| Interesting start to this one! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Yui Ishikawa AND Aya Endou? Such recognizable voices <3 <3 So what's Violet's prior relationship with the Evergarden family she was just adopted into? Did she already have the surname? Was she just given the surname offscreen because Hodgins just addressed her as "Violet Evergarden" and she didn't correct him or anything? So does she have eidetic memory? She was willing to let the guy who wanted to send a letter to his childhood friend let her know what to write upfront instead of sitting down and write while listening (that and the fact she knows Hodgins despite only meeting him two times before). |

| love story??bro those mouth and lip movements....CRINGE LEVEL 1000!whats wrong with Violet though?i am sick of seeing those type of behaviors in Anime! |
 |
| This is a TV anime for real??? Holy sheet, the animation, sound directing, backgrounds are on movie level. This has to be a an anime movie in disguise as a TV series. |
| Based Certified. I love anime armpits. |
| Really slow paced first episode. The animation was top notch and colours palette is beautiful. |
 |
| At first, I was not going to comment, but I was happily pleased with the first episode, so I may as well do it. I never got around the hype to watch it when it was airing by I still recall that first promo material that lead the community to be really intrigued by the gorgeous animation. Seems like KyoAni managed to accomplish its goal, really gorgeous and detailed visuals, backgrounds and character designs, but also motion. It is a visual treat, but I m positive the story will also go in interesting ways, it already looks rather interesting and unique. I will make sure to slowly enjoy the anime for sure~~ |
 |
| A pretty nice first episode. The art and animation is gorgeous. Everything looks so beautiful and the story with the post-war setting seems interesting. Not a big fan of Violet with her extreme emotionless, robotic behaviour but I hope that we get to see quite a development for her character. |
  I want to know what it is, this 'sin' they say I've committed. |
| damn, that was beautiful & sad. I think Violet already low-key knows what love feels like |
  |
| A neat opening for an amazing anime! Loved it. |
 |
| 20 of 10. This episode is very good, they tell us a very well planned story, in addition to its good animation. I guess it's not easy for her to understand human feelings, I want to see how this story continues. |
| Sometimes otakus are rejected by society, so I discovered that it is much better to be an otaku in secret.  |
| Well, it was pretty pretentious and melancholic from the very start. Good anime develop characters first and only then gives viewer a reason to empathize with them and bad anime throw some silly occasions at viewer even though he or she is full of questions and doesn't even know all these characters. Very slow and boring episode full of meaningless flashy flashbacks, MC is a typical annoying kudere with a big nameplate on her "android can love too", obvious story and character development from the start - pathetic. It's like an author was feared of consequences from making anime in sci-fi or cyberpunk style because he hadn't nothing to say and show in such setting especially because of famous rivals. So we have some kind of alternative 1930s here but with a girl which act like a robot and has more advanced implanted hands than she could have in our days, sounds like a silly fairy tale to me. Good art but who cares? Some music here and there but who cares? It's just another flashy anime full of melodrama and teary puppy eyes, I bet it was made for females (because its art style saying it all plus melancholic vibes) and simpletons (which love everything flashy and pretentious). |

| The first episode is very interesting. The animation is great as well as the BGM. |
| Surprised to see the mixed reviews on this first episode which I thought was great for a introductory episode. Not a fan of light novel adaptations half of the time but this show might reel me in already. |
   |
| yea yea bored dadddddtraaaaa |
| Given the amount of spoiler tags on the first page of this forum, I'm too scared to read anyone else's thoughts in case they're less polite with their spoilers. |
 |
| Beautiful first episode, really love how well animated it feels, this is gonna be some kind of emotional rollercoster for sure in the future |
| It was so beautiful...... as expected of Kyoani. I was already tearing up & the story has just begun. I’m enthralled with Gilbert & Violet’s relationship..... |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
The first episode was really beautiful ngl. Stunning animation and I really love the music choice.  So, she does love him but she doesn't understand it! Guess this is gonna be a journey of self-discovery! This was cute ngl! I kinda feel bad for her They do fit her! Oh God no, :( I feel really bad for her So, he feels guilty about it |
Mess with waifu, lose your laifu |
| This looks great but was kind of boring |
 _______I like rocks__  |
| that was a charming first episode. kyoto's at it again with the great animation and sound work. take a shot everytime she said major, youd be dead lmao i can get why she says his name that much tho. "i want to know hwat 'i love you' means" ahh definitely looking forward to her journey for that then |
| That was good for the first episode. Although I have to admit it was a bit boring. I had take some breaks. |
| I can't believe this series is made by Netflix. However, I can't understand how someone could have gotten this way just because they were at war, behaving more like a robot than a warrior. 🤧🤚🏻 But even now begins the story I wanted to see. 🤧  |
| Ah, KyoAni sure knows how to animate stuff beautifully. It's one of the only reasons I'm looking forward to watching this, tbh. An interesting start. Violet sure had a rough time during the war, being a killing machine and all. Quite a contrast to her new work as an Auto Memoir Doll, that's for sure. I feel bad for Hodgins, not being able to tell Violet about the true fate of Major Gilbert. With that being said, I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't deceased at all (which I gathered he was from this opening ep). |
 |
| Erika Harlacher and Kyle McCarley are fantastic in their roles as Violet and Lt. Hodgins, respectively. |
"Molly Ringwald" out right now - check my Linktree!  |
| Looks good show from the comments but not for me. Predictable dramas are not my thing, or tear-jerkers as you may say. |
 |
| The animation looks really good there playing it off as if Gilbert is dead witch he might be but if he is alive he’s probably in very bad condition |
 |
| *Wind blows into the window* *Paper flies outside, against the wind* |
| Heartwrenching and heartbreaking! And it's only the first episode! |

| Okay i regret my decision a lot by started watching this first episode, animation/artstyle/visual imo is just way too out of this world so that's that holy moly but this already got me feeling depressed and i actually shed a tear just a little. Fudge i need to watch a happy go lucky anime episode to make me forget this hollow feeling. |
 |
| Damn the first episode and I'm already crying. Also how did that paper travel for so long?? I need that magical piece of paper. |
As a wise man once said, "No one hates anime more than anime fans"  |
| i never thought i'd watch violet evergarden since i don't usually go for kyoani works, but HOOOOOLY shit. i kept replaying and rewatching this episode to the point where it took me an hour and twenty to even finish it, leaving me in disbelief that this first episode was only 24 minutes long. there's a whole season. this alone is movie-worthy... stunning animation and a baffling attention to detail... the ample praise i've heard over the years didn't shake my foundation; only what i had read by chance a day ago from someone's comment that this had war aftermath. even though that was what i came here for, ironically this is turning out to be way too depressing. i contemplated dropping it and trying a happier anime instead. until i realized that i don't even prefer happy anime, this is supposed to be right up my alley, damn it... 10/10. |
| Man, KyoAni shows always look just so damn good. It's weird seeing people call Violet a kid, somehow she looks very grown up to me. |
