| Bit of a slow start and while the animation was good I wasn't blown away as I was expecting. Not a terrible first episode but nothing that special either. |
 |
| I was hoping it will be about Postgirl: the anime because it's an unique thing. But we get The letter writing job instead. Both are unique either way. Dear God they overused the Bloom. Really love the Linearts done the the characters and the color scheme. Let's hope the story is good, animation and pretty pictures can't carry the show alone. |
| So i tried to go in without any hype but i was kind of left unimpressed with anything. It was definitely good but nothing amazing, even with the animation quality. There's some weird filtering going on that really looks bad. Characters are okay. |
| The story hasn't started yet, so I'm just going to sit here for now. |
| The hype is justified, I can already feel a surge of emotions boiling inside me at the end of the episode. No OP and ED though. =( |
 |
| Really have to say that the first episode was indeed worth watching. I have been hyped for this since the moment I came to know about it. I also read the first chapter of the novel and it was really Interesting. It's sad to know that such a young lady has spent her entire life in the army. But it also saves the fact that she has been protected by some good as Gilbert. The President looks like a fine man. It's hard to believe that he is Colonel. I am really happy that Violet got her surname from the Evergarden family. She got herself gloves that really suits her along with a family that can take care of her. The job she took that is to Write Letters for people is an incredible idea. I never thought that something was like this. It really brought joy to my heart. The thing I didn't understand was the hand. Was it a robotic arm or something else? I doubt there was something like that at that time. But it's a story after all and I don't have any doubts. Hyped for looking for more Violet Evergarden-chan's moments. |
| I didn't expect it to be this great!!! The art is undoubtedly beautiful, but the music is even more beautiful and really fit with each scene. Hope that they will keep going with this marvellous quality till the end. |
 |
| The animations were amazing just as expected from the previews etc. :D OST ist pretty nice as well, i think this was a good first episode and i can't wait to see more of it! What exactly happened so that she lost both of her arms? and how can the technology be so advanced that she has those robotics, but the normal world technology seems not ahead of time? (pls no spoiler, just what popped up in my mind while watching) btw i think it's sad that animes that haven't even started to air, are so overhyped. that's why people always say 'not what i expected because of the hype' when it finally starts -.- |
| If the series will end up as good the art, this will easily be a 11/10. But even though the art was astounding, the episode itself was like a 5- or 6/10 so it didn't hold up as well. I will continue watching and hope it will be better but I generally don't hold love for Kyoani shows (Maid dragon is nice though) I'm not too overhyped about the series. |
| Seems pretty promising so far, but it's definitely hard to judge when the whole episode was essentially set-up. There's definitely some very interesting potential here, so I'm gonna stick with it and see where it goes: if this episode is any indication, this could be really good. |
| I don't understand people who do reviews after only one episode. Why? At least wait until a halfway point. If you make a review based on the very first episode, then I'm not going to take it seriously. |
| wow!! the animation was superb. this show should be watched in nothing less than 720p(that's the highest quality i'm able to watch without buffering XD) and also is there a 1080p version of this series or 720p is the highest they've got? a nice opening for the series.hope it keeps on becoming better. |

| Is tthis really a Tv anime? its not movie? ITS A SIN! Are Kyoani going to be okay on this anime? The story hit really hard because i still remember SukaSuka. |

| Beautiful first episode. I think they did a decent job on Violet's characterization and laid the foundation for her development. In that sense, a good setup episode. Really curious to see how KyoAni will handle this. Hoping for something great, because I absolutely loved the novel. Also, the music is top-notch. |

| After watching the first episode i can say that it was better than i imagined!!! |
| Lol, after reading all the comments it's all about "the animation was amazingly great" and only few said anything about the story. |
| Haters always gonna hate. |
| Great start. The visuals certainly look fantastic but there's quite a huge amount of blur effects that I didn't expect. It's certainly not distracting but it's very noticeable. Not entirely sure why they thought they needed this much Depth of Field to draw focus but I'm cool with it. The characters are quite likable and Violet is so pretty. It does seem to look like Violet is human and not an android or something as I seem to have thought. However, if that's true then the scene with Hodgins looking at Violet from what seemed to be some kind of gallery seems off somehow. Anyway, I'm looking forward to knowing more about Violet and Gilbert's past. I really liked that one shot from inside the street lamp with the flames covering half the screen while Hodgins was telling Velvet about the burns in her heart. That was a really nice touch. From what I took away from the second half and the end of this episode, if this story is gonna be about Violet discovering love and all the other little things that make life beautiful then I'm gonna like this a lot. |

| Don't know if it's overhyped or not, but for the start it is pretty good. Obv beatiful what you expect from KyoAni, liked the music, not much for the story cause it's only the beginning but definitely interesting. Kinda strange that people just with 1 episode writing it off, well if you don't like it you simply don't ... Was waiting for quite some time to watch and for the opening it was very good! |
 |
| Very impressive first episode! I was speechless! So that's why everyone is so hyped about this show! Every moment feels like it came from a movie cut! Outstanding OST! Truly Superb! KyoAni does justice! just look at all that key frame, very detailed, and all visuals are exemplar! 5/5! Edit: damn it I was just about to post my comments discussion when I found-out that MAL was in server maintenance 5 hours ago...GRRR! |

| As a novel reader, how come I never see this beautiful piece of art, now I can't read it after seeing how beautifully animated it was, truly an outstanding episode, though it seems it will focus on Character Development through Slice of Life Drama. |
 |
| this show is gorgeous. the presentation feels like a film. can't wait to watch the rest |
 |
| It feels like I'm watching a sequel, after being exposed to all the unbelievable amount of anticipation. Surreal feeling this, feeling that this would probably be the prettiest looking(*not necessarily best looking) 20 minutes of anime I will see in years, and that this is Kyoto's (*intended) magnum opus they've relished for years. Not liking Koyasu's acting. About the EP, it was v good, was on the fence in the first half but grew into it in the second. Not the most interesting premise but I still got to care about her I think. Bound to be some cheap contrarian haters and fanboys, make their minds up before watching a second of it don't they |
| Someone already said this but it's definitely better than Magus' bride. So many people say that Violet is just the typical kuudere and that they don't care about her character. I don't understand this. Even though she doesn't understand her emotions, this episode constantly showed us her emotions from the very first scene and after that through her actions, facial expressions and body language. Gilbert also talks about how he saw those emotions in her. And that scene where the girl from the Auto Memoir Doll service talks about the emotions of the customer but through the flashbacks we see it's actually about Violet's emotions and then her facial expression at the end! That scene was powerful. And ofcourse as others have stated the animation was beautiful and it had a good soundtrack. Sorry I ended up writing so much, but I really enjoyed this first episode and was annoyed by people just saying: "Violet is boring, overhyped, NEXT". |

You're even pickier than I am aren't you |
| Rest of the episodes better not end with her typing on a typewriter. I still don't understand why people rate a show after watching just 1 episode. See this one Mahoutsukai no Yome too. Already on top 100 list (also the popularity number). Better watch 3 episodes before rating. Though the 1st episode is really well animated. OST is good. Overall OK, can carry on with it. |
 |
| Such vivid colors <3 and Violet is just gorgeous! *o* Can't wait to watch the next one ^^ |
 [*]My Completed List [*]♪Listen ► [/list][/left] |
| Some people already pointed out that they really should tone down the blur effects. Aside from that a pretty promising start,sure one episode doesn't mean anything,but it did a good job at setting up the course straight towards feels city.As expected of Kyoto. Hope we can reach our destination within these 14 episodes without getting a flat tire. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Its better from what I really expected, the emotion from the characters with its superb animation, voice acting, and sounds, hook me even at the very first minute. Its too painful too watch Violet, she still don't what happened to her Major after the war, then comes flashbacks, feels :'( Interesting premise, what happens to a person who survive in a war, and coping up with the post-war daily life. Looking forward for further episodes. |

| I admit very frankly that I found strange what I saw with what was told in the synopsis, however, it was a good start, given the dark tone and dramatic situations. I hope that the direction is this and does not fall into trivial situations sweetened or out of place comedy; I want to cry so much with this anime series and torment myself for the events that will be told. Really fascinating graphics, as well as the soundtrack. Very good animations like quality, a pleasure for the eyes. |

| Admit you walked right into that one. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| Was hilarious when he found the young girl in the middle of the night handing out the mail!!! lol |
| As expected from kyoani the animation quality is unbelievably great. It seems like the story is starting pretty slowly, but it could lead to some very interesting things. This LN being the only one that got first at kyoani's contest, i have high expectations for what's to come. |

I always do rate the series when I completed watching it :D |
