I'm missing some sort of plot summary here.

Visually speaking, there's no arguing its quality, as anyone with eyes can confirm. Yet it remains as a pretty CM only until we get more information.

The visual is gorgeous, no doubt about that
Sinopsis is kinda interesting, but I'm not sold yet
Oh well, it can't be worst than phantom world right?

The animation looked really nice, this looks very promising. As long as it's better than Mushitgen no Phantom World (which shouldn't be hard to accomplish) then I'm good.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords.

I dunno why I don't like KyoAni at all xD
I end up abandoning or dropping all their works
I don't remember any anime that had a great impact in my mind at all xD

Knowing Kyoto Animation nowadays it will look beautiful, but have mediocre plotting and cliche characters. Let's hope they can return to their former glory.

"Violet Evergarden is the first and only Grand Prize Winner the Kyoto Animation Literary Awards despite going on for now 7 years.

During the award ceremony, the judges stated:
A work suitable for our first Grand Prize. The writing clearly and simply conveys the author's message as well as allows the reader to imagine the character's emotions and scenes. It makes a strong case.

Its appeal draws the reader in and makes them want to finish it all in one sitting. Connected with how it strongly moved a lot of our judges, it was elected to win the Grand Prize."


^^^^^ DAYUMMM. 7 years of not picking a worthy candidate for grand prize. Kyoai must of been blown away by the quality of the work. They struck it good, hopefully they don't f*ck it up like Musaigen Phantom World.

You people actually think this is what the show itself will look like? It's like you want to be disappointed. It's a commercial, of course it looks great. It's KyoAni so I expect it to look nice anyway, but still, get real.
Can't say much about the story, since KyoAni is known to butcher their own novels. They're not really renowned for their writing though, so I'm sure it doesn't really matter to most. Can't say I'm too optimistic though...

Well, you can expect it to have money shots which look incredible, they wouldn't just animate these shots for the commercial - that would be a massive waste. Like Hyouka looks great but it isn't full blast all the time, same with Hibike.

Imo it's all down to the direction, it was that which carried Hyouka -shrug-

As for the plot, as you said, KyoAni have a knack for destroying series by forcing cute into it.

The novel is a collection of short stories ala Mushishi, and the only main character featured in all of them is Violet; featured the most in this PV, so don't get your hopes up. The best you can expect is a few of one-off male characters who can fully develop by the time an episode ends.

She is talking about the two main male characters Hodgins and Gilbert.
ultimatemegax translated their bios and they are featured in novel PV and anime CM (Movie).

I imagine it'll be Plastic Memories done right, my expectations are really high. I'm not a fan of episodic anime series but this case seems to fit the format. As long as the story follows the same quality as the animation we'll have a lot to talk about in the future. Hopefully, talking about good things.

The stunning visuals may not be in the original TV series as we have seen for Free! and Kyoukai no Kanata CMs in the past. But regardless, if they are anywhere near Hibike! Euphonium or Hyouka it's gonna be a real treat. Cannot wait! Also, the fact that it's the only novel that won the grand prize since the inception of the awards. Please don't let Musaigen no Disaster World happen ever again!

who needs animation with that synopsis

the synopsis i'm talking about is this
“Auto Memories Doll.” It’s already been a long time since that name was first popularized. It’s a machine that Dr. Orlando created that talks in a natural voice. At first, he only made it to help out his loving wife, but before long they spread out into the world. and companies were made to lend them out. “I’m Violet Evergarden, the Auto Memories Doll who will rush to provide service anywhere you wish.“ That translucent voice comes from a robotic beautiful girl with blonde hair and blue eyes like she came out of a storybook.

from https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/4l9xnd/

but really whotf cares it's kyoani

This looks so amazing, I hope it's a romance story it's been a while since KyoAni has done one, they've been doing a lot of sci-fi stuff recently.

Don't know why you put Hyouka in parenthesis for the director OP, shoulda put Kyoukai no Kanata (which is the other KyoAni show he directed)



Thank you! Thank you! THANK YOU!

Could someone from MAL read this and correct?

Kyoukai no Kanata was really bad and the guy responsible of that, Ishidate, Taichi, is precisely the one who wil be the director of Violet evergarden. It looks like an announced desaster to me.

Hyouka was amazing (it is one of my fav) ... probably because Ishidate Taichi was NOT the director of this anime. Please MAL staff could you change the reference? it's bad information.

Can Kyoto Animation redeem themselves from all the past garbage they put out lately? I hope so.

This looks really nice and that animation is sugoi<3. While it is a CM, and obviously the animation looks better in CM, I still expect some good animation from KyoAni.
