"What's for Dinner? Its A cucumber...." lmfaoo im dead "Is this fanservice?" Depends if you want it to be... "A lot of bath time spent in this movie, lots of shower scenes" Not enough if you ask me. "oh no, its the tears song again" Yes... it do be like that in VE sometimes. Sad.

2022-10-05 17:39:31 +0000 UTC@AryTheDog On rewatch I now see this, but why does the movie refuse to focus on any of these feelings? Its never adressed, Violet is never made aware of her feelings, there is no point to it in this film whereas it seems in the original story there was a lot of purpose to it.

2022-10-04 04:43:33 +0000 UTCLmfao bruh they are taking a bath together 20 mins into the movie... Why the hell did they take out the romance from this film??? It would've been so much better. Feels so tonally inconsistent.

2022-10-04 03:25:17 +0000 UTC@Megan If this ended up being a romance film I would've probably enjoyed it a lot more. Felt like something was missing from the main dynamic during the entire film, and now I know what it was. I had completely no idea there was something romantic between the two until now.

2022-10-04 03:22:48 +0000 UTCI remember very little about this film. The main thing that did stick with me was the absurdly good animation. The original Violet Evergarden TV series animation got incredible amounts of praise for its highly detailed and realistic animation style that heavily relied on high workload 2D sakuga scenes. A huge reason for its extreme popularity was just the sheer amount of time and labour that was spent over the course of three years of pre-production to perfect the look of this series, and somehow, just one year later, the studio would heavily invest in the Violet Evergarden franchise to the point where they truly took the visual quality a whole other step up that I frankly didn't even think was possible. The backround art, character movements, lighting, I could go on and on but this movie makes the original Violet Evergarden series look like a student funded college short film. Seriously one of the most breathtaking works of art I have ever laid my eyes on in terms of the raw visual aesthetic.

2022-10-04 03:20:18 +0000 UTCMy biggest unreasonable gripe with this show is that Violet says that with only two strands hair comes undone. This is untrue. Twists are in my hair just about as much as braids are. But apparently Leidenshaftlich still has much to learn in areas other than technology innovation. And yes I AM aware that I'm being irrational abt this but dang it, give Taylor some twists already!!

2022-10-04 03:10:57 +0000 UTC@Goodwin It’s hard to tell because it’s written in Amy’s perspective, we never explicitly see what Violet is thinking. The last quote we see from Amy is “Even though I hid it under our friendship, the truth is Violet Evergarden. I was in love with you. It’s okay if you never find out about that, for all eternity.” That being said, way Amy interacted with Violet wasn’t exactly subtle. I have a hard time believing that Violet had no idea about Amy’s feelings. Disregarding the romance, the novel really gives a clearer picture at how’s much spending time with Amy meant to Violet. It was the first time Violet felt like a regular girl. We get a really great scene in the novel where Amy and Violet leave the school and freely dance together at a festival in the town. We get this quote from Violet ”Up to this day, I have never felt that I am a girl. No matter where I go.” I don’t think Violet had romantic feeling for Amy, but she greatly valued their relationship together nonetheless.

She was also giving doing that to herself,”

2022-10-04 03:08:25 +0000 UTC(Part 2 in the reply) “That is an old and emotionally important letter,” “What’s for dinner? It’s *a* cucumber,” “There is a story there. You are correct in your assumption,” “Violet’s here for like a couple days, and a whole fanfic has formed around her,” “Don’t fall in love with me. I’ll only break your heart,” “I feel not a small amount of emotional danger,” “I SEE YOU. I forgot your name. I want to call you Becky,” “Violet goes from one war to the actual war: the hearts and minds of high school students. Never has Violet seen such carnage,” “Birds. Ceiling birds,” “Dinner was a slice of pickle à la water,” “She’s standing in the same spot, but she feels a lot more free than she did at the start of the movie,” “One notable improvement in the world though, is that he cut off that one long strand of hair,”/ “Oh no! It’s still there. It continues to haunt me,” “Dorm life with a private bathroom is my optimal living environment,”

2022-10-04 03:08:04 +0000 UTCIt definitely felt like a romantic relationship at times. In the source material how aware was Violet of the whole thing?

2022-10-04 02:19:49 +0000 UTCI’ll leave a link to the fan translation of the novels for anyone interested in checking it out. There’s no official translation for any of the Violet Evergarden novels which sucks cause I would love to read and collect them. Amy is very funny narrator, I wish her snark made its way into this movie. Anyway, here’s the link https://dennou-translations.tumblr.com/post/657649910199500801/violet-evergarden-booklet-4-please-feel-free-to

2022-10-04 01:38:49 +0000 UTCDamn that sucks. Would've liked to have seen Violet deal with a girl flirting with her.

2022-10-04 01:38:30 +0000 UTCLETS GOOOOOO

2022-10-04 01:37:44 +0000 UTCThis movie’s narrative structure is a little weird, since you really understand Amy/Isabella until at least the middle of the movie when you see her background with Taylor. It makes the rewatch more more entertaining IMO. Anyway if you were thinking, “huh the beginning of this movie was kinda romantic” That’s because Isabella was explicitly in love with Violet in source material. I guess the creator of the anime chose to bury it in subtext either for time constraints or homophobia. To be fair though, the light novels and anime have always had a lot of differences.

2022-10-04 01:17:30 +0000 UTCYAY ITS HERE My mind immediately went to 'he got stuck on an island, didn't he?'

2022-10-04 01:06:13 +0000 UTCOh whew. You’re so consistent that I don’t think I remember any time in the channel’s history where 3 days without hearing any sort of update or message passed by so I was starting to get a little worried about you tbh lol hopefully travels all went well!

2022-10-04 01:05:14 +0000 UTCHey, Goodwin! Haven’t seen your reaction yet (obviously since it was posted like 30 seconds ago) but I just wanted to say thank you for giving us reactions to these movies! I know they must take significantly more time to edit and upload. So thanks for your hard work:)
