Synopsis

Isabella, the daughter of the noble York family, is enrolled in an all-girls academy to be groomed into a dame worthy of nobility. However, she has given up on her future, seeing the prestigious school as nothing more than a prison from the outside world. Her family notices her struggling in her lessons and decides to hire Violet Evergarden to personally tutor her under the guise of a handmaiden.

At first, Isabella treats Violet coldly. Violet seems to be able to do everything perfectly, leading Isabella to assume that she was born with a silver spoon. After some time together, Isabella begins to realize that Violet has had her own struggles and starts to open up to her. Isabella soon reveals that she has lost contact with her beloved younger sister, Taylor Bartlett, whom she yearns to see again.

Having experienced the power of words through her past clientele, Violet asks if Isabella wishes to write a letter to Taylor. Will Violet be able to help Isabella convey her feelings to her long-lost sister?

First things first,
Thank you so much KyoAni for the World Premiere Screening on AnimagiC, Germany.

Simply put, the story is like a very long version of a typical Violet Evergarden Episode, where this time Violet considers someone as her first real friend.

Animation is like every KyoAni movie breath taking and in comparison to the TV-series, there is slightly no difference. As for the soundtrack, there is some old very recognized ones as well as some new tracks. Main and support characters are presented or mentioned, with also a lot of references from the TV-Series.

Overall, very good story, animation and soundtracks.

Mixed Feelings

Never thought I would rate a Violet Evergarden movie so low but the truth is that the storyline felt sloppy, there were too many cliches, and the bath scenes and almost naked women plus the unnecessary yuri vibe felt really forced and fan service like.
Of course, the animation, music, and art were amazing as always. But apart from that, they could have focused a lot more on the story and less on the baths in my opinion.
One thing I liked was the continuation of the first story in the second half of the movie and the appearance of characters that appeared in the ...

violet Evergarden is maybe the only anime that I rated 10 in myanimelist , which makes it harder for me to accept that this movie is also called violet Evergarden .

(SPOILERS!!!)

first of all the art is amazing as usual , it was the only thing that saved the movie . the sound is good too .

now , let's talk about what was bad .

this story mustn't be a movie , you can call it an OVA or anything but not a movie . usually in movies there is the first part where you get to know the main characters , understand the world ... they're living in , and the problems they're facing . The second part is where the characters interact with each other , face their problems and have a character development . The last part is the climax where the problems are solved , the characters live happily , and the movie ends .

while here nothing of that happens . the first part was good at first seeing violet interact with Isabella and I thought that this is going to be the movies main problem , helping Isabella who wants to be free and hates her life , or helping her to meet with her little sister . Yet the whole first part was only about Violet and Isabella doing things together ( which actually , allow me to say , made think I was watching some Yuri stuff . I'm not a fan of this genre , and I only watched some episodes of a GL anime years ago , yet I still had this vibes that their interacting with each other was a little different than two girls getting to know each other and become friends ) and some scenes where we see how much violet is the perfect girl that can do anything and everything .

The second part is where the movie started to become bad , and I mean the little sister's part . it was meaningless , was only there for nothing but to add time . most of the scenes weren't needed , the ending would be nice if we saw the little girl gets emotional after hearing the letter her older sister wrote for her and then deciding to become a postman , then we see her after years when she gets older that she actually became one .

but no , what we saw was her delivering letters with Violet or Benedict , then delivering a letter to her older sis , then we see that she was adopted and that's it . that's how the movie ends , sorry , what is supposed to be a movie .

now , talking about her delivering her letter to Isabella , which is the last scene , I have one thing to say : worst scene ever .
There is nothing that can explain why taylor hid in the trees and never appeared in front of her sister who was separated from her for lot's of years . you see , i'm 15 years old and i'm 100% sure that i'd run the fastest I can and hug my older sis ( I don't have one ) If I were to be separated from her , so how could a little girl whose maybe not even 10 years old not do so ?

now , because I talked a lot , the last things I want to talk about is two characters . the first one is the blond girl who I don't remember her name , who wanted to befriend Isabella , she was meaningless , I don't even know what her role was , if she disappeared nothing in the story would change . ( funny fact : to show you how much meaningless this character was , when I searched about her in MAL she wasn't even in the character list , so I don't even know her name ) .

The second character is benedict , the blond postman . it's not that he's is bad or something , it's just that the movie focused suddenly on his character without any sign or warning or whatever the hell you call it .
we saw him delivering letters then boom ! he became an important character in the movie !

he wasn't even a important character in the series or the first part of the movie . maybe if the movie focused on him from the beginning , shown us a different side of him , and made him a main character in the movie , that'll maybe would be better .

" we deliver happiness "

the last thing I want to say is , even thought I didn't like the movie , I liked what it was trying to say

" Even if you were separated forever , as long as you call the names , you'll never forget each other "
