As a huge fan of the V.W.P girls and Kamitsubaki studio, I personally liked the anime as a fan of them, BUT if you watch this from a non-fan it is pretty confusing. Before we even get into the anime, this anime is about a group of virtual singers called Virtual witch phenomenon (V.W.P) part of Kamitsubaki studio. To explain this anime in simple terms, it's like Noragami mixed in with singing. First off, the setting of the story. Even if you like V.W.P you wouldn't understand the story at all if you haven't read the novel, Kamitsubaki-shi NOVELIZED, or the visual novel game Kamitsubaki-shiREGENERATE. This anime takes place after everything that happened in the novel occurred, so it's a sequel to it. To summarize, it’s basically what the girls had to go through to form a bond with their familiars. Meanwhile the visual novel goes further than that, it’s like the anime, you have multiple endings, and some of the features used in the game is incorperated into the anime. If you haven’t already and is a die hard V.W.P fan like me, I would recommend playing the visual novel (the novelized version isn’t out in english yet but the visual novel is)

As a V.W.P fan, I LOVED the anime so much. I've loved KAF for the past few years, and seeing her in an anime and them incorporating some of my favourite songs into the anime made me so happy. They put songs from her oldest to her newest albums which I loved. Watching this anime made me love the V.W.P girls more too, since I’ve only really listened to the group songs and all of KAF’s songs but none of the others solos. The anime is also pretty dark, I didn’t expect to be animated so gory but it's still good.

I absolutely loved how they showed the relationship between the girls and their familiars, it’s so cute and wholesome it made me love the bond they have even more. It’s different reading it in a novel, compared to seeing how it was animated. So at times it is a gory suspense anime, but the other times is a wholesome story showing the girl's day to day lives and their relationship with each sector and their familiars.

One thing I liked is how they incorporated V.W.P’s live from 2024. I wasn’t expecting that and they used the model used in the music video too instead of the anime one (all though the base model is still the same the shader and coloring is different). That was unique, but I thought I was watching some other show when I first saw it.

Overall, as a V.W.P fan I recommend this anime, but if you’re just someone who wants to watch it casually without all the reading then I wouldn’t recommend it.
