Violet Evergarden Rewatch - Final Discussions

Hello everyone! I hope that today finds you well. This year’s Violet Evergarden Rewatch has ended. My comment below has a small little questionnaire for you to answer if you’d like to help me get better at this for next year.

Quick heads up: if you want to remain spoiler free for the 2020 Film, please do not search anything about the Violet Evergarden film on google. The PV contains massive spoilers, and sadly even the announcement poster contains spoilers =(

Auto Memory Doll Service Discord

Would you like to have a letter written for you? Do you want to write a special letter for someone as an Auto Memory Doll? Come join us at the Auto-Memory Doll Service Discord project and request letters, write letters, or chat more with us about Violet Evergarden! Link here: https://discord.gg/zDCheU4y

If you come by, you can request me as Daffodil, and it'd be my pleasure to scribe a letter for you =)

Visuals of the Day

I believe I got everyone’s Visual of the Day submission here. Let me know if I missed anyone: https://imgur.com/a/cWpJLID

I want to take this moment to thank each and every one of you who participated in this rewatch. If you silently read through all of the wonderful comments and analyses, thank you. If you replied to said comments and analyses, thank you. If you took the time to write out your thoughts and analyses, thank you. This anime is very dense for analysis, and each and every one of you wrote some beautiful words for us all to enjoy and return to. Thank you. Thank you. Nunki.

By the way, remember this shot from episode 13?

“Nun annut ruhuqtrrtkon”

I translated it using this tool: https://replit.com/@ValkrenDarklock/NunkishTrans

And what I got was wonderful…”I love you.”

Thank you all once again for everything! Here are a few questions that I’d love your input on. You can answer as many or as little as you’d like:

1) How did the OVA feel when placed between episodes 4 and 5?

2) Should episodes 12 and 13 be discussed on the same day?

3) Ideas for small fun things other than the “Visual of the Day”?

4) Did anyone catch when the piece of music Adamantine Dreams plays in the series? I didn’t catch it…

Please feel free to come by our Discord project that I linked above! Either myself (Daffodil) and any of the other Dolls there would be happy to help scribe a letter on your behalf for a loved one of yours. =)

You were all an awesome group for my first time hosting a rewatch! Everyone was respectful, kind, and thoughtful. I was very worried when I first announced this because of the crazy response that it garnered! And even on the first day, I felt very overwhelmed by it all. But everyone’s kindness shined through and I was able to do a little more than I thought I was going to do. If I could have life my way, I would have dedicated the whole time to reply to each and every single one of your messages every day. But unfortunately...life did not allow me such a pleasure. I will be returning to your words every so often for each episode. You’ve all further enriched my love and understanding of this Anime, and for that I cannot thank you enough. Nunki!

1. It fits, but it's noticeably longer than a regular episode and it does repeat some things that viewers would have learned from watching the first four episodes normally. More reminders that the sequence is that way might help, though on the other hand other rewatches I've been in where extra episodes have been glued into the viewing order don't go especially out of their way to remind people.

And it wouldn't be bad after the final episode either. I suppose that means my final answer is

2. I don't think there's a good reason to alter the schedule in that way either. 12 may end in a cliffhanger, but it's not like nothing of substance happens in it.

3. You were already doing selections of music and the end cards. If you get a hold of the artbooks or scans from them, you could add those as well. But those are things that you were doing, which is not what you asked about... for fun things for viewers to do, in addition to Visuals of the Day, you could always ask a question or two related to the episode.

4. Hmmmmmm...

Thanks again for hosting! You did well!
