| So Ann will receive those letters for the next 50yrs, damn that mother is the greatest ever. I was touched by this ep and it was better than the others. Thank the lord they didn't show Violet's obsession with the major, I'm kinda tired of that crap that titty has been sucked dry already. Move on and touch people as a doll, most of all find your love not this obsession. I swear if it ends with the revision of the major story, I will give this 1 to -10. |

| Why the hell did I watch this right before going to bed tonight? WTF is wrong with me? And I thought the previous episode was emotional... Completely lost it when they revealed that her mother wrote a letter to her every year on her birthday. And Evan Call's soundtrack is incredible, by the way. Rivaling the best soundtrack of 2017, Made in Abyss. Oh, well. Guess I'll cry myself to sleep tonight! |
 OK WHO DAFUQ PUT A BIG BOWL OF F***KING ONION HERE? |
| wow, while i was expecting the mother to die soon (so it was a little less emotional than it could have been), i never expected that the letters were gonna be sent to Anne...and 50 of them? geez =O all in all was a pretty good episode, and seeing Violet crying at the end, saying she had to fight her urge to cry while in the house...was an awesome moment |

| I really can't remember the last time I cried so much with an anime. |
 |
| This threw me for a curve since the show as a whole really hasnt hit me with too many feels overall, and 9 was really the first to leave me with noticeable impact. The second Ann got that first letter in the mail and it said happy birthday I knew immediately that every letter was going to be for her and I started bawling. I had figured at least one letter would be to her, but it definitely took me by surprise when I heard happy birthday. God fucking damn, that was sad. And to think I watched episode 12 of Yorimoi right before this too. Fuck me man, I was not prepared for the night I was gonna have when I sat down to watch these. |
| MF'r! I was on panic mode when I thought they time skip and nervously I would see Violet as an obaasan! damn thank god I was wrong. It was all an future imagination of Violet... got me sweaty hands there. |

| At first I was so annoyed with Ann because I know those letters were for her, but i love how her possible future was shown, it was so beautiful, plus the husband and baby, a beautiful ending for her. I was alright until Violet cried at the end, so I can't stop thy tears as well. I love this Violet, the one who understands and feel great level of emotions. She's growing more beautifully. |
 |
| Hands down the best episodes so far. Whoever did the voice acting for Ann, really hit it out of the park, especially the parts where she was crying. Can't find Ann's entry in the staff list, but her voice sounds a lot like Tomoyo Kurosawa's to me. And then came the reveal towards end. Also, pretty ironic the best episode of the show barely had anything to do with the main cast. |
There vast difference between the novel and the anime, Violet Evergarden as a character is actually quite complex in the novel compared to the anime, why these decisions were made is anyones guess, I suppose Netflix and KyoAni wanted to streamline everything. Also in the novel there explicit scenes of war, nudity of Evergarden herself which okay I get it, you would not want this to be R18 rated sure fine, censors exists though. The anime also is completely in the wrong order, the novel had a very nicely buildup to the "current day" arc which is the second book takes place I wont spoil anything from that one. But the anime seem to mix the first and second book together which makes no sense, there no coherent buildup anymore, this was most likely made because the director is inexperienced which he is, he is not a good director imao. Both novels are translated by fans into English I highly recommend anyone read them if they really like Violet Evergarden I found it vastly more emotional than the anime which makes it hard to get to know Violet because its simply just so stupidly put together still I really enjoyed seeing the scenes put into animation that were actually following the book. There is a scene were Violet kisses a dying soldier whom she is writing a letter for, in the newly released episode 11 that was removed, in the book she kisses him on the mouth because its his dying wish this made Violet seem like she had grown into a mature woman a stark contrast to what she used to be, a soulless child soldier who just followed orders like a robot. |

aiem said: Novel is translated and is easily available. You know that someone can easily see through your bullshit with regards to this episode. Which means you have not read the novel at all, most likely because you are a lazy hating American, oh WOW, who could have guessed? Seems pretty normal coming from your country! Prove me wrong, the order of which things happens is VASTLY different from the novel, almost all the episodic arcs are different from the novel they are not a direct translation. It is for a fact that we who actually READ the novels realise that Violet Evergarden the anime is not an adaptation but it is BASED ON the novels. There is a difference you know or do you even know what that means? |

| I figured the letters were for Anne to read after she passed, but one for every birthday was such an amazing idea. There's something similar to or just like this this in another story, but I don't quite remember where I remember this from... Violet crying at the end there really shows us how much she's grown since the start of the series. Watching her throughout these past 10 episodes have been such a wonderful experience. |
| its hit me. last time i crying is watching harutobi no mori e. now that damn feels is back again. Best episode of VEG |
 |
| Damn this was too emotional. I really had to hold back my tears for most of the episode. |
| omg Violet cried! This was a very emotional episode! so, all of those letters are for Anne's birthday every year since she won't be anymore with her mother...so sad! Violet is increasingly showing more emotions rather being the boring stoic Violet that acts like a robot! good improvement... 5/5. |
 |
| Best episode so far. It made me cry. 11/10 |
| That episode was hard to watch. I just had to put my dog to sleep not even a week ago. I'm kind of regretting watching it now. |
| I'm no Weeaboo I'm Katsura |
| 20 years old and with a kid already, you're doomed my lady |
 |
| Quite the good episode to say the least. Although there are some questionable scene directions that could have been improved, the emotional impact behind the episode is my favorite out of all the episodes so far. And Anne reminded me how annoying kids can be. 5/5 |
| Back to normal proceedings, it seems? Welp, that was fun. Fabulously done, I commend ya. Though mayybe it was a bit too long towards the end, and I am not a fan of Chihara's singing, but there's just my nitpicking self |
| as soon as they shown that the mother was writing letters for her daughter the entire time, I bust out in tears. That is so beautiful and I kept feeling bad for that daughter. smh. and I love how each episode, Violet grows and learns more about emotion and feels more too. able to put herself in someone else's shoes and understand. She cried for that little girl. But, in the end, she did quite well for herself. All thanx for her mother's creative way of showing her daughter that she is still there. such a tear jerker :'( |
| This was literally one of the best stand-alone eps ever. Never once in those +-23 minutes I regret watching it, lol. Can't hide the feeling that it felt like a better story than Violet Evergarden all-together will ever be... Sorry tho ^^' |

| Once again, another wonderful emotional episode T.T I have cried on several episodes. |
 |
| Damnit KyoAni, you wanna kill me or somethin? This is some 10/10 stuff. |
I witnessed a loli spill from a cartridge and somehow retained my sanity. |
| I'm not crying...you're crying...shut up! :( |

| Possibly the best episode of this season!!!! Very sad, just think that a kid can lose his father or mother (in this episode) just with 8 years, is very horrible!!! The letter was a great idea, but a sad idea, because if you think that you are mother/father what you will say to your daughter!!! How i said, the best episode of this episode....if Violet cried, i cry too!!! |
| Oh man... This episode got me in the feels. I teared up at the end when Violet started crying too. Even after her mother's death, Ann will always get a new letter from her mother, every year for the next 50 years of her life. That's probably the greatest gift she can get from her mother. A letter, every year... :'') |
| I ended up literally sobbing in this ep. Def. my favorite ep. so far! |
| Don't remember the last time I was crying this much while watching anime. Even though I saw the twist coming about halfway through this ep! I was prepared for the incoming feelz, and yet lolnope, I ended up not only tearing up, but weeping, like this was my own mother T^T And later seeing Ann growing up, ughhh, I can't take it anymore! |
  |
| I hadn't teared like this in years. This one hit hard |
| This episode hit a little too close to home cause right now I'm in the hospital it's my 5th day here. Looks like I'm gonna live but being here really puts life into perspective. |
 |
| holy.. i cried like a damn baby |
| Wow. I think this episode is going to be in the running for most emotional episode of anime ever. Maybe even more so than the Mitty episode of Made in Abyss. Hrmm. Maybe not. That one is a real gut-wrencher too. What do you guys think? Have you seen an episode more emotional than this one? |

Hope you made it through okay ;-) Go watch an episode of Gurren Lagan or something! ( not that episode though!!! :-P ) |

| Violet bonding with child....loving it....and how she broke after returning from the job.....tough Personally I would cry too after that....making the mother's letters to the daughter and sending them to her after she passes away for next 50 years? I am not shamed to say I am crying. |
