Excited that this is finally out!!! Was this something you guys were looking forward to this season?
What makes me even more excited is that Netflix decided to simulcast the series!!!

I'm excited to see how the buffoons on this site manage to come up with reviews scoring it the inevitable "3" and "4" with their unprecedented bitching and moaning about how;

a. IT didn't live up to its "hype"
b. "Style over substance"
c. Anime is dying, mainstream casuals taste sucks, blahblahblah

Sure why not. It's got Kyoto' Ani's unprecedented visuals accompanied by a masterclass award winning source material.

This has all the ingredients of a masterpiece.

Haven't seen it yet (and I know almost nothing about it so I could be wrong), but I think it's adapted from an award-winning novel. The people hyping it up probably read it, or saw the first 3 episodes at that event a few months ago.

I mean I love pretty visuals, but mainly when those visuals actually say something, about the overall anime.
So far, the only thing the visuals seem to communicate to me, is that it's going to be, "very tenderly sad and feelzy". And drama is a genre I've been skeptical of for the past few years (you kind of grow to get sick of it after transitioning to adulthood)

It's a KyoAni non-high-school anime based on a source that is at least above-average.

This glorious signature image was created by @Mayumi!

I am the Arbiter of Absolute Truth, and here is my wisdom:

"Anime was always influenced by the West. This is not news.
Shoujo is the superior genre primarily aimed at young people.
Harem/isekai are lazy genres that refuse any meaningful innovation.
There is no 'Golden Age.' There will always be top-shelf anime.
You should be watching Carole & Tuesday."

Well, VE is the only LN out of all the LN adaptations from KyotoAnimation which is said to have won the Grand Prize from KAI. The jury actually quoted the LN to be one of a kind that will capture the heart of anyone who read it, at least by one of the short stories in it, if not, by all of them. And then there is Violet's own story.

Note that VE won the award because of the short stories it contained and not just because of Violet's own story which we saw a glimpse of in the first episode. The stories of her clients moved the jury enough to award it the Grand Prize. Violet's own story is just the cherry on top of a cake which we are yet to experience.

Of course Netflix was going to license it knowing how popular it might become. Those who read the LN all said it is worth an 8/10 or better.

I personally have been resisting myself from reading it because I want to experience and enjoy the anime without knowing much. The same reason why I don't read other LNs or novels when they are/were animated. For e.g. Oregairu, Saekano, Hibike! Euphonium etc.

Also, since it's gonna be a complete adaptation as the LN has finished, there is very little chance of wronging it since they already have the entire content to animate.

I appreciate all the inside detail into this - this has been one of the key points I myself have reiterated (that the LN iss an award winning source material).

I too agree with you, i prefer to watch works animated rather than reading the source material, so to each their own.

One thing's for sure this is absolutely atop the list of things i'm potentially interested in this year.

This isn't just because it ain't living up to the hype, but because I legitimately found that first episode really fucking bad, even on a technical standpoint it was not good, especially for KyoAni standards. I'm just hoping that it improves.

I never thought that it was a big hype, though I'm pretty much the same with them as of now since I've read the first half of the story, I'm more interested on how they will capture the hearts of people. It made me teared up a bit but it didn't made me cry while reading the Novel with Sawano's Sad Music. Honestly I think the 2nd and the 3rd episode would make the anime sky rocket if they will adapt the original beginning, those stories can definitely make a normal person cry.

From what I've seen lurking, it honestly looks like he considers his opinions to be irrefutable facts, like the one time he claimed Kirito to be one of the top 10 characters of all time or something, and no one had yet "proven him wrong".

Maybe one day ten years down the line he'll reveal he's been trolling, and all of MAL will applaud him as the greatest of all time but till then...don't bother.

OT: drama isn't really my thing, but I have high hopes VE will cross that barrier, and amazing visuals are always a plus.

Reviewing VE doesn't sound like a bad option, but i already have my sights set on Darling in the FranXX. Whether it gets roasted or not remains to be seen but i assure you you'll be the first one to know. ;)
