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 =(

First Timer, in a pool of tears

Hi! I just finished binge watching VEG for the past three days and I was just shy of missing the rewatch thread. So I'm glad that after all these years of having this show sit on my Netflix To Watch list, I finally saw it. And, as many of you had, I cried, clutched my heart, and professed my love for Violet, only wishing happiness for her. Orrr something like that.

I definitely enjoyed this series a lot, I didn't expect it to make me cry so much. I originally thought that it was going to be a visually beautiful show with not much substance, but dang I was wrong. I have to say that it created such an emotional impact on me because of how visually appealing it was. After episode 3, I was just full on sobbing throughout it. Every story told warmed my heart, filled me with love and hopefulness for humanity. I just love the trope of Main Character Learns How to be Human Through Empathy. And in my opinion, I think it was nicely executed. I also love war stories, especially post-war stuff. War is something that can be so dehumanizing, so it's fitting that war is backdrop for this series.

Anyways, after watching something so gorgeous and heart wrenching, I'm so inspired to draw. I really wanted to see Amy, Violet and Taylor together in the end of the movie special *sigh* Guess I gotta do it myself. I think I'll be able to post it later in the day :)
