| This was a great episode. At first I was annoyed because I thought they were gonna shaft what happened at the end of episode 5 again like they did last episode but I'm glad they finally put it to good use with Violet's crisis at the train as she questions her worth as a Doll touching people's lives while she took the lives of other people. Violet influencing people's lives and learning something new from them as well. It looks like she has almost fully come to terms with her emotions this episode and then we get a new development at the end with Violet learning of the major's death. Really great episode. |
 |
| This is the first episode that made me tear up a little. And we finally got some good character development! Not to mention the great visuals and OST. I may not be a fan of slice-of-life in general, but this is some quality stuff right there. |
| Best episode yet. That flashback of the playwright's daughter had me reliving some After Story trauma. As Violet learned early on, it's absolutely incredible how stories that aren't real can make us feel like we're really a part of them. |
 |
| Yup, this episode is just as great and powerful as that of my first watch! One heck of a ride, too, with one after the other! Violet’s growth is so genuine and well-developed, and this episode took full advantage of that to turn the tides for a bit. Looks like she’s burning now, indeed. “I’m not burning. I’m burning. I’m not burning. I Am Burning!” - Some excellent VA to get the change across, mad props to Ishikawa Yui! And now she bumps into the truth, yikes. I suppose this just goes to show that when life is against you, oh boy does it pull off nasty trick after the other. Touching story between father and daughter here too! Violet showing concern and interest was a really nice addition too, she’s really come a long way from being an actual ‘doll’. Impeccable animation plus music during the ‘flying’ scene though, it’s just so bloody glorious! Coupled with the intricate buildup and the memories of the young daughter, god that was some good sobbing from my part again. Easily one of my most favourite episodes of all of anime and going through this over again was really amazing! Last but not least, #PrayForKyoAni. |

| That was a really touching episode |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| What the hell happened to the daughter? You saw her with the dad but she looked older than he looked. Wtf happened to her? |
 |
| I m a major sucker for this kind of story, I was for Clannad AS too. My favorite episode is still ep5 but this must be the second best for me. His daughter seems to have died with something akin to cancer... FUCK CANCER! Hope he manages to move forward after his encounter with Violet, he really needed to let it all out. You just can't deal with these kinds of feelings in another way, you need to face them and turn them in the happiest possible memories for you, the fuel that keeps you living. I want to believe that dad will become that kind of man. Also, the truth is out for Violet, but this truth cames with questions itself, I was sure they knew he was dead, not sure any longer. |
 |
| This was the best episode so far, I actually managed to make me tear up. The father's backstory was really sad with losing both his wife and daughter to the illness. And we can actually see Violet's growth in this episode. The lake scene was beautiful, glad they kept it realistic by her falling into it. Violet's breakdown in the train realising the consequences of her actions in the war was very powerful. And she finally learns about the Major too. |
  I want to know what it is, this 'sin' they say I've committed. |
| Oscar's design reminded me of Kitauji's band advisor. Violet is such a queen! I really hope Gilbert is still alive 🙏 |
  |
| Wow I didn't expect her to even begin walking on water. |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| A great episode, seriously great. I actually feel proud as Violet EverGarden of Avalon learns to understand human emotions through interactions with different kinds of people. The second half was sad and damn beautiful, especially Violet jumping over the lake. Also I kinda expected Violet to look even more freaked out about Gilbert, yet now I feel terrible even after seeing her actual reaction......... NO I'M. NOT. CRYING. YOU ARE CRYING! |
[right]=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=  |
| So Major Gilbert’s body were never found but I doubt that he’s alive. Poor Violet, when she’s slowly discovering her emotions she were face by the truth about Major Gilbert. I hope there will be more about Violet’s past on the next few episodes. |
| That pond scene was rich and beautiful. |
   |
| So finally she learned what are emotions and how they feel. She really is like some AI robot doll learning how do humans behave/work. I think it is impossible for a real person to be like her even with the life that she had. The author really thought about this story... it's nice Until seeing that she learned the truth at the end of this ep I was hoping that every little thing that she lived and learned was making her closer to understand that she also loved Major.. and maybe she just did, but I was hoping for a less painful situation when she realizes her and his love after at the same realizing that she is in love with someone new to her. |
| (づ￣ ³￣)づ ちゅっ ちゅっ キス (´｡✪ω✪｡｀) I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;) |
| That empty card at the end was exquisitely painful. Of course Gilbert's status would be dropped so casually like that- especially when she's at her lowest. I don't know if I was a fan if her just telling the audience she was going through a breakdown. She's always been incredibly direct, but it felt like I was being told her condition rather than shown it. Also, I'm sure this has been addressed on here already, but I'm surprised an author needs an Auto Memory Doll, especially given she was simply transcribing for him, not writing anything herself. |
 |
| What a heartbreaking episode....I was crying when Violet was crossing the lake with the flashbacks of his child since she was born. It was so sad. So sorrowful.......a dad’s simple’s wish for his precious daughter.....sadly she wasn’t able to grow up, but Violet brought him the peace he sought for. |
 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 |
| One of my favorite episodes so far. This was beautifully adapted. |
| What a powerful episode. The story of the father and daughter really pulled my heartstrings and seeing Violet fulfill a moment for that father gave me so much joy. On the other hand, I love that she's experiencing other aspects of emotions now even if it's painful and it feels like fire. |
| desu desu binches |
| The feels...I cried, beautiful adaption |
 |
Mom, brother, how hard this episode is, Violet starts to feel emotional too, but even when she found out about the Major, it was really sad. Usi However, he was just trying to help her so as not to be hurt by it. |
| Favorite episode so far, the pond scene made my heart wrench, to lose both your wife and daughter, left alone with nothing but their memories, such a beautiful scene and episode. |
 |
| Sorry, did I miss whatever was the problem with Olivia? Weird. On the one hand, the story of this episode was incredible; on the other, though, I felt that some of Violet's emotions were a little bit rushed (e.g., the weight of her actions had never really been explored all that much previously). |

"Molly Ringwald" out right now - check my Linktree!  |
| The animation was amazing Violet reenacting what the writer’s daughter would have wanted to do was a great moment |
 |
| It's nice seeing Auto Memory Dolls having work other than just sending letters. They're technically scribes, so it makes sense that their skills can translate to other contexts, such as transcribing old documents or working for playwrights. For Violet, it also gives her more things to do and people to see. I think this is the most amount of emotions that Violet has expressed so far in the series. Although, because of that, it makes her claims of not understanding emotions all the more awkward. Though, it might be because it wasn't until this episode where she really started to act differently. She's emotionally invested in Oscar's stories, she's experiencing war-related trauma, and she's devastated over Gilbert's apparent death. On that second bit, I didn't really expect the show to go the direction of Violet struggling over the lives she's taken, although it makes sense. With her work as an Auto Memory Doll, she's gotten increasingly emotionally invested in peoples' lives, learning about everybody's past experiences and future ambitions. However, in reflecting on the people she killed, Violet realizes how many stories she's ended, as well as how many living relatives she's hurt. She's learnt how to sympathize and empathize, and as a result, she's only just realized the impact of her actions. It makes me wonder if she could fight as a soldier anymore, given her newfound awareness of others and herself. Anyways, for the anime itself, it really is a pretty show. Violet's leap into the lake looked really good. |
| buen plot twist el del final |
I'm not a critic or anything like that but I like to give my opinion |
| This episode was very beatifully made. I was dubious until then about the direction the anime seemed to take. I thought it would be annoyingly episodic but this episode proved me wrong (I now have hope for the next episodes) |
  |
| This is such a high quality show. Loved the jump with the umbrella. I like Violet's voice actress a lot. |
