[poorpinocchio]

i think about jacob geller’s “pinocchio is a story about art and god” video essay quite a bit. more specifically, i think about the quote “abandoned by the god who created you” at least twice daily.

geller, if i’m remembering this correctly, says this about a.i. artificial intelligence, which is based on pinocchio, but i’ve noticed that it’s a reoccuring theme within most, if not all, interpretations of the story.

some examples include shrek, the original carlo collodi story, disney’s pinocchio, saban’s pinocchio, guillermo del toro’s pinocchio, etc.

as a fact, geppetto is pinocchio’s god. he created this puppet with his own two hands. he is not only pinocchio’s father, he is pinocchio’s Father. similarly, the fairy with turquoise hair, aka the blue fairy, could be considered a goddess, as she gave him life in most interpretations.

now that it is established that geppetto is god to him, it’s important to mention that geppetto either abandons him, mistreats him, or is overall not too present in pinocchio’s life. as an example, in shrek 1, we see geppetto sell pinocchio away. in collodi’s original book, geppetto just stops showing up for multiple chapters when pinocchio needs him most. same with saban’s 1972 pinocchio.

so, in almost all interpretations, pinocchio is abandoned by the god who created him. geppetto is that god and he is not there. the blue fairy doesn’t actually appear in so many productions.

Vivy: Fluorite Eye's Song

Y'know what? This anime is really good. It might be yet another variation of the same story of "AI grows beyond their program and becomes sentient" that we've seen a thousand times before. But I like that story every time anyway, and I want to always have infinite ones like it to choose from.

I also like that this time the extremely autistic-coded robot is a woman, cause those are rarer. I like Diva/Vivy being given the same plot beats as any other robot of this caliber. Such as being naïve, blank-faced and not understanding emotions but wanting to, and wanting to understand what heart and passion means.

I think more people who love robots could stand to watch this anime and have a good time. For this reason I am going to tag it under other robot media. Think of it as a personal recc!

I really like the animation, the different arcs and their emotional moments, I love the sound design and the ending was really really beautiful.

Especially if you're a fan of Detroit: Become Human, or the Terminator, cause this anime was directly inspired by them while taking a different route.
