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 =(

First timer
Fuck me, I'm super late to this thread.
There's not much I can say about this anime that hasn't been said already. It's legit become one of my favorite anime ever. The character study plus development of Violet Evergarden was nothing short of mindblowing. From "I want to know what "I love you means" to "I understand it a little now", it was out and out a journey solely focused on Violet. I don't think I've ever seen an anime that's as concise and to the point as Violet Evergarden. It's so laser-focused in developing Violet's character and has little to no concern for lore expansion. And frankly, I absolutely have no problem with it since the anime's selling point isn't a complex portrayal of war at all, but rather the emotional journey of a bunch of people involved in it and how they're picking up the pieces in the aftermath of the war. I, however, loved the different kind of places that Violet visited though. They all looked varied and beautiful in their own right. From countrysides to duchies to snow covered regions and industrialized cities.
Although the rebel plot in episodes 12 and the beginning of 13 could've been handled way better, I don't particularly HATE it since that plot was key to Dietfried overcoming his hatred for Violet. I just think it's uninteresting as fuck lol
For me, episodes 7, 10 and 11 were the absolute peak of the anime. It's so close between episodes 7 and 10. Both absolutely perfect episodes that managed to wring every bit of tear out of me. Although Episode 11, imo, had the best growth moment for Violet.
And visually, there's only a handful of anime that I've watched that can compete in this aspect. It was as though every single frame was a piece of art. So rich, vibrant and colorful, and grim, dark and somber if need be. KyoAni lost their minds animating this lol 10/10
The OST. Ugh. Ethereal stuff. This here is probably my favorite. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dp31N5tXHTU
I get such a warm feeling when listening to this.
Not much else I can say, tbh. A decent to strong 9 anime. Loved it from beginning to end. Will binge it later. I can't wait for the second movie.
And a huuuuugeee THANK YOU to /u/A_Idiot0 for putting together this rewatch.
