Violet Evergarden Episode 8 Reaction

Frieren is great, but is a show still in progress

Једино што могу да кажем након читања коментара је да морате да видите последњи филм. Ако не видите последњи филм, нећете моћи да сазнате крај серије.

LOLA AND MILENA DONT READ!!!! TINY SPOILER No es controversial debido a que Violet ya había cumplido 18 años en los eventos que sucedieron.

Its up to if they think there’s any value in the story beyond the series. I still would love for them to see the first movie. Just the more I hear their thoughts in their discussions the more I think the second movie would be interesting (not necessarily good, but interesting) to watch

For now, we're finishing the anime, but I'd love to see the first movie (2019) with the two of them. As for the second movie, I'm still undecided whether the two of them should see it.

In the book the situation was described as follows, but in the flashback in episode 5 it looked like the ship was still operational, so probably a little different: Dietfried: “I met this thing about a month ago when we completely butchered a shitty armed fleet that was plotting to destroy one of Leidenschaftlich’s maritime trading ports. On a certain night, in the middle of the battle, we were hit by a huge storm. It was a grave catastrophe where both our allies and our enemies sank into the coastal seas. It seems this was in the news. I didn’t know about it because I was drifting at the time.” Gilbert was skeptical at not ever having been informed that his brother had narrowly avoided death, but had no chance to discuss the topic in the flow of the story. “The ship stranded, and I and some of my comrades arrived at a deserted island that wasn’t marked in any map by using a small lifeboat. I found this on that very island. It was all alone, looking into the distance from the top of a big tree. Did its parents die? Did it suffer an accident in the sea like us? We still haven’t found out its identity.” Dietfried confessed. “Its appearance isn’t half bad, right? In ten or so years, it could probably twist an entire country, but it’s still a brat. I have no interest in brats. I don’t… but there are people in this world who do. Some of my former subordinates loved that kind of stuff. They gleefully approached it and attempted to molest it on the spot. We had just been drifting a while prior, yet they were so energetic. That was appalling. I was super annoyed, and was about to tell them to not irritate me any more than that as I went to try stopping those morons, but… before I could do so, this thing killed my underlings.” He grabbed her pale arms from behind and hurtled them around the air. The motion was of a wild beast about to attack a prey. “With a stick that had been lying next to her feet, she stabbed one of them in the neck from the side, then stole a gun from his waist holster and shot him in the heart.” Gilbert could notice from his brother’s expression that he was telling no joke. “We all fled. There are numerous kinds of native peoples in this world. To think that we are the only strong ones is a mistake. If just one of their runts was that strong, how strong would an adult be? But no matter how much we ran, this thing hunted us down. It never got too close, but was also never far enough for us to lose it from sight. We went over the whole island. Our nerves were wrecked. I was exhausted and decided we had to do something, so I had my comrades ready their weapons and yelled, ‘Everyone, kill!’. I had… meant that we were going to kill it. Still,” Dietfried went on with an icy face, “the very next moment, this thing slaughtered everyone in that place except for me.” His way of speaking was of someone who obviously held a grudge. Dietfried looked down at the girl with provoking eyes. “After that, I was pursued by this killer demon. It followed me around without leaving my side. It could have perfectly murdered me, but didn’t. Words didn’t work on it. While I couldn’t figure out how to talk to it, I slowly realized that it was the only inhabitant of that island. Have you any idea how frightening it is to have a killer demon glued to you? When my sanity was finally gone, I said, ‘just kill me’, and then that thing slew an animal hidden in the grass. That’s when I understood… that it had killed because I had ordered it to. Once I reckoned this, I did repeated experiments. For example, if I pointed to animals or insects and said ‘kill’, she would immediately do so like some sort of mechanical doll. Clearly, she would also exterminate people if told to. I don’t know why it chose me. Maybe it was okay with receiving orders from anyone, or might have just submitted to whom it perceived as the most influential person of the group it had encountered. This has little intelligence. It doesn’t speak any language, but can understand the order to massacre. It’s as if it doesn’t need to know anything else. Despite my worries, I let this be beside me as I survived and waited for rescue. I brought it home with me.” -------------- But why he was or is so angry with her will be explained in a later episode.

Robert H.

Is it explained where Gilber's brother got her from? Or why he was angry with her at the end of one of the earlier episodes? That's LM's question primarily.

ODIS

the second movie is controversial, but please watch the first one at the very least! it's beautiful and isn't part of the main story

A Potato

I wasn’t necessarily pushing them for watching the two movies, or at least the second movie, but after their reaction and discussion, I kinda almost think they should watch both movies, and take in the warts and all of the second one

My Toasty Toast

Frieren is great, I’m still hoping for ranking of kings

My Toasty Toast

Not sure where to ask this :) Are you going to react to Blue Eye Samurai on Netflix? it's so good!

8:27 Lola channeling her inner Eren 🤣

Daniel Molina

Regarding Violet's childhood, as far as I understand from the anime, Violet attacked Dietfried Bougainvillea's crew in some random encounter and she killed quite a few of his soldiers before she was captured. He then sent her to Gilbert so that he could have some extra protection. We don't really know who trained her before that or how she lived but it's clear that she was quite lethal by then.

Krul

You're kind of right :D Somehow, for a special, I'd like to see what it would have been like if Kyoto Animation had stuck more closely to the books. There's something hilarious about Violet carving up her opponents with her 2m tall magic battle axe.

Robert H.

You know its kinda wild how young she looked at the final battle. Those 120 days in the hospital gave her like a 4 yr growth somehow LOL

Danny

Spoilers: (LOLA AND MILENA DONT READ) : i dont mind her staying with him just bc they both clearly cared so much for each other, so i am glad they got to be reunited and stay together regardless of how their relationship progressed off screen. I only liked that bc it didnt change her becoming her own person and growing as an individual with different relationships before she was reunited with him. However, im getting way ahead of myself with this topic since theyre only on episode 8 lol

Amber

Spoilers (LOLA AND MILENA DONT READ): Not really, since the last movie only hints at it and doesn't show it. But yeah, that hinting and her giving up her friends and her job at CH Postal Company to be with Gilbert ruined the last 20 minutes of the movie for me.

Robert H.

Anime-Timeline so far: Violet was adopted by Gilbert at the tender age of 10. Gilbert is 25 years old at the time, his brother a few years older. On the day she receives the brooch, she is 14 years old. A few weeks later, the Battle of Intense takes place. She also spent 120 days (4 months) in hospital. She then starts working at CH Postal Company and attends the Auto Memory Doll School for a few weeks. Then the events up to episode 6 (+ OVA) happen in a few months. Then about 3 months later, episodes 7 and 8. I have to mention that the anime uses Violet's character design, which was created before she was made younger. Visually, she is therefore about 2 to 3 years older.

Robert H.

Great reaction as always! Would also love to see Frieren in the poll at some point. Might be even a great replacement for Violet Evergarden once you guys watch it all.

yellowshmellow

Yes! I would love to see their reactions

LostinAoT

Spoilers: (LOLA AND MILENA DONT READ): the last movie basically confirmed it to be romantic imo lol I feel like it wasn’t at first & that changed in the last movie is the way I saw it

Amber

I would love that so much, that show is perfect for them

Jason Parker

You just have to realize that the relationship between Violet and Gilbert in the anime is very different from the relationship between Violet and Gilbert in the book. And I also just have to say that I personally like the father-daughter relationship so much better than the romantic relationship in the book, because the love just feels more genuine.

Robert H.

I just love how much Gilbert cares for Violet, how he wanted to keep her away from the battlefield but she followed him against his will. He still tried to make the best of the situation, and taught her to read and write, trying to give her a future after the war. What a great episode, but the next ones manage to be even better. I'm really looking forward to your reaction.

Robert H.

The conversation between Gilbert and Hodgins reminded me of that scene from Band of brothers where Winters and Nixon discuss their plans after the war. Hodgins even offers him a job at his company :'(

I also really hope y’all check out fruits basket. It would be perfect for you guys

Amber

I haven’t watched all their reactions yet, but I hope they still like the show with the whole age thing. The show is still so beautiful & has so many good plot points that make it a feel good emotional journey worth taking
