| That was a massive improvement over the 2nd episode which I found way too dry with the glasses girl, this one really got to me by the end so Success! |
| Violet finally managed to write a letter. As she deciphered the feelings of another person, she took a step closer to figuring out her own. Luculia's help was truly indispensable (and vice versa). It was another heart-warming episode. |
| Proud of Violet. Am proud papa :^) |
 Three things cannot be long hidden.. ...the s u n, the m oo n, and the tr u th. |
| Still pretty boring. Nice soundtrack at least... it sets the atmosphere quite well. Violet learned to translate crying rambling into a sentence! |
  |
| Violet is beggining to grow emotions bit by bit, but I wished they read the contents of the letter to set a mood. I think this anime is alright but not great though, but the animation is still mind blowing though. |

| Very solid episode with plenty of emotions to go around. I loved the Opening Song, but did not like the voice of the Ending Song. Ill be skipping that from now on, that voice will never grow on me. |

Major_Gilbert said: So far, maybe aside from the first episode, the anime has gone its own way. I expected this to some extent, but with the number of episodes left this is not the time to leave the crucial plot behind. I know that this is to fill what the novel didn't concentrate on (Violet's path towards becoming an Auto-memories doll) but now they just don't have enough episodes to cover all of her adventures. Well they may be able to get rid of one which didn't look that important to me, but still, if in the next episode they don't start with her adventure it's going to get pretty worrying. Her adventures are the main part of the story and probably the most important. I really wanted to see Violet's first adventure... Also Luculia was a good character compared to Erica and Iris imo. Nice OP btw. maybe it will get a second season. Toshiya0 said: More fillers... Is the novel really short and they don't have enough materials or is Kyoani going for an anime original? whole point of the anime is to explain her beginning and what the LN missed out its not filler. |
| Afttermath of a war is really something that has different perspection throughout everyone. It really hurts to see those feelings of being not able to do things when you could do if you were there. An amazing storytelling in this episode which really shows that its not just about those fancy mesmerizing words that are worth but the words that come through the feel of your heart. A man is entranced by the actions of a woman while the woman is entranced by his words. Truly an amazing show that would both go down in history of anime as the best visuals and the best expressive storyline. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| It's rather paltry to let Violet pass just from one letter (which was quite literally what Luculia said anyway) without addressing her main problem of not understanding emotional expressions. Nice and poignant episode, but that graduation didn't make sense. |

Honestly I have found my favorite character design.. like.. the most beautiful ever. Luculia <3<3 on topic: Lovely episode. I personally loved this one the best. I love Luculia. lol. |

| Wow, Honestly quite a stunning episode, got shivers at the end. To be honest, didn't really enjoy the first episode but episode 2 and 3 have really pieced the show together for me and has a really beautiful feeling to it. |
| Well at least she can actually right a letter properly now. |
 |
| Wow Saber....I mean Violet wrote sorf of proper letter. She is evolving. Typical drama episode, but it is always working on my feelings. |

| Oh, so not-Saber-at-all wrote two lines of text and, du-dum, Luculia's brother immediately stops being a depressed alcoholic and everything's love and rainbows? xP Also, about what "deciphering people's feelings" are we talking about here? Luculia said that she's glad her brother's alive, Violet wrote that Luculia's glad her brother's alive - how the hell is that different from that time when she wrote literally what that one women said? |
 |
| excellent episode as always |
 |
| Luculia is a sweet girl. I really liked this episode, it's cool to see Violet slowly warming up to humans' emotionality. And the drama wasn't bad either. The OP is really good and fitting. |
| Please tell me Luculia will be a recurring character in this series. |

| I'm starting to like this show... How Violet isn't one of the graduating students at first is nicely done. Glad that she graduated in the end. Scenes with Luculia's brother feels so emotional for me since I can relate to some of their circumstances. |
SalmonSandwich said: Eanraig said: Really annoyed that every episode has been very predictable so far. And Violet passing just after one decently written letter is kinda bull... Agreed... I felt she needed to write couple of letters more. (Or at least imply that she did.) Violet needs to fail and struggle more to sort of understand herself and others more. The writing has had faults that I started noticing. Episode 2 where they didn't proofread the letter leading to the conflict and this episode with Violet passing after one good letter (which felt like a fluke even though it did come from her struggling to squeeze out genuine understanding and empathy.) Guess what it is really fluke, people think that she is understanding human emotions, but tbh she hasn't yet....the letter is just simple explanation of what Lucia thinks but for us as humans it means a lot, so violet hasn't made progress yet, thats what I think...:) and the op is really awesome especially when the flute part begins, it is sooo pleasing that i feel like im in a trance |

| I've watched this episode many times now. Still makes me cry. |
| Hate Keeps me warm |
| Honestly this was probably the best episode so far, it's finally starting to move somewhere. Luculia seems like a nice character, hopefully we'll see a little more of her? In any case, I'm pretty satisfied with the way the episode ended. Violet writing the letter on behalf of Luculia was done in a way that managed to carry a lot emotions, yet retained the short and direct manner that Violet tends to be. Just a slight move away from the report style writing, Violet manages to achieve a short and sweet letter that packs lots of emotion. |

vegeta8639 said: Fantastic episode. I wasn't too hyped about this anime at first but the more people hate on it for retarded reasons, the more I am pushed towards appreciating the good qualities and liking it even more. Best anime of 2018 so far. Thank you. Thank you my man. |
kirakiii said: xpforever said: i felt this ep was rushed afSo far the animation quality is the only perfect thing. This episode was good, but since it's gonna be a 14 ep. long series, there shouldn't be too many side characters. Instead, less is better with more development. Luculia was lovable though. Also the pacing is rather slow. Meanwhile other people complain that the first 2 eps are slow... ???????? |

| Ok that was an emotional episode glad to see violet trying towards the same direction…. Glad for her |

Anerinus said: The reason the letter was not some unique masterpiece that painted a vivid image of the emotions it was meant to convey, is because its goal was to demonstrate how effective Violets way of thinking can be at relaying someone's feelings. "Sometimes, it only takes a sentence or two to express one's feelings". The reality is, grand gestures are not the only way to show someone how you feel. Sometimes the little things have the most impact. All Luculia's brother needed was to read a few sentences from the one person he has left, telling him that she does not blame him for their parents death and that she is happy to still have him. Actually I'm not questioning the letter's lenght here (although I see it may seem that way). I'd find it equally unbelievable if the letter was two pages long. Yes, short sentences may and often are the most impactful, yes, the letter may had some effect on Luculia's brother, but I don't believe it would be enough to get him out of the state he was shown to be in and fix everything just like that. I am not saying that Violet planned for the letter to elicit the reaction it did, but she still understood what Luculia needed to say to her brother. Well, it would be kinda difficult not to understand, since Luculia clearly said it. Not to mention the fact that she went out of her way to deliver the letter her self since Luculia was not strong enough to do it herself. Yes, here I agree. It would be way better if they focused more on this aspect - Luculia didn't know how to talk to her brother and didn't have courage to do it, so Violet delivering the letter actually helped her in conveying feelings. This could have been the proof that even without passing the course Violet is suited to work in her dream job, or, if she really had to pass it, this could have been presented as the reason. But instead she gets praised for writing down something Luculia literally told her, as if she just guessed her deepest hidden feelings. Violet Evergarden, great Doll capable of deciphering all your feelings (as long as you spell them out for her) ;p |
|
| Oh man. Such a beautiful episode. I'm really glad Violet is starting to understand how to ghostwrite and that Luculia's big brother is once again with her. AHH I'm in tears. |

Bluntly said: Is Gilbert dead or alive? honestly I think they're leading us on to believe that he is indeed dead. 🤔 Most of the flash backs are of him bleeding out so like, I'm guessing he's dead. |
 |
| Great episode, and nice how Violet begins to understand feelings and making friends :) Love the OP btw |
| Average episode with a little bit of development for violet. still great animation quality |
| OP was great by TRUE as well as visuals! Violet has taken her first step into an exemplar Auto Memoirs Doll. She's improving slowly, still don't get the hype. but OST is outstanding. 4/5. |
 |
| beatiful landscape, but the story is kinda boring... |
| ... |
| This episode really felt like a much better than the previous ones. Really enjoyed this new girl Luculia, hope she appears more and interacts more with Violet, because she really needs it. I mean the interaction with other people. Glad that she is improving, slowly but improving. |

Lelouch0202 said: Definitely the best episode till date. I took a real liking to Luculia, I hope she's a recurring character. The part where Violet gives Luculia's brother her ghostwritten letter made me tear up, that was a really well done scene. Violet is finally beginning to understand the human heart. :) The final scene with Luculia helping her brother back to place with the scenic view was great and congratulations to Violet for graduating. It's often the simplest and most straightforward words that have the most powerful resonance within people. :) Pretty much everything I was going to say about this episode ^, haha. This episode probably saved the anime for me. There are still flaws, of course, but this episode actually connected to me on a more emotional level than any other episode so far. I only hope for more just like this! |
