| Right now - the best anime of this season. |
| I love this episode, maybe because I'm a romance lover. Violet's age surprised me a bit, but, okay...Violet is smiling at the end and that's warming my heart. And also, whoa, Gilbert's bro is there. |
| Holy shit. Actually so good... Amazing |
| I loved seein Violet smile And i'm all in for romance episodes, but, i felt a little uneasy 'cause of the 10 year age gap between the princess and the other dude |

| This was so damn good. My favorite episode, this show is really becoming better and better. I loved the love story, Charlotte, Alberta and Damien all were very endearing esp Charlotte. |
 |
| Wow, that was a 10/10 episode from start to finish. The Princess's story was beautifully nuanced; the scenes that followed after Violet spoke to Cattleya were a gem to watch. |

 |
| It was beautiful, one of the best episodes yet. |
 |
| This was my favorite episode so far, looking forward to next episode! |
| Here we fucking go, finally a legit good episode. still has some problem tho, like violet just suddenly being good at writting letters and her being 14 years old .... anime logic strikes again. |
 |
| I am so unbelievably skeeved out that the point of this entire episode was “age is just a number”. That Violet is only 14. Man, the major was in love with her when she was younger than that, when she was even more of a child? I don’t care if the excuse is it’s because this is set in an older era this is.... eugh.... Nothing about this episode was romantic for me. I was just incredibly uncomfortable, and honestly don’t know how to mentally approach the rest of this series. I could ignore this episode even happened and continue to assume she’s 17 but.... when it was mentioned she looked young I just thought it was because she was a teenager, yknow? Goddamn. Classic anime she looks 20 and is actually a baby. Why was this necessary. Maybe this shows just not for me. I love the visuals and the animation, but I don’t feel emotionally invested in Violet at all and the plot is failing to feel touching and nuanced to me. It’s just kinda dragging along, and this is coming from someone who loves slice of life and slow chill shows. I respect those who are still enjoying the show but the characters and story and simply.... lacking. |

| The only thing that bothered me in this episode is Violet's age. I'm just going to pretend she is 17. |
 |
| I was just gonna say "great episode" Then the age question bumped on me ... |
| finally violet wrote letters instead of report , she need to work on her social skill more though. and that ending , this is gonna be a setback for violet's development right? trauma of the past and something like that |
| The episode had emotion imo. I felt it put any Disney movie featuring Princesses, which is quite a lot of them, to shame. But anime tend to do that, being a much better story telling format than most other medium. |
Lel. That's sooooo true. XD |
| <GENERIC SIGNATURE> |
| AROUND 14... SHE'S SUPPOSE TO BE AROUND 14... Also thank GOD They actually reading the letters back now. Also when did Violet get good at writing love letters, especially ones like that? Did I miss an episode? Anyway, I really enjoyed this episode and all those dang letters the Prince and Princess were sending back and forth. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |

| Violet is typical woman. I NEED TO BE YOUNGER. IM 8 years old. hurr durr. |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| Such a beautiful elegant episode! Violet witnessed a love that has come true. based on the epilogue, is this the start of the true plot? looks like there's someone who is very bitter with regards to the very existence of Violet! OST nails it again! 5/5. |
 |
| Beautiful episode. I was sure at first that this was going to be the usual "arranged marriage where the princess isn't happy about it", but I'm glad that it was much better, a true love story. |
 |
| This episode was very beautiful! So many feels ;o; It made my heart warm after seeing the princess happy ending, but that's because I love romance XP After trying to force many expressions, which was very funny to watch, Violet could finaly make a genuine smile at the end ^^ that was cute <3 Strange... I wonder what that ending was all about. Guess there's one way to find out >_>; |
 [*]My Completed List [*]♪Listen ► [/list][/left] |
| What a lovely episode! Charlotte is such a beautiful, sweet girl. It was sad that she parted with Alberta though. I haven't read the original source but every episode so far has been really intriguing to me, filler or not. Every short story is unique and is complemented by the engaging atmosphere, the soundtrack and the lovely art. |
| aaa this episode is really interesting. i'm enjoying every part of it, especially the letter write scene is pretty good executed. 5/5 |
| Watch aria the animation and it's sequel. |
| What the heck is this pacing lol. As of episode 4 she was still barely human and the only good thing about her writing was its simplicity, then after one timeskip she developed enough to write fancy love letters for royalty. Why did they stretch her minimal character development over 4 episodes if she could take such a leap with one month of research? I should be happy that she might not be such a garbage protagonist from now on, but even her improvement was handled poorly. |
| This was almost another REALLY strong episode. I just felt like it failed to deliver on the Prince. In his letters he appears to be a fairly complex and compelling character. But when he actually appeared in the episode. He was sort of just a dull placeholder. And I felt the Princess is personal journey was the only thing that held the episode together. Still it was a fun if stretched concept. That utilized the show's gimmicky central conceit well. This series is starting to remind me of Kino. With all the different kingdoms and all the traveling Violet has been doing. And at the very end. When Charlotte-hime kissed her maids hand. I had actual tears boyo. Made me feel more with those two characters in twenty minutes. Than I have with the rest of the cast up until now. Really curious about the next episode now. That was a hell of a hook. |
 |
| The ending felt really out of place (who the hell even like such puffy declarations) but the rest of the episode was nice I guess. It felt more like fairy-tale. Wouldn't mind if the ending was more tragic (like the both countries would get invaded right after the wedding or there would be an atentat that would kill both of them). Have to say Cattleya reveal in the end was also nice conclusion to this part. But actually, it would be better if all the series was situated to the real world rather than into fictional one. Some of regional names are just bad and it would portray the horrors of war better. |
| This is the best episode of the show so far. |
| Beautiful episode in every respect. But yes, I thought it was time for plot to progress beyond Violet writing letters (since she's clearly improved much). I just hope KyoAni doesn't choke this time since it often falls flat when plot is supposed to take off. |
| I found it to be quite derivative |
shanimebib said: Fujimiya said: Meanwhile im shedding some tears on the last charlotte scene where she's showing her gratitude to her lifetime nanny court maid, that such a beautiful yet strong scene. I found the part more heartwarming than the apparent main plot of this standalone episode that is the marriage. I think her name being Alberta (renowned for Wild Rose) was the hidden message of the episode which was the real love story of this episode: a love story of a mother and a daughter who are not related by blood. Agreed. Can't say I cared much about the romance, but Charlote and Alberta's relationship was very endearing. Masterful job by KyoAni with their final scene together. Hit me right in the feels. Shitorasuu said: Kibernavt said: Hmm...where I have already seen it?  but Violet did not work out well, I think  Yeap, as you can see the original is better. Nah I prefer Violet but still though what's the sauce? Darker Than Black |
