| Anotha great episode with Violet slowly understanding the human emotions. Dat ending in the tower <3 FeelsGoodMan |
Eanraig said: Really annoyed that every episode has been very predictable so far. And Violet passing just after one decently written letter is kinda bull... What do you mean by predictable? This anime isn't focused on plot twists but rather on character development (at least from the episodes so far). This is probably one of the best anime I've seen in terms of character portrayals and even the character side stories are brilliant. I mean at face value, it's a person's search for emotions. If you would like some unpredictability, please stop watching and posting stupid complaints. Also, there is some very powerful use of emotions when the letter is being written. The letter was short, sweet, and direct, exactly what was needed to describe what Luculia was feeling. Coincidentally, Violet was perfectly qualified for the job because she wouldn't be able to describe any form of complex emotions and she tends to oversimplify the situation. It's hilarious because that was the full extent of Violet's letter-writing capability. As for Violet passing, I believe that the headmaster stated she has the full discretion of allowing who can receive her brooch. Also, I'm certain that the headmaster was awarding Violet the brooch based on her potential rather than her current capability. |
| This series feels a little rushed to me. But I'm still liking it. It has a unique perspective. Even if it doesn't always make good on that. And I like a lot of the characters. The new red head girl was super cute. And made me care about the main story of this episode. Since her brother was kind of a snore fest. I felt so bad for her when she gave her little monologue to Violet. This show hasn't blown me away with its characterization or plotting. But it's been gorgeous to look at. And I've enjoyed it enough. It's had some really resonant moments amid some more boilerplate ones. Definitely sticking with it. And hoping it goes places. |
 |
| Violet's hyper-mechanical attitude is annoying me no end, I know that's the whole point but she's still borderline unpleasant at the moment. Not sure to what extent it will change for the better, though it will. New girl was almost unrealistically sweet. Sukasuka vibes on the tower Episode was rushed. Agreeing with Gwathgor's points. More enjoyable though. |
| Finally, the Violet could write a letter with feelings!!! The plot was forced, but i cannot complain!!! |
| Hmm, bit better than previous episode and I like Luculia's character (too bad she won't be joining the crew as I found her the most likeable so far) but the story of her brother was just extremely forced melodrama, like 'cry now' exclamation for the viewers. Also, Violet only wrote what she told her, that can be barely called developement. Everything was overly romantic again and not very subtle as it should have been. Also, dunno about Cattleya and Benedict fighting but they just acted like children, and were purposefully show as would lovers. I dunno, for KyoAni, self-installed masters of clever gestures and meaningful feelings this was way too direct. Not that it would work like this IRL, it was just for sake of showing their interaction and it was weak developement. Well, the original writing probably isn't anything close to stellar but the adaptation suffers from other same flaws Kyoukai no Kanata suffered before, it highlights wrong things and most of the meaningful plot devices are overdone. It's no surprise because it shares the same (not very experienced) director and |
| Violet Everboring turned out to not be boring this time. This was the best episode so far. But graduating after writing just one good letter is stupid. |
 |
| Congrats to the MAL community for memeing this show into the top 200. I'm three episodes in and there has not been a single memorable character, moment or development in the story. If nothing improves over the next couple of episodes I diagnose the lot of you as clinically insane. |

FrozenSheep said: I quite enjoyed this episode. Slow buildup, satisfying conclusions. Amazing side characters. It's so much better than that other show... I'm slowly feeling the hype. That other show? I thought this episode was the best so far. Luculia sure is a sweet girl. I like her a lot. |
Eanraig said: Really annoyed that every episode has been very predictable so far. And Violet passing just after one decently written letter is kinda bull... Well if you had a student that had a 100% in attendance, a 100% in writing, and a 100% in typing and a 50% in actual interpretation in emotions that swung-by later with a solid A letter then I guess it makes sense. ricardocsc said: beatiful landscape, but the story is kinda boring... Well so is life sometimes. Personally I think its just different enough to keep watching but its pretty predictable as some say but then again hard not to be. |

| This episode was very nice. Despite being an excellent worker, Violet still has some trouble conveying feelings when transcribing someone's speech into a letter. Violet's new friend, Luculia, helped her understand a little more about how feeling work, and the letter she typed for Luculia's brother proved that. It's fun witnessing Violet grow emotionally as a person. |
 |
| I fucking cried wtf |
 |
| Luculia is only a side character, but even her design is top-notch. So many feels in this episode, and I can only expect more down the road as Violet grows closer to understanding emotions. She did good in this episode :) |
| I don't know man I think a Doll's got to be one of the most pointless jobs ever. I mean why hire someone to write for you when you can just learn how to write? Also what are the chances that the people who receive the letters don't know how to read themselves lol. Also I'm still waiting for this to get good cause so far it's still mediocre. |
 |
| Good episode, surprised she graduated with just that letter. Wonder if it was a special circumstance or she really learned how to convey meaning. |
 |
| Nice episode and emotional. So, this anime is episodic? |
ErnaGhoul said: Nice episode and emotional. So, this anime is episodic? Mostly episodic. But the episodic stories get better and better and the backstory kicks in from episode 5. Episodes 7-10 have been quite phenomenal. The latest episode (episode 10) has made the anime the AOTS for many both in MAL and in Japanese boards that you can see from the stats/comments. |

Just checked the post in MAL Facebook and they used the screencap from my post lol. But tbh, 90+% giving it a 5/5 is not a very solid information. What makes the percentage quite sensational is the the number of votes too. 900+ users gave the episode a 5/5.  |

| Wow the animation is the best I've ever seen. Each frame is like a painting by Monet. The characters and story are growing very slowly, but I don't mind the pace. Everything doesn't have to be thrown at you during the opening credits. Though I believe we have to see Violet go all "Super-weapon" at least once. Remember the adage if there is a gun on the wall it has to go off before the final act. |

| Such a slow and not that sad episode, and I already felt like crying there at the end xD This is gonna be sooo good. Opening is fine, but not my KyoAni favourite tbh. |
  |
| Nice episode and visuals very nice so far. Kind of slow story, but still triggered me a bit |
 |
| Well, this show once again the difficulties that Violet has in normal life, that is quite understandable... she at least got a friend from the school....tough looks like she has her own difficulties....like that brother of her.....somewhat understandable reasons for drink but being drunkard is not an answer. this series has really gathered my intrest for now....I will finish this and then decide if this deserve the 9.. |

| Violet was great. Her typing is fast and accurate. 200 wpm is insane. Though she lacks conveying the feelings in the letter she later improved. It is one small step in becoming a auto memories doll. And with that Luculia and his brother's relations improve.d. Congrats to her to becoming a 1st rate auto memories doll. |
| This episode sure touched a sensitive snare! Amazing just amazing, even now with the fantastic OP & ED I really must say that this anime is just fantastic! Really loved how Violet actually graduated, and while she might still have lots to learn about emotions, I sure am looking forwards to see what's next. |
 |
| I liked this episode. And how she used very few words to convey Luculia's feelings. It was perfect for Violet as a beginner now starting to understand how others feel-- don't overdo it. The point will still get across. Nice touch indeed. |
| I enjoyed this FAR more than the first two episodes... I nearly teared up during the climax where Violet gave the girl's brother the letter. I can't understate how gorgeous this show is. Might be the most beautiful anime I've ever watched, and even where a select few works (such as Makoto Shinkai's trash) might marginally beat it in the raw quality department, Violet Evergarden has the upper hand in atmosphere and charm. The rustic 1940s European atmosphere, including all of the accompanying gorgeous environments, architecture, and unique choice in lighting -- that can't be understated. The character designs are gorgeous too. |

| What a sweet episodes. The art is so pretty. I especially love their eyes. Still waiting to see where this goes though. Just writing letters seems a bit "boring" I'm excited to see what else happens. |

| Nice to see that Violet's directness resulted in a favorable outcome in this particular case. Wonder if they'll use her as a niche option in the meantime for when they feel that a client's situation would be better with a direct approach vs a flowery and soft approach. Not sure if I agree with Violet graduating just due to that letter though. She still isn't able to uncover and properly articulate the more complex emotions that clients come to the company with, and she really only wrote down what Luculia told her. While sometimes, being direct and straightforward can be what is needed for the situation, this seems to be contrary to why they sent her to the school in the first place. But then again, with elite marks in all other areas, if her approach can help some out there, then that's ultimately fulfilling the duties of her job. That being said, it was sweet how she was able to tell Spencer what Luculia didn't have courage to tell herself. |

| Luculia really shined here and very interesting to see how Violet is viewed but I want more of her inner depths revealed; I know it's episode 3, I'm just waiting. I do think stuff is a little sped up for convince and the issue of Luculia brother and family is a little one note. But overall I feel like emotion really shined here. |

| Nice episode, love Luculia. |

| Wow. It's such a good show. Every episode has struck my heart somehow. Beautiful. |
| Wow, Luculia is hot. :) I hope she becomes a main. |

| The saying goes that the pen is mightier than the sword. This series showcases the power of words. Words are powerful, beautiful, enigmatic things. They have the all consuming power to destroy. To take life. To bring joy. And to give life. Words are how we as individual humans can connect with one another and reach across distance and time to connect with one another. To warn. And in some cases, share a feeling whose meaning can be up to interpretation by anyone. This series has taken that concept and ran with it. It is showcasing the beauty and tragedy of language and words. I do not have the capability to fully describe the feelings I have from watching this show. It is incredible. I didn't think a show could make me feel such deep sorrow and such intense joy at the same time. This series is beautiful. Both in composition, script, and visually. |
| so far, this anime is hitting a feeling or nerve that i cant express. the certain way it communicates how hard it is to decipher words or emotions like that, really hits. enjoying it so far. |
| Finally, both the OP and ED is here. The OP is nice and the ED is decent in terms of my personal preference on the song itself, however, it's really relaxing. But both are equally impressive visually. A perfect grammar and vocabulary score is nothing without creative righting to write a letter. This episode teaches Violet just that. Seeing how Luculia wanted to tell her brother so much to how she's glad that he's still alive allows Violet to finally write a letter that conveys Lulucia's feelings to her brother, even though it's short. Nice small character development for Violet, and wow this short letter alone allows her to pass and graduate from this academy. |
