| I really appreciate how well this episode shows the impact of Violet's previous adventures on her at her lowest point. Rather than the over done, "Look, every forgettable side character is hear to cheer you up," scene, Violet reflects on all the people she's helped, all the emotions she's witnessed, and finally begins to connect the dots to her own worth. Also, I fully expected the line at the end to be, "We can't erase that past, but perhaps, we can write the future," or something like that. Not sure if I prefer the less overtly poetic reality haha. Regardless, its raw and beautiful, and I'm honored to have watched it. Now where will the show go from here... |
 |
| am i the only one who thought the way her arms were ripped off was a bit absurd? |
| Emotionally beautiful episode, Violet just showed some emotions she never knew or fully understood and it was a truly amazing to see them troughout the episode. |
| I was tearing up when they showed those who have encountered & received Violet’s help......and bawled when they showed Leon. What a beautiful anime. I’ve been captivated by Gilbert & Violet’s story since the very first episode. The scene at the festival/market where they chance upon the emerald brooch is my favourite, it’s so beautiful. And their battle scenes are so hauntingly sorrowful. Gilbert was such a great man. I really want to see more of Gilbert & Hodgins. They are both so fineeeeeeee. So is Benedict. |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
| That was so powerful. I usually don’t cry a lot. But this episode me tear up so much. |
| what a wave of emotion violet felt this episode. but did no one in the evergarden house hear her having a breakdown??? lmfao |
| I don't know why they made it seem like this was the last episode, but it was really cool either way. |
| I am not a weeb, I simply enjoy 2D girls |
Mom and so sad is this episode, yet we have a happy ending. That guy after he got a chance to survive he still attacks. 😞🤬 However, weak souls like Violet's are extremely easy to influence and it is sad. 😭 |
| Depressed Violet is something I never want to see again. I'm glad she was able to overcome her depressed state thanks to the power of letter sending. The old man is the MVP of the show. Bless that old man. Whelp, it's fair to say, after being given a visual example of it, the chances of Gilbert being alive drastically dropped. How powerful was that bullet, geez. It tore Violet's arm right off, lol. |
 |
| The emotion I felt in this episode stands alongside my top 3 animes. Her questioning of weather she deserves to be alive considering her burns resonated with my past greatly to the point I had an emotional breakdown at the end of this episode. I can only remember 3 animes that have impacted me this much, grateful to bear witness to this anime. |

| This episode was really emotional and we saw first time when Violet really showed emotions. |
| they chose some weird ass music to play as she tried killing herself |
| Gilbert got shot in the eye and hip, while Violet had one arm completely severed by a single shot (that had to be a .50 caliber or something right?) and another arm blown off by a grenade. I'm surprised they both didn't die immediately from blood loss and shock. Also, is Violet still supposed to be 14 or something right now? I'm still not sure about everyone giving her crap when she's so significantly younger than everyone else. Then again, with the way she looks and acts, I keep thinking she should be somewhere in her early to mid-20s. |

| Really solid episode. I don't think I'm quite understanding the hype yet, but the visuals are beautiful, the message--kind, if not a bit contrived. Let's see where this goes~ |
IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED ODDTAXI OR SAIKI K I'LL BONK YOU IN THE HEAD |
| this chick survived getting her arms ripped of an still tried to carry the Major, WTF this chick is hardcore |
 |
| the episode of ups and downs |
| One of the most heartaching and heartwrenching episodes in this series! Nothing could ever come close! The audience can learn a lot from this series especially handling grief. |

| A quote comes to mind: Goddammit, Kayaba! I am sick! And tired! Of you kicking my heart in the dick!!! I love this show.That being said, not the best insert song ever. It didn't really fit the feel of the show IMO, even if the song itself wasn't bad. |
 |
| i'm never going to watch this anime again. hell, i'm never going to be able to watch this anime again... nah. probably will, let's not place any more denial on that plate. well. first of all: what the fuck. this removes years from my life with each and every episode, and this one in particular just slammed me on a life expectancy of a hospice patient. he's fucking dead. what more can this anime possibly do to me in the remainder. i find that the insert soundtracks don't impact me at all surprisingly, besides the ending "michishirube". even that, i dislike the singer's voice. i'd rather opt out of the inserts playing during scenes if anything. that's one of the few irks i find of violet evergarden. |
| Best think about Violet is how loyal she is to Major and will do literary anything for him. Episode 8 showcased her at her best for the most part, this one on the other hand. |

| surprisingly this episode didn't make me cry. I really felt for Violet this episode, she must be going through a lot and it sucks that she doesn't really have anyone to talk about this to. I can't imagine the heartbreak she's experiencing. |
 This never updates so that's cool |
| Didn't expect Violet to get over it that fast, but good for her. Felt pretty much like a last episode, wonder if we'll open up a new storyline next episode or if we'll continue with episodic adventures. |
| Gahhdamn, so many emotional moments by Violet which made me cry also |
 |
| The war scenes are stupid, full of idiotic scenes, enemy soldiers behave like stormtroopers from Star Wars, which made it difficult to get involved in the drama. |
| ...I don't remember this episode hitting THIS hard. And yes towards the end, I gotta admit, I cried a little. Every episode so far has been emotionally impactful- but not quite enough to move me to tears... but this one did. The colonel's answer to Violet's question just hit home. Perfect. Masterpiece. This has been the case for pretty much every episode, but now this one REALLY feels like the final episode. But obviously it's not; and heck arguably the best episode of the season is next. Wow yes this is not just a 7/10 anime which I had left it as; it's an 8 at the very least. edit: just a SMALL nitpick though, thought it was terribly convenient how both her arms got shot/blown off, obviously to make way for her mechanical ones. But that's not even my main issue; it's that Gilbert should've been able to survive his injuries if Violet was able to survive bleeding out from losing two whole limbs lol oh and yeah someone above mentioned the weird ass music during Violet's nightmare followed by her attempted suicide. I gotta agree on that one, didn't really fit; would've been much better off having no music at all. But other than these minor complaints, who cares. Again, episode made me cry. I can forgive any and all nitpicks or even flaws. |
