At the end of the season, Violet realizes that she loves Gilbert as he loves her, but is it too late? Gilbert is believed to be dead after disappearing during the war. Thankfully she sticks with it, and through various tasks, Violet starts to understand her own feelings, mainly in regards to Gilbert. You’ll be hooked.With little to no understanding of what love, sadness, happiness, and similar emotions feel like, Violet is initially quite bad at her job. Seriously, if you’re a lover of anime or not, try one episode. You can’t help but fall in love with each of these people, especially Violet. Every episode brought me to tears at some point, and I identified with so many of the characters. The storytelling is heartfelt and wonderful. I still can’t believe it ended there, hence the frantic novel reading that will follow as soon as this post is published. This just about ripped out my heart, I tell you. In the end, Violet finally understands what ‘I love you’ means, and the season ends with that. She refuses to accept his death and continues to follow the last order he gave her–to live full life. We soon learn that the major is missing in action and presumed dead, but Violet only finds out as the story progresses. These customers all learn something from Violet in return–she touches their lives without even realising it. Initially, she has a difficult time of this, but she learns to write letters that say the things the customer was unable to express in conversation. Throughout each episode, we follow Violet as she meets various customers and finds a way to capture and understand their emotions. With this mission in mind, she starts working for the Auto-Memory Dolls, a group of typists who specialise in capturing someone’s emotions and expressing them in letters. She has one mission–the major told her he loved her at Intense, and she must find a way to understand what ‘I love you’ means. He asked his best friend, Hodgins, to take her in if anything happened to him at Intense, and Violet ends up working for Hodgins at his postal company. Violet is recovering from her injuries and learning to use her new mechanical arms, but the major isn’t with her. They suffer a defeat at the battle of Intense, and Violet loses both her arms in the destruction. The major takes her under his wing and tries to convince her she’s a person, not a weapon. She struggles to understand and name emotions, but is then given (literally–she’s viewed as a tool, not a person) to a kind major, Gilbert Bougainvillea, who changes her life. The story is about Violet, a fourteen-ish orphan, who was trained to be a weapon in the war. The art is beautiful, but paired with the incredible scene-enhancing music, every episode left me with emotions all over the place. Now, I’m a samurai/mecha/action-adventure type of anime watcher, but something about Violet Evergarden grabbed my attention right from the moment the trailer showed on Netflix. The author made it available to read for free on her website, and someone has taken the time to translate it.īy the way, this post may contain minor spoilers. I can’t begin to explain to you how obsessed I am, but if it’s any indication, I’m listening to the soundtrack on Spotify as we speak and my Amazon search history will show you I’ve been trying to find the novel in English. Friends, I finished this series in a week.
