I watched Violet Evergarden back in early 2019, and since then, I haven't spent a single day where I didn't think about it. It's been a while already, but I still find it hard to believe that Violet's journey has come to an end. I'm just so happy that I came across this anime and decided to watch it. It will always have a very special place in my heart.
I feel you man...
Yeah I feel the same
Yes indeed! Just a beautiful production all around!
I still have to yet to even watch this whole series.
@@itsblitz4437 just had to tell us that huh?
In a world where it’s especially hard for men to be honest about their emotions, whether it be the patriarchy, toxic masculinity, or ridicule from friends, watching this show made me cry and understand empathy like no one else could, and really changed me as a person and made me more emotionally mature, and I truly believe I’ve become an empathetic person because of violet evergarden
I definitely agree with this. There's such a terrible expectation that just because you're a boy, you shouldn't be allowed to feel emotions or empathy. You just have to 'deal with it'. It's such a toxic mindset and I'm glad series like Violet Evergarden can teach people otherwise.
Wow this comment actually hit it on the mark, you did a rly gd job expressing the felling tbh. Violet evergarden rly is a once in a lifetime experience.
Wow you perfectly summed up exactly how I feel all my friends never really seem to show there true emotions especially because it often times results in laughter and ridicule rarely is it ever truly Genuine. It makes me happy that there’s someone else out there who feels the same🙂
I became empathetic because of this show too.
i dont really know about patriarchy or shit like that. and i dont care. im just a dude who works out, and is proud of his body. and i still cried to violet evergarden. anyone who doesnt, either doesnt have a heart, or didnt pay attention. also. its getting increasingly easier for men to be people, becouse humans as a society are growing up. the only thing i dont want is some influencer woman, to lecture about toxic masculinity. thats our problem.
I too was initially really upset that Gilbert ended up being alive because the first season's ending felt so complete to me. It felt like some major themes in Kyoto Animation's adaptation were how to move forward through trauma and that your past doesn't have to define your future. Gilbert being alive felt like a huge backpetal on those themes and some others.
While I haven't completely come around like you, hindsight and your video have made me realize that his storyline in the movie does help strengthen some of the other core themes in the series, which I can appreciate. Either way, Dasy and Yuris's plots alone make me absolutely adore this movie, as did the continued world building.
I am thesame as you. Maybe one day Ill accept but I truly felt like Gilbert being alive is only done for fan service. It is a misstep for Violet’s growth. But maybe she cant really grow without him.
Ahh these are just some of my thoughts- But as someone who watched the series knowing Gilbert is alive, I still could see why people would be upset over Gilbert’s survival. However, I think VE theme had always be centralized around emotions, especially her love for Gilbert. At the end of the series, Violet only stated that she would tell Gilbert she finally understood what “I love you” meant if she saw him. I think her character growth was written beautifully, but I also believe the movie only managed to show that emotional growth much better. In the series, it displayed more of how she came to understand emotions, love most importantly, but never really was able to write/verbally say it out. However, in the movie- Violet was able to finally express out the most important emotion in VE, when she wrote “I love you” to Gilbert, which was a big step from initially just planning on telling him “I understand what I love you means” But yeah that’s just my opinion haha
ah i wrote a fking essay lol
I too was a bit mad but it was a momentary thing. They didnt faithfully adapt to the light novel. Bits are missed and the entire order of the story and a parts of it are anime original. If you read the light novel the experience is vastly different especially how the story is written, the anime was very much based on violet finding what "i loved you" meant which caused her to develop as a character and overall the romance aspect of violet was more heavily emphasised in the anime. In the light novel (for the first 2 volumes) it was also based on this curiosity to find what "i love you" meant but if you read later on past the 2 volumes you will find that gilbert being alive also helped her develop in other ways and honestly its quite nice and it takes it further than finding what "i love you" means. Thus i didnt find myself all that bothered by gilbert being alive but i can see why some will. But at the end of the day happiness is happiness and i was just glad violet got to find gilbert and does not hold the regret that she didnt save him and understand what he meant when he said that to her before he disappeared
It didn't really matter whether Gilbert was alive or not. What went slightly "wrong" in my opinion was how violet delt with that situation and how it felt like Gilbert didn't earned it, writing wise in the movie. That's probably the reason why I cringed a bit when he said stay with me to violet. With how the movie was executed as a whole, I would have probably prefered it if they met but also went their separate ways. But I would've also been fine with the original ending if they could've just built it up better.
When it first became clear that Gilbert is alive, I was honestly kinda mad, because the fact that he is not is what helped Violet mature and come to terms with her emotions (at least that is how I saw it). But apparently Kyoto Animations just cant ever fuck up :D. The best send off to a series I have ever seen.
yeah i'm with you, with somehow the major is still survive after a straight head shot, blood loss, and close hit explosive damage from a grenade. it's truly testing your limit in suspension of disbelief.
@@hayabusahithosi9587 judging by the audio design.. it wasnt a straight headshot. As you can hear a metallic sound before he started bleeding/falling. This is also prob why he lost his helmet after that moment.
My guess is that the bullet hit the inside of his helmet, shattering it, and shrapnel going into his eye.
In a realistic sense, his most dangerous injury was his arm that got blown off together with violets.
In all honesty, he had a way higher chance of survival than Violet ever did. (Losing both arms like that would cause you to bleed out in minutes. even if it had happened right next to a hospital her chanses of surviving the bloodloss and shock is close to zero. Ofc the same goes for gilbert but he just lost one arm)
And iirc, by the position of the grenade when it exploded, gilbert was covered alot by violets frame.
If your suspension of disbelief isnt broken by violets survival, then gilbert surviving his injuries should be an easier thing to swallow.
@@hayabusahithosi9587 people aith hese injuries can survive, just look at ww1. Albeit the death rate is still very high.
@@hayabusahithosi9587 he wasnt shot in the head... his helmet was hit, ricocheted the bullet away, but it sent shrapnel into his eye
They basically wanted to have it both ways. Gilbert is dead so we get to see Violet's reaction and the character development that comes from it even years later. But at the same time Gilbert is alive so we get to see the happy ending and Violet's journey be rewarded. Might not satisfy everyone but I was happy with the movie at least.
The Violet Evergarden Movie was such a perfect send off to the franchise and I'll never forget just how emotionally resonate this series is. Kyoto Animation made a modern classic that will be remembered for many years to come.
Hope you all enjoy and I'll see you next time! :)
You should try playing Cyanotype Daydream The Girl Who Dreamed The World, it's a masterpiece
It was a good wrap up the pinky promise was started me crying through the rest of the show, I noticed Taylor was in the group photo in the museum, fyi stop it so you can see it.
Yes indeed
@@Chode216 did you see the pinky promise at the end of the credits?
Correction: *that will be remembered for many years to come (to those who experienced it)
sadly that's only a few people!
Spoilers from the new movie, caution when reading.
You can just tell how much violet wanted to say i love you and how much he meant to her. All she could say was 'I' and 'major', the first words she uttered as a child. Such raw emotions. Someone who was raised as a tool, can cry so genuinely. The major who never cries in front of anyone else, broke down infront of the one he loves.
(Spoilers as i go deep into their philosophy)
He felt guilty, he felt undeserving of even touching her, consoling her after what he felt he forced her to go through. He couldn't protect her, he caused her to lose her arms, he couldn't give her a happy childhood she deserves but in the end, he still loves her. He couldn't stand being separated from her even a second longer, not being with her as she goes through life. He was afraid of what might happen to her and can't stand the thought of her suffering on his behalf. All he needed was an answer, he needs to know how she feels no matter, whether its love or not, and then he could die happily knowing she has matured. Thankfully, it was a happy reunion.
She was saved by him. Brought out of abuse, given a purpose and someone to protect. At first, he thought it was for protection but eventually both reliased it was out of love. She loved him ever since they first hugged, even before he confessed, he was the first light to her ever perpetual darkness. She would do anything to protect him. He is her first and only true romantic relationship she ever develops. No matter who else tried to charm her, she won't allow it because the one she loves has always been around her neck.
Spoilers. They eventually vowed to be together forever and never leave each other side. They affirmed that they are the only one for one another and sealed the deal with a kiss. Both are disabled. One lost both arms, one lost an arm and an eye. But if you asked them, they would unquestionably say it was all worth it as their impact on one another is and will always be priceless. They would do it again in a heartbeat.
Since childhood, he has a fear of loneliness. As a high ranking militant, he was sought out for status instead of authenticity. But now he has reunited with the one he loves and the same goes for her. If there is another season, it would dive into their respective insecurities as they have to spend time apart due to their respective jobs. Finally vented. 😞 Thank you for such a well crafted story.
My heart is still recovering from reading the novel but as the author put in the epilogue, remember no matter what you are going through, violet will be waiting. No matter the place, time or situation. She truly is extremely precious and a masterful piece of creation.
"The one she loves has always been around her neck" made me tear up
this is so beautifully written. I just … ahhh this anime has truly changed my life. where did you read the light novel? because i’ve been wanting to read it for years 😭
@@alaynawelker Thanks for reading 😊 You can read the entire series on Tumblur by dennoutranslation. You can start off from volume 2 chapter 13, whereby Gilbert and Violet were reunited on the train.
Spoiler but they reunited way earlier than in the anime/movie. The last episode allocated to Dietfried was supposed to be Gilbert's role when saving her. Though all dialogues in the movie from Gilbert are also in the novel as well.
A must read are Volume 4 chapter 4 and chapter 5 ever after, which are two of my favourite moments when the couple was interacting with one another.
Of course if any official sources are made available, do support the series in any way you can cause they deserve it. Have fun reading!
@@Assassink309 thank you so so so much!!
they kissed? seriously?
Great video, violet evergarden is def. one of my favorites too, I really enjoyed a silent voice too, might be my number 1 pick. Keep up the interesting videos
This show became one of my top 5 favorites too.
U have really pretty tastes
The movie/show broke me man, I just want Violet Evergarden to keep going and going, but this might be the end of it. It was such a good ending. The only other show that made me feel this was was Code Geass. Violet Evergarden will be my favorite for a long time.
I had never watched this anime, care to state this in a nutshell sir?
@@leibniz4455 idk how i would describe it but i do know is you are gonna love it if you watch it.
@@pokefanrohan2891 Okay sir. Imma watch it sometime soon.
@@leibniz4455 👌
@@leibniz4455 How is it? You love it?
I had the rare chance to watch the final movie in theatres, believe me when I say the hall were full and everyone sitting near me were sobbing every 20 minutes for the entire duration of the movie. The TV series felt complete, but the movie gave Violet a closure that she never had in the series. Thank you for your detailed analysis and kudos to KyoAni for one of the greatest story telling I've ever seen in an anime.
The person who got me into Anime now talking about the grand conclusion of what became my favorite Anime franchise. I’m in loss of words… Your videos are priceless, I just hope more people could see that one day and truly appreciate them for the masterpiece that they are, just as priceless as the subjects discussed within them.
Never Forget The Auto Memories Doll.
Letter Bee is underrated. It's also about the importance of letters but there is more of a fantasy and mystery element. Here's the blurb below
"Gauche Suede is on his last delivery before a big promotion. In the outskirts of Yodaka, the darkest area of Amberground, Gauche is surprised to find that the package is a young boy named Lag Seeing. Lag had been traumatized by his mother's abduction and is due to be delivered to his aunt. In this remote area rife with Gaichuu, Lag and Gauche face a dangerous journey that inspires Lag to become a Letter Bee."
Hearing you talk about Kyoto makes me so very emotional, I wish I had watched and understood Kyoani as a studio when the tragedy happened. Back then I had only seen Lucky Star. But now, having seen a good amount of their stuff I am so immensely grateful and happy for the studios existence and everything they made. I just wish I had understood it sooner. The connection you make with the tragedy of Kyoani and the plot of the film and show line up so well. This video only made me appreciate a masterpiece even more. Thank you for the Video Kevin. But even as I write this I still have about 1/3 left of the video.
edit: finished the video and it was amazing, definitely one of your best videos to me. It seems you really understand this film, series, and studio. Hearing the knowledge, insight, and perspective you being and offer on these topics is so very nice too. Excellent video Kevin, also hope you’re doing well. I abandoned my old twitter account for a new one so I haven’t seen you around like I used to
Thank you so much for the kind words! I am just doing what I do best, spreading the KyoAni gospel!
PS. DM me on twitter!
Honestly started tearing up, I didn’t realize the letters were used like that. In media today it’s hard to say what you really want to say, even out loud. But letters in the show mean everything to the characters and gives a really meaningful outlook on life
When I watched the Violet Evergarden movie in theaters, I started to feel so many emotions running through my soul that it was that powerful. KyotoAni has given us a wonderful gift and this movie also celebrates their grand return. After seeing through the entire Violet Evergarden series, I've decided to rewatch it from the beginning and shared this series across many other people who haven't seen it yet. I would like to proudly say that this anime is a beautiful journey
It's one of the most beautiful pieces of media ever created.
I've been holding myself back from watching the movie knowing that it would end the story as a whole. I don't want to feel empty after finishing it, similarly when I finished other anime series that I truly love. Deep inside me, I want to know that Violet Evergarden is not yet ended but, sooner or later, everything needs to come at a full stop. This anime means so much to me...
I'm going to gather my strength and watch it this weekend. It's time for me to finish the story and enjoy each and every beautifully crafted frame till the end for the last time.
I don't know if you got around to it, but I ended up watching it a few days ago. I kept delaying it because, similar to you, I did not want to feel empty after finishing it, knowing that this was the last of the franchise that we'd get. The emptiness stays for a few days but the movie was exceptionally beautiful, both story and animation wise. If you did watch it by now, I hope you enjoyed it!
I'm just like you man. I still haven't watched the movie & don't actually wanna anytime soon. But I also wanna move on. I'm so confused.
Violet Evergarden is my Life at this point.
I still remember discovering Violet Evergarden while being broken by the ramifications of war. And honestly I can't imagine what would have become of me if I hadn't accidentally discovered the anime. Violet actually connects me to such deep feelings and memory that just watching your video was a struggle, only the OST of violet is enough just to revive those indescribable feelings...
I really am glad not to be the only one who learned and improved a lot thanks to the work of art made by KyoAnim
I’ve seen some veterans say that her story is very relatable to what they went through during war, and how they felt Integrating back into society. Hearing their stories helped me understand Violet’s character better. I really understood the boy’s attitude with his family. I was in the hospital multiple times in 2021. I was beyond frustrated, because I hated being stuck in a bed, in the hospital, to an IV, and there was nothing I could do about. there are so many things I want to do, but can’t. So I ended up taking my frustrations out on my family. It was very hard to convey the emotions, and things I wanted to tell my family. So I just bawled my eyes out watching those scenes with him
I am forever grateful I got to watch this movie in theaters, and I would pay double or triple just to go again. It was an anime I’ve known for almost 4 years now, and it was one of the first I watched weekly. I was a senior in High School, now a Senior in college. Nothing short of a masterpiece from start to finish, and it means a lot to me. I feel like I’ve become more empathetic and introspective as a person because of Violet. As long as I live, I will remember it’s impact on me.
I'll always hate myself for taking two years to see this show. When I first saw previews of this show back in 2018, I thought it was going to be boring and slow. I was too quick to judge and didn't even bother giving it a chance. But two years later in 2020, I finally made time and watched it. And I tell you, I was proven wrong in so many ways because I cried. Anohana was powerful, but this story took it to a whole another level. Now that I have relived these feelings, I can truly say that this show has now become One of My Top 5 Anime Legends. Thank You Kana Akatsuki for delivering Violet Evergarden to this Earth!
The movie completed the series perfectly.
I remember watching Violet Evergarden: The Movie the day it came to Netflix. It was and still is a heartaching conclusion to a series that taught me the importance of conveying emotions and how letters can still be of value in an age of technology.
I never cried because i wanted to be that strong pillar for others but it is hard and Kyo ani with clannad made me crie and helped me till my wife told me it is ok to cry and to show your Feelings. These artist helped me in hard times.
Sorry for my bad english I am german
Violet is truly a masterpeice , though the anime I grown up and experience things and no longer the same person I used to be, thanks for the video, I always feel a strong emotion for the anime but can't put into proper words, it is always nice to see someone convey emotions in to words that I can't express for the anime.
I wasnt sure if i should write this, as I am so invested in this story.
Violet Evergaden is the BEST anime, EVER!
I laughed, cried, my emotions were all over the place!
Anime conveys emotion, more than any other medium!
I have waterfalls of tears, while typing this!
THANK YOU you beautiful medium, for making me feel again!
Violet Evergarden is my favorite anime. No questions asked. Thank you Kyoto Animation 🙏
I was disappointed when Gilbert was alive
Same. But it was alright.....
I remember watching it saying “this is boring” but then I cried at the end almost non-stop, like oh my god..
Thank you so much for your beutifull violet evergarden videos♥️♥️♥️ aspecially the video abt the movie helped me apreciate it even more
I alr wanted to watch the series a long long time ago but i was scared to watch it since i knew it would leave an emotional impact on me so now i finally watched it and wow just wow an impact it left it was just an insanly beutifull anime
sadly i could not enjoy the movie very much. I loved the series but i think the direction the movie took did undermine a big part of what i thought to be the best parts of the series. Dealing with trauma and loss. Having no direction after said loss. While i enjoyed the sidestory in the movie and the production quality i couldnt help myself but hope to see them not ending up together until the very end of the movie.
yeah i agree with you, yeah the movie kinda of spit to the anime...... in anime, Violet is definitely learn that "shit happened but you must still need to move on cause life still goes on" but in the movie is kinda say "as long you put some faith in your tiny illusion and delusion of hope, your dream can come true" which is 180 degree message from the anime.
the story of violet and her letters will be remembered for coming generations.
I never knew crying could be so... I can't even find the words I just love watching anytime I want to feel something with true depth. It's a masterpiece and a cathartic experience for anyone I think to enjoy the journey through Violet and everyone else's eyes.
Violet Evergarden is one of my most favorite series of all time. The storytelling, the character development, the sheer attention to detail in every animated frame, the evocative music, the dialogue and relationship building between all the characters…I can go on and on. KyoAni truly delivered a masterpiece. No matter how many times I watch and rewatch, it gives me deep senses of emotion like sadness, contentment, longing. I love it so much. It’s a bittersweet happiness that the series Violet Evergarden exists and was completed considering the tragedy with the attacks at KyoAni. It’s definitely something that will live with me forever.
There isnt enough words to descrkbe this masterpiece. It deserves the world💓 this has such an important meaning and story, that everyone should see, hear and feel. This has a special place in my heart❤️
I'm sorry, but the movie and ending was terrible. It ruined the ending of the anime. The entire point was Violet coming to terms with Gilbert's death and learning to move on and be independent. Now he's back alive, she's back to him... like all of that didn't matter... The fact that he survived seemed like the author just resurrected him for more content. Or in this case, a generic cliche ending...
Yeah the movie kinda ruined it for me. Those 13 episodes were straight up masterpiece. The movie disappointed me. But overall it is a great show.
exactly why i never watched the movie
I just finished this 3 days ago and I started rewatching again this is the best show I’ve ever seen Just knowing I won’t ever find a show this good hurts me I wish I could rewatch it over and over again for the first time but the story and the animation is perfection I’m glad I got into this I loved every single second !
Anohana is pretty similar to Violet evergarden,they have the same theme of moving on from a painful past. although it has only 11 episodes and not much action,it has that emotional touch to it,so if you liked violet evergarden im pretty sure you will like anohana as well!
Violet Evergarden is a powerful and heartbreaking masterpiece which conveys a very touching human message. It's also soo beautiful... I've watched several times, and I turn to it every time I need to get some purification of my spirit. I cannot be more grateful for the people who bestowed us this series, and the films which came along with it.
I think I can understand better emotions because of it. Thanks KyoAny and thanks also to you for your moving analysis.
Violet evergarden is literally what I wish every anime would be like. Beautiful, subtle and heartbreaking. I loved this Kyoto Animation trilogy, along with the silent voice movie. ^^
God I adore this anime. It is my opinion that this will stand for a long time. As the greatest television anime ever made. And the movie is just the perfect finale. When taken as a whole, Violet EverGarden is not just the greatest anime. It is in my view, the finest animated work ever made. Period.
I was one of the people over the moon with happiness about Gilbert's survival, but felt the angriest I'd ever been when he refused to see her. My heart shattered for Violet while I wanted to shake the hell out of Gilbert.
He didn't hold violet back but was the catalyst for her emotional journey and his memory propelled her forward in many ways. Violet left so many people will fulfilled happy endings that I wanted nothing more than for her to have the ONE thing she always wanted. And for the one thing itself to deny her, I was furious and then sobbing my eyes out with happiness again at the ending.
VE made me experience just about every human emotion. I cried in each episode then sobbed my eyes out in the final movie. I don't even know if I'm strong enough to rewatch it just yet but it's loved dearly.
I can't express how grateful I am that you expressed what I was thinking about Violet Evergarden. Also watched a few others videos of yours and I have to say that I love your point of vue and your thought process. Keep up the great work !
10/10 anime; I cannot imagine hate being directed to this series at all
It's insane how many times I cried
Violet Evergrden was the first anime I watched and after over 2 years of watching anime it's still my favorite show. Loved the video!
How many times did you cry to this show?
oh my lord , the legend is back
Almost teared up watching multiple times
Upopular opinion i guess but, Im happy he was alive and they FINALLY reunited. i bawled my eyes out the entire show and i suffered through that damn movie. Honestly if he was confirmed dead i would have dropped it. Im glad she got her happy ending,... For my mental healths sake 😅
Gilbert-from the bottom of my heart
Violet- I love you 💯❤️
I loved the violet ever garden series as a whole . And your videos on violet ever garden are some of my favourites as you convey how I feel about the anime in a very simple and beautiful manner , violet ever garden isn’t a masterpiece by any means but it’s still one of the rare anime that I deeply resonate with . It’s a beautiful show and I really recommend it for people who haven’t experienced it yet .
Great story and ending, fucking loved it.
Glory to Kyoto Animations, making us cry for days to come.
Thank you so much for your final words, it really touches my heart
Me in my head: Nice ending
Also me: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ITS ENDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Violet Evergarden franchise will always be the one franchise for me. As a person who often struggles to communicate, it was very personally touching, and I was sad that when I watched it, it was already past the limelight. So thank you.
Also, I like how you played "Letter" in the background. The lyrics of that song really resonate with the message you are trying to say and what the franchise is saying.
God my tears my heart. I've watched the movie several time and it still makes me cry everytime. This series will forever leave a big impact on me. The emotions this series gave me will forever be imprinted on my heart and I would like to carry on into the future knowing that I've experience something life changing. Thank you Violet Evergarden.
Absolutely feel you. The best way to describe this series is simple: Beautiful
I just watched the movie after watching the the show so long ago…I don’t normally cry like a bitch during animes but this movie movie really hit me where I lived, I’m still crying just thinking about it and how Violet came such a long way. After seeing her reunite with Gilbert and having her journey come to and end, I didn’t know how to feel but sad that it was over. I’m so very glad I watched this anime, this might be one of the best ones ever made.
Did I watch this while trying not to tear up the whole time? Absolutely! Another killer video my brother!
You got me at the first word of the video. Te show was the most butiful thing a saw in my fcking life. I miss it so much😭😭
Thanks Kevin, you got me trying not to cry while eating my breakfast.
In all seriousness though, this was an amazing video that I wish I could've made myself. I was also indifferent about the large decision the movie decided to make but it didn't soil the TV series and instead it really did feel deserved. I couldn't have wished for a more perfect ending to my favorite anime than the one we were given.
Violet is the online anime that I can watch 5+ times and never get bored of it
Really great video, expression is a concept that became very dear to me due to Kyoto animation works. Violet Evergarden is an art I will never forget
KyoAni gives us some good sht can't lie with that and Violet Evergarden the one that give me the cry the most than any studios with good emotions and every scene worth it to watch in every episodes and ova
KyoAni shows' age like fine wine. Unlike flashy anime out there (which can be fun at times), their shows demand its audiene to have experienced life and to have grown emotionally to a certain extent to truly see the values. Other shows can also be sad, touching, filled with emotions but KyoAni shows change you, make you do things; whether to pickup an instrument, start playing again after loosing all the passion, or to just simple give your mom a call. Their work is spectacular in its own way.
Also, its OST is Grammy worthy, if that award still means anything at all.
"Violet Evergarden", both the series and both of the movies, is a string of emotional gut punches, from start to finish. I hope Kyoto Anime keeps delivering similarly impactful anime.
VE has one of the best OST Ive ever heard. Just like the letters in the Show convey emotion, the Soundtracks does the same thing, in a really pure way. I never thought I'd like a show like this but having seen it all I must say it's a Masterpiece for me
What a masterpiece, made me cry almost every episode, the movie was the ending I was hoping for...
i watched violet evergarden when it came out but soon rewatched it, it truly is a beautiful story- also i dont know how many times i cried during the movies and series, its a gorgeous, heartwarming production im so glad i got to watch. Im so sad that its come to an end but i just really hope that the family of the all those people are ok and they know that they're relatives in that building were able to put something so beautiful together, its amazing how it brings people together, thank you for making this video!
I been wanted to watch this series for a while but been a year that I couldn’t until a few days ago I started watching it and finished it I’m not a light novel reader but since this comment of your is recent I wanted to ask a question i would be thankful if you answer it. It’s about how it ends does it ends with the movie that is 2 hours long with violet reunited with Gilbert and both expressing how they feel for each other or is there more to watch that is animated. If not then thanks I’m going to guess there’s more in the light novel that may have not been animated and will never happen
@@trxppedvibe so the movie when violet jumps off the ship to Gilbert is the last production they could make, so yeah
The movie became available the day after my grandmother passed away. She was like a second mother to me. I watched this movie with tears in my eyes not only as a fan of the show but as someone relating to Daisy.
Damn bro I'm sorry for your grandma's death I really felt that.
I watched Violet Evergarden for the first time with my Mom, a few years back or so. I remember when we were watching Episode 10, and watching that little montage near the end, my Mom said that she almost cried during that.
Recently, I rewatched the series, and also watched the two movies that I didn’t get to when me and my Mom first watched the series. And…god DAMN, the second one here REALLY put some holes in my heart. When I saw the kid on his death bed and all that, I felt like I was almost gonna cry. Damn, what an emotional rollercoaster.
I wept EVERY SINGLE EPISODE. PTSD depicted perfectly. Veteran approved!~
Violet Evergarden will be forever my favorite series. I relate to VIOLET so much because I never know how to show my emotions. But this series is just beautiful and carries so much for me
Just finished watching the anime. Great video.
This is so priceless. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I wish I could truly connect to people. I learnt though that connection means fighting for the right to exist. A part of me doesn't trust anyone for what was done to me in the past.
You can fill up a whole ocean by everyones tears who watched Violet Evergarden
I got nostalgic and watched everything again just a few weeks ago. I'm glad people still look back with fond memories of Violet.
Great work with this video. You again put perfectly into words why I love this show so much! It's the first show that ever made me cry while watching it and it honestly changed my life and made me a more emotional and empathetic person because of it, it helped me be more open with my emotion. Great job with that connection between the Kyoani tragedy and this movie, I didn't even think of it that way and now I honestly want to cry. Violet will forever be my favorite character in any piece of media ever, and I'll never forget Violet Evergarden as a show and it's impact on me.
YESS, I have been waiting for your video on the film since your last VE video. Your interpretation is perfect. I wish everyone could interpret this story like we did, and understand why it's so... special... and so personal to us.
That's why it makes me really happy to see other people sharing the same thoughts and feelings about something I love so much. And stuff like your videos and the community built here makes it possible! It's satisfying to be able to connect with other people after all, that's what VE taught us.
Violet truly is a special show that allows people to connect with others! Thanks for the kind words. :)
I recently finished watching everything i could find on Netflix for Violet Evergarden. And its been a year since this video was uploaded so probably no one will see this, so ill be brief but i wanted to say what an amazing story it was, i dont really watch anime, but i saw an AMV that used VE as the video (it was only really the war parts) But it was enough, enough to get me interested and enough to spike my curiosity to go find it and watch what i could. And as far as i can remember ive never cried to a show before and i havent really cried in a long time. But after finishing it, i cried. This anime broke me, and im glad. It broke down the walls i had built so high and so strong that nothing could get through. So now ive made a promise to myself, a promise to rewatch this series atleast once a year and a promise to write letters to my future self, but not only them but letters to those close to me. I will not type them, but write them with pen and paper. Call me old fashioned but im not good with speaking words and texting can be insincere but a hand written letter could allow me to express the things i wish to say but dont have the strength to speak them. This is my promise. I know i said ill try to be brief and i doubt many would see this, but to those that do. And though I have no power to say this but I encourage others to take up a similar promise. A promise to feel and if you cant speak the words you wish to say. Then grab some paper and a pen and start writing and hopefully you will be able to express them. And remember "No letter that could be sent deserves to go undelivered."
Violet Evergarden will always have a special place in my heart.
I only saw the movie. I researched the backstory of Violet. I needed so many tissues as the ending broke me.
The series is way waaay better. Watch out for episode 10
Usually I don't write any comments, but this video was one of the most beautiful things I've seen and heard.
You expressed the exact same feelings I had when watching Violet Evergarden. I didn't know there was actually somebody who had the exact same thoughts and feelings as me. Good job man!
What an absolute masterpiece 👏. So glad i stumbled across it on netflix. Such an emotional roller coaster 🥲.
This show is my alltime favourite for a reason
You made me cry 😭
Welcome to the channel! :)
The best drama anime I've seen so far
I wanted to re-watch it for a long time now. Thanks to your vid i got a push to do so just like always. Thanks
Hey. That’s my video at the bottom of the sidebar at 2:14 :) glad to see it still shows up.
I have a lot of problems with my emotions. In particular, I do a lot of repression. I don’t like showing my emotions because, I guess, that’s how I grew up. I don’t particularly know why I do it.
But Violet Evergarden made me breakdown. I was struggling watching the movie through my tears. Even watching your video is bringing out the tears.
I genuinely believe it’s one of the best anime of all time.
Violet Evergarden was the first show to make me cry and it wasn’t even ep 10 that did it
good break down you have a new sub
I totally felt what you said about the anime making us feel emotions that we do not find in live-actions. Most people wouldn't understand how a serie of animated drawings and 2D characters could convey so much feelings, but I am proud to be one of the few that do. I don't know, Japanese animation has a way to do with these things that always make us tear up at some point. I'm glad to see that people in the comments feel the same, and at the same time I am pretty sad that most of the persons out there won't give a shot to this kind of series simply because it's japanese animation. Still, I hope that in the future the story of Violet Evergarden continues to expand worldwide and captivate the hearts and the souls of humankind. Thank you for your video sir, you did a wonderful tribute to the serie.
*_SPOILERS AHEAD_* for anyone who hasn't watched yet.
I just recently watched the series and I never watched the trailer or read the manga and when they started hinting the Major might be alive in the middle of the movie, I thought, "I don't like where this is going". I was rather disappointed when it turned out he was. I felt it definitely undermined everything Violet went through. There's so many questions and things to be resolved between them all the sudden but we don't really get to dive into it and become as emotionally attached like other characters Violet interacts with. But what stood out to me the most was thinking about how Violet tried to end her own life at one point during the series but she picked herself up back on her feet through a ton of emotional development, only to find the person she wanted to see the most in the world telling her, "GO AWAY!". My IMMEDIATE thought was Violet may begin regressing back to selfharm because the ONLY person she lived for (regardless if he was alive of dead) rejected her. Thankfully it written so she didn't but it makes me wonder why that wouldn't be addressed even a bit. To me, it seems Gilbert was made to be alive to prioritize Fan Service rather than Violet's closure. Not to say she didn't get any closure in this movie but I think the ending would have been more emotionally impactful if he was truly dead and Violet finally got the closure she needed. His death added enormous emotional weight to Violet, her decisions and story and is what made me heavily invest emotionally in the series because she over came so much trauma. Regardless of how it ended, Violet Evergarden has a very special place in my heart and definitely my #1 anime right now. Also, I am not one to EVER even consider buying $300+ anime figures/models/statues but for Violet, I am REALLY thinking about buying one to put on my desk.
The latin american va of violet evergarden, sadly passed away some years ago, violet evergarden was one of her last works, and im happy she had the opportunity to end the series and the movie, she was very young and had such an special connection with her character, i just cant believe how many people left when violet was on production, its really sad
Yeah me and my friend found this watched together and learn a lot thank you to the creator of this magnificent anime
Before I start the video. YES, ANOTHER ONE OF YOUR UPLOADS. I feel this way cause it's about my favorite series too (and Clannad). I personally feel like the movie was the perfect conclusion to the overall story the series started in season 1. All the character development, world building and story telling all culminated into this gorgeous work of art. I only started watching anime about a year ago, and Violet Evergarden was one of my firsts. Then in a magical coincidence, this movie was being released shown in America. IN ANOTHER WTF COINCIDENCE, my local theater was one of two... TWO in the entire state to have a viewing of it! I for the first time gathered a group together to see this, and it was so worth it. Seeing how this was the end of Violets story hurt, but the pain was well earned. It was all wrapped up nicely with no lingering questions or need for more content. It was and is the only happy ending I've ever cried to in all of media.
This is all thanks to Kyoani as well... that was another reason I was even contemplated going the distance to pay them back for the stories that changed my life. They all did a great job... including the ones we lost. Thanks Kyoani and thanks Mr/Mrs/Ms/they/Apachihelicopter Nyaa. Have a great day and keep up the great videos!
I don't have any words to describe the historical masterpiece that is Violet Evergarden, I truly believe it's the best movie ever created in the history of anime. It truly change my life when I watched the movie, from the great and outstanding graphics, to the emotions that the movie shows at the end is what made it so priceless and sooo emotional. Again, a great, emotional and a historical masterpiece that is Violet Evergarden.
Before watching Violet Evergarden, I was very closed off and didn't understand most of the things going on around me and didn't have the slightest interest in anyone or anything. But when I discovered Violet Evergarden a few years ago and watched it, I started to understand my surroundings a bit more and I also made my first friend outside of the internet. I still don't understand a lot of things that happen, but all I have to do is think of Violet Evergarden and immediately my day is a little bit brighter.
Initially, I really okay with ending of gilbert death, and the fact that gilbert still alive were made me bit dissapointed. But, honestly, after finished this movie, I couldn't express anything but gratefull to enjoy this plot. Becuz its tell us about Violet is still deserved to be happy, like all of us. But If we're not deserved, we're responsible for the happiness itself, whether by giving nor given. In many ways, our humanely instinct will strive for that. Even after traumatic rejection, Violet still be gratefull for Gilbert still being alive, an insipre her. But thankfully, we're human, as a creature of "being inspiring" and "being inspired". Let's says this good ending is a prize for those waiting patiently, for the greater good in the future.
This show made me realize that many people aren't a slave to their emotions, they are a slave to a lack of emotion. To be human is to feel strong and complex emotions that ultimately add a very deep nuance to life and give it more meaning. This made me realize that being overly stoic and ignoring that entire aspect of my humanity was essentially forgoing a huge aspect of life. Needless to say I've grown alot in ways I didn't know I could grow after seeing this show. I highly recommend people give it a chance. You'll feel things you didn't know you could if you allow yourself to
Every year I have a week or two where I return to the series and every time I see some new meaning as my life changes. This show has helped me through the best and worst parts of my life and will forever be my favorite series ever.
Great video as always.
Thank you for this! Your "emotional masterpiece" first video got me to dive into this wonderful show, and i can't thank you enough. It opened up some corners of anime i hadn't yet appreciated.
Violet retaught me a lot about love and listening and the power of communication.
Your video led me to this beautiful art, and if i ever have a daughter, maybe my Violet will thank you
It's literally the only show or movie that has made me cry. I have felt a tiny bit emotional watching other shows and movies as well, but nothing has been even close to making me tear up. Violet Evergarden made me cry like a little girl.
