*This review contains major spoiler. Read at your own risk. I will also put the Violet Evergarden Series review here.*
Violet Evergarden Movie is the continuation of the Violet Evergarden Series which aired in 2018 that got tons of peoples attention and got a high rating. As I watch Violet Evergarden as my first ever drama anime, welp I cried a bit because the cry moments blends well with the artstyle and the background music. It caught many people's heart offguard and that's why it got a high rating and it is due to the great delivery of the story. The story is good that I like how Violet became an auto memory doll not just because she can get a place to live in but to express her true feelings too in words and letters so that she can tell to the major that she now knows what "I love you" means. Her friends in the company help her do that but as time goes by, she was told that major is now dead. She didn't lost hope and went to find him but failed to do so in the series and promised to herself to live a life in the fullest.
As per the movie continues that, the president told her that major is alive that Violet's blood ran down in her full body and became lively to find her major. She went to the whereabouts of major but not knowing what is he doing right now.
As she arrived to the place, she knew now that major is living a good life teaching children and helping the people in the village using a false name. The president went to the major asking him to meet her but refused and said that she doesn't need him or the other way I think. Violet went running to major's door but he didn't opened the door nor turn around to see Violet's face. They argued for quite a time just bragging that she need major and that she can't live without him but he is still not convinced so she went back to the company but major came sprinting to the bus that Violet is in before they arrive in the company. Violet jumped to the bus and ran towards major and they hugged each other and said I love you to each other. after the movie credits, there is a bonus clip where Violet and major is living under the same roof and there was Violet being pregnant?? idk but that's what I saw.
KyoAni really got a huge compliment because of how beautiful this anime franchise is. The art is very peaceful and at the same time, detailed and beautiful that it really blends well to the story delivery and got points for having this a high rating. The sound fx is also good too specially the sound fx of Violet's mechanical arm and the sound fx of the typewriter that its satisfying on how peaceful it is. The OP and ED is a banger its just out of this world. Considering other drama series OP and ED which kinda matches the theme of the series (I made this review after watching tons of drama anime) but Violet Evergarden's OP and ED can't be equally match to them. It exceeded them. They also became iconic that once you hear the OP or ED, you remember the whole Violet Evergarden series and kinda cry once again. It's also one of my fav OP and ED in anime franchise. The character design and character development is very good. The design is very much expected from Kyoto. Its beautiful, no flaws, and very iconic. My fav in this is no matter how the story tell us that Violet is a kid, we consider her as a grown adult except showing the height differences. I think this applies to everyone. Because her character design is not a character design for a kid, Its literally a grown adult no matter how I see it. I kinda got convinced that Violet is 18 but I still see her as a grown adult. The character development is also good. I also like how Violet's character improve from being an emotionless walking flesh doll to being a real woman but I really like the emotionless Violet than the womanly Violet but its gonna affect the whole story if Violet is still as emotionless as the first episodes of the series and its gonna have a low rating because of how bad the character development is.
Overall, I really enjoyed it but I didn't enjoyed it as much as I could because of how bad the watchplace is. Im not gonna put it in details but I will say that it has grass. Not plastic grass. I hate how I got called out in the last 7 mins of the movie and it adds to the reason of the low enjoyment but Overall, I'd still say its a 10 but considering the watchplace, maybe 9.5. I really might watch the other movie because I just searched up that its canon.
