I am simply giving my thoughts on the story progression and why I was so let down.įirst, let me start off by saying that I loved a lot about this movie. I will state my reasons below, first in a spoiler-free section and then in a spoiler section.īefore I begin, full disclaimer that I have NOT read the novel, and so the source of my complaint is not "it is different from the original so it sux0rZ!!1!". It's still far better than average, but the ending misses the mark entirely for me. Overall, the series as a whole is unique, creative, and emotionally fulfilling.I have to personally give this film a 7/10. The last quarter of the movie might be considered a bit much by some viewers, or a perfect ending by others. But with the background of the prior stories, this really hits home. Without those, this would likely strike me as a more bland film. I'm rating this 9 stars when considered along with the prior episodes and film. The total contrast in goofball supporting characters makes Violet's unique and paradoxical personality stand out even more. But the character of Violet is about as complex as I've seen in any anime. and to be honest I'm not really sure why. This has consistently been one of my favorite stories. The back-story of the prior episodes are essential to understanding the real point and nature of this film. The movie stands on its own, but just barely. Before watching this movie I recommend watching the Evergarden series and the prior movie otherwise a large part of this won't have the emotion impact it requires. Yet it holds true to the story and has a very nice ending (be sure to watch to the end of the credits). This movie is even moreso, with parts of it admittedly a bit too over the top in the emotional aspect. Violet Evergarden is in my mind some of the best anime ever made.
