Eprico said: _weyhxx said: The age diffrence isn't a problem in general. My problem is just, that gilbert raised her like a daughter while she was a kid. It's a huge diffrence if a girl with 18 met a guy 15 older than her and loving him, or a guy adopting a child just to marry her when she turns 18. As I said, I dont have a problem with the age gap in general, it's just the fact, that kids are manipulable and he was the only person who treat her like a human being... sure she got feelings for him... but he shouldn't bc that's pretty pedophilic in my personal opinion. No offence or something, just my thoughts. It's by definition not pedophilic because they're both over 18 but I can see where you're coming from. However, you have to keep in mind that they were apart for several years before this point so Gilbert was absolutely not grooming her. Besides, it's not like they immediately got married. It's likely that the feelings turned truly romantic years after the end of the movie. For me this is totally fine. At least it's not mushoku tensei Now they are both over 18 yo. But in the moment gilbert confessed (when he dissapeared) violet was just 14. And the fact, that he raised her like a daughter make it worse, imo. Imagine a guy adopts a 10yo Girl, tell her he loves her, when shes 18 and then marry her. That would be a scandal. But I dont wanna attack u. Its just m opinion and the way I see. But for me, Gilbert is disgusting. Violet is not blame... But as I already said, its just my opinion. If u have not problem with that, its totally finde :) |
| In the anime I never perceived their love as romantic so I was definitely grossed out by the movie. The movie explicitly shows it is romantic. The man literally raised her and made her kill people. It was normal that she would have these feelings but they definitely should not have been mutual... |
| first off age difference, second, off i never saw them as romantic thing mainly a father-son relationship |
| I always knew that they were meant to be romantic. Even if the first season tried to be somewhat ambiguous about it, the way their interactions were written and portrayed on screen made it very obvious (at least to me) that we were supposed to see them romantically. But I'm not a fan of it. Firstly, the age gap is really eww, and secondly, the fact that he's kinda her adopted father is an even bigger eww. Also the movie made it so much more obvious that they were romantically interested in each other that it's impossible to even stay wilfully ignorant anymore. |

| At first, it seems like a father and daughter kind of relationship, even Hodgins see Violet as daughter. After the ending of the tv series and when she finally understood "I love you", her blush gave it away that it is all about romantic relationship. Disappointed, yes, but nothing we can do about it, the story and the anime genre was made in Japan after all where age of consent is lower there which I still think is pretty messed up but whatever. TinaTunaTina said: I think people also fail to realize in that timeline that women got married young. My grandmother was born in 1950 and was married at 16 and had a kid. Times change. I think Gilbert really does truly love her and Violet truly loves him. That is true, in the past, laws are different than today but even then, I am still getting mix feeling about the entire series about romance between the two, other than that, it is definitely an amazing series overall. |
NaCreamy said: It's definitely romance and they're gonna have kids. They're pinky swearing in the bedroom in the last scene before things are about to happen.Does anyone else see a romantic relationship between these two after seeing the movie? Because i don't, i only see their relationship as a father and a daughter but my friend sees them getting maried after the movie. Am i the only one who does this? |

| At the end of 1st season I thought Violet had moved on so I didn't think much about it It's a weird relationship It would've been more romantic if they had shown some more Gilbert related content |
 |
| I think it was natural result that you could see both falling in love with one another, that said, this movie was very lackluster in that regard, simply put we dont get enough scenes with them together, it was disappointing in that regard. |

ManWild said: Ew. Shipping them is the very last thing I would ever do. That's disgusting Yes, it's disgusting |
| I didn't see the ending scene with Gilbert/Violet at the shore as romantic. There was too much trauma and too many different emotions at play. It was too chaotic. That considered, the two stayed on the island and gave a promise at the very end of the movie. It's highly likely they'd find time for romance too, after calming down. Bringing age gap as something negative in here is ridiculous IMO. Years passed since the end of the war. Violet is no longer a child. There's nothing wrong in them loving each other. |
| The age gap between the two is just too great imo, even though I heard they get married in the novel. 18 and 29 is just a no for me, even for anime/fiction 😭 |

| dunno... I saw it from get go being romantic... Violet being unaware of her romantic feelings towards Gilbert... and it being the whole journey of her understanding human emotions and learning the emotion called "love" ... thus when when she finally realized loving Gilbert, finding him, expressing it to him and finally reaching those emotions it was absolutely beautiful... most of the series I simply wanted to hug her and see her smile.. most of series felt like crying back of my throat. With movie it was like great release with both tears and joy of her finding her love... They had complex start to their relationship... (at start essentially Gilbert took in Violet as stray cat that he took care of) but no doubt they had romantic attachment by the time they got split up... Gilbert had his own reasons staying away... and Violet was left alone and seeking.. searching for both him and learning about people, herself and emotions. One of my absolute favorite Anime love stories... loved Violet herself... the extremely dramatic, emotional keeping you on verge of tears story and that ABSOLUTELY stunning visual and audio design. |

@MermaidGalaxies In real life, people in their 40s and 30s marry people in their 30s and 20s respectively all the time
Should we make it illegal too ? It's not a bad thing when two mentally healthy individuals are happy to do it.

| @Arminken 20s and 30s isn't teenager age . But the series obviously wasn't set in modern day era, so, age gaps back then were considered normal 🤷♂️ |
