I also saw the person she admired as a figure, not a lover. Idk, it doesn't sit right with me, to say the least. I don't think it's braindead to have this perception. That was my initial impression when looking at the synopsis in theory, but it did not play out that way for me. You say she was supposed to move on and the movie betrayed her character development, but I feel as though the movie absolutely acknowledges that she had already moved on by the time it starts. Most of the development between them is about exploring the mixed emotions that would come from having someone re-enter your life after coming to terms with their absence. A lot of people talk about Violet and the Major having a sort of romantic relationship in which Violet keeps “simping” over the major, but I never saw their relationship that way. Their connection feels more like an adopted daughter/father relationship, which makes the Major’s detachment from society feel more related to the guilt carried by a deadbeat dad. Admittedly, I went into the movie with low expectations, because bringing the Major back into the story could’ve been done horrendously poorly, and the high rating the movie had could’ve easily been swaths of drama/romance junkies being swayed by forced tear-jerking. However, to my dismay, I feel like they handled this sudden plot shift with the utmost of respect and maturity. There were several times that it was hinted that the Major would be ridiculed rightfully for abandoning his colleagues, and it could’ve even happened with Violet too. So the movie was more of a way to show how Violet really would’ve reacted given the choices she had. I know we all want to say that having a second chance with someone we lost is unrealistic and improbable, but that’s not really the point. The point is about asking if you really were given a second chance with someone you felt you already lost, how would you handle it? |

Visually appealing, narratively illogical, and disgusting to a degree. I actually get where you’re coming from. I didn’t want him to still be alive, so at first I didn’t know how to feel about the movie. However I think her being able to reach him through a letter in a way words couldn’t was very thematic, and we got her whole grieving process in the show. It’s the best of both worlds and that’s how I came to appreciate it. I don’t like it as much as the show, but I think it’s a good ending for Violet. I will say it made me like the Major less. I get he had trauma, but he could have at least let her see him when she went all that way. Violet could do better than the major in my opinion haha I loved the series as much as anyone else here. But the final film was just not likable in the slightest. Could it be done better in its execution? Sure. At the end of the day, I took the series' core theme is about moving on from the past and finding your own place in the world. Violet didn't do that in the end. And yeah, Major being alive was not a good move in my eyes. |

| No. I mean, I like it for the feels trip. But overall, this movie completely betrays everything the series stood for (overcoming grief, moving on from the past, growing into a better person etc) in exchange of a rather, I'd say, Disney-esque fanservice ending that nobody except juvenile shippers needed. |
| Close to the bottom. This movie insulted my intelligence beyond belief |
LordSozin said: I hate this movie. A film that regressed everything that Violet went through as a character. Visually appealing, narratively illogical, and disgusting to a degree. Same opinion. I really liked Violet Evergarden TV series but this I hated this movie. This movie should a plot armor even in a drama. |

How typical. well, no one has a right to tell you anything about how much you would rate an anime. that's completely at your Liberty. But it is a valid point that your ratings can't be taken seriously because you seem to have a certain expectation from each anime to fan out in a particular way and when it doesn't you immediately just shoot it down. it's like you're saying anything other than the development that you expected in the story is absolutely tasteless and boring, which seems a bit childish and irrational. It's not your story to begin with, you're just the reader (or watcher in this case).... so maybe you would enjoy things more if you just didn't complete stories inside your head and watched things through till the end with an open mind maybe? I don't project my perceptions onto others. Not sure where you got that from. What did you even mean by completing things inside my head? I watched the film, and I saw the conclusion to be a betrayal of what the TV series was. The series set up certain elements and I expected to be executed. It's not in my head, dude. |
| Haven't really think about this, maybe like no.6~no.10? |

I don't think it's braindead to have this perception. it made it very clear they loved each other. Also, Violet did move on because she was able to get closure about the person she was seeking out. Something tells me you don't pay much attention when watching anime. Either that or you have trouble understanding most of what you watch so you just go with whatever comes to mind first and clearly it's all negative. I suggest rewatching Violet again and really pay attention. it's a story based anime so attention is required. I don't think that's it. The difference is between how you and I interpreted Violet Evergarden from the start. And clearly, there are others here who agrees with me. |
| one of my favourite 😘😘 |

| I loved this movie a lot. One of the few movies that made me shed a tear (or openly weep, but whatever). I do agree with some of the previous comments, which explain that the movie takes away from the Violet’s journey. However, it is acceptable because this a new story. The previous arc is complete, because Violet was able to move on from her past, and learn what “I love you” means. Now that she understands it, that journey is complete. So we get to go on a new adventure with Violet. This new arc is very powerful because now we see her in a situation where she wants to say “I love you.” The roles have flipped. Quite frankly I think it’s magical, and brilliantly well made. I would have to put this as my number one anime movie, at least in the top three. (My only concern is how much this movie holds up without seeing the series. I’m not sure, since I’ve seen the series and can’t possible forget it.) TLDR; Fav anime movie, and I think the change in “moral” is not only acceptable, but brilliant. |

| #11, not counting the Pokemon Movies. I still dislike what they did to Violet's character and still don't understand what sort of connection the first half of the movie had with the second. |

| Watched about 50 anime movies give or take, and I'd place this somewhere in the top 10 Maybe I was just overly ecstatic about Violet finally seeing Gilbert again, but I didn't really notice her character apparently getting butchered. I think I was slightly annoyed with her at point in the movie, but I didn't think anything she did betrayed her character. It was a while since I had watched the main series, so perhaps I kind of lost a grip on what her character was like. If someone wants to help my poor memory and explain what wrong they did to her character, it'd be much appreciated edit: Nvm, I scrolled up and sort of got my answer lol. Violet was a character that learned to let go of the past, but this movie made her hold on to the past. Although, it could still all be explained with one word: "love". If there's anything else that performed character assassination on Violet, I'm still all ears |

| Painfully a garbage writing of character development. |
Help! I need somebody. Help! Not just anybody. Help! You know I need someone. Helpppppp!  |
| Definitely not in my top 10, I absolutely adore the series but this movie did a complete 180 to Violet's character and spits on everything the series stood for. |
 |
| its pretty high, but not in the top 10. in terms of music, directing, animation its definitly top 5. but I wasnt a huge fan of the ending. i loved the whole arc with the ill boy (best violet letter arc imo), but I say it now: I wish gilbert stayed dead. the first 90 minutes of the movie were nearly perfect, but then it went downhill. even the ending hat its highs, but the lows were pretty low. |
LordSozin said: I hate this movie. A film that regressed everything that Violet went through as a character. Visually appealing, narratively illogical, and disgusting to a degree. I agree in general. the whole gilbert thing was so bad. i wished he stayed dead. also the ending implied they lived together like a couple, what is disgusting imo. espacially when you think about the fact, that gilbert found violet while she was about 10 and he was in his end 20s. and he fell in love with her when she was 14, while he was nearly 30. thats so weird, if you think about that he raised her like a father, teached her how to read and write and gave her her name, just to (maybe) bang her when she turns 18. thats some cheesy, creepy shit. But I have to say I still like this Movie, for the forst 1,5 hours. I really loved the ill boy arc, for me one of the saddest Anime scenes ever. But as I said, I totally can see why you hate this movie. for me the series finale was the perfect ending for the story. |
| I would rank this the 3rd as 1st would be akira and second to it being fate stay heavens feel 3 |

However, I'd argue that Violet's character arc wasn't finished at the end of the series. The show is about the importance of emotions, understanding them, and expressing them. Violet's job is to interpret people's emotions and help express them via her letters, and in the process learn more about her own emotions. By the end of the show, Violet may have understood her emotions, but she never expressed them. Despite writing so many letters for other people, she could never send any herself. She did write some letters during the show, I wouldn't say they count, considering the content of the letters, nor did they reach Gilbert. The movie is about finally expressing her emotions, her final step in her character arc. It makes sense for it to be Gilbert to, since he is the one who first expressed emotions to Violet, caused her start her emotion journey in the first place. Violet's final letter to Gilbert, expressing her love to him, marks the end of her character arc. The only issues I have with this movie are a) there is little, if any (I don't quite remember) explanation for how Gilbert is alive, and b) the way they found out about his existence was by pure chance. Other than that, I love this movie. |
