| Boring episode. So far this anime seems really overrated. Just melodramatic nonsense with little substance. At least the main character and animation are good. |
| the animation for this anime is so gorgeous, i cant help looking at it. i miss some of the subtitles and have to rewind back cause i get caught up in looking at the art |
| I haven't read the manga so I don't have anything to compare it to. I liked this episode enough. It seemed like Violet was starting to understand emotion a little bit more, and she wrote her second good letter. Good for her. I do hope the story does pick up just a bit more thou. |
| Now I see what the show is trying to do. Character developments through experience! Violet will be met with events such as the one in this episode where she wrote a letter to the party guests and Iris' parents. By doing so, Violet's skill in conveying feeling through the letter is improved, thus she gets closer and closer to understanding the human emotions that she deems complex and finally get a step closer to knowing the meaning behind her Major's "I love you" Violet's reaction to hearing that her letter was good was so cute! I still want to see her smile for real though... |
  |
| Violet has reached a new enlightening considering her case, she finally managed to move everybody with her letter, I also loved the Irises at the end of the episode and how they tie up Iris' name, that girl was truly loved by her family. The moment when Violet introduced herself to Iris' family is my favorite in the series so far, so angelic and delicate it had me rewind that part more than I care to admit. Really loving the opening and ending sequences. |
| ZzZzZzZzZz so far a meh/10 |
 |
| Her parents had a good intention but it didn't work as they thought it would. And lool, why did that guy accept the invitation? |
 |
| u can't lie when violet is around cause she blurrs all out 😂😂😂 she is amusing and entertaining as f (also cute) |

| Nice episode, some development for Iris.. wonder if all the other Dolls will get chances like this |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Violet is still not likable at all, actually she seems even more dumb in this episode. And it focused on Iris, whom I never liked from the start. I feel like this is going nowhere. Also, the whole scene where Violet curtsied and said her name with the wind and the leaves sweeping up was so ridiculously over dramatic that I actually started laughing. I'm not even gushing over the animation, not a fan of overly beautiful things, but I'll admit that the scene with the field of irises was beautiful and the flashback was interesting. |
  I want to know what it is, this 'sin' they say I've committed. |
| aww 😞 the parellel of their naming |
  |
| I am genuinely surprised to see how controversial this show is. |
   |
| No, she may not be accomplishing anything grand, but she's clearly growing into her understanding of emotions. I for one enjoy a slow paced story about personal growth. Of course, I don't have the expectations that someone who was a fan of the source material has. |
 |
| A general issue (if you even want to call it that) I have with kyoani shows is that they often seem over-animated. Like that scene when they were walking down the stairs and their hair was bouncing up and down, I appreciate the attention to detail but it was a bit distracting, they should have made it bounce a bit less in my opinion. Anyway, this was one of the better episodes |
 _______I like rocks__  |
| I took about a half year break from Violet Evergarden due to distractions and life in general. Coming back to episode 4, I think the break really helped. Violet shouldn't be the main focus of every episode. Rather, having episodes like this where she takes a bystander role works so much better. This allows the world to be fleshed out a little more, it allows other characters to gave more screen time in, it reduces the repetitive personal issues Violet keeps bringing up, and it lets Violet develop as a character through watching others develop as well. Once again, the audiovisuals in this anime are amazing, and giving some time to take in the atmosphere gave me new appreciation for the series. Despite being called "Violet Evergarden," this anime shouldn't just be about Violet, but about the world she lives in. If she's a blank slate, then the world around her would need to fill in for the void left by her empty character. In doing so, hopefully she can be fleshed out and become a character unto herself by the end. |
| This episode was alright. I’m starting to like violet a bit more. |
And Violet seems to be getting better at writing letters, but Iris' story is weird too. But her parents don't understand why they want to marry her if she doesn't want to. 😐 And that guy doesn't understand what he's to blame for just refusing sheep, 😐 We still have a lot to learn. |
| Iris didn't take that rejection from Emonn too well. Heck, it almost ruined her relationship with her parents. Thankfully, Violet was able to ghostwrite her apology to them in a letter -which tbh is rather strange considering they're in the same house, lol. Iris needs to get rid of those heels. She's way too danger prone to be wearing them. The background scenery is always so gorgeous to look at. When it comes to naming conventions, you can't seem to go wrong with naming your child/weapon after a flower, eh. |
 |
| Don't be catty, Iris. You realize Violet was a child soldier, right? She could kick your ass if she really wanted to. Also, how nice of her to give Violet credit for the letter when she was the one speaking it, yeah? |

"Molly Ringwald" out right now - check my Linktree!  |
| This is such a great anime an it shows how communicating things well makes all the difference, doesn't it |
| so, its not bad so far but its carried by its amazing visuals NGL, Violet is so clueless that it gets a bit annoying |
 |
| Violet and Iris' names are named after flowers. So nice to see the character developments in this episode! |
 ------------------------- Marianne ~Effort, Fortitude, and Tenacity |
| Wholesome that both gals were named after flowers. The title of the episode was also wholesome. I like the comparison of what Violet went through with the Major and the current events happening in front of her. Violet is slowly having character development, which is nice to see! Somehow I always either cry or get teary-eyed from all of the episodes thus far. The visuals are still amazing and continue to be beautiful |
 This never updates so that's cool |
| cool melancholic episode. It's meant to be boring u morons xd It's not an action anime. |
| I definitely can understand Iris in this episode, being so happy to be demanded only to learn that it wasn't an actual request... I would be kinda mad as well. |
| Looks like a lot of people didn't really like this episode- it is the lowest-rated one out of them all. Whatever the reason is, fair enough, it is apparently just some filler that wasn't in the novels after all. Filler or not though, it fits in very well with the overarching theme. We'll be pretty much following the same formula throughout, but I for one am loving seeing Violet take even just baby steps in understanding human emotion. And not just her, but the same goes equally as much for the people she will be writing letters for. They usually see how straight to the point Violet is with her thoughts and feelings, saying how everything is as it is without any complexity or layers to it- and they learn to somewhat be the same in conveying their own feelings to another which can be hard to do. We have character dynamics bouncing off one another, character growth happening simultaneously, iron sharpening iron if you will... and I think it's beautiful to see. |
