| I really enjoyed the part with Luculia and her brother^^ I also liked how Violet's first proper letter turned out even tho she basically just wrote what Luculia told her. It's a nice start (just like someone already said 'baby steps') keeping in mind how very literal she is. I can't wait to see more! |
| what a beautiful ep . I think this is better than the last ep . and I love the side story too . |

| oh my goodness finally we have an opening/ending and its gorgeous!!!!!!! |
| Beautiful episode! It's slowly building momentum, as any great story would. KyoAni has superb scenic visuals. Really looking forward to the next episode. |
| That letter almost made me cry... These first episodes are being entertaining but we need more development on Violet |
Loop_Stratos said: OP song is nice, visuals not so much. The fact that Violet passed with a single two sentence letter felt like a slap in the face. Especially as it seemed like the school demanded excellence. Still, better than the last two episodes. "Onii chan... Glad you're alive... Imoto..." boom, graduate. I wish my dissertation is this easy. |
Cross  AngeHey guys check my profile for current airing season anime recommendation (guaranteed best taste) |
| finally! a good episode with an improved pacing... the sound tracks were amazing as always... and the Opening is somewhat catchy.. i really find the opening visuals similar to tokyo ghoul opening... . . also the scene of the brother reading the letter thay violet wrote (typed) literally made me cry! i for once give this ep 10/10!! |
| This girl always is a surprise!!! kekeke |
| The writing is really good and this episode elevated the story as a whole, I like it. My only complaint is the way it was delivered kinda dry. Especially after episode 2 which was directed and storyboarded by Haruka Fujita. Her episode really set the bar a bit too high, not saying Noriyuki Kitanohara's episode was awful. There are few good transition shots and scenes at the clock tower, but I think the direction and storyboard could be better in telling the narratives through visual mediums. I expect Fujita will come back with more goodness so I won't drop this show yet... |
| time to drop this show. Even when i dont like a show or think its utter shit, i can usually see how it could appeal to someone. Cant say the same about this show. Nothing happens, characters are boring, no story whatsoever. Only positive thing is the art and animation. |
Joe_Baker said: Anyone that can type 130WPM or even higher? That is incredibly fast if you ask me. That 200CPM as an entry level seems a bit low though. My record was 137 WPM with few errors, but I could achieve that speed only once. Whenever I try(I don't often do this measuring), It's always between 100-120, rarely around 125. Maybe once I should try with mechanical keyboards, maybe it's faster. 200 CPM does seem low a bit, but using typewriters, you can't hit backspace if you make an error, so I guess it's really decent for a start. As a Doll, you would probably spend more time thinking what you want to write anyways. -- When I saw the trailer a few years ago, I was expecting it to have top-notch animation. The opening's animation feels super lazy, in the episodes the lights seem somehow too bright, does not seem pleasant. I'm not saying it's horrible, but I was expecting the visuals to be so much better. Then again, in the trailers it looked like it was about Violet actually fighting, and such, and it turned out to be completely different. In this case the trailer wasn't the true color of the anime. The soundtrack is still very nice, though. That letter Violet wrote to the other girl's brother seemed really fitting with her character. She's not able to express complex feels, in a complex way, but somehow managed to put it plain and simple. The nice thing is, that it's true; Sometimes it's just better saying it simple. The teacher accepted that 2-3 long letter, even though it wasn't written in front of her. I wish it worked like that in real life too. |
| Violet is getting there little by little :) Glad she could make a proper letter in the end ^^ I have a feeling that this was not the best episode so far, but I hope it gets better in a few more episodes :) |

CatSoul said: How was Violet able to earn her certificate after writing a three-sentence letter? The girl's obviously still going to have trouble with anything longer/more complicated or vague. I felt bad for the Wendy's girl Luculia though. She came home all excited to make her thicc brother a nice dinner and he'd fallen asleep with some bread, part of a tomato, and a bottle of booze. Listening to the language in the way Luculia spoke about Violet at the end ("Violet was blah blah blah...")...shit, is she already dead? The teacher clearly said: "A first-rate Doll should understand the words the client is speaking and take from them the feelings they truly wish to express." You have just taken that first step. So she still has a lot to improve on. But as for the timing when she gave the badge, I do agree that if she had written more letters it would've been more understandable. Also, we were shown that Violet got perfect scores in Vocabulary, Grammar, and that she is a very fast typer as well, and that was in front of the teacher. So she would've known that she is a very good student and only needed some evidence to show that she could convey feelings in her letters. |

| Another great episode. As someone that has never read the Light Novel, I though this was good. Kyoani always changes around whatever they adapt, so it's weird to see all this bitching. |
| :3 |
| Luculia best grill. That is all. |
 |
| I'm disappointed with OP song. It's just bland. At least ED is nice. But about this episode, simply beautiful. 5/5 |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| Amazing OST! Violet is finally able to understand the feelings. |
 |
| This episode was going really well until Violet passed her class just for writing two sentences. |
 |
| Like the show, Feels fresh and new and not typical fast ploted. Sometimes slow is nice and good. |
| What a lovely episode. Violet finally took her first step in understanding human connection. |
My thought of the anime remains the same. Absolutely beautiful! I am now thinking Violet is probably one of the most huggable characters ever! Still the best new anime of the season by a long shot for me. Episode 1 did an introduction, episode 2 gave the setting of the world the characters are in and the idea of dolls, which is the premise of the story and episode 3 gave us the platform to move forward. The whole setup was incredible all the way to the final moment when Violet got her certification on Luculia's recommendation! Luculia being the top of the class helped because she was unable to express her own feelings which Violet wrote down for her! It was so simple yet she couldn't tell it to her brother. This episode itself would pass as an excellent short movie. The art, the animation, the background music, the attention to details, the storytelling, the buildup and the conclusion, it felt like a high end anime movie! 5/5 |

Major_Gilbert said: So far, maybe aside from the first episode, the anime has gone its own way. I expected this to some extent, but with the number of episodes left this is not the time to leave the crucial plot behind. I know that this is to fill what the novel didn't concentrate on (Violet's path towards becoming an Auto-memories doll) but now they just don't have enough episodes to cover all of her adventures. Well they may be able to get rid of one which didn't look that important to me, but still, if in the next episode they don't start with her adventure it's going to get pretty worrying. Her adventures are the main part of the story and probably the most important. I really wanted to see Violet's first adventure... Also Luculia was a good character compared to Erica and Iris imo. Nice OP btw. As a fellow novel reader, I agree. When I watched the first episode, it kind of worries me on what path this anime will take. What drawn me into Violet Evergarden is not Violet herself but her adventures and interactions. I liked Violet after that. With this episode they seem to be getting back on track but it looks like they're going to have original stories. Not that I don't mind but I love the novel so I'm hoping that they'll do it justice. |

| Ugh. This show ain't worth my time anymore. It just bores the fuck outta me. Dropped. 4/10 /EDIT/ Alright, instead of dropping this anime in this episode, imma give it a chance then if it's still awful as fuck in the next episode, then fuck this show. |

| I must have no soul, I didn't cry at Violet delivering that letter to her classmate's brother. Don't get me wrong, it was a moving enough scene, but honestly not a tear jerking moment for me. That being said I didn't find this a particularly bad episode. It had very sweet moments and told a decent overall story. However, I did find the ending where Violet has her little graduation "ceremony" a little cheesy and hokey. It came across as too childish when this anime seems to be going for serious... and I mean I get that Violet is learning humanity and all that jazz, but it just seemed like some kind of kindergarten graduation scenario and it took me completely out of the serious and touching mood they had developed a few moments before. I'd say from watching all the episodes that have been released this is sitting at about a 5-6/10 for me right now. |
| Perfect marks on the 1st day of school, very impressive. I don't know whether to laugh or cry when she says mission, it's funny how military punctual she is but also sad because it's all she knows. Seems she is making a new friend this episode, Luculia has her own problems though, I had a feeling her parents were deceased. Hopefully that letter gets through to her brother and he start getting cleaned up and his life back on track. Way to go violet, you graduated, that was a great moment. |

| I'm a little disappointed at this because I thought the Doll school plot would be... at least longer than an episode? I thought we'd finally get a throughout look at what being a Doll is like, and I'm pretty sure someone had said that that school was like superhard and severe but I didn't get that AT ALL. It was like "here's half a class, kinda, let's skip through and just graduate everyone". Also considering that Violet is like a class A soldier, I was expecting that she'd struggle in school because it'd be so completely different from her whole life experience so far. So like yeah this episode was ok, really liked Luculia though now I don't know if she'll appear again. Idk. It's like they're rushing through without much development. |

| Yea yea yea this not holding my interest in the slightest. dropped |
| At last, we get to hear the OP song, along with its animation. True did a really nice job here, although there song for Sound! Euphonium S2 still remains my favourite from them. As for the ED song, it was used much more appropriately compared to the last episode and I do like it. I've always liked the vocals from Minori Chihara and this song was very calm and peaceful if you ask me. =) This episode itself is the best so far. Although Violet's typing speed and accuracy with the letter are flawless, her lack of emotions did prevent her from graduating at first. Thanks to Luculia, who is such a cute a likeable character, opened up her past about losing her parents and how her brother continues down a dark path, ridden with guilt after what happened in the war, Violet captured the essence of her emotions and portrayed it perfectly into the letter. And thus, thanks to Luculia again, Violet was able to graduate. We'll probably see her on an adventure from the next episode I guess. =) |

That's why I think this series should have been more than 14 episodes long. To get more of the important dialogue from the novel in, to lengthen Violet's development in becoming a doll, to show more detail in the other characters such as Hodgins, Cattleya and Benedict... |
"Le vent se lève!... Il faut tenter de vivre!" - Paul Valéry, Le Cimetière Marin - |
| I really hoped that Luculia will work together with Violet at her office.. but seems like.. it won't really happen.. Best Episode so far.. |
| I have been meaning to write this for a long time, but couldn't find the time. So, here are my thoughts on the last 2 episodes. Great Premise. Great characters. Brilliant visuals. Claudia Best Girl - Please NERF. Now that I have said my peace, let's get on with the third episode. This was pretty good. The premise of a school for Dolls was pretty good. Anyone can be a Doll, but if you wanna be the best Doll that no one ever was, then you should enroll. Sadly, EVERYONE ELSE took the same advice. But the school is merely a subplot of sorts compared to Luculia's story. Her brother's story and the impact it had on his and his sister's life was tragic, and along with Luculia being unsure about confronting her brother about this, sheds light about how important a Doll's work is. Their job is to convert their abstract, complex feelings into solid, tangible words, when it is virtually impossible to get it 100% right, and this episode makes it pretty clear. Violet managed to convert Luculia's feelings into a Thank you letter to her brother, and this scene made me cry like a bitch. Although how Violet gets the pin was a little bullshit-y(?), it was a nice, well-deserved ending to the episode, like the pin. Speaking of which, is it me, or does the pin look Tornadus' tail? I'm not kidding, look it up and tell me there's no connection.  OH MY GOD! Now I know how the war started! Thundurus and Tornadus whisked off to another dimension and built their own country and fought to see whose was more superior. Thankfully, Landorus popped in, dragged the two back to their world, and the war ended. Who won? Judging from the pin, it was Tornadus. Silly, I know. But a funny rumination nonetheless. |
ONWARDS! Away from homework and on to more anime!!! |
| This show just keeps getting better and better.. Yet to push it down from 10. It's just so relatable and heartwarming overall. |
 |
| It was an ok episode. The same things as from the previous episode were re stated but at least Violet finally makes some progress and writes a proper letter. |
