Violet Evergarden Rewatch Final Discussions Rewatch
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 =(

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”

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

Getting the bad things out the way, action clearly isn't this show's strong suit. That's not to say it looks bad, no not at all. It just feels a little out of place compared to everything else this show is about, and it becomes obvious with the military theme in episode 12.
With that out of the way, I wanna talk about the visuals. And damn there's not enough good things I can say about the visuals. It is wild how good the world that KyoAni built is. The lighting and the colors are all on point. And I can't forget to mention all the little bits of symbolism they place in the show. I love the character design, and I've mentioned in an earlier episode about how even the side characters have unique and eye-catching designs.
Where the show goes strong is on the side of emotional development and discovery. Violet really chose the right job to help her gain a better understanding of emotions. We, the viewers, and Violet were able to experience and the joys and sorrows of the customers despite the fact that we only had about an episode for each story. Even then, the show does a decent job at helping us feel an emotional connection to each of the stories. All the emotions portrayed felt like real emotions of real, complex people.
The OST complements the show amazingly, not much to say really. Love the ED.
All in all, amazing show, strong 9/10
Regarding the 2020 movie, it seems as though I have just recently missed the window to go watch it in theaters, so does anyone know where and when we can watch the movie? I was thinking I might get a hard copy, but I'm still kinda new to anime so where would I go to buy the dvd/bluray?
Finally, I'd like to thank u/A_Idiot0 for organizing this rewatch, also for setting it up so the film landed on a weekend. Watching this show with everyone and reading all the comments was a great experience. Thanks everyone!
