After giving up The Attack of the Giants anime after three television seasons, Studio WIT was finally able to focus on new projects, some of which are original in nature, such as the ambitious one Vivy: The song of Fluorite Eye. In fact, the authors chose a fairly interesting method for writing the work.

Vivi: Flourite Eye’s Song has a highly respected staff. Just think that the composition of the story and the script are two hugely popular faces in the industry, Tappei Nagatsuki (Re: zero) and Eiji Umehara (ChΓ€oS; child). Recently, the two writers talked about working on the anime, which began in 2016 with writing an unpublished novel whose job it was to lay the groundwork for the anime adaptation.

  • Umehara: “When it comes to original anime, it can be difficult for a team to see the big picture, just as it can be difficult for employees to share the same vision. But if there’s a novel first, it can be used as a starting point. ”
  • Nagatsuki: β€œAnd that’s why we decided to use a novel for the original concept. When we started working on the anime, we had several meetings with the director and producer to make the biggest changes to the story, the events of the story and even the storylines that lead to the end have changed. Whether you know the story of the anime or the novel or not, the experience is different. “
  • Umehara: “A great advantage of this method is that in this way you can reassure the team that there is an original story to work on, while at the same time the viewers are excited because they don’t know what to expect, what that is The nice thing about one is original anime. If I may, the real downside is that this method takes an absurd amount of time. The project started towards the end of 2016, we started writing the novel in 2017, which didn’t finish until the second half of the following year. I wouldn’t recommend this method to anyone. “

And you, instead, what do you think of the particular approach the writers had with that The new anime from WIT Studio is expected to be released on April 3rd? Let us know what you think about this with a comment below.
