Violet Evergarden episode 11

This episode had some actual melodrama elements but I still liked it.

>liked it
get out

This was the only episode I didn't like. Just didn't click for me.
Ishihara episode when?

I've ended every episode recently with a loud FUCK THIS SHOW. Seriously, leave my heart inside my chest please.

By melodrama I'm assuming you're talking about how badly Aiden panicked. Yeah, you could see it as such I don't deny it.

Only 2 episodes left so very soon. He's their best director so he might be saved up for the finale.

No, the reactions were fine. The melodrama in that scene was with the "bad" guys and how stereotypically evil they were. The characterization of the "good" guy group was also very shallow, just a bunch of sparkly 20-something year old males eager to return to their families. A weak setup in my opinion, but I understand that 20 minutes is not a lot of time to flesh both groups more, I think it would've worked better if the bad guys weren't shown, maybe if the scene was played out through the perspective of Aiden alone instead of cutting back and forth to the bad guys as well, Aiden and his group didn't even see who was shooting at them.

worst episode so far

Ah. Yes that indeed was an issue but since the finale is upon us I'm hoping they will show us why they're rebelling and trying to start another war.
Just a mention of lack of food or shit treaty terms should be enough.
The moderate side doesn't require much explaining, it takes little effort to not want another world war.

Ok. I'll explain as many times as I can.
1. Violet's Empathy - She wanted to help a fellow soldier who wanted to send a letter back home conveying possibly the last set of words his family could hear from him. You can see her feel the pain in the entire first scene if you watch her body language
2. Violet's compassion - Aidan was in a similar situation as Gilbert. Think of it sort of like a measure of Violet's progress throughout her experiences as a Doll. When she was with Gilbert, she was known as a killing machine and she had no range of human emotion or understanding. When she was with Gilbert as he was dying, she did not know how to comfort him, she also was stuck on the words he spoke and was panicking.
In her current case with Aidan, when Aidan asked about writing a letter to his love back home, Violet stopped "typing" because his words mirrored Gilbert's (he even said Aishiteru in the muted moment).
The current Violet now has had a good amount of experiences with human love and loss through her job as a doll to understand suffering and pain. She was able to comfort Aidan in his last moments by holding him in his hand and fulfill a final request.

Explain what?

What does the so called anti-peace group wants anyway? I mean, I know they want war, but why? Just because they're evil? Will it be explained later or is this as far as it goes in the novel as well?

Part 2:
The last line made sense of violet's non-killing behavior during the fight with the soldiers why she went out to the battlefield and jumped out of a moving plane: She didn't want anyone to die anymore.
There are a lot of things in motion in this episode.
Just the importance of episode 11.

Cheap tearjerker like every other episode. Pissed me off that "professional soldiers" were such a bunch of jobbers. The fuck were they even doing?
Yes, that would have been better directing.

I know the IQ of this board is low but you don't need to explain things user. I feel that the only thing that needs explaining is her reasoning for going back to a battlefield.

I hope it gets explained later because the novel does explain it.
The treaty terms are trash. They got stripped of military rights, depend on the south for food and had some cities razed for the sake of the continental train that was mentioned this episode.

They looked pretty green to be honest, and I don't think most episodes were "cheap tearjerkers". Most have had decently fleshed out characters and yeah while the conflicts/drama is intrinsically sad and trying to appeal to emotions, I don't believe that's enough to be considered a melodrama. To me melodrama is weak characterization + highly emotional themes, only episode 4, 7 and 10 fit this bill in my opinion.

4, 7 and 11*

I physically cringed when those soldiers just ran away after Violet showed up.

The whole "Baiorretto is a super human killing machine" is so cringey and out of place that it ruins what would otherwise be a great anime.

What the fuck was the author thinking?

>What the fuck was the author thinking?
About the only way an orphan aryan loli would be able to survive WW1 without becoming a prostitute.

So they'll have to rewrite Violet's letter, right? I wonder just what the fuck they're going to put in there.

I enjoyed it too
Only part I found a bit contrived was the fight scene

Child soldiers are a thing.
He didn't have to make her a super human. That's just stupid and doesn't fit with the rest of the show.

Or so you say.

Did VEG hit peak form with episode 10? I can't imagine how they can top it, specially if the focus will return to Violet and Gilbert, those episodes have been kind of weak.

I wanted him to make it

A little soon to say that. Everyone has a soft spot for mother/child stories so that one tore everyone to pieces, but not everyone cares about soldiers. This episode got me choked up too, though not as much as episode 10 or the cancer kid episode.

Death of a solider could be a excellent tragic scene, however episode 11 tried to do it in one of the most generic ways possible. It’s the basic “family waiting for me” and “lover waiting for me” plot without much added. Contrast episode 10, where the somewhat common scenario of a parental illness is mixed up with the daughter knowing her mother won’t be ok and the letters she receives on her birthdays. When you look at the episodes side by side, it’s almost insulting how little effort was put into Aiden’s story.

I think the main issue here is the lack of time to give him a proper background, this episode was very Violet heavy and so the time went to her.

Personally I don't mind this decision too much since Violet is carrying the show at this point.

So haven't watched the past 8 episodes and probably fell asleep on the 3rd. Duly noted.

>Says the lolicon faggot that shits on ep 7 each chance he gets.

If you call making the episodes boring whenever she gets the spotlight, then yes, she's carrying the show.

But I love episode 7.

Violet was always carrying the show. She's a treasure.

I liked him. His episode had a hogwarts feel to it.

This would've been a 10/10 episode without superhuman Violet. The sad parts at the end with the girl getting all happy only to see the family grieving over the loss of their son, and then when they thank Violet for bringing their son back are very touching. However, seeing Violet skydive in and disarm an entire squad AFTER the guy is already shot was a terrible choice on the writer's part. This is how it should've played out with the precedent that Violet is not a superhuman: Violet solid sneaks past enemy lines and discovers Aiden fleeing after his squad is killed. She attempts to help him flee, but along the way he takes a bullet and the enemy assumes him dead. They allow Violet to flee because she's just a young girl and then events play out like they did in the episode. I really just hate the random spurts of Violet being able to do whatever the writer wants. Her skipping across the water being the worst example of this. If you took away her superpowers and just made her a child soldier this episode would've been much better.

The worst part is that there doesn't seem to be any point to have her still retain her supernatural nature in the anime, they haven't touched upon it at all.

No it needs to be in there. You don't magically lose the superhuman powers which you obtained.

It would be nice if her backstory actually touched on the fact that she's a superhuman soldier. Are there others like her? Was she created through some scientific means or was it magic or what fucking reason is there for her to be the way she is? She's just so out of place with everything else in the show. It's like she was isekai'd to this world from some fantasy RPG land.

its kinda ridiculous how she show mercy to those people..did she became a sage after knowing her fault? why come to the batlefield aniway? so she can relate to the dying soldier?

English please.
Not wanting to kill again != mercy. If they kept going she would've killed them no problem.
The answer to your questions is right there in the picture, dummy.

There's still two episodes left, maybe we'll get something, if not then I'll have to agree with you about the supernatural elements just being completely unnecessary. Don't forget there's also some movies on the way.

nah its just shitty writing.
i hope the goverment enlist her again.

>t. low IQ

Well yeah she's protagonist and no one has more screen time than her.

公正であるためには、バイオレット・エバーガーデンを理解するためには非常に高い知能指数が必要です。プロットは非常に微妙であり、視覚的なストーリーテリングをしっかりと把握することなく、プロットのほとんどが典型的な視聴者の頭を越えることになります。自閉症の兆候もありますが、彼女の性格に巧みに織り込まれています。彼女の個人哲学は、例えば、ナロドナヤ・ヴォルヤの文献から大きく取り上げられています。ファンはこのことを理解しています。このプロットの深みを本当に感謝して、感情的に動いているだけでなく、人生について深いことを言うことに気付く知的能力を持っています。その結果、ヴァイオレット・エバーガーデンを嫌う人たちは本当にばかげているのです。もちろん、ヴィオレッツの深い意味を理解していない「ギルベルト様」は、それ自体が、トルギネフのロシアの叙事詩の父と息子。私はIshidateの天才的な知恵がテレビの画面上に広がっているので、頭を混乱させて頭を傷つけるIRCのシンプトンを想像しているだけです。どのような愚かな..どのように私はそれらの同情。

VEG is just the best!

>i hope the goverment enlist her again.
I got the feeling she'd go back on her own, trying to stop the war once and for all. It would be interesting to see how she reaches a balance between "I want to protect everybody" and "I don't want to kill anymore", it's clear her job as an AMD is becoming harder for her the more she learns about human emotions.
