| I liked the anime adaptation better than the live-action movie being the former more faithful to the spirit of the novel. One of my little complaints was, judging by the scenes showed during Get-along-well-kun was reading Sakura's will, that the scriptwriter of the anime didn't seem to get how the the story of the Little Prince taming the fox connected to their relationship being there perhaps not even one moment referring to that part of Exupery's novel. |

| Very beautiful movie I must say! This sure had a really wonderful story and while that death was quite of unexpected in terms of the story in my opinion and rather stupid/sad in another way, it was still really well laid out in this movie. The character development especially was quite amazing, and I really loved the progression with all the characters in this story. All in all this was a pretty lovely yet sad movie! |
 |
| I was not ready for the feels. This anime is a tragic friendship and love story.It was beautifully animated and i tear up when Sakura die even if i know it would happen. Sad they didn't even share a kiss and nice to see how Sakura change Shiga to become more open to the world. |
| Not a bad movie. Really enjoyed it. Loved the firework scene. |
 |
| Welp, with some of that "foreshadowing" I somewhat saw that twist coming, but still, literally why. Everything after was quite tedious and in-your-face, Shigatsu all over again... |
 |
| i thought its kaori v.2 lol |
| "Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live." - Norman Cousins ( i quote this from someone who quote this 1st) This movie started with low-normal flow of story, with sakura effort in showing how beautiful and wonderful interpersonal relationship is. by asking haruki to fullfill her wishlist, accompany her, etc. and i think that's enjoyable for me looking haruki development as a social being ( because of sakura efforts and purpose on spending/doing everything as long as she can with haruki certainly). I'm pretty sure, i really felt the emotion of joyness and sadness in there and made me sink deep into thought... And finally in anti-climax or toward the end(including the end/epilogue), i felt the hidden gem of this movie, the message that being mixed up in the emotion while watching this amazingly beautiful and meaningful.(as quote above said) well, since i really good at not being a tearjerker (a lil bit actually since i watch it in the cinema :D), but still this movie is greatly emotionally and has a deep wonderful message, and i could say the message might affect my dark life lel :D well done sumika with OP,END, and the insert song. they're really beautiful. overall everything that i said are mostly subjective from me personally, really a great movie glad i can watch it 10/10 for me. |

| @r16fourarm - The murder was actually foreshadowed at least once throughout the movie. I wouldn't call it "out of nowhere". |

| I thought so at first but I think it really was just some random serial killer that was never introduced? Having her die off screen from a random serial murderer that might have been shown on some TV program just screams lazy writing to me. It's as if the writer didn't really know how to end a story with a terminally ill young character and thought it was best to have a serial murderer kill her off instead. I honestly thought the movie was average up to the point where this happened. It just made it all the more worse. |
zamandzoe said: @r16fourarm - The murder was actually foreshadowed at least once throughout the movie. I wouldn't call it "out of nowhere". well, you're right about that. The murder case has been shown at the TV before and was actually foreshadowed. sorry about my "outta nowhere" words, it just my over expressive words towards the murder that IMO felt so sudden to me ^^. |
| Felt like there were some small flaws in it but overall really good movie. 10/10 |
| Ehhhh could have been way better than this |
| This is the worst anime movie that came out this year |
| This is a good movie, but it was not sad as everyone said. Atleast it was much better than shitgatsu. |
にゃんぱす! |
nyanpath said: This is a good movie, but it was not sad as everyone said. 1) Not everyone. 2) It wasn't sad. At all. Actually, it was kinda emotionless. Like #80 has said, it was actually the worst anime movie this year. I don't get why people praise this one. Rather average work. Below average even. Look, if you think this is good, go watch Maquia. And now THIS is how you show emotions. |
| I'm a bit disapointed about movie's end, by the way, I loved little prince scene, was extremely cute within the tragedy |
| Today I just did a double feel train in a row. I watched Sayonara no Asa ni Yakusoku no Hana wo Kazarou and then this. Gosh, my heart! But I really like this over some of the other similar genre. It's an amazing story crafted with inclusive of different emotions. I put myself into the character's shoes and am is grateful for this production. Thank you Studio VOLN! |
| It was good but I have some issues with the movie. *I felt that it was a bit short. *Kyoko is annoying and even harasses Shiga. At least, she is a bit better in the ending. *At first, the relationship feels a bit forced. Despite that, there's some good things: *Sakura's sudden death was a bit surprising. *The message of the film. *The emotional part was well done. 7/10 for the movie. |

However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| completed this a few days ago and i don't get why it's rated so highly. the plot twist at the end sucks because she was going to die anyway. also that scene where the guy was on top of the girl was the most uncomfortable thing ever... i liked the girl but the guy was just weird overall. |

aLotQuestion_ said: Koshi_Inaba said: I'm posting a spoiler from the sequel novel that was given as souvenir from theaters in Japan during the movie's release Ahh I see, so it was the gum guy. That visit grave scene was confusing. By the way, I got something that I don't understand. Regarding Sakura's ex boyfriend during Junior High. There was a scene where Takahiro and Haruki are fighting in the rain. Haruki then ask Sakura whether if he was her ex, although Sakura didn't admit head on but remain silence, I take it as a "yes". Sakura and Kyoko were friend since Junior High and Kyoko also knew who was the ex boyfriend. However, when Takahiro made his first appearance by borrowing Sakura a CD, Kyoko said why don't you date someone like him. If Takahiro was Sakura ex boyfriend, there is no way Kyoko will say something like that. Was that a mistake from the author or Takahiro wasn't actually Sakura's ex? That might have been her other friends saying that, Kyoko was quiet looking at him unhappily during that scene. |
| Well, I really enjoyed this. Wasn't perfect, but nice. The fact that the girl died that way was so unexpected to me, and it gave me a sad feeling in a darker way, compared to the bittersweetness I'd feel if she had just died from the disease while still enjoying her time with Haruki. Also liked how at the ending he made sure to become friends with Kyoko, showing Haruki was trying to make Sakura's last wish true (even if not directly shown as a wish in her diary). |
| Great movie, and it sure hit me right in the feels! Shigatsu-vibes from the very start and the alike bittersweet ending just rekindled back all those emotions and tears. I finished the movie earlier this morning and even after waking up, it’s hard to move my thoughts and feelings away from this movie. Some really strong messages about living in this movie, and those were really impactful and genuine in my opinion. It was truly wonderful how the movie managed to keep up that very theme throughout the progression of the show, and for that I’m very grateful. Storyline of the movie, however, was a bit patchy at times but still superb nevertheless. Haruki admitting that their encounter was the last thing from being a coincidence and just that whole moment of realisation was beautiful in essence. Sakura and Haruki’s polar opposite personalities mingling was a great touch from the very start and it was a very delightful watch in this regard. I could tell from Sakura’s persistence that she was already interested in Haruki, thanks to Shigatsu, but even then the presentation of that scene was top-notch. All those vacations, hanging around and even the visit to Sakura’s house and the circumstances of it really hooked me up into the storyline and the characters, in particular. Haruki’s progression as a character from super antisocial to a socially acceptable person by the end of the movie was very heartwarming, but the buildup to it was surely heartrending. Sakura’s unexpected death was a big shock but I’d like if they showed more of it, somehow it just feels like the writer wanted to surprise us big time and couldn’t think of a better idea than to making her get killed by the anonymous murderer(that is if it that very person, in the first place). Some closure in this regard would’ve really been so much more appreciable. Moving on, a few either characters were introduced too and honestly this Department imo was a bit below par compared to the other departments of the show. Kyouko’s overprotective stance was understandable and the final scene before the ED kicked in was very bawling, but it just failed to convince me fully sadly. My impression of her became a little better when she got along with Haruki in the end there though. Gum guy was nice but it’s sad that we hardly got anything of him(by the way, in the very finale, I’m assuming Haruki meant Kyouko and the Gum Guy by referring to the guy as ‘him’) and his involvement was more or less like a plot device to show Haruki’s growth. Still a very nice addition, nevertheless. All in all, it really was a nice short cast to get the point across. Haruki’s tears in Sakura’s house was easily the most weeping moment of the movie, but it was nice to see how Sakura predicted correctly that he would be a bit late(poor lad, it took him 10 days) to catch up to the reality. I knew from the hospital scene earlier that she would request her mother to give her personal diary to Haruki so that wasn’t too surprising, but still impactful as heck nonetheless. Great stuff! Production value invested to this show was pleasing to have! Animation of the show really delivered and glued me to the screen when it wanted to but some of the shots was a bit odd every now and then. Kyouka’s message being presented in a very artistic manner was really a great choice of presentation, and I enjoyed it immensely. Sound Department of this movie was really good throughout too, but none of the insert songs were really memorable after finishing the movie. Op sequence was really amusing too. All in all, these two Departments were really great and managed to do more than enough to evelate the intensity of many of the scenes for which I’m truly grateful for. -> Overall: Solid 8.25/10. I’ll definitely check out the live-action movie soon to see more of this glorious story! |

| Kimi no Suizou wo Tabetai >= Kimi no Nawa IMO it is slightly better. |
 |
| I was expecting some YLIA ending but the damn plot twist really did me in. Even if people say it's cliched this movie was amazing. I really liked the songs and the VA for Sakura felt perfect. Haruki's VA didn't seem to be anything special but I think that really captured his personality. I'm so glad I got hooked by the title into checking this movie out. |
 |
| I really like the movie. Yes the plot is pretty simple and ppl can predict most part of it but it doesn't need many plot twists or special to be a good movie. Violet evergarden stories are pretty simple but it can still evoke emotional moments, it is all comes to the certain memories or personality connects people. If you are connected to the main character Haruki then you will probably have a very deep connection with the movie. Some people feel it is emotional and some aren't it all comes to personal so if you feel like it is not emotional and curious about why others cried so much here's your the answer. For me, I can really relate to Haruki and I cried the whole movie. Sakura rip TAT |

| Desperately awaiting for a spin-off maybe called " Kimi no Ketsu wo Tabetai ". Like come on Japan, I know you can do it! PS: I know about the existence of hentai, yes. |

| @Bawse - Some things are better left untouched. |

| One thing I hated: "how" she died. Didn't match with the way of this movie. Her death was silly. Besides, a great movie. |
| @rodolfoemiliano - I can offer a quick explanation for why it was a bit "off" the death was. Spoilers for some novel details that weren't included: I'll admit that it may not make as much sense in the movie, but in the novel, it fits with the theme. |

| @zamandzoe I see... In the movie, his perception you described is not explored. |
| I guess if was worth the hype. I was somehow sad but at the same time it wasn't because you already knew how it was gonna end. I could see her dying while on the way to the Cafe as soon as he sat down and started texting her. But the movie did tackle some interesting themes and made me think a bit about what living really is all about. Haruki and Sakura has some great moments together during the movies 148 minutes run, and somehow this is one if the only times that I didn't need a kiss to seal the deal. Because as Sakura said, their relationship couldn't be bound to words or bonds like friendship or love. A strong 8/10 in my book. It has some flaws and isn't an emotional train wreck, but it's still a very good movie! Will definitely re-watch sometime in the future Also, I guess that means that Maquia was officially the best Anime movie of 2018! |
