Hakaminah said: I wanted to stay positive but somehow this series managed to put me off with this episode. As a person who is really sensitive to drama, I just watched the whole ep with straight face. It would be the worst one so far if not Benedict and his shoes. still 2/5 finally i found the comment that resembles my thoughts. i haven't been touched at all, despite all the sensitive music and crying scenes, somehow it still feels kinda empty to me, seems like a generic post-war drama |
 |
| honestly, going in without any expectations and after first 3 episodes i was expecting something similar to the movie "Atonement", but nope, not even close i was hoping to see more conflict, like the blood-stained hands one, but it's shown so weak.. |
|
| This anime is fucking amazing. Like my god everything Violet is going through. SHE WENT TO THE DAMN CASTLE!!! Shit man that's crazy. Then her melt down when she basically tried to strangle herself made me shoot up and be like "No...NO DONT DO IT!!!!" The fucking music too, my god amazing. The character development for everyone is flawless. They even managed to make the old man relevant as well, with him being all wise. Everything finally came back together. The prince and princess had ALL THE LETTERS!!! SO GOOD! My one concern is if the anti-peace people were there just for Violets sake or if we will actually see some development from that. Im intrigued. basically a flawless episode. |

There has not been any announcement. When they mentioned there will be 14 episodes, someone assumed it would be the conventional 13 + 1 episode bundled in BD/DVD. However, I have checked later on the official website and twitter that the episode count is 14 and the BD/DVD will have the following counts: Vol. 1: Episodes 1-3 Vol. 2: Episodes 4-7 Vol. 3: Episodes 8-10 Vol. 4: Episodes 11-14 Petalview said: Aren't there a lot series from Kyoani with sequels? Yep, you are right. More notably all but one of KyoAni owned shows have had sequels (TV series or movies): Chuunibyou, Free!, Kyoukai no Kanata, Tamako Market.

| Why is the blonde mailman wearing high heels? |
Daniel_Naumov said: Misiakk said: Why is the blonde mailman wearing high heels? I think something has to do with that argument with Spanish Doll senorita, the typical "you have that easier" or something. He decided to show them the things are not so bad by doing the stuff while wearing heels, and typically ended in a failure. But he wore them in previous episodes as well. |
| I think its going to hurt the anime overall having it not end on this episode. Though I could be wrong. |
| I can finally say it, watching this is synanymous with crying, I cried so many times already. I just hope that this end-like episode doesn't spoil it. |
| It's not like I'm not responding because I'm shy or somethingbB-baka. |
| Just another amazing episode |
| I almost cried this episode ;_; too many feels! The ending was pretty funny... It felt like this was the last one for some reason >_> Love the ending song <3 |

| Wow...with Violet's hallucination/dream of the major on the bloody staircase chastising her, her outburst after she woke up, and even her brief attempted suicide by trying to choke herself with her own hands--you can really see her PTSD manifest. Losing Gilbert was a far bigger blow than losing her arms which she didn't even care about, probably from her conditioning as a child soldier. I wonder who was the new guy who threw away the bunch of mail...guess they'll just remain an unnamed disgruntled former? employee until they decide whether or not to elaborate on that. Benedict spraining his ankle...I say good. Those high heels looked hideous on him anyway. I think this was the first time they showed the old bearded mailman...don't think they ever introduced him or his name...that, or I'm just drawing a blank and can't remember. |

| Fantastic episode. Would've made a great finale. I'm gonna be mad if he's still alive. This show really picked up at episode 4. 2 and 3 were lackluster but now it's easily the best of the season. If only the bitrate/encoding was better. Lot of artifacting, especially in dark scene. KyoAni deserves better. Can't wait to see where the story goes. |
 |
| Looks like Violet has finally come to terms with the major's fate, and will live a life for herself. |
 |
| I'm glad I'm not the only one who has no idea why the hell we've got five more episodes. |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| Felt like the anime could end there.. this was by far one of the best episodes of the entire show and i haven't got so emotional like i did with this episode in a long time |
| That was an outstanding episode with a lot of emotions. The episode expanded on Violet's grief, which was less prominent in the novel, so really well done there. Last few episodes have been really good in my opinion, in comparison to the anime original content that was shown before these. |
  |
| Wow, what an insanely emotional episode. Superb direction in the last few minutes. It really felt like a series finale. I'm really excited to see where they will go from here. |
| Pretty weird world where people's arms can just fall off. Even weirder one where they don't bleed. |
| Why it felt like this was the last episode, I didn't cried enough yet C'mon |
| EL PSY KONGROO!!! |
| eh this kinda did nothing for me but i'm sure i'm in the minority when i say this , i just have a hard time being sympathetic towards violet and they tend to brush off the fact besides a few lines that she's killed a lot of people like a lot a lot and you could say well that's what happens in war but with the plot surrounding the "death" of her major it makes it hard for me to care , maybe i'd have a different feeling if they didn't have such a big focus on it and did it from the start and then go into her trying to cope with it during the doll work. parts were well done though others not so much... nowi'm thinking what on earth these other episodes are gonna be. |
 |
| poor Violet. but then she finally ready to accept the reality. |

Major_Gilbert said: Kamereon-senpai said: Honestly, the explanation of he backstory felt really underwhelming. It's kinda just "the bad guys are really bad" (eg: yeah just use this orphan little girl as a weapon and just throw her in a ditch after you're done) and the way she loses her arms doesn't really make sense. She gets shot in the arm (which is very unlikely to ever chop an arm off) and then a grenade takes the other one, which doesn't make much more sense. We didn't really need further explanation on how Violet became a soldier, how she loses her arms and how Major died, but: - for the soldier part, they don't really explain it. They just say she's super strong without further explanation, which takes away from the immersion and realism. After all, they could've just said she was normal and forced to serve for the army behind Major, it didn't really add anything tot he story that's she's a ninja. Also is there a point in making the guys who forced her into the army that heartless? That's just stupidly heartless, they could've just said "I know it feels bad but she's a real asset on the battlefield", but no, instead she's treated like cannon fodder when she's a superhero ninja. - for the arms part, they explain it, but they really shouldn't have. It's lame and we don't really care. Could've just said she lost them in the last battle and that's it. - for Major's death, more of the same. He died in battle next to Violet. That's enough to justify the trauma. But instead, they make him just stand there wide open in a rooftop and get shot. The development of the characters is pretty on point though. Violet learns and all, the other characters develop etc. It's pretty cheesy and nothing amazing but the art and the soundtrack really sells it and makes it great. Although I have a feeling that if you bingewatch the series you'll probably get tired of the over the top emotional reactions from the characters. At least they got rid of the huge battle axe. That would've made it worse... BlueSkylark said: I mean let's start of with my biggest complain which ties into my Violet Evergarden feels like a B-Tier stage play. I mean in a sense I can see the stage directions so easily in the first 5 minutes. First Gilbert gets shot in the eye (non-lethal) Then Violet runs towards him and shoots on of the attackers. Attacker 2 leaves the stage out of fear. Violet tries to pull Glibert to safty. Attacker 3 appears and fires one bullet at Violet. She gets hit and her arm falls of. Gilbert kills Attacker 3. Attacker 2 enters back on the stage and throws a grenade. Explosion. Next Set: Violet is seen losing her arm Gilbert on the ground. Etc. It just feels so inorganic. Besides that it does try to include the most amount of drama, while skipping over the logic. I can see why people think that is beautiful, but for me it completly breaks the immersion. I mean why do none of the enemy soldiers try to escape when they notice that they get bombed by their own side ? Why does the 3rd Attacker shoot Violets arm, when he has a steady aim, is a trained soldier and has a slow moving target in front of him ? Why does he only fire one shot at her ? Was he on his last bullet or something ? I mean in comparison Gilbert pulled of a deadly shot with one eye from the same distance and he needed to shot fast. Also how did Violet get to a safe space, while carrying Gilbert ? I mean she only noticed the grenade when it hit the ground right behind her. Also the explosion radius wasn't that small. Besides that how exactly did Violet lose her arm from that explosions ? Normal explosions blast of the arm, yet it looks like it was cut off. Even if it would have been a fragmentation grenade there should have still been some splitters in her arm from that. All those things sound small on paper. Yet if you notice those they break the immersion badly and the scene loses it's serious nature. I mean you could compare it to the first scene from Guilty Crown where Robots that had a target system couldn't hit/capture a single girl that was running away from them. Couldn't agree more. The execution of battle scenes has been pretty poor compared to the novel. If you're interested, I can tell you how things had taken place in the novel. I personally think the novel version is a bit better, but then again using the battle-axe is a bit too much... I'd be glad to hear your feedback. tbh the anime version seems much more realistic compared to the way you said the novel described it. |

| I think this is probably one of the highlights of VE so far. I enjoyed the direction in this episode as well as Violet's struggle to find herself. |
| Somehow it feels fast that she overcame that grief in a single episode, but considering that there aren't many episodes left, they managed to do it really well. I liked it that she received a letter. It was indeed weird for a Doll, but it was fitting. It was also great seeing her seeing "clues" about how her former clients are doing, and she witnessed how great things they achieved, and she was a big help for them. She realized that she was important. When she was looking at the flowers, and she decided to head back, her first step felt so powerful. At the end questioning whether she has right to live felt a bit late. I was expecting her not to question that by that point, but I'm glad Hodgins kind of tried to reassured her that it's okay. The only thing that still slightly pisses me off, that she was called "Violet Evergarden" again. In certain animes I'm fine with it, like "Naruto Uzumaki", "Monkey D. Luffy". They are fine, because those names are mentioned by people who just got to know them, and they acknowledge their heroism, etc. (That's the pattern I realized, and it's reasonable at least). Somehow in an anime like this, it feels really off that they keep saying her full name. A "Violet-chan" would be completely enough from people who already know her for quite a while. |

| Meh, it's getting more and more cheesy, spamming tear-jerking just because. That footstep was just a pretentious sign of moving forward or some literal shit like that. So Gilbert shows up later and then booooom~ it was all for nothing. Live happily ever after. Of course, now that I'm deep into episode 9 already, I sure hope that's not how it ends. No, wait, I hope that's how it ends just for teh lulz. |
