![]() It gave me the impression that certain side characters are worth investing time into. For instance, one of the episodes featured a 14 year old princess who gets engaged to a prince and while this seemed like a cheesy love tale at first, it resolved in a very emotional way. While the plot feels non-linear at times, some of the other characters do get spotlight through effective background storytelling. My main concern for the first few episodes were mainly how this can keep viewers interested with such a way of storytelling.įortunately, the series does get better and puts emphasis in some of the side characters. It also doesn’t help much that the other side characters seemingly react in similar ways to Violet. The example includes Violet expressing why she is an Auto Memory Doll and it gets tedious fast. Beyond her expressions and role, it seems the show repeats a lot of the same things over and over. Unfortunately, I can’t really say that the first few episodes were well thought out in characterizing Violet as a memorable character. The most prominent scenes features her desperately trying to learn what “love” is and to me, this series chronicles her experience like a life journey of discovery. For instance, Violet displays a lot of human characteristics and tries to understand others. It draws viewers into asking questions about how she can develop as a character and in a lot of ways, I think the show did do that quite well. The conflicts she experiences tests her feelings and how she responds to them by trying to understand others. Every episode focuses on Violet in some way through her role in the story, her interactions with others, and how she develops as a character. The story feels like a character study that puts over her above the rest of the cast. ![]() However, the main selling point of the show is titular character Violet Evergarden herself. It synchronizes with the drama and melancholy of what I had anticipated. Beyond the lush quality and the visual magnificence, Violet Evergarden presented a story with heavy emotions. However, I will say that the pilot episode was a terrific picture. The first few episodes came in as anime originals and that left me with some mixed reception. The main plot revolves around an Auto Memory Doll named Violet Evergarden as she tries to discover her purpose in life.Īs someone who came into this series half prepared (I have read parts of the light novel), I felt I was ready enough. However, these dolls were also rented out to others for service. Orland, a scientist who used them to assist his wife in writing novels. Written by Kana Akatsuki, the light novel series is a story about Auto Memory Dolls. However, Violet Evergarden isn’t exactly just known for that but does that mean it’s something to be praised? ![]() In particular, the sheer visual quality is a sight to feast on. Even with two volumes, my expectations going into this anime was high. The light novel series earned the grand prize from the Fifth Kyoto Animation in the novel category. At least that’s what it looked like on the surface. Waking up one day and discovering Violet Evergarden getting an anime adaptation by Kyoto Animation should be a blessing. ![]()
