Picture
"Antonio was the only one, you see. Who kept saying that he would let the whole world know about my... about Ophelia's singing." - Ophelia to Diva

Intense action scenes. The emotional reunion of the twins. Beautiful soundtrack underneath the starry sky. The central philosophical question of Vivy: Fluorite Eye's Song what does "putting your heart into something" means. Not only the AIs answer it with their earnest actions, the production team behind "Vivy" certainly make it with great passion, too. The Sunrise Arc definitely surpasses the previous arc.

Vivy: Fluorite Eye's song Arc 1- the journey of century begins

Picture
​ "My mission is to make everyone happy by singing. That is the only reason I continue to operate." -Diva
At the first glance, "Vivy: Fluorite Eye's Song" is a deceptively normal idol animated series whose voice actors/actresses want to promote their music career. But Vivy is a no nonsense profound story about Artificial Intelligence (AI) that offers one of the best watching experience in 2021. Its writers Tappei Nagatsuki and Eiji Umeha are aiming to overcome the colossal shadow of their previous works; and Wit Studio is doing its best to create stunningly high quality animation.

The first arc contains two episodes: Episode 1: "My Code: To Make Everyone Happy with My Singing" and Episode 2: "Quarter Note- The Beginning of the One Hundred-Year Journey". Together, they offer much more enjoyment than our anticipation. ​

The Killing Joke: From One Bad days to Insanity

The Killing Joke written by Alan Moore and Brian Bolland is probably the best story of the Joker ever told as it provides the readers the more sophisticated image of the Joker. 

All it takes is just one bad day to drive a sane person insane. 
After the Joker escapes from Arkham Asylum, he comes to Commissioner Jim Gordon and shoots his daughter Barbara in front of him, making her unable to walk afterward. Then, the Joker takes pictures of Barbara lying on the ground painfully and try to use them to drive Commissioner Gordon mad, to prove the point that “all it takes is one bad day to reduce the sanest man alive to lunacy. 

In addition, the Joker also attempts to make Batman believe that he is crazy as himself, which is denied by Batman repeatedly until he accepts the last joke at the end of the story. ​
At one point the Joker debates his own philosophy. In his view, the Joker shows that there is not much different between him and everyone else. in the concept of "one bad day "All it takes is one bad day to reduce the sanest man alive to lunacy. That’s how far the world is from where I am. Just one bad day.”

One bad day makes a good man homicidal.
