Ventus_S said: I finished 2 episodes already and I know why the rage of so many people. This show is clearly not for edgy teenagers who only likes power fantasy, yet people over-hyped it as if all the anime community should watch it. Mal score pretty much reflects the average age group of audience in Mal. I'm 30 and I find Violet Evergarden to be terribly dull. Seriously this episode was all about writing letters, could they have picked anything more boring to show us? Not to mention the dialogue is painfully bad. I don't dislike this show because I'm an edgy teenager, I dislike it because it's such a snooze fest. |
 |
| And the hate bandwagon continues. Gotta love MAL. |

| I am disappointed so far.12 min of 2nd ep felt like an hour. Animation and graphics are amazing however characters and plot are dull. Violet is your typical kuudere character, she's physically strong, lack emotions, common sense and have cliche, sad backstory that is trying to force me to feel sorry for her. I was expecting a soldier with PTSD who is trying to adapt to new reality, not an emotionless doll who's only concerned about "where is Gilbert" and "I want to know "love". How about understanding other human beings around you first? I don't think I will enjoy this show but I will still watch it for graphics. |

What I wanted to say is, that I strongly think that they are human. Lost in translation. ^^' Thanks! I totally agree. Corrected the previous post. |

sherpico said: I agree. My top 2 shows from last year are Rakugo and 3-gatsu no Lion, I absolutely adore those shows. This, on the other hand, doesn't seem to have much more going for it than the visuals. Pretty sad that fans of this series try to, for some reason, justify them liking this by saying people who don't like it are "edgy teenagers".Ventus_S said: Honestly this anime should have been a niche genre like Rakuga, but people overhyped it and all the edgy teenagers caught in the hype train and watch something that's inherently not interesting for them. It's funny you say this. I'm in my 30s and tend to hate 'edgy' shows, but to me so far this one seems anything but mature. It wants to be, with its themes of war, suffering, and Love™ but it all comes off like a teenager's unrealistic, overly romanticized conception of those things. And of course some people say "then stop watching" if you don't really like the show. Nothing new to see here I guess. |
Interesting... but it's my honest remark on how Violet looked like, not that I'm that knowledgeable on these kind of things(or general knowledge as a whole) |
 |
| sh*t this anime is living up to its hype. for this person that can't comprehend emotions, that colonel hodgins sure playing with them... feeding false hope. i really feel for her |
 |
| Still only 2 episodes so won't jump to conclusions that easily, but for now want to say that i expected much more from this, the PV was so much hype, well mb it was just my fault. So far the story is nothing special + pretty slow pacing. Not feeling any connection to the characters, i love most of KyoAni shows and mostly for the characters, but this just doesn't stand even close, mb/hopefully?! for now. While the pacing is slow i thought that Erica's story-introduction was rushed, like she came up with her realization out of nowhere/really fast, felt rather strange than anything. For now good-decent, the visuals in the 1st episode were amazing, in this one nothing really impressive. I wonder if the story can surprise me, kinda skeptical, but really hope so. |
 |
| The visuals were still pretty good, but other than that this episode was pretty dull and tedious and annoying, and I don't really care about any of the characters so far. And that's not because I dislike shows that are willing to take things a little more slowly (I love 3-gatsu, for instance), it's just because this seems to be missing something to make me empathise with the characters and actually have any interest in what is happening. Still, the first episode showed that this show can be great, so I'm not gonna dismiss it just yet. |
Kittens-kun said: And the hate bandwagon continues. Gotta love MAL. Indeed. It's almost as if most shows that get the word 'hype' labelled on it will eventually catch the attention of the hate bandwagon. Darling in the Franxx and Fate Stay Night: Unlimited Blade works, for me, fall in that category too, especially Fate, where most episode discussions when it aired was filled with constant barrage of fans and haters shitposting each other, going back and forth between both sides. Rather sad and pathetic when discussion threads turn into such immature and embarrassing rubbish like that, but hey, that's the internet in a nutshell for you. ¬__¬ On topic with the episode in question, I like how Violet tries her best to settle into her role as an Auto Memory Doll. Her blunt responses with the other dolls and customers was a bit brutal, but funny to watch, until the moustache'd man went into anger mode. Erica might've made mistakes with her letter, but there's no excuse for the man to blow his lid and become verbally violent towards someone who trying her best to do her job, so Violet did the right thing by putting him in his place. =) Hodgin's talk with Cattleya at the end was certainly interesting. Going by what he said, Gilbert is either dead or is alive, but has gone to a different country far away from his home country. Sure, it's too easy to say that he should just tell Violet what he knows already, but who knows how she'll react to that. Would she go to such huge lengths to find him again, or how would she reach if Gilbert is actually dead? Having the emerald brooch again has filled her with hope, so I'm hoping myself that Violet will find out the answer soon enough. So yea, this episode, for me, was still really good and the animation touches was personally better than the first episode. =) |
| Oh you guys its Kyoani's work its going to get bigger either way. |
| Into the Internet! |
| Seems like where getting bits of flashbacks every episode. Consistently beautiful animation and an ED which though I'm not fond of. Would like see more of Violet's interactions in her new job on the next episodes and the other characters' perspective. |
 |
| Oh wow, I’m surprised that so many people found this episode to be boring, bad, etc... I can’t find a single flaw. This anime is just so innocent and good, I don’t get the hate |
| idk why many didnt like this ep but i enjoyed it. violet is savage as fuck without realizing it lmao 5/5 |

| This is better than the first episode, I love it |

| So far this show isn't much but an eye candy. Violet's voice is starting to really get on my nerves but the worst part is how in your face everything is in this show. Somehow it reminds me of Musaigen when it's going "here's the sad part, be sad", "this is the funny part, laugh", "ooh, drama is coming, get ready to be moved". Some shots coupled with music were trying so hard it almost made me think it might be a parody of melodrama. I'll give it one more episode to see if it's good for anything more than playing on the side to glance at sometimes. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| Really nice episode. that ending song was pretty average though. |
| This anime is really heart-thugging. This episode is very very good and the animation (as always, Kyoani) is Top-notched. |
| Signature removed.AGAIN. |
| Better than first ep, but Violet's obsession with Gilbert--while understandable--is really annoying. |
| I need sleep. |

Cross  AngeHey guys check my profile for current airing season anime recommendation (guaranteed best taste) |
 She's such a Boa Hancock look alike. Really nice episode again,even better than the first one for me,getting the feel for this show and I can relate to Violets struggle. |

| holy fucking damn are there some fine ass women in this anime O___O |
   |
| Wait, this is filler? I don't even notice lol. Still very good filler though |
| I knew I was very familiar with Cattleya's VA from somewhere. She voiced Lt. Heideman in Sound of the Sky. Her voice is quite lovely. :) |

Kittens-kun said: And the hate bandwagon continues. Gotta love MAL. Can't take negative feedback? Everything you love is wonderful, even to the other? Please. Anyway, pretty average so far, the first ep is ok, but this one is just meh. Probably come back when this is finished airing so I can get the whole view of the show. |
| ♬ Nothing's gonna change my love for you You ought to know by now how much I love you One thing you can be sure of I'll never ask for more than your love ♬ |
| Violet is not like the other women sinse she's just a doll, but still she needs a lot to learn on her job. Hoping she can gain emotions as time goes on. The revelation of someone did steal Violet's precious gem to sell at the Black Market while she was still recovering at the hospital was very low whoever it was, and also that Gilbert did die is just aweful and heart breaking :( the feels... Not that I knew he died, it's just that I believed that he was hiding somewhere. Now I know the reunion is impossible ;_; Very nice episode :) I have high hopes for this anime and I can't wait to see how this goes ^^ |
 [*]My Completed List [*]♪Listen ► [/list][/left] |
| This is hitting my feels :/ |
 |
| Damn, what a dull episodes and probably will get even boring in later episodes |
| Rance X is A GOAT. |
| At least Violet doesn't seems as inconsistent as how the first episode portrayed her. The episode were very slow paced, but not necessarily boring. I can't really understand why is this anime is so overhyped, its not even that good to begin with (That doesn't mean its bad... Just saying) Also, people should stop assuming that only "Edgy teenagers" won't like this anime because its for "Adults"... that has to be the most ridiculous excuse I've ever read. I agree with many people here, Hibike had better animation quality than this. |

Major_Gilbert said: Well looks like they're really going all out in terms of consistency in the art. I liked the way this episode focused on Violet's interactions with her colleagues, which the novel didn't really focus much on. BUT, almost everything in this episode was just extra plot added by KyoAni. Only a very small portion of Chapter 6, which was the flashback, was included. Now this is getting me worried. With 12 episodes left, they have to make sure they adapt the 12 remaining chapters perfectly. Slightly felt like a waste of an episode to some extent. In what order they will adapt the chapters is yet another problem they will have to solve. The new characters they added, Erica and Iris, felt more like a bad addition to me. They're making it harder for themselves by reducing focus on the other characters who are clearly more relevant and interesting, especially Hodgins and Cattleya. yet it was so much better than the first episode, if an adaptation does things right it doesn't have to be a copy of the source |
| Not really bad nor really good for now. Let's see how it goes. |
| That letter, just LOL. I can't believe nobody proof read it before sending it out. Loving this so far. |
 |
| The animation is still amazing but i didn't get the flirty scene tho, So are those 2 like married? what did she mean by "Just because you wanted a girl"? |
| "Even if it has good reviews, if I don't like it then it is shit" -Some random anime character |

Did I even say “the visuals are so good”? I said that the anime is innocent and pure. You know you’re just hating on it if you say things I didn’t even say. I’ve watched enough anime to be able to criticize an anime, and you know what? I don’t care pointing out flaws, I know this anime has some flaws, I noticed that, but I just want to enjoy 20 minutes of my life instead of saying “oh wow this is so bad, so bad that I will now go and tell other people who are enjoying this anime how bad this episode was, listing all the flaws this anime has” This is probably what you’re doing and I’m not interested in your hobby. You don’t like it? Nice, but don’t quote my post |

| Violet Evergarden continues to deliver! This episode felt a lot longer than 24 minutes in the best way, I'm just sad to see so much hate for it... but I guess I can understand it, it's not for everyone. It's become pretty clear that if you can't stand slow pacing, then this show isn't for you, an episode feeling way longer than it is, even if it's for all the right reasons, just won't sit well with a lot of people. |
| "EVERYBODY, CLAP YOUR HANDS!" "PLUS ULTRA!" |
| It gives me the feeling that hodgins might be gilbert but I doubt it. Violet getting used to the typesetting and gets her brooch back, erica finds her passion for writing back. |
 |
| I blame the trailers Kyoani put out giving people the wrong expectations, but people need to realize that this show is a drama/romance show. And as a result it's going to be slow paced and boring for some people. Like many have said, the sheer amount of hype this show was getting was bound to lead to a backlash. But at this point some of the complaints are just silly. |
| Another great episode...So Gilbert is dead :( When I think of the moment when Violet will know and will learn what his words meant :( :( Whoa so many hate it (definitely FMA fans who try to prevent this anime to take 1st place) |

| The only scene that was good was the one at the ending the others were plain boring listening to those other staff members they should have focused more on Violet. |
