It is not something I would watch if I hadn’t chosen to review it episodically, but it’s also not something I had any difficulty finishing. Overall, I have no strong feelings about the series. Evergarden gets ditched completely in the first episode?

Question: why is Violet called “Violet Evergarden,” and why is the show named that, when Mrs.Season 2? I guess it’s possible if it’s just Violet going around healing people with letters – an iyashikei series that I probably won’t watch.I guess the fact that she keeps the exact lines serves to emphasize how the difference is that she appreciates her role more consciously now, though the goal of her position has never changed. Violet repeats the lines she always does the change is that she can now say her name with emotion.Beautiful maidens heal your soul and are willing to do anything for you, that sort of thing? I don’t know if I made the maid cafe comparison already, but you can really get the vibe from that poster featured in episode 11, in which Dolls are only depicted and talked about as beautiful maidens. That might be reading too much into that parallel (*see above), but it’s just kind of weird that the whole ghost-writing thing is being romanticized as a service of sorts. Violet claims to Dietfried that she doesn’t take orders anymore, but she still takes requests! I’ve always felt kind of ambiguous about the lines she says to each client she meets for the first line, part of the reason being that it seems to echo her mindset in the military as a killing machine.One single letter defies gravity and flies into the distance, paralleling the letter from Violet to Gilbert that the anime opens with. The letter is then treated as some sort of inspirational wrap-up to the series while Hodgins sinks to the ground in embarrassment. Meanwhile, Hodgins wrote a cheesy letter to his future daughter, the draft of which Cattleya discovers and reads aloud. Too bad for Erica – Benedict is more interested in Hodgins.I honestly didn’t see it coming though, Erica and Benedict? Will probably be unrequited for a long time, if not forever. People write the most personal letters.See how Violet tries so hard to stand straight and still the entire time while tears start trickling out? The body language in this scene was memorable.Gilbert’s mom’s memory isn’t actually as “hazy” as Dietfried claims, because she has the important role of being the one to relieve Violet of her burden – that of not having been able to save Gilbert. Dietfried brings Violet to his mom without telling her beforehand.She can’t abandon that mindset so easily. Are Dolls required to say that, or is it just Violet? It’s probably just Violet. It’s interesting how this line is basically the exact same line she says to her clients as a Doll.More of that last conversation she had with Gilbert is disclosed. Violet tries to write a letter to Gilbert, but has flashbacks instead.She understands, and her clients can perceive that. Violet is now more than qualified to help people through letter therapy after the war.This was a nice moment to watch great to see Cattleya in the spotlight for once. And peace happens, because the bad guys failed to stop it.I had no idea her entire arm (or at least half of it) is prosthetic.

Violet breaks both her arms in her attempt to stop the bomb from going off.Such a boring villain doesn’t deserve to be the final obstacle in the series.

He came out of nowhere last episode, and doesn’t even have a cool style or anything. This was the moment Dietfried redeemed himself for me.īad guy does evil laughter…mwahaha, you can never escape my bomb!

Dietfried catches Violet’s brooch before it flies off somewhere.

I was glad they got through the awkward battle bit as quickly as they did – Violet Evergarden is a show more about letters and reconciliation than action after all.
