| I don't think that I'll be able to handle all the feels that this series will surely have Visually this show is legit movie quality so I don't need to fangasm over how godlike the art and animation is (The music is great too) but man I'm really loving the characters already I'm kinda confused about Violet though, is she human or is she some type of android/doll or something? |
| This is the anime I was looking forward to watching the most this season. I'm pretty sure the Major is dead judging by their reactions. And then by what happens at the end. I feel really sorry for Violet, she's basically a killing machine that only knows war and doesn't really know how to live properly and take care of herself without the help of others. Colonel Hodgins seems to be a nice guy who wants to genuinely help her out. A potential family to take her in and a job at the post office, that's a good start, might take a while for her to adapt though. Wow that was quite the powerful emotional ending, Violet wants to know what love means after hearing those words from the major. That's really cool, she now has a goal and ambition that will keep her moving on in life and looking ahead for the answer, she doesn't need any orders this time around. |

| Damn, what's with those yellow lines ? Are they part of the animation ? I feel like i already once watched something similar, But l love the Slice of Life vibe from this, i'm not going to say that animation looks good, it's not like it was no already said 100x already in this thread. I like the tanned doll girl ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Also She is a "Doll" a machine ? will there be some kind of explanation of those dolls ? Like what they are ? cause you know, she was in hospital, injured, treated, she eat food, she "feel" how much are they human ? PS: Also this will be hated by people but, there are two tanned characters, is this because of Netflix ? or are they tanned in novel too ? |

| I've read the novel and it looks like they're going the "I want to know what love is" path. I loved the novel and the first episode and I'll stick till the end to see how this adaptation will go.

Also, about the "Doll" part. I was also confused at first but "Doll" is just what they are called. But I realized that they are humans even the tanned girl, Cattleya ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) |

| The show looks and sounds nice, but, IT'S SUPER BORING. I'm just hoping it gets more into the war stuff. |

I'm not an expert on this, but i think this show and LN is not about war, but about what or how to live after the war. I can be mistaken tho. Shineee_ said: Also, about the "Doll" part.

| It's hyped up so much and overrated before airing But Will this series live up to its novel counterpart? |
| Facts about anime[due to popular belief] goku is the most powerful out of all the protagonists in any naruto battle, Madara wins in any MMORPG Kirito wins in case of an illogical power boost/unexpected nerf/ plot hole/illogical scenarios/wrong use of abilities/no explanations/ don't question or blame the anime just follow the fans. I have been watching anime and reading manga on occasionaly but to this day, One thing is still a mystery to me how is it possible that some fans know more about their favourite anime and manga than the crators of the said anime or manga? how do they explain in more detail than the creator made it in ? . |
| At this point I'm really confused at all the praise the animation is getting. Yes, it's fantastic. But have you all not seen other KyoAni work before? Hibike! Euphonium was basically on-par. This is better in a few scenes, but marginally so. It was gorgeous but people acting like it's some nex-tier stuff are overreacting or have never seen KyoAni stuff before. And so I have to say, go watch Hibike! Euphonium. Both seasons are amazing and absolutely gorgeous. |

| Adamantine? What kind of technology is this country running on? So soldier girl wants to learn how to live and know the meaning of love after losing her superior, and she will do that by writing letters. Interesting, interesting. It's like therapy for people who have been soldiers their whole life. Sousuke Sagara needs something like this lol. Well they established the backstory and MC's goal right away, though it felt that they moved it along pretty quickly. So from here on out, I'm expecting a lot of love letters written with emotions of all kinds. Alright Violet, you've showed us your Evergarden. Now start tending to those hearts. |

I don't know anything about the novel but Netflix is just a licensor. they didn't produce this show and they don't have any creative control over it. |

Both seasons are amazing and absolutely gorgeous. I definitely see your point, and I will absolutely agree that some of the Hibike! Euphonium animation was out of this world (especially that 360-degrees shot of the entire band in season 1's OP!!!) but I still think that, at least for this episode, it is way beyond almost anything I've seen from KyoAni. The more important question is whether this standard can be maintained and will the story continue to be compelling? I'd also recommend perusing this link's stuff (although please understand that I don't intend to insult your opinion, as I totally respect that views can differ no matter what, and I totally see your view): https://blog.sakugabooru.com/?s=violet |
| Guys it just started lol but it was a great start. https://www.google.com/amp/comicbook.com/anime/amp/2018/01/11/violet-evergarden-episode-count-anime-netflix-watch/ 14 episodes confirmed. Not sure about OVA as someone mentioned it earlier l. This is basically repeated information |
 |
| KyoAni back at it again with an awesome show |
| “I love heroes, but I don't want to be one. Do you even know what a hero is!? For example, you have some meat. Pirates will feast on the meat, but the hero will distribute it among the people! I want to eat the meat!” - Monkey D. Luffy |
| So PTSD Saber with Mikasa's voice. All the characters look really beautiful and music sounds good too. Looks promising so far. |
| i thought this episode was really beautiful, especially the end.. i don't get why some people are disappointed or say that it not lives up to the hype? I mean where did you get your hype from? Im guessing the trailers and teasers ? This first episode was everything the trailers showed us, so if you say it doesnt live up to the hype then thats your problem because you overhyped it yourself i wanna see more of this! excited for next week |
RussianWolf said: aikaflip said: In my personal and irrelevant opinion, this first episode was neither good nor bad. Nonetheless, as I'd hoped wouldn't be the case after seeing the preview, Violet Evergarden tries too hard to be beautiful, and it's careful to the point of contrivance. A pen can't just fall; it must fall beautifully. When the wind blows, things must be beautifully whisked away to the sound of mournful violin strings. Everything is a dramatic event accentuated by gaudy, low-contrast visuals. Beyond the animation—by "animation" I mean the key and in-between work, which is undoubtedly good—little else feels inspired. This show clearly isn't for me. Rather than whine every week about things I don't like, I'm just going to drop it. If you enjoyed it, I hope you continue to do so. We respect your opinion, I do this often. Just don't give it a 1 and run away. No way. Very few shows are deserving of a 1 rating. For me, Violet Evergarden is like a 6 or 5. |
| Animation and design is good but heavy-handed tearjerker bullshit was pulling me away from appreciating it at times. As far as first episode goes Violet is dragging it down. I'll see how it develops but I'm not expecting anything ambitious. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| Definitely eye candy, and breathtaking BG music. Otherwise though... I'm feeling pessimistic about what this show will turn into. Feels like it's going to be an episodic slice of life show, without enough elements to keep it interesting. I'd love to be proven wrong, but I'm not counting on it. Edit: I believe I was wrong |

| Hey, I liked this episode. Animation was pretty good, too. But the fanservice was there, which always kinda ruins anime for me. When will anime grow up as a medium? (Probably never. Thanks creepy anime fans.) Also, the dude calling Violet a kid looked actually younger than Violet lol |
| your waifu is shit |
| Animation quality and art style are stellar but this episode was a real snoozefest ! I pity the fools that rate a show on a single episode or even write reviews on a single episode, positive or negative, you are in the same boat! 3/5 |
| Interesting series, did not expect to see the hands off and the declaration of love against the backdrop of the "Vietnamese" flashback in KyoAni's work. Nevertheless, the main character already took me prisoner due to her immediacy and similarity of personality with Reina, Sento and Saber. |
 |
| oh my god that was so fucking good my eyes everything was so beautiful VIOLET IS THE PRETTIEST ANIME CHARACTER EVER |
| This kinda sucked and the main girl didnt make me care about her at all. Next. |
 |
| Kirei, you can always trust Kyoani for beautiful animation + art, the colour schemes are incredible. Really hoping the story holds up; children serving in war raises a few questions. |

| Visually not as impressive as I expected,I know KyoAni uses alot of filters and blur effects in their anime but usually don't notice them but this was different it was very noticeable in this entire episode.Almost a sort of disservice cause in some cases it seems like the visuals would look much better without the filters/effects. Dislike the fact Gilbert is very clearly dead but Hoggins kept that from Violet,seems unprofessional and like something that would be against military code. Violet as of right now ain't that interesting of a protagonist,she's just a kuudere,stoic and emotionless. Best part of this episode for me was the flashback to presumably Gilbert's death scene,would like more context on that scene. Okay first episode,other than visuals not being as good as I expected no real disappointment so far. |

| forgive my ignorance... this girl is a human right, not some automaton; I'm slightly confused it was alright, it did okay in countering the built up hype of the anime.. but obviously one episode doesn't really give anything to write an opinion of the anime, let alone a review P.S. BTW when are the episodes going to be released in a week, i haven't seen its broadcast time yet since it hasn't come up on MAL |
