| This show is just tedious.. childish and illogical... i like few things though. hot Cattleya and that dunce delivery boy in high heels. i'm not even bothering thinking why on earth are they called auto bloody memory dolls and why pretty clothing is a must |
| see you, space cowperson . . . |
| I can't stop swooning over the visuals. This story is heading towards sadness though I'm sure of it. |
 |
| Another really good episode. It isn't anything phenomenal imo but the atmosphere is really unique and I like the slow progression, which gives more room to the characters. I think Hodgins should tell Violet if the Major is really dead, stalling would only make things worse. |
| was a good ending i guess |

| @TheDoggoneGirl You can make it much easier on you eyes by doing this: Toshiya0 said: It's actually not any filter/effect. Kyoani just made the mistake of encoding their anime in limited range colours (16-235), while most people have displays that support the full range of colours (0-255). They did this because it's a TV release, and most old tvs have limited range. You can fix this by using a 16-235 -> 0-255 shader in your video player. Like this:  |

Like this: It's actually not a mistake since there are blacks below 15 when looking at it from a YC waveform, that's an actual filter they thought would look good, but your solution mostly gets rid of it. |
| As pretty as it is really needs more fun to watch characters and dynamics. Lost a bit of appreciation to Violet the character this EP |
| Not really sure where this is going but still, great in terms of quality (visuals, music, cinematography). A lot of people is still complaining about Violet's character. What do you expect from a girl who was raised as a weapon? She didn't even has the chance to learn many different things normal for everyone. She was raised in military, in a country at war. Environment is essential to one's character. Just saying |

Just saying That's perfectly understandable, but doesn't directly correlate to being interesting or being able to lead the show etc. I imagine most people are complaining about that |
| Everything looks good.. yes yes.. Environment very interesting.. yes.. yes... there are some things that can be interesting for a story yes...yes... ...so when do they start doing something with it? :') jk. my opinion is just that storywise it could be so great if they put the same effort into story as they do with animation and visuals. not saying it will stay.. like this.. but it is still not very promising afer two episodes. Bút; they still have time to redeem. so lets watch! |

shanimebib said: icontinuetofight said: that's why i asked if the anime is original content already. the synopsys of the novel says the dolls are products and they can be manufactured. violet is one of them The heck?! You mean the one in MAL? If you mean the MAL synopsis then it's not correct. Whoever wrote that synopsis must have just come up with their own idea. There is nowhere mentioned that Auto Memoir Dolls are machines. In the original synopsis, the machine that is talked about is basically the typewriter. And Auto Memoir Dolls are those who provide typewriting service. I am translating the novel synopsis from the official website: The name 'Jidou Shuki Ningyou' (Auto Memoir Doll) came to be a long time ago. Dr. Orlando developed a machine capable of recording words from natural human voice. Although, originally it was built just for his beloved wife, it gained popularity all over the world; and thereon formed organizations those would lend such machines as means of service. "I rush to wherever I am needed by my clients. Auto Memoir Doll at your service; I am Violet Evergarden." a sweetly ringing voice with robotic beauty, parts from a beautiful blue-eyed blonde woman as if she jumped right out from a tale. Now I know where the confusions came from. thank you for the translation, this make much more sense |
| hmmmm i fail to comprehend the hypeness of this show the others are saying...true it is overhyped, but OST is definitely worth to mention. Visuals are stunning as expected! LOLZ Violet is very direct to the point. She obviously doesn't understand how it works especially in front of customers. Being in a Auto Memoir Doll service is no easy task. Just look at Erica, even she struggles on her work! Did I see that correctly!? Benedict a postman wearing a woman's high heels!?!? or is that a cultural norm/standard!? haha! Violet's total make-over just made her extremely beautiful! DAMN! She might be KyoAni's new goddess! 5/5. |

| Benedict best boy. Also, I think I like the Hodgins-Cattleya pair. They're so cute! |
| <show is obviously set in WW2 era Europe <characters eating Japanese cuisine ggwp |

Aguuus said: Well, did someone who had high expectations accept that it is noticeably disappointing? Nah. I expected something like that. Im not even complaining because it's slice of life, I love well done, slow-paced slice of life series when they serve some purpose. Like, you know. Force you to think about stuff, make you fall in love with it's characters, show you fantastic and well thought out world or just dazzle you with unique atmosphere. Violet Evergarden feels... empty. Pretty much everything related to this series has been already done - robots learning emotions, post-war Europe and stuff - so nothing can suprise you. Characters don't feel real at all, it's hard to relate to them at any level. We still have 12 eps, I know, but at this pace and with this amount of them it will be impossible to develop any of them (except maybe Violet because everything's about her development I quess). Right now it's a nice story with gorgeous art and fantasic music, but it lacks emotion, just like Violet. I doubt antyhing will change. Btw, next time before ya'll start calling something deep because it seems deep and shounen fag... friends dislike it, think about WHY it may be deep and what makes a series "deep". If you want to come across as smart, start beign more aware of media you're consuming. Please. I mean, every time I see people calling Violet Evergarden best anime in years something dies inside of me \ (•◡•) / |

| amazing art again, but too slow so far... |
| ... |
Aguuus said: Well, did someone who had high expectations accept that it is noticeably disappointing? I didn't expect much aside from nice visuals, but I'm still disappointed. lol This is turning out to be another kyoani tearjerker. |
|
| Obvious nod to Saber was obvious... but okay. I will say that I found this episode much slower than the first... it didn't really go anywhere. I mean alright it expands the world they're in a little more and we get more character introductions, but it just felt I dunno, stalled. I will admit while most people consider Violet a jerk, I really found her straightforwardness with all of her customers during her training rather amusing. I like blunt people, I kind of always have; so I have no issue with that part of her character. At this point I am still invested though, it's pretty if nothing else. |
| Welp Violet just ruined that lady's chance at dating her husbando. |
 |
| Jesus Christ, she is so straightforward lol. The music towards the end makes it so sad. I have a feeling, this anime will make me cry in the end. I hope it doesn't though. |

   Beautiful<3.... |
 |
| Another awesome episode with amazing visuals. Giving that green stone back to Violet gave me a huge smile. Rip his monthly salary tho XD. Btw that new dress and hairstyle are 10/10 |
| How she can write a love letter if she didn´t show her feeelings!!!! |
| like some of you guys said, this episode was really slow. however i found it interesting, expanding on the setting and the auto memory doll service. the new characters felt a bit out of place, coming in so suddenly and already having a few emotional moments here and there. that part felt rushed in contrast to how slow everything else developed. artwork is beautiful as usual and the music fits in well. i think we need some character development soon? |
| Boring again. Typical Kyoani nowadays. Benedict is cool, though. Best character. |

RealityRush said: destructo22 said: Thanks for some insight on this one. I have to correct my previous comment actually. Here is a write-up he actually did on that translation issue on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/7rh2ug/the_case_for_fansubs/dsx4iv7. So apparently Asenshi's may be a bit closer, but the actual Japanese lines are nebulous and when I listened to the French dub, they even translated it a little different as well. So it seems like a confusing statement regardless of the language. So, uhh, did they fuck or what? And yeah, that translation was extremely confusing. I'm hoping they stop dragging out this Gilbert thing, because we all know he's alive. |
| The character designs in this show are so nice. Violet is so pretty :) Music was great also. I wonder when Claudia will tell Violet what happened to Gilbert. It's cruel of him to leave her in the dark, and he definitely feels guilty about it. There's probably more to it why he can't tell her though. We still don't know what was going on when he was watching her as she was bleeding and battered up. Seems like Violet almost cried when she got the brooch back. This is a nice step forward for her. |
| After more than a months' hiatus from Anime, I've finally started watching this Anime again. So far, it's still very interesting. We are being introduced to some new, interesting characters, and Violet is still a bit emotionless, but she's definitely coming around. |
 |
| Its a good anime so far, Im gonna keep watching it. Violet reminds me of an autistic girl I knew and she looks like Saber to me. So she was a slave that was gifted to Gilber from his douchebag brother.....Hmm Is she even a human? Her letter made me chuckle. Gilbert dead confirmed y.y Ando said: I wonder when Claudia will tell Violet what happened to Gilbert. It's cruel of him to leave her in the dark, and he definitely feels guilty about it. There's probably more to it why he can't tell her though. . I think he wanted to tell her the truth in ep 1 but the nurse interrupted him. He hasnt found the courage yet to tell her.. |
| Beautiful. I love slow paced drama |
 |
| So basically people can read but not write? Huh. Also Violet's looking a lot more like Saber now. |
 |
| Interesting art to ghost writing letters, having to interpret meanings from a quick conversation. Also weird that they don't review the finished letter before sending it off. But I could see how that would just result in needing to rewrite the letters over and over again |
 |
| Violet's new look is perfect, she's sooo beautiful ;_; It seems that Gilbert is dead, but I still refuse to believe it. Ending song was great as well, I love Minori Chihara's voice <3 Can't wait to finally watch the opening! |
