The portal Mipon he has interviewed Tappei nagatsuki Yes Eiji Umehara about his involvement in the story of the original anime by WIT Studio, Vivy: Fluorite Eyes Song. Both authors commented on the possibility of making a sequel and other interesting aspects.
When asked if they had planned to produce only thirteen episodes from the start, Nagatsuki replied: “We actually only wanted to do twelve episodes. That was the original plan, but when we tried to organize the story into Episode 1, Episode 2, etc., we just couldn’t fit everything that was assigned for Episode 1 into one episode. We had already decided how the story would end, but as we were writing it we realized that we couldn’t put all of the things we planned for Episode 1 into one episode. So we asked the producer to add another episode to us».
Nagatsuki also commented on the possibility of a sequel: «Both Umehara-san and I thought everything ended just fine, so it wouldn’t feel good to continue the story. (…) I don’t think we can add more to the story, even if it was a huge hit the first time and had rave reviews. (…) Well, if there is enough demand we could release a spoken drama CD or an OVA! (…) Maybe there is a way to do a side story that is not related to the main story, as is the case with the Jump films. Like Vivy’s secret sisters or sealed points of uniqueness».
Nagatsuki continued to make some notes towards the end when asked if Vivy remembered anything from her time as a diva: “This is open to interpretation. We wanted to leave him undecided. Viewers may have been a little confused when they saw the ending in which short haired Vivy, who looks like a normal and charming woman, talks to Matsumoto. You might have been filled with questions like, “Was this all a dream? Or was it real? How long has it been, does Vivy remember everything? Is Matsumoto okay? “and so on. But I think it’s best not to reveal the answers».
Umehara added: ‘I think it’s good that anyone who’s seen Vivy can come up with their own ideal ending. I have my own version of it, and so do Umehara-san. Even between the two of us we are different about what the “right” answer is, so we decide to leave it unanswered and to agree with everyone about what happens in the end. (…) I agree with Nagatsuki-san. Everyone, including the producer, agrees that we want viewers to interpret the ending in their own way.».
And they concluded with yet another comment on the possibility of continuing the animation project: «We haven’t decided either way yet. A second season would certainly be hard to justify, but a side story or spin-off is a different matter and not entirely ruled out.. As for Vivy and Matsumoto, their story is definitely over. But looking at other characters, we could do things like what the sisters did before this or that day, or what happened while Matsumoto slept between the points of the singularity.».
