I am glad that you start watching Violet Evergarden. Please finish first this series before watching the movies. I hope you survive episode 10 without crying.
This show feels so different from any other anime I've seen. The style, the story, the characters... that's propably why I love it so much. If I had to describe it with one word, it would just be "beautiful".
The song that plays when Violet gets her brooch back is called, "Never Coming Back," and is probably my favorite song from the entire series. I have played it on repeat for more than a day and still never gotten tired of it.
Fun fact, heels are actually designed FOR men. “Wealthy men wore them to give them additional height, and when they rode on horseback, the heels clicked into the stirrups,”
The iconic blue/white dress appears, visually Violet is perfect. I really like the interactions between the completely different 3 AMD girls. Its such a beautiful series, Kyoto Animation really outdid themselves with this anime, it came out just before the terrible fire and iirc some people who worked this passed away.
The thing about this show is that even when you see where an episode is going the emotions always find their way in. It's so understated and calm, yet powerful, that it's impossible to put up any resistance, I think. Also I forget which channel it was, but there was a guy who had a long interview with a veteran who had watched Violet Evergarden. The vet talked about all the post-war PTSD issues that the show deals with and confirmed just how real it all is. IIRC the show had him talking about things that he'd never even shared with his dad, which I think says a lot.
I dont think they want to tell her what happened to Gilbert yet because she's still in a very fragile state, even though on the surface it may look like she has herself put together so to speak, they're likely afraid that telling her now would just break her completely.
One of the subtle touches I love, is that when Violet wants to feel something's texture, she holds it to her cheek or her lips. Since she can't feel with her hands. Unfortunately for us english speakers, there appears to be a slight translation error in that scene where Cataleya throws herself on Hodgins in the hallway, and every streaming source gets it wrong differently. (This is my understanding, I would love a native Japanese speaker to correct me if I am wrong): Hodgins' first name is Claudia, and Cataleya is saying how his parents were mean to give him a girl's name, and how odd it would feel/feels for her to shout a woman's name in bed (Oh Claudia!). Some subtitle sources and dubs seem to give the impression that Hodgins shouted another woman's name while he was in bed with Cataleya, and Cataleya is just being playfully annoyed at him for that. Which implies a whole different dynamic for both characters. Anyway, thanks for another great reaction. Looking forward to the rest. 😊
idk about how it was then but now its hard to tell by the way its written but it doesnt lean one way or another. it could be implied he shouted another womans name or it was hard for her to shout a womans name while in bed. maybe its just a problem to translate overall so it comes across she felt weird shouting a womans name.
So it's never mentioned in the show or movies but here Violet's origin: the major's brother was somewhere on an island when his unit encountered Violet who lived like a wild child. She never met humans before and saw them as a danger (because they probably were). She ended up killing everybody except the major's brother. Having survived, he captured her, and as sort of revenge took her back with him to use her as a weapon.
This anime kind of changed my view of thought towards real life, simply the inner emotions that could be expressed through letters were shown here very perfectly. What I can tell, as you watch this series further (especially on Episode 7, 10 and 11), you can understand how beautifully this series has brought out the emotions of people through its story.
Gilbert's brother's name is Dietfried and is a Navy Captain while Gilbert is obviously a major in the Army 😅 and yeah Gilbert and Violet's first meeting is heartbreaking, especially bc shes super young then even though shes young in present time as well. It's just sad to see what shes been through already and shes not even an adult yet.
I will never be able to wrap my head around the fact that out of all the places in the world... of all the terrible, greedy businesses and selfish, irresponsible organizations who bring nothing but harm to their employees and communities... that someone would choose to mass-murder the innocent artists responsible for this masterpiece.
@@xdemittx From what I've heard it was not because of this show. The crazy lunatic who did it said Kyoto Animation plagiarised him, taking credit for his work on Tsurune, another anime of the studio. Which wasn't even the case, btw. Then again, he is a crazy motherfucker.
@@xdemittx The guy who committed arson was delusional. He claimed they had ripped off something from a draft he sent to KyoAni's writing contests. Violet Evergarden was a winner of one of these contests. His draft never even got past the first round. Not that even if the plagiarism was somehow legitimate would it ever justify arson.
Fun fact before I forget, the language you see written on every letter in this show can actually be translated into English. It was created by running the real language of Tamil through a cipher. Fans have named this fictional language "Nunkish".
Aaaaand.....I'm tearing up by the end. I have only watched this season once, but, this story etched, carved, and burned itself into my soul. I even see Violet's face, on the right day, and my eyes will moisten. Roxy-tier anime.
Cattleya's name definitely tripped me up too - she's actually named after a type of orchid. It's pronounced "kat-lee-ah" with the accent on the first syllable, "kat" - I hope that helps if you'd rather not keep saying her last name.❤
I like to say I love your videos. I have kinda been putting this anime off. I am returned solider and I know how warzone PTSD can affect people. Me included but your community and yourself are put at ease. I am ready to tear up now
I loved this series from the get-go, but some have criticised it for a slow start. I disagree, but things certainly do crank up emotionally, so get ready! The series and the subsequent movies are beautiful in every sense of the word!
Fingers crossed for the favourite episode but I need to wait a bit tho :( I won't say it without making your expectation higher and spoiling anything. I will comment when it comes
I hope this isn't gonna be like Bunny Girl. I hope you get to watch the movie and post the video cuz I was anticipating Bunny Girl movie but unfortunately we'll never get to see that video.
No need to spoil episode numbers and put a bias on people and take away the surprise. I always hate when people do this. Let them go into episodes blind without hinting at specific episodes. When we watched it for the first time no one told us or warned us beforehand. We just went in them and it was great because we didnt know anything. You people need to learn that already.
@@teongreen5254 To forewarn about an episode won't necessarily mean to spoil, but to prepare for an outburst of emotion. If you've been following this channel long enough you'd know that it is what the creator would often prefer; to be forewarned about an upcoming episode that may cause an emotional outburst. Hate it if you should as I respect your preferences and how you spoke your mind about it, but you need to learn that everyone is entitled to their own preferences; what worked for you won't necessarily work for everyone.
Violet is a demigoddess abandoned in an island where Gilbert's brother acquires her, her fighting prowess, strength , speed and abilities are innate, it is in the Novels but is not explained in the show.
I think Violet's dress is so beautiful. I've been looking for the longest time for a royal blue dress of good quality to use as a base for a costume based on her outfit. So far everything I've found is cheaply sewed, or the wrong colour... I just don't have time to make it all from scratch, so I've no choice but search patiently for the right one. 🥲
violet’s outfit is so beautiful 😭 and the brooch🥹
I am glad that you start watching Violet Evergarden. Please finish first this series before watching the movies. I hope you survive episode 10 without crying.
Mikasa is same voice actor violet evergarden is Yui Ishikawa
@@icenico25 This is kind of a spoiler isn't it? Telling her specifically that Episode 10 will make her cry?
@@Betamaxx16 yea hopefully alana has already watched it
Bruh I cried at episode 3. What I'm getting into?? I'm watching this rn just to watch your reactions. Beautiful show. ..💕

I see your never coming back and I raise you the ultimate price. That one is my favorite
I love The Voice In My Heart so much
Evan Call's work here is just so gorgeous and close to the heart.
across the violet sky is my personal favorite
I prefer Violet Snow and the Ultimate Price
In 1802, Italian Agostino Fantoni developed a particular typewriter to enable his blind sister to write.
Now I want to re-watch this anime. No matter how many times I watch this, I can't stop appreciating KyotoAnimation for creating this masterpiece.
Can we appreciate how hard working Benedict is? Man is really travelling around the city ON HEELS.
Fun fact, heels are actually designed FOR men.
“Wealthy men wore them to give them additional height, and when they rode on horseback, the heels clicked into the stirrups,”
By the end of the entire series you're gonna realize how Hodgins is that absolute GOAT. Such a legend lol.
Hodgins underrated
fr he's actually awesome
I was able to meet his english VA last year in seattle and he was just amazing.
Fun fact: Claudia still has the two other plushies that he offered Violet on his desk. She picked the dog but he kept the cat and the bunny.
This show will make you in tears in every episode

this show is so emotionally loaded, at the end when the boss started to quivver I too began to shed a tear.

Yeah, it's a bit hard to interpret it any other way than what you describe considering everything that's going on in the moment.
One of the most beautiful and amazing shows i've ever seen. I'm so glad you are watching it, and I hope you enjoy!!!

It’s a horrific irony. On top of that, of all the studios and all the reasons he did it, it couldn’t have been much worse.
There are so many beautiful moments in this show. Keep watching, this show will shock you with how beautiful and emotional it is

Finally episode 2 are here 😍😍
We are gonna be seeing so much tears! Really good quality tears.
Oh, dear lord. This is one of my favorite anime. Get ready to cry.
Cattleya's name definitely tripped me up too - she's actually named after a type of orchid. It's pronounced "kat-lee-ah" with the accent on the first syllable, "kat" - I hope that helps if you'd rather not keep saying her last name.❤
This OST ,, Never Coming Back" always hits me
I like to say I love your videos. I have kinda been putting this anime off. I am returned solider and I know how warzone PTSD can affect people. Me included but your community and yourself are put at ease. I am ready to tear up now
The girls are just envious of his excellent taste in boots.
Did Miso make an appearance this ep? Yes!
I always get shock when they show her hand 4k HD 😅👍

I loved this series from the get-go, but some have criticised it for a slow start. I disagree, but things certainly do crank up emotionally, so get ready! The series and the subsequent movies are beautiful in every sense of the word!

Another VA fun fact, Violet has the same voice actress as Mikasa from attack on Titan
Violet is a demigoddess abandoned in an island where Gilbert's brother acquires her, her fighting prowess, strength , speed and abilities are innate, it is in the Novels but is not explained in the show.
plsss watch fruits basket🥹
when will we see oregairu ?
Still waiting oregairu :")
I think Violet's dress is so beautiful. I've been looking for the longest time for a royal blue dress of good quality to use as a base for a costume based on her outfit. So far everything I've found is cheaply sewed, or the wrong colour... I just don't have time to make it all from scratch, so I've no choice but search patiently for the right one. 🥲
Officially it’s Prussian blue, not royal blue
Episode 2 noic3, cant wait for the future episodes
