The story was wonderfully done, they pulled off the "emotionless girl" brilliantly. The events connect smoothly and every person that hires her gives a little to the story. As well as coming up again, instead of being a one-time thing, and then you completely forget about them.
Kyoto Animations isn't well-known for no reason, they lived up to their expectations and above on Violet Evergarden. You can't tell when they use CGI, it's very well used. The details in the eyes, clothes and scenery are superb. I was in awe every scene.
All of the voice actors were well chosen, however, Violet's stood out. She captured the personality of Violet and played the part almost perfectly. It gave another level to the anime and wouldn't be the same if it had been anyone else.
The character development is amazing, it feels like you're watching real people flaws and all. It's perfectly paced, not too long you get bored, not too short it ends as soon as it begins but right on point.
I can see a lot of other people enjoying this one as much as I did, and overall it's a very well made anime. I wouldn't recommend it to watch with kids though, since there are references to the war and things of the like. I would, however, recommend it to anyone looking for an anime in an older-day setting, but not so far back you can't relate at all.
