About ViVid Strike!

If you are hunting for a new action series, ViVid Strike! deserves a look (2016). The setup goes like this. The setup: Raised up in the same orphanage, Fuuka and Rinne were once close friends but parted ways after a quarrel ended up with Rinne overwhelming Fuuka with her martial art skills. Fuuka lived a life of poverty after leaving the orphanage but an accidental encounter with renowned martial arts champion Einhard Stratos leads to the discovery of Fuuka's hidden talent in fighting.

Next up: Einhard offers Fuuka a job and through her coaching and encouragement, she is set to meet Rinne again, in the ring.

In an action series like this, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Lutecia Alpine (Natsuko Kuwatani) and Vivio Takamachi (Kaori Mizuhashi) are two of the characters you will meet early. Think of it as a pick for viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. At 12 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.

Production & Appeal

Seven Arcs Pictures is the studio behind ViVid Strike!, and its direction shapes everything from character design to motion. Because it leans on action, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. With a 6.7/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. Voice casting, including Natsuko Kuwatani as Lutecia Alpine, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. It aired in 2016, which makes it easy to place in the wider anime calendar.
