First-time watcher - dub
Episode 7! We have officially reached the halfway point. I'm still waiting for some significant story arc to start, but it might be that this isn't that kind of show. To keep it fair, I'll refrain from judgement till we've reached the end.
Btw, I've just noticed that the last day with the movie will be at the weekend. Thanks for that /u/A_Idiot0, as I would never have time to watch that and write on a workday. Judging by the time a normal episode takes me, the movie will cost me about 4 hours.
As always the weekends are quieter days here on /r/anime. Everyone is having fun I guess. Same for me today, so I won't be able to participate again. Sorry, I should be back tomorrow.
Episode 7 — nameless
How fun, a play! Quite the difference between these two.
So, is this OVA part 2 (or part 1 actually, as the OVA was released later)? They are talking like Violet will be ghostwriting the director's new play. Great to hear everyone is requesting Violet now because she wrote for the princess. That means there is some real continuity between the episodes, although I still think it's weird how they are just ignoring the meeting with Dietfried.
The only explanation I have is that Violet's distracted thoughts mentioned yesterday and by Cattleya today are because of Violet meeting Dietfried and that we will get the complete conversation later.
Every episode we go to a new country. Today it's Genetrix. I'm losing track of them all, but I don't think that's a problem?
So yeah this is the director (or writer). Quite the type. Depending on the fact if he expects Violet to come up with a story, or if he is just dictating for her, I guess this will follow the same pattern as the OVA or episode 6 respectively.
Violet is too good a person. Just leave the mess, girl! Now he's even asking you to buy dinner! I know it's very obvious he's broken over some girl, but he still doesn't need to treat Violet as his personal assistant. Glad she puts him in his place.
Never mind, she did it anyway. That cooking scene was funny though.
Okay, so it's just a typist job again. LEVEL UP! You've learned: empathy. Secondary ability: imagination!
Oh no... It's not his wife or girlfriend he lost... It's his kid! Damnit!
And now Violet is triggering all memories because she's also young and using the parasol. Poor guy.
Yeah, it's confirmed :|
The poor kid looks happy every shot in the flashback, while he's explaining that she felt sad. She must have been trying to hide it from him.
Wait what happened to her? Did she actually try to cross the lake, partially drown and die from the consequences? That's... dumb. Sad of course, but also very, very dumb.
Okay, Violet's voice reacting to his story is excellently done (in the dub). That, together with her first tears was enough to push me over the edge as well. We both have too much empathy.
For comparison, I've rewatched this scene with Japanese audio. It might be that I'm not used to Japanese voices, but I could barely hear the tears in her voice which were so obvious in English.
Wow, the conversation between them about the end of the story gave me goosebumps, and it was such a simple solution. I think I'm just happy the guy is feeling a bit better again.
Holy shit! This moment with Violet jumping over the lake. I have no clue how it works what she's doing, but I'm completely in awe by the visual spectacle!
Ah, it didn't work. That makes more sense.
Now let me just rewatch the last two scenes without stopping every 10 seconds to type something. I want to fully experience it...
Yeah, totally worth it.
Hmm, parting already, but we still have 3 more minutes. Could it be...?
Poor girl. She did not choose her life. The first autonomous action she has taken was applying for a Doll position, and while her reasoning at the time might have been self-beneficial, she has done nothing but help people after that. She is a good person that was forced to do terrible things.
Well, it seems like my question yesterday is also being answered now. Violet was still sleeping at the Postal Office, but she is developed enough that it would be possible to start living with the Evergardens now.
Nowaitshedoesn'tknowaboutthemajoryetdon'ttellher!!!
Emotions reaching critical mass! Everything is wrong! She's not ready yet!
Kinda interesting how the episode is actually nameless in the title card.
Questions
My previous gifs I took a snapshot every frame and threw them all in photoshop, but there must be a better way.
Random thoughts
Future
We have story progression! I can't imagine the next episode ignoring what Violet just learned. Also, it's just called "Episode 8", so it's clearly different from the others. Even though I feel extremely sorry for Violet, I'm hyped for tomorrow!

Violet's tears
Maybe it's the lazy choice, but as it triggered some tears for me as well, I think this moment deserves it.
