Violet Evergarden

Episode 7 was the best so far. Definitely an emotional one too.

Yep. Definitely not shinobi, amirite?

I would say 5 is still the best. The montage was kind of a waste since we really didn't have any idea what the girl was like. It did however show how violet is becoming more sympathetic with others. The end of the episode sort of hammers it home as to what Oscar might have been feeling when he lost his daughter as well as a reminder that violet is finally facing her suppressed emotions. She might be on the way to recovery but the whole shousa is dead may have regressed her even further. Looking forward to the next episode.

Without question, episode 7 was by far the best episode. I'm not saying the others were bad, I'm just saying this one was on a different level.

God bless the kyoani slow burn, it makes the wait worth it.

very funny user, i thought the scene was great

>She might be on the way to recovery
i hope so, i want to see her happy
>Looking forward to the next episode.
me too user, the wait is painful as always

VEG went from good to great since 5.

It's over. Violet is broken.

Absolutely, but don't forget about episode 5, that was really good too.

YAMETE KUDASAI!!!

but 6 was shit

This!

...

No, ep6 was great. While it wasn't quite as good as 5 or 7 it was still really good i honestly enjoyed it.

I lost a little brother to cancer and when I sat down to watch this episode with my family, my mother just broke during the lake scene. It had been quite I while since I last saw her cry like this and I so I broke too.
FUCK cancer but my God this anime is powerful when it wants to be, I was not expecting this.

aaaaa stop already

Why aren't you holding her?

>I lost a little brother to cancer
I'm sorry to hear that user, you have my condolences..

...

fuck you're right user!?!?!!? why aren't i holding her!!?! COME HERE VIOLET CHAN!!!!!

Imouto episode and princess episode are the best so far. These last two have probably been the weakest.

last episode was great user

so many feels this episode

Episode 1 is the only good thing so far. Everything else is fucking garbage.

Great episode, violet is finallyon fire

>i didn't watch the show

My sincerest condolences for your loss.

If I put that out would she die?

If next episode is what i think it is, it will be even better.

What do you think it'll be?

Ann

It was probably the most campy one yet. I legit laughed out loud at the scene where she frog-hops over the lake.

Why are all the odd numbered episodes the best ones in this show? Not that the others were bad, I enjoyed them a lot, but 1,3,5 and 7 are on different level.

2 was ok and 6 was great. 4 was terrible

This isn't DarliFra thread, dumbass.

I didn't like 1, but 3, 5 and 7 were really good. But because the quality of the episodes is so incosistent in terms of writing I'm still unsure about this show.

all the episodes after 4 were on a different level, because the violet begins to grow much faster.

>there are people who have fetish for crying girls

It's not a fetish. I just want to see Violet cry so I can comfort her.

Oh gee, could it be because episodes 5,6 and 7 are from the source material?
Really makes you think.

>Netflix is out

Time to watch this.

le savior complex

>Not wanting to comfort your wife
What are you gay?

>le

5 wasn't.

episode 5 is part of the new volume.

It was actually, from the 3rd volume that is coming out next month.

Picture reads: The Princess and the Auto Memoir Doll

This makes me think that they'll adapt the finale of volume 2.

wasn't the ln finished?

It is. Vol 3 is just side stories.

The main story is finished. Volume 3 is just side stories involving Violet.

I chuckled when she was winding up and probably said out loud "she's not going to clear the fucking pond is she?" Had she made the whole thing I think that would have crossed the campiness line for me but the chuuni "Did you see, did you see? I made it three steps! I thought I could jump farther than I did thought." Dialogue she had after won me over.

which volume is the axe in?

two most likely.

>Violet learns empathy
>but in return she also learns what guilt is

things are finally getting good
hope they keep it up for the next half

This might be my spic blood talking but I agree.

Volume 1, we'll be getting to that part very soon.

...

One. In vol 2 she never had a chance to use an axe, the only relevant past flashback was assassination mission, but there carrying a huge ass axe would have attracted too much attention. Against Cultists and on train hijack she just fights melee or uses guns.

The scene in your pic is from final chapters of vol 1, Assault on Intense - where she and gilberts rope themselves into cathedral.

The nearest you`ll see the axe is likely 9th episode, where she airdrops on battlefield carrying it - but does not use it for lethally, since she tries not to kill after becoming AMD

Trolling aside I think this is good.

I wish the beginning hadn't been so weak.

Having an autistic main character was EXTREMELY bad for the show, so it's good that is over.

...

>Thinks she can walk three steps on water
Violet is the sexiest chuuni.

KyoAni Carnival Phantasm when?

She did walk on water.

is this KyoAni's master plan? A SoL crossover show of all their IP?

Not sure about crossover, though it is very possible. But they already milk it by events. Free and Hibike events were popular and VEG BD1 comes with ticket as well if you order from KyoAni shop.

They sold a crossover booklet on thier events too
------------------
Part 1:
Kumiko: Nice to meet you, I’m Oumae Kumiko, first-year at Kitauji high school.

Haru: I’m Nanase Haruka, third-year and swimming club member of Iwatobi high school.

Violet: *standing up and bowing* Pleased to make your acquaintance. I am an Auto-Memories Doll who rushes anywhere my clients might desire, Violet Evergarden.

Kumiko: Eh…?!

Haru: Let’s get along.

Violet: Let us indeed get along well, Master, Young Mistress.

Kumiko: Eh…?!

Haru: ……

Violet: ……

Kumiko: Uh, ah, let’s get along, yeah!

Haru: ……

Violet: ……

Kumiko: Hum, I came here for a rehearsal for my band’s concert series. Why did the two of you come here today?

Haru: A film we made during spring break will be screened, so I came here to watch it with my swimming team.

Kumiko: Will it show everyone from the club swimming?

Haru: I haven’t yet watched it, so I have no idea.

Kumiko: So there’s no way you’d know. But it’s rare for people to see themselves in a movie playing somewhere! Wah, amazing! What did you come here for, Violet… chan?

Violet: A mission.

Kumiko: “Mi… Mission”?

Violet: President Hodgins requested me to come here on this day.

Kumiko: Erm… “President”?

Violet: My employer.

Kumiko: I see, hehe. Hum, what will you be doing here?

Violet: My mission is to watch a movie and listen to a concert band performance.

Kumiko: Wah. So you also came for the performance. Thank you!

Violet: Have I done anything warrant your gratitude?

Kumiko: ……

Haru: What’s that “Auto-Memories Doll” stuff you mentioned?

Violet: My occupation.

Kumiko: First time I’ve heard of it. What kind of work do you do?

Violet: It is a profession in which I write letters regarding whatever my client wishes.

Kumiko: So you write letters in your clients’ stead? Sounds difficult…

Haru: *points at a nearby typewriter* You use that?

Violet: Yes. It is a weapon.

Kumiko: “Weapon”…?

Haru: For fighting?

Violet: I do not fight with it.

Haru: ?

Violet: ?

Kumiko: Hum…

Haru: ……

Violet: ……

Kumiko: Ugh, what a heavy mood…! Gotta change the subject!
So, uh, what kinds of letters have you written before?

Violet: I am currently in the process of thorough training.

Kumiko: “Training”…? Ah, so you’re still an apprentice, Violet-chan? Of course, since you’re still young…

Violet: I am indeed undergoing training, but is that related to being young?

Kumiko: Sorry about that… Ah, right! Did you go sightseeing anywhere, Nanase-san?

Haru: I went to the river.

Kumiko: “The… river”?

Haru: One with a wooden bridge across it and lots of people.

Kumiko: Ah, the Great Sanjou Bridge, right? I also go there with my friends when we don’t have practice.

Haru: The water there is too shallow. I couldn’t swim in it.

Kumiko: You’d wanted to swim in the Kamo river?!

Haru: Makoto stopped me, though.

Kumiko: Thank goodness. There was someone to stop you. Violet-chan, where did you come here today from?

Violet: From the mountains.

Kumiko: First the river and now the mountains…
Enough with these guys…!

Violet: Miss Cattleya called it “Arashi”.

Kumiko: Ah! Mount Arashi, right? Were you touring?

Violet: No. We were on a trip to a customer’s place on that day, to write on their behalf.

Kumiko: So you travel to lots of places… sounds like a rough job.

Violet: I do not harbor any feelings of exertion towards it.

Kumiko: Then… sounds like all’s fine, but… ugh… *sighs*

Haru: Oumae, do you live in Kyouto?

Kumiko: Yes, I live in Uji, in Kyouto Prefecture.

Haru: “Uji”? Where the Uji river is?

Kumiko: Yep! Uji river is famous for appearing in “Genji Monogatari”!

Haru: If it were there… I’d be able to swim.

Kumiko: Absolutely not! The Uji river’s stream is so fast that swimming in it is prohibited!

Haru: Is that so…?

My autistic wife violet is so cute.

Kumiko: Rather, you can’t swim in any river!

Haru: ……

Violet: ……

Kumiko: Ah, uuuuh—oh, yeah, where are you from, Violet-chan?

Violet: I have come from the port city of Leiden, capital of Leidenschaftlich.

Haru: I was born in a port town, too. Do you swim, Violet?

Violet: It is possible for me.

Haru: Oh.

Violet: ……

Haru: ……

Kumiko: ……
Enough already… Somebody save me!

Silence went on after the messy conversation. Would Kumiko, Haruka and Violet be able to come to an understanding with each other?

Part 2:
There had been no laughter in Kumiko, Haruka and Violet’s waiting room. Instead, a serious atmosphere loomed over the place. Kumiko was at her wit’s end when there was a sudden knock on the door…

Cattleya: Excuse us!

Makoto: Ah! Haru! I finally found you!

Reina: So you were in this room.

Kumiko: Reinaaaaaaaaa!

Reina: Hehe, you’re so funny, Kumiko.

Kumiko: I didn’t mean to be funny!

Makoto: Haru, I was startled when you disappeared out of the blue.

Haru: I would’ve come back if you’d called me.

Makoto: Yeah, yeah, you say that after having left us. Everyone was worried!

Cattleya: We were searching for you guys all on our own when we met in the lobby. Then, we hunted for you together.

Reina: This room was super quiet when I passed by earlier, so I didn’t think there was anyone inside.

Kumiko: *gulps*

Cattleya: Wait, were you chatting? Violet, you’ve changed a bit, haven’t you?

Kumiko: Yes. She’s very strange… AH!

(T/N: This just now was a pun that gets lost in the translation. The word “strange” can be written with the same characters as “changed” in Japanese. Kumiko misunderstood what Cattleya meant at first and blurted out something with a different meaning, lol.)

Cattleya: Don’t sweat it. She’s only just started getting around. There’s still quite a lot that she doesn’t yet know.

Kumiko: No, I think there’s a lot in this world that I also don’t know about.

Reina: You weren’t able to have a conversation at all, were you?

Kumiko: Hic…!

Makoto: That’s okay! Everyone gets nervous when meeting people for the first time. So, why don’t we try talking about something now?

Cattleya: Let’s do it~. So… who’s got something to discuss?

Reina: Why don’t we choose a subject that anyone can talk about? Like what food we enjoy?

Kumiko: Yeah! I like cooking eggs, and I really love making fluffy rice omelets!

Haru: Mackerel.

Makoto: That’s right. Haru is really good at cooking. He can make various types of dishes with mackerel.

Kumiko: Oh~, amazing!
Thank God some normal people came to my aid!

Cattleya: What about you, Violet?

Violet: So long as I obtain the necessary amount of nutrients to be able to move around, I have no problem with consuming anything.

Cattleya: Hahaha! *strained laughter* Sorry, everyone.

Reina: *discreetly* Was she like that all this time?

Kumiko: *quietly* Yep.

Makoto: Well, everybody has things they like and don’t like to eat. So why don’t we pick something else to talk about?

Reina: Then, how about “stuff we’ve done lately”?

Makoto: Sounds great!

Haru: I got my driver’s license.

Everyone: Oooh!

Cattleya: Violet’s done something like that too, you see!

Violet: I have practiced my typing.

Everyone: Oooooooh!

Cattleya: She was pretty unskilled at the beginning, but once she started training, she improved very quickly.

Kumiko: You two are incredible… I… uh, something I’ve done recently? Hmmm? This is bad, nothing is coming to mind!

Reina: What about “that thing”?

Kumiko: Ah! In the band, I’ve finally become able to play a line that was hard for me before.

Makoto: That’s wonderful!

Haru: Yeah!

Cattleya: You’ve certainly put a lot of effort in there.

Kumiko: T-Thank you very much!

Makoto: What instrument do you play?

Kumiko: I play the eupho.

Haru/Makoto/Cattleya: “UFO”?

Kumiko: Of course you wouldn’t know of it. It’s a brass instrument that is basically a smaller version of the tuba. Since it’s part of the bass section, it might be a bit too trifling for people to know… By the way, Reina plays the trumpet.
Haru/Makoto/Cattleya: I know the trumpet.
Kumiko: Of course you would…
Cattleya: My, so you both are actual musicians!
Kumiko: I wouldn’t consider myself a musician…
Cattleya: Speaking of which, Violet also brought a book to read for the performance!
Violet: This book is also about the euphonium.
Kumiko: Ah! It’s the “Fun Euphonium”!
Violet: “The euphonium is a brass instrument in the low-middle range. Its trait is a soft, temperate sound that envelopes the audience.”
Makoto: Is that so? I’ll make sure to pay attention for it during the performance.
Kumiko: Ah, please do…
I’m sort of happy…
Makoto: But concert bands must have tough practices. It’s a cultural club, and you need a lot of stamina, too.
Kumiko: Well, it’s not easy… but I really like it.
Kumiko: Yeah! Nanase-san, you sure love swimming, right?
Haru: Yes. I want to continue swimming, too.
Kumiko: Hehehe. I somewhat feel like performing right now.
Reina: Kumiko, it’s almost time for the ensemble practice.
Kumiko: It is! We gotta go.
Makoto: Haru and I should be heading to the screening too. Well, then, you two make sure to do your best tomorrow!
Cattleya: We’ll be looking forward to listening to your performance.
Kumiko: Everyone, thank you so much! Violet-chan, will you come to see tomorrow’s concert?
Violet: Affirmative. *bows* I shall endeavor to analyze the music at the concert of you two.
Haru: It’s not just them; a concert is something created by the whole band. It’s just like a relay.
Kumiko: Ah, true! Everything comes back to swimming for you, Nanase-san!
Makoto: Hahaha. *strained laugh*
Cattleya: You two are pretty in-synch as well!
Kumiko: Uh? Ah! *forces mouth shut*
Reina: Hehe, that’s so like you, Kumiko.

Thanks for this user.

Alright, 5 bucks on Violet confronting Dietfried about his brother next episode.

どうもありがとう

恐れ入ります

Nah. It should be Ann episode most likely.

plot twist she kidnaps Dietfried, makes him her slave and has him dress up as the major

That would completely break the pacing of the story. You can't end episode 7 the way they did and then suddenly skip to another random side character on episode 8.
If they do this they'll be killing the show.

But Ann is all about dealing with grief?

Sure you can. Especially considering Violet is already pretty broken in Ann chapter (puting gun to her head and praying to air asking for Gilbert's orders) and it is transition to Aiden's arc where she finally is confronted with death she projects on Gilbert's situation.

That would be Aiden because Violet sees with her own eyes the kind of pain she inflicted on many hundreds of families. And even then it would be completely retarded to skip over the ending of episode 7, they absolutely need to address her decision making right now before moving on to more travels.

In the novel it is Hodgins in vol 2 that gets her out of the "dead letter hell" in Evergarden mansion and tells her about Gilbert's death so that she snapped out of it.

How they will handle it in anime, not sure - as they changed it here to Evergarden telling Violet about Gilbert's death and Hodgins unwillingly confirming it. Probably some original material

Neither Ann nor Aiden chapters are supposed to be directly related to that as they are from vol 1, though chronologically could fit.

>though chronologically could fit.
Actually sorry, it cant. It was before she became AMD, and her becoming AMD is actually the way to handle it. Not sure how anime will manage the issue.

Ah, you're right. I forgot about that part, yeah that actually makes a lot more sense now.
But Ann still doesn't fit here, learning to cope with loss takes time and Violet was just told about Gilbert.

I hope they include the letters scene in anime, just changing the context.

Will this be a completed story? As for now at least for me it feels like random stories that happen here and there separated by random amount of time.

It is a completed story with actually good overreaching narrative and every episode does contribute to it. It is just proper spin will be given in last 3-4 episodes pretty much the similar way novel handled it.

Though they likely only adapt vol 1. Proper conclusion would be that of vol 2, but it likely to follow later in form of S2 or movies. The conclusion of vol 1 is strong on itself though and gives shape to everything you seen before it.

They're going all the way, we're getting the train finale.

Don't kid yourself user. It will be Violet being depressed but still going out to work for someone, then she'll learn a new feeling and get over her depression.

Kyoani is not crazy.

next episode should be a beach episode to cheer VIolet up a bit.

Ironically, this can actually happen. There is a scene with Cattlaya trying to get her out to cheer up - they might change it to something to fit.

So it the major alive?

...

Possible, but for that they'd have to cut some content. Lux, Assassination, Gilbert's past, Groom. I don't think they will sacrafice it all just to fit in finale in anime, while they can continue to milk it for longer.
