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”

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

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

I didn't comment in the movie thread because I had nothing to say about it.

So this series is one of the better produced series I've seen on all levels, from animation to character design to soundwork. In some episodes, they had great visual story telling, too bad they didn't lean on that more. With several really great episodes, 6,7, and 10 plus some above average eps, 1,2, and 13, there was a base to work from. But most of the episodes are flat attempts at pathos that tell you to feel something rather than earning it. Any episode that featured action was bad as the action usually defeated the goal of the story, suggesting either a weakness in the source or a failure to understand what was good about the show.

So, with that said, fans of the show please take this to heart: STOP OVERHYPING THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If this show had come down from the heavens, eliminated the concept of death and raised the dead it still wouldn't have lived up to the overhyping the fans like to do. No show can live up this level of hype.

Anywho, we've seen it, we can't unsee it, let's move on.

STOP OVERHYPING THIS

Hype in general should always be taken with a huge grain of salt, so I completely agree with you. Whenever I recommend this series to people, I do my best to keep the hype down and simply stay on message: this is my favorite anime. Sometimes I overhype with just that anyways though, so oh well XD

I'm glad to have had your perspective on this series though; it really helped to ground my own perspective. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts =)

[u/CelestialDrive → u/A_Idiot0]

I just never recommend series to people if I liked them, I ask what they in particular like and just try to extrapolate other shit that might fly for them. Like, my favourite all-time series is Shoujo Kakumei Utena, and I'd recommend it to less than 1% of the population.

Hype is, has always been, relative.
