<Click> the image to see with filtered version.
In my honest opinion, the filtered version looks way better and more natural within the context of the show. Removing the filter makes everything look overly saturated. The warm, softer tones of the filter help give the scenes a more intimate and inviting feel. In the unfiltered version, Violet's striking blue eyes seem more artificial than uniquely human. I think the aesthetic would work quite well in a more visually stylized anime, but definitely not for a grounded show like Violet Evergarden.

Heh. Looks like Violet is being a little more considerate now. And she's feeling it!

Oh look. A chipped tooth. You don't see that very often...


Hmm...well the conclusion to Olive's story was told in the flashback, so no surprise there. But...


Good thing they kept it realistic and made her sink into the lake. Violet's a soldier, not a ninja...

We finally get to see another Evergarden after 5 episodes. I was wondering when one was going to show up. And she gives Violet the news. Violet is beginning to feel now, but this development feels...unnatural. I'm not feeling it. But now that Violet has learned the truth, perhaps the future episodes will take the time to pace her development better so that the outcome can be that much stronger.

WOAH. Anime episode of the season? This one alone stole away Sora's #1 AOTS spot for me. Simply incredible emotion and animation, that lake scene had movie level production value. And Violet... my god, the breakthroughs she's having. 10/10

Every time an episode airs it makes me feel nauseous and burning to the point that I feel like this show is really unfair to its audience with that damn good level of animation and the story presentation that it intricates the music on the scenarios so well that it feels like cheating.
Really this episode has to be the best till date. How cannot it be? It expresses the realization of a lost cause father to accept the loneliness and the despair of having left behind from his wanting to fulfill his daughters wish. Truly amazing, I don't care what the novel readers say about the show not capturing the essence of the script as a whole but it really does showcase the value of the writers treasure.
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because.

Great episode. Still felt a bit rushed tho, not that they can help it.

I almost teared up there. The music always got me. And the visual is just as great. Just looking at their faces, the feels kept rushing through me.

It's quite shocking that

Possibly the best episode of the series so far for me. Violet's interactions with the author started off normally, but the feels came into force after learning about how the poor guy lost both his wife and daughter to illness that couldn't be cured and is now drinking a lot of alcohol to cope with the stress of being alone, unable to complete his story by himself. It was powerful enough to make Violet shed tears of sadness, which surprised me.

And, of course, the lake scene was simply gorgeous to watch. Not only on an emotional level, but the animation for Violet's jump was movie quality. It was that excellent. At least they kept it realistic as she sank into the lake, despite the epic jump though. =P

Afterwards, she had a PTSD moment on the ship heading back home, reflecting on words that are coming back to haunt her, but the revelation came when she met the Evergarden couple again and learning about Gilbert. Part of me thinks that he's dead, but even if he is alive, after suffering from the injuries he had, it'll be hard to believe realistically on his survival after what happened.

So I hope that the second half of the series takes this momentum of this episode and continues to impress me. =)

I'll be honest, not my favorite episode, but still good overall. Before you bring out the torches and pitchforks, let me explain.

First things first, I'll state the obvious, this show's visual presentation, imo, has only gotten better and better with each episode, and this episode was no exception. That one scene with Violet leaping over the pond for Oliver was both touching and visually breathtaking. The incredible stereoscopic shot, the water animation, and the overall emotion packed into that scene combined with the perfectly suited soundtrack made my jaw drop. It could possibly be one of the most stimulating/dynamic shots out of any anime that I have seen, and I say that without exaggeration.

However, one incredible moment in the episode does not account for how a lot of this episode's drama just fell flat for me. Don't get me wrong, I did feel quite emotional at parts, but parts of it felt a little...forced. This is the first time I have felt this while watching this show, and I am honestly quite surprised. Every other episode handled its drama extremely well. I felt the main reason why the drama didn't strike the right chords for me was because of just how rushed Oliver's story was adapted. It felt more of a plot device to further Violet's character than actually giving us some more insight to Oliver and his past relationship/trauma with her daughter. The ending for his arc also felt super abrupt, and certain parts felt distinctly ham-fisted to squeeze as much stuff in.

I believe Oliver could have been very intriguing character with a compelling backstory that could've been explored to a greater extent to make him seem more rounded, and he deserved at least one whole episode to himself (without the OP and ED cutting the runtime). I mean seriously. This episode barely had 16 minutes to tell the entirety of his story, and it just felt like wasted potential imo. We literally learned NOTHING about the type of person Olivia (Oliver's daughter) was like other than very brief flashbacks. I also felt a lot of Oliver's character development and details of his backstory/current life were left out or cut short, so we are left with little to sympathize with other than the surface level: oh this guy's daughter died, so now he is depressed and an alcholic. Let's feel sorry for him :'(

They could've spent all 23 minutes of the episode runtime dedicated to Oliver's arc, and then spend the beginning of the next episode exploring Violet's development deeper and her reflection on her past of murder in the war. I just don't understand why they had to force that whole "big reveal" in the end of the episode just to end with a cliffhanger. It just felt wrong, as now there are so many new plot threads left hanging without resolution, making the episode feel ultimately unsatisfying.

One thing I can praise this show for is for gradually showing us Violet's development as a character from an emotionless weapon of war to someone actually capable of showing emotions like smiling/crying and impacting other's lives in a positive way. This episode showcases the important development of all: Violet being able to reflect on her own actions and admitting to her wrongdoings. The scene where she broke down after realizing that the the act of mindlessly killing the soldiers in war "prevented them from keeping promises of their own" was such a great character moment for her, and I can't help but feel proud of how far she has come.

tldr; presentation was phenomenal, but that doesn't not make up for the drama feeling forced and even a little undeserved. Oliver get a short end of the stick for his story, and deserved better. Overall, the pacing, especially towards the end, was rushed and unsatisfying.

Still looking forward to the next episode.


That's the thing that makes me uneasy since episode 1 when I realize that they're taking a different route from the novel. In the novel, it's like a collection of short stories, while seeing Violet progresses as a person. But this adaptation focuses more on Violet. I think that's why they decided to use Oliver as a stepping stone to further progress Violet's character. If it's not for the great visual and music, I don't think I'll get emotional at all. After all, we don't even know how deep Oliver's grief is, the reason for his alcoholism and things like that. Imo, they're important. But overall, they at least pull this episode off great and perfectly fit original and novel content together.

Let me be frank. I'm not 100% satisfied with this episode. The only thing that got me pushed into Violet Evergarden was simply Oscar's arc. But, damn. It was really rushed just like the last episode. I didn't even felt so much sympathy for Oscar. In the novel, I was nearly into tears. I also agree that it should have been dedicated into a single episode.

Damn, such a disappointment. Really.

But in the end, there's nothing I can do. Anyways, the follow-up looks like a compensation for my high expectations. I felt pity for Violet. Even though she is now a famous Auto Memories Doll, she's still hoping to see Gilbert once again.

Another thing, KyoAni still has no answers for the fake cliffhanger ehh? They left us on hold. I was also expecting the follow-up in this episode.

Easily my favourite episode, so far.

Violet is almost fully human, there's still the odd thing she didn't understand, like how the writer was feeling, but I guess he hadn't actually told her his story yet and she still occasionally slips into army speak. However she is invested in the play they're writing, sympathises when he tells her his story, understands what the Majors brother was talking about when he confronted her, is sorry about the way she was with the Evergardens and gets angry when she finds out about the Major.

Of course it's as pretty as ever as well, but one excellent episode does not come close to making it my AOTS. Especially when APFTTU has been consistently great/excellent every episode. If it keeps it up though it might get into my top 5.

My favourite episode so far.

I'm glad for the last segment showing Violet's own revelation of guilt + reaction to the Gilbert rumour - it added a lot of substance to the series.

The short story format for each episode honestly made the plot line feel really hollow; it's difficult to empathise with a character who lasts for one episode.

I cried more while reading the novel than while watching the anime, Oscar's feelings didn't get to me as much as it did while reading, the episode was kinda rushed, i wonder what chapter they'll adapt next, probably the 5th one since it mentions Oscar.

This episode was visually appealing as always but by far I felt that it's the best so far in my opinion.
The jump across the lake was well conducted and I couldn't ask for any better, I couldn't fully sympathise with Oliver just because I was personally astounded by Violet's action and growth. Talking about Violet's growth I'm glad that she is able to reflect on herself about her past comments about being on 'fire', and her shedding tears as well when she found out about Oliver.

I just watched episode 7 and I am tearing up just like each episode. With her emotions coming out she is finally understanding the horrors of what she did during the war, not only that but she also got the news of Gilbert's death. I think the next episode is going to be about how Violet is going to come to terms with the fact he is not coming back.

amazing episode, honestly this was a very emotional episode and executed to perfection. I went into Violet Evergarden without any expectations and that's maybe why I've come to enjoy it a lot more than people who had high expectations.

I love the episodic nature of this series, while it still keeps violet's character progression intact. She's come such a long way from episode 1, and while this is very standard character development over the course of 7 episodes it's still very well done.

So after finishing the novel a few days ago,


The anime original parts were really nice and I think the anime version of Violet really needed that as the anime focusses a lot more on Violet than the novel does.

It may sound strange but now that I have read the novel, the anime became a lot more enjoyable than it was already.

This episode was amazing, usually emotion is a thing you gradually learn so seeing violet like this is indescribable 'cause the emotions just flood in time to time and sometimes she fails to comprehend the various emotions, but when she does understand it seems as though it overwhelmed her... An' 'cause of that I can really empathise with her.


"MY GOD," these tears shouldn't be allowed to fall; you can really see her growing (in terms of her emotions)


Well, this -i assumed- was already being foreshadowed by that fact that she was exploring loss of life in a non-war theme with the aspects of bonds between people and relations weighing in on their response; I realised from this that Gilbert's death would be revealed shortly after this scene.
But I didn't expect it to be revealed in this manner... That was sad beyond compare

P.S. the refined point of foreshadowing though, was at the start... There was no episode title (unless I was overly conscious because of Hodgkin's words at the start concerning the major and there isn't an episode title anyway -musta been scrutinising every little detail)

This episode was extremely powerful. There was incredible character development for her already in this episode from the get go. She was showing a remarkably compassionate side to her compared to her stoic personality at the start of the anime. Small things like saying that she would eat later instead of she can go on without eating, from hiding the drinks and then coming to terms that she was burning up on the insides were magnificently captured.

She didn't act like a soulless person and for once, she wasn't behaving like a robot for the first time yet for her to learn about Gilbert's demise from Mrs. Evergarden at the end of the episode, confronting Claudia for keeping it hidden from her and the completely denying the fact; I was not prepared for all these. And I was already heartbroken with the extremely sad story of this episode. T_T

5/5
yess this definitely brought the heatt didnt expect her to find out about gilbert until closer to the end but who knew it would slip out of the lady's mouth at that moment , besides that the story beforehand with the author and his daughter was captivated soo lovely enjoyed it all the way through

I was a bit worried from the last episode that they might just rush chapters from the novel, but this one was really well done.

Watching Violet crying was quite emotional, I don't remember that in the novel but considering we're half-way through the series they've fitted this well.

Looks like they cut out the scene where Oscar walks in on Violet naked. I think that was a good decision. Don't get me wrong I love my fanservice, but that scene felt so out of place in the novel and would feel even more out of place in this episode.


I'm guessing they didn't include Violet's shower scene as it may affect the serious mood a bit.

SalmonSandwich said:
Yes more episode like this where they adapt this to fit their vision of the story then last episode where it felt like an abridged version.

Really interesting decision to have both Violet and the writers emotional stage rolled back for the anime adaptation. They basically changed a narrative suited for an introduction episode to a mid season episode without any awkward adaptation transitions.
Where Violet was past her initial PTSD/grief phase and the writer with his alcoholism in the novel, in the anime it portrayed them right before that specific emotional stage of their lives which provided a more interesting perspective to the narrative.

Violet learning grief and loss after empathizing with the writer's past and then learning of Gilbert's fate serves as a better use of the original source material since the source only served as an introduction to Violet in the novel, where as now it serves as an excellent supplementary story to Violet's emotional journey.

For novel readers




Yeah they changed the story so she isn't wearing the dress in the adaptation since originally in the novel the dress served to make a tasteless "anime girl is nude while changing joke!" after she gets wet and had to change clothes at the end of the 1st chapter (I know it also served to further emphasize Violet looking more like the deceased daughter, and to add a funny joke about Violet not being a robot in the novel but it really isn't needed at this point in the story.)






I think it was quite nicely depicted in the words of the writer.

"No matter how difficult the adventure may be, it must have a happy ending. Both the protagonist and the audience deserve to be happy. No, I'll make sure they are."

I think that's the same for Violet, she's such a loveable character. She deserves to be happy and so do we. I guess if Violet and Gilbert reunite, it won't be an easy "welcome back" or "finally I get to see you again", but actually, I'm not sure about that part because of the announced length of this anime series. So maybe we will get such a happy end?

Anyway, I'm looking forward to further episodes and to reading the novel as well.

Truly conflict potential. There are so many people around Violet who know aka are being told that Gilbert is dead, but no one told Violet about it. Is'nt she the one who cares the most about him? That's unfair, but I can relate to Hodgins. Still, it doesn't feel right.

Great to hear that from you. I'm still hesititating if I should start to read the novel or wait until the anime series come to its end. Glad to hear that there are people who are able to enjoy it more after reading it. Though, I think I will wait a little while longer.


I'm quite happy that they didn't include the mentioned fanservice scene because the topic around is not funny at all. The problem of alcoholism is way worse than depicted and I highly doubt that if he were to be addicted that he would give in that easily. To be in sorrow and to be addicted is quite the difference and as it was not entioned that he was an addict, the story has been told very well.

Last but not least, I think the scene with Miss Evergarden was painful. No, I don't impute that she had bad intent while speaking to Violet. No, I don't. But sometimes people say things and hurt others, without being aware, out of a feeling of being hurt themselves. Right? RIGHT?

This scene might actually be a turning point to the relationship between Miss Evergarden and Violet, they hurt each other. Now, they can forgive each other after they share one's sorrow. Though if that actually happens, I would be surprised if that were to be in the next episode.

To be honest, the reason why I read the novel midway through the anime was because I was just impatient, and after seeing Leon's episode and hearing that it wasn't anime original, I wanted to see how different both versions were.

On the one hand, I'd wait a bit longer because the anime has started with the dead Gilbert stuff and who knows how the anime will handle it from now on, but on the other hand, it's still perfectly fine to read the 1st volume because it's mainly about Violet's adventures. In the end, it's your decision but it's great that you want to read the novel to begin with :)

One of the best episodes so far.

I'm seriously surprised by Violet's growth. She was really blunt in the first episode. I love it how she gets more and more human-like by each episode. I'd say she's above average in emotional-intelligence already.

I wasn't expecting that reveal from the old Evergarden, but I'm glad it finally happened. So, apparently he might be alive. We all know that it has a really high chance that missing people in anime - or any kind of stories -, turn out to be alive.

If I had to guess, I'd say Gilbert had grown so fond of her, that he decided to give a chance to Violet for a better life. If he's alive, he is still working at the military. Maybe another war's still coming up, or it is just his duty, to stay at the military. Otherwise he would try to live together with Violet, and teaching her to live without the need to act like a soldier.

I don't know how the novel ends, but I hope it's going to be satisfying, even if they don't follow the same route.

I didn't mean way too dazzling as a necessary compliment per se. I love the way the anime as is. This anime has exceptional production value. They can easily release it in the theatres with bundling few episodes together and make more money out of it. That's how good it is. There's not a single better anime airing at this moment that has higher production value than VE.

I agree! This episode is the best so far for me, even with the changes it sticks with the novel content. I almost cried during some scene (when Oscar tells his story, when he remembers the time he spent with his daughter...). I love how they stick to the novel for the backgrounds (a city near the mountains, fall season with beautiful colors...). It was beautiful and the animation was gorgeous when Violet leaps on the water.

I don't think Violet was crying in the novel, but indeed, it fits to the anime content.

I'm glad they didn't show the scene where Oscar sees naked Violet because although if it wasn't some form of fan service in the novel, it was kinda awkward, and funny because of Oscar's reaction. But here in the anime we already know that Violet is human and not a robot-doll so it would only ruin the mood.

Oh god, this is definitely one of VE episodes I would rewatch if I wanted to.

The huge character development of Violet from Episode 01 to 07 definitely shows up through her actions (those emotions, damn son). That revelation at the end though.

And after weeks of impatiently waiting... Finally we get to see the true potential of Violet Evergarden.

This time we are situated brilliantly in a decadent atmosphere: the father's house, where the weather has made an impact and there are only the cracks of what at the time was a happy place; Across the flats, on the outskirts of the house we can see the neglected place since her daughter passed away (plants growing everywhere). In the interior, a brutal contrast, darkness and total disorder. A man completely off, physically weak, whose personality and memory are fuzzy because of his addiction to alcohol. Violet, meanwhile, unconsciously acts as a vector memory'.

All this gives rise to a moving stage, with careful reminiscence and formidable timing.

Honestly, this is the only episode that feels transcendental, not only for the well executed paternal story... also because Violet is trully involved and takes the initiative to meet the penalty of the poor man, showing progress in her personality, slowly built in previous episodes.

At the end of the episode the haunting atmosphere is broken abruptly with the dialogue between Lady and Violet. It conveys the same thing in episode 1, similar flashbacks depicting situations and very specific statics of the general and Violet with their injuries(Im still fascinated on how well done they are). Episode ends with the desperation of Violet and a very successful 'no title ' that translates brilliantly the powerful essence of the episode.

In terms of art, not much to say, visually appealing, both the static and the motion (thanks to a great camera direction and sense of aesthetic), colorful backgrounds (trees on the lake) and nice soundtrack. This was exactly what I expected since the announcement of Violet Evergarden. that water tho

More than satisfied: 5/5 way to go

All I can say that the hate for KyotoAnimation in the west is real. Unfortunately for the haters, they had 9 titles in the 100 Best Anime of 100 years of anime poll according to fans in Japan. That's an incredible number of titles there given Japan has hundreds of studios and produces so many anime every year and KyotoAnimation only produced 35 titles at the moment of the polls (a whopping 25% of their titles got into that list).

The west just hates the fact that KyotoAnimation is more successful than MADHOUSE, BONES, TRIGGER (formerly GAINAX) and Production I.G, four studios they love a lot. The only studio that had more titles than KyotoAnimation was Sunrise Inc. in that poll. Given how huge Sunrise Inc. having produced 100s of anime, that just shows how KyotoAnimation is loved overall in Japan.

This anime failed to fulfill expectations I had for it but it still looks pretty, has nice music and stories, even if they last only 1 ep, can still make me cry so if they won't change anything and later show Gilbert, I'll be quite happy with it.
I'm watching anime since 2012. I also play games, sometimes.

Don't bother me if you want to 'become friends' or things like that.
It's tiresome. I know you just want to collect some meaningless numbers.
Thought: How many people sparked H. Charlotta just for blue pot?

EASILY the best episode. The scene where Violet leaps across the lake and the writer remembers about his daughter made me cry

That was definitely if not the best episode of this show, man that jumping and that beautiful house over the lake was so damn good yet so sad.

Poor Violet now the truth is out she will feel what true sadness is, and talking of sadness that burning up scene was also really damn good.

Heartfelt episode, the writer broken after his families deaths but violet cheers him up.
Violet finally learning that gilbert is dead, but his body wasn't found so he might still be alive.

Absolutely gorgeous episode. The story was very touching, and I like the directors choice of having Violet learn about the Major right after having experienced someone else's grief first hand. Violets's been growing as a person by essentially being a side character to the stories of the other characters she's been interacting with each episode up until now. I'm excited to see how this will go with her problems at the center.

So Violets next client is an author who is quite the handful, watching this, I find it rather amusing how he is talking to Violet as if she is his personal maid, I mean I know she cleaned and all but...dude. gawd hahahaha, its also rather amusing to see Violet cook for the first time.

Violet is really in to the story he is cooking up for his next work. Its actually pretty cute if you ask me.

Seeing Violet cry makes me sad. Awhhh, I think she definately could relate to the author because of Major and not seeong him for a long period of time. I can definately see her relating to him on that level.

The animation on Violet running across the river......breathtaking!!!!!!

The ending. Oh my gosh, thatw as heavy with emotion, its nice to see Violet showing emotion, such heavy emotions too!

Another great episode! Can't wait to see whay happens next!

Madhouse and Kyoani are the two studios that managed to have very high quality.
Bones and Sunrise are probably second tier.
