| I mean ... Violet is cute and all ... but she's kinda annoying right now. Outisde of the episode being good looking, it was pretty bleh overall. Hope it gets better. |

| God DAMN THIS ANIME LOOK GOOD... And luckily for me, I'm enjoying this quite a bit. Seems quite a few of the people here were a tad dissatisfied with this, and that's understandable. This ain't exactly the hype master piece I was waiting 2-3 years for, but I don't think it's by any means bad, just not what was expected. Again though, luckily for me, I can pretty easily find enjoyment in slower paced anime at times. |

| Honestly this show just isn't fair. They just put the tunes on relatable scenario's to play with the kokoro!! |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| So people can't find a different reason to criticise the show than "the XYZ don't suit my taste"? |
| Cattleya is just so hot !!. One of the best looking woman in anime. It she had nice boobs also !! Also, it was not boring as some people say. Violet was acting funny in this episode |
| Violet and Benedict made me laugh so hard in this episode. "WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?" "She's Erica" LOL Then when Benedict was trying to get the reception girls to eat with him and the only one who would was the deliver man, those tears in his eyes had me crying tears of laughter lol. Oh okay I like the flirting going on with Cattleya and Hodgins. Though why Hodgins wouldn't oblige to her is fucking mind boggling. Benedict watching those two was pretty funny as well lol. Oh god...the months rent...THE BROOCH!!! |

| Nice episode, but nothing too special or remarkable |
 |
| Ok, KyoAni officially bought me again. Everyone who thinks it's boring, grow up and watch it again for next few years. shanimebib said: . No one ever asked how and why Edward's hand or leg moved in FMA but people are trying to nitpick on almost anything in this one because they are too preoccupied with the idea that this story is taking place in OUR world when it clearly isn't. Because, you know, MUH action, MUH shounen, MUH epic war and MUH edginess. |

| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| Better than 1st ep. |
 I'm watching anime since 2012. I also play games, sometimes. Don't bother me if you want to 'become friends' or things like that. It's tiresome. I know you just want to collect some meaningless numbers. Thought: How many people sparked H. Charlotta just for blue pot? |
| I want to know what "I love you" mean. That signature line hits me each time I hear it. Start to love this story more and more. Could develop into one of my fav animes. What a beautiful and funny episode too. The soundtrack is so beautiful and fitting too. Can't unterstand the negative comments here. |

| Another great episode. OK, the president didn't SAY Gilbert was DEAD so I'm gonna hope he's actually alive for now (hope this anime doesn't break my heart later though...) Also will there be no opening and ending?? I was really looking forward to the op/ed but all we see is Netflix at the beginning and end of each episode and that sucks :( |
 |
| Sooo goooooood. Very touching T____T |
| I think that anime is doing a pretty good job in setting up its characters and plot. Everything feels natural and not to mention the beautiful aesthetics while I can understand how people would get bored over this, I think it's one of the more enjoyable shows of the season compared to the others and I watched more boring shit than this. Also why the hell does Minori Chihara's voice here sound to vocaloid'ish not a fan :l Guess a lot of people picked this up due to the hype that surrounds it even if it doesn't interest them |

| The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. Meh... kind of dragging already... This is far from a hard-hitting drama. LOL that letter. So much for "most anticipated" anime. What if it turns out to be a lemon? Lemon Evergarden. You heard it first here folks! |

| Good god, just tell her the Major is dead already. Dragging it out like this will just hurt her far more when you finally decide to. |

jimjimex said: What have I just done? This Violet girl would probably reply, with hands in her back: "Sir! You just spent 23 minutes watching a psychopathic girl with no humanity and emotions what-so-ever trying to figure out what her commander's last words meant, sir! I find Violet to be completely emotionless and unrelatable. There better be a really good reason / back story why the main character is behaving like this... I don't think knowing the reason behind her emotionless nature is the important thing. Rather, learning those emotions is more important. She may be slow at it, but it doesn't she's completely incapable of knowing them. |

| This anime is very good looking, well sasuga Kyoani Tbh, for all the hype the series itself is pretty underwhelming im not a novel-reader but after watching trailer, pretty sure a lot of people expecting more, including me... it's understandable misleading trailer ? LUL but it turns out to be emotionless Saber learns about emotion as a typewriter with slice of life after war-drama. Seriously, no one tells her about love? or major's condition? for what? moar drama? trust me, if she know about major she'll cry and know instantly what "sadness" and "love" are without wasting 13 eps Well it's ok for me tho so far, but not special |
roppuriJan 21, 2018 7:53 AM
| Getting the feeling Kyoani doesn't know how to write interesting women. |
| Violet Evergarden isn't what I thought it would be. But I still like the route it's taking. Seriously, tho - Violet is annoying. |

| and I thought Magus' Bride was overhyped nope this one wins, there's literally nothing good about this anime besides animations |
Eanraig said: Kyoani designs are getting way too detailed for their own good. The animation suffers from it, look at most 'sakuga' moments episode 2 had. Either 1-2 second close ups or layouts using basic one-point perspective, with the camera perpendicular to the actors ( example ), same with episode 1, it all feels very flat, specially with that global gray filter, it does nothing but crush the shadows and limit the color range of the scene. They never play with foreshortening and I get why, rotating the mecha hand for example, and playing with perspective with such a detailed design would take a long time, the first cut of this took a month to animate, a goddam month: https://www.sakugabooru.com/data/ce98eeca27b2f3619117c0726513cfd4.mp4 Take a look at this scene, the detail in the mecha or the pilot's hand aren't as complex as Violet designs but notice how it uses foreshortening and perspective, notice how the shadows are actual shadows, they give more depth to the image https://www.sakugabooru.com/data/3edf0ac12f89339976fc7038b3c91da0.webm This scene pretty much describes Violet Evergarden's animation, extreme 1-2 second close ups, and when that's not the case, the camera is mostly perpendicular to the actors, so that the animators won't have to work so hard figuring out the correct perspective and placement of all those intricate details in the characters. https://www.sakugabooru.com/data/930de751fef4783b040708b08037c7ac.mp4 Violet may very well be Kyoani show with the highest production values, but all those 'values' were misplaced and didn't hit the mark, the art, shot composition and animation are polished but very tame, nothing stands out, the direction is mediocre. I've found that most people praising the animation in this show are mistaking background art and character detail with actual animation. Indeed. People keep raving about how "amazing" the show looks - the art is certainly great, I'll give them that - but I'm not seeing what they're seeing. The show is quite static, and the characters are so incredibly detailed that what little animations there are look janky. It doesn't help that the colors have been washed by the ugly, dirty lens. I don't care if they are trying to replicate a "nostalgic" look; the picture quality simply looks bland. |
| Really love everything so far. KyoAni is amazing. |
| Good stuff. The broch is back. |
| "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." |
| Violet's letter was actually spot on lol. |
 |
| Violet is really struggling to adjust, I guess it can't be helped since she only knows war. I like Erica, she seems nice but I don't like how Violet became blunt towards her. Iris is the one who is gonna be difficult to get along with, but the others are fine though. I still find that content she wrote for that woman funny and really blunt though. Damn the animation though, its still out of this world. Oh man is this gonna drag on about Gilbert, because he is gone and that guy should tell her. |

| I understand that when there's too much hype over an anime it's going to to get some hate. Nothing is perfect and it has some flaws of course, but if biggest complaint is that it's slow paced, then it's just not your kind of anime, but it doesn't make it a bad one. I love drama when it's well done, and that sometimes includes slow development. I love being able to just sit and get lost in the visuals, the music, those little details like the sun rising from behind the clouds. I like that it's slow cause it gives me time to think about what's really going on with a character or about the real meaning of their words. I don't know, I'll maybe change my mind as it goes on cause as much as I like slow pace I like good stories better and we still have to see how it develops, but so far, I'm more than happy with VE |

| KyoAni has always been great in expressing delicacy and subtlety with detail, art style, and character design/expressions. That said, KyoAni seems to often have trouble carrying through. Violet Evergarden feels different. But it's been two episodes, and while I've been very impressed with what I've seen, I'm going to keep cautious optimism. On a separate note, I'd also like to see Gilbert come back alive. It seems highly unlikely that they would so strongly hint that Gilbert is dead then do the most asspull thing ever, but there's a slight window of him being in a coma or something. It would be nice for Violet to be able to end up telling him "I love you" (if she feels that way), but if he did already pass, it would at least be nice that she'd have appreciated having had him in her life. |
| Already noticed it during the first episode, but in many instances it's almost as if the sequencing of the scenes is made in a way just to remind you how pretty this show looks. Otherwise, it is incredibly boring. The premise had room for more, but the furthest this show is going so far is just toying with the ambiguity of the dolls being robots or not, or Gilbert being dead or alive. None of these two should be misteries up until this point, but considering how I accidentally read spoilers about one of those, I don't really know what to think of the story of this series anymore. |
 |
| Really sobering and refreshing episode, especially with that sad ending. Idk how people from that time were supposed to dress but the character designs seem kind of off with all the various hair colours/ethnicities. |

| Oh dear, they transformed Violet into Saber. Watching Violet's socially awkward self was almost painful. It definitely alludes what sort of a life she led before joining the company. At least Violet's companions are more proficient in that regard. On another note, while I love Takehito Koyasu's work, it is not without its caveats. As I just finished watching Stardust Crusaders, his performance as Dio is affecting my perception. I cannot help but to expect Hodgins to cry out "WRYYY!" in a frenzy. I guess I contracted the JoJo syndrome. |
| So when does this start getting good? |
| I'm loving the visuals of this anime hope we can get more of violet past soon. |
 |
| Whoa. That was a much better episode than the first. Jeez. From 6/10 to 7/10 real quick. Hahaha. Well, 6.5/10, so still stuck at 6/10. Hahaha. Anyhoo, I finally noticed the problem of most watching this, the filter or whatever foggish filter they're using hurts my eyes, too. It's too much. Please I have a poor eyesight now and I just got my new glasses, so stop, show. Haha jk. So, yeah, it's distracting and I'm forgetting how amazing the animation quality of this anime is. I just want to cry because I was expecting that this show will be somehow about a girl who's so empowering and yet we're stuck with a girl motivated to go on with life to figure out what the fuck I love you means and she's dead most of the time. Jesus. Pathetic. I honestly feel bad for people around her because of her faults. She's too straightforward, too, and yeah she's a dead girl walking. But props to her seiyuu, I love her because she voices Mikasa. Ugh. Pretty much what motivates me to continue watching this. Yui-chan's voice is just everything to me. <3 I really thought that this show will be about war or mostly action not this lame shit. It was so overhyped and I had a very high expectations on this show, so here I am dumbfounded on how disappointing this show is so far. I felt so robbed. Haha. It seems like this show is distracting us from how lame and pathetic the main character is and the plot, too, with the animation quality. Just like Shinkai's been doing. Haha. Nah jk. I don't think I'm going to drop this show soon. Will still holding onto this show. I hope it gets better because just imagine the amount of budget went to this anime then turns out it's a trainwreck. 3/5. |

Major_Gilbert said: Hibikase said: Lol, I accidentally clicked the spoiler tag. Wait so... is it true? Or are you just speculating? Have you read the 2 novels already? I had my speculations in the beginning so I was not so sure. The anime makes it seems that the plot point you are talking about is pretty set in stone, but maybe it may within another condition or context i am not aware of. But cool. Holy shit. Is this true? Hahahaha. Holy crappu. |

| I don't like so much this Saber 2.0. The filler characters of the episode are Iris, the mean girl and Erika, the shy girl. They are so boring. A character of the novel, Cattleya is just the second waifu of many people. And i still want to know the plot or wherever. The only thing interesting about this episode is the flashback. 2/5 |
