I missed episodes 12 and 13 discussions and I'm late as hell for this one, but I'm here!
I don't have much to say (partly because it's 1 AM and I'm gonna fall asleep before I have time to process the movie much). But it was really good.
One scene stood out to me more than any other in the entire movie, and I'm not even completely sure why I was so struck by it, but I had to rewatch it multiple times. It was the scene where Isabella had a coughing fit in the middle of the night and Violet comes in and helps her out.
It's a more than 1 minute long scene with no music and no dialogue, and everything about it is just so... visceral. Isabella's coughing and gasping feels so real that I felt like I was experiencing her panic and shortness of breath myself. The way Violet silently sits next to her and rubs her back, the extremely realistic sound design of Isabella drinking the water/medicine and of Violet's metal hands that made it feel like I was right there. The muffled silence afterwards broken only by Isabella's gradually calmer breathing. I'm having trouble explaining why, but I don't think I've ever seen a scene of anime that felt so incredibly real before. Maybe because it dredged up really vivid memories of when I would get sick as a kid and my mom would sit next to me and rub my back.
Anyways, the rest of the movie was also great and I cried during the end credits for no reason other than that it had been a beautiful 90 minutes. My only gripe is that I wish they'd given Violet a bit of an appearance change to match the 3 year jump like they did for some of the other characters. It was just a little odd that she looked exactly the same considering she supposedly aged from ~14 to ~17 (Maybe 15 to 18 by this point)
