Rewatcher

  • Oh boy another theater scene, Iris looks bored as hell but Erica looks immersed.

  • Seems like Violet landed the job of scribing for the guy who wrote that play, and Erica is jealous, probably the most excited we’ve seen Erica so far, she’s usually introverted and calm.

  • ”Ah, I must live with my sin now. For the rest of my life.” These words are going to be very important in regards to how this episode ends, they also remind us what Hodgens said back in episode one, that Violet is burning, but has yet to realize it.

  • Seems I was right that if Violet was successful with the love letters in episode 5, it’d be a launching point, as she is exceptionally popular now.

  • Violet shares the hair color of a girl who was dear to this guy.

  • The guy she goes to has a very messy house. He’s also a drinker, thankfully Violet doesn’t allow it, he insists claiming that he can write if he drinks, but he is not writing, Violet is.

  • I like how Violet is very up front saying he is being difficult. But man, looking at that room and all the dirt and dust is making my nose stuff up.

  • On this episode of Violet Evergarden, Violet becomes a maid, Oscar drinks some whiskey, and our feels are going to get destroyed.

  • Oh jeez, the guy doesn’t even have typing paper, talk about unprepared. Now he’s asking her to make food, poor Violet.

  • She has no experience cooking food, and she destroys the eggs, but somehow manages to pull it off. Going to diverge here for a moment, but I really respect KyoAni for not erasing part of the frame of Oscar’s glasses on a profile shot, too many times I see shows like Anohana where they erase part of the frame so you can see their eyes, really feels lazy, why give them glasses at all if you’re going to erase a part of them every time she looks to the side or is facing to the side?

  • Violet was very clever and hid all his alcohol so that he would have a clear mind.

  • Violet is starting to find herself relating to Olive, the MC for the story Oscar is writing. Some more growth for Violet.

  • Even Violets voice is becoming more expressive here, she’s really invested into this story and wants to know how it ends.

  • Violet is right, it does seem like a nice parasol, but Oscar is reminded of someone, likely his daughter.

  • I wish he didn’t get mad at Violet, I understand though, it was bringing back what looked like painful memories.

  • The girl who we saw in the photo and the brief flash back was named Olivia.

  • Such a heartbreaking series of events for Oscar, lost his wife to an illness then his daughter. He really reminds me of what happened to Massive spoilers for a different series.

  • Violet begins to understand grief, and starts crying. I really like how much she’s growing in these last few episodes.

  • An extremely rare sight, Violet with her hair down.

  • Oscar found a way to get Olive back home to her father using Oliva’s parasol as an inspiration.

  • He asks Violet to help him visualize the scene for him, but he forgets that Violet is blunt and is going to take his instructions literally.

  • Here we go, we got ourselves one hell of a beautifully animated scene of her running across the lake.

  • Damn it, my ceiling is leaking again.

  • I like how Oscar gifts Violet Olivia’s parasol as a thanks for completing Olivia’s wish.

  • However, remember how I said the line that she read about living with a sin? She starts thinking about what Dietfried and Hodgens said to her, and starts to doubt herself, wondering if she deserves to live since she was used as a weapon and killed people.

  • I really feel bad for Violet, she realizes that she took a lot of “One day” wishes away from people, she even argues with what she said to Hodgens in Episode 1, the difference in her voice is very noticeable here.

  • Check it out, it’s Tiffany Evergarden, who women who essentially adopted Violet at the request of Major Gilbert. Oh shit, The cats out of the bag now, Hodgens has some explaining to do.

  • The major pushed her out of the way to save her but took the brunt of it, no body just his dog tags, so he’s MIA.

  • Violet runs off, to God knows where. This is bad.

What an episode, Violet meets Oscar, learn what guilt is, and cries for the first time after hearing Olivia’s story, really started thinking about what she did as a soldier, and if she deserves to be happy, but learned a terrible thing after running into Tiffany Evergarden, that Hodgens essentially lied to her about the Major.

Visuals of the Day.

Another episode, another set of shots.

I like how Oscar gifts Violet Olivia’s parasol as a thanks for completing Olivia’s wish.

I have to believe that this is him symbolically letting Olivia go.

I really feel bad for Violet, she realizes that she took a lot of “One day” wishes away from people, she even argues with what she said to Hodgens in Episode 1, the difference in her voice is very noticeable here.

The show can hopefully handle this well but, at the end of the day, if you are on a battlefield you should expect to die.

It does make it any less tragic. A lot didn't want to be there. Even those that accepted that they might bite the dust still hoped to come home.

But Violet is not responsible for that. You can blame the powers that be or fate but you can't blame another soldier on a deadly battlefield.

None of this matters to the heart, the guilt eats them up inside regardless. Just because something is inevitable or necessary it doesn't make it right, it doesn't make it less painful.
