Violet Evergarden is the masterpiece we don't deserve. Today I want to talk about how this show elevates itself above its contemporaries.

As a veteran of the US Army (1991-2013) and longtime anime fan, I have never been so moved as I was with this show. I so hope this program gets more promotion as not just a good anime, but as a way to teach family and friends of a member of the military of the changes they will encounter; covering both Violets’ struggle with being an amputee and her mental health issues. The episode that touched me the most was the one with the veteran who need a crutch to get around. Seeing a character dealing with both mobility issues and Survivor's remorse brought be back to when I was medically retired from the Army. Seeing Violet go from being this cold and emotionless person to someone, who is able to open up and share her feeling, reflects how many come to cope with the pain of things seen and actions taken in deployments across the globe. And yes, I too was brought to tears many times.

Thank you for your service! And i agree with your points, what a good anime

[@rosemmagutierrez1386]

I saute you. I hope that Violet Evergarden may someday be shown to our other Veterans or at least be a mandatory show for those who want to be in the military in the future.

[@rosemmagutierrez1386]

@@CorkSnapple I love your KZbin Username. Your KZbin name reminds me of ME when I was in Middle School and Highschool. Watching these type of shows on TV on Toonami is what began my interests in the Japanese Culture. However, I had to learn about these shows ALL ON MY OWN. School and my Family Members DID NOT TEACH ME about these shows no. I had to learn them ON MY OWN TIME in taking it to my OWN INITIATIVE. But I at the time DID NOT KNOW what the word "Weeb" even meant. How I discovered that name was thanks to a PSN Friend who told me about it as I was online playing Naruto UNS 3 during the Summer of 2014. Years ago when I finally had free time after being done with my School activities, I too would go on the Internet and watch these types of shows. As well as I would go on my PS3 and Xbox 360 and play online these types of games. Now that I am older and now have a PS4, I still endulge in these shows and look up on the Internet Anitubers like Joey Bizinger; Noble of Lost Pause and Gaijin Goomba but with a little less free time.

[@LeosWorld1]

KyoAni really outdid themselves with Violet Evergarden. From a production standpoint this anime is fantastic. But what impressed me the most is the attention to detail throughout the show. The sound design in particular is one of the best I have seen, or heard in this case. There are always little sounds in the background, stuff like chirping birds or gentle winds that probably went unnoticed by many, but add so much tho the immersion and make the world of Violet seem much, much more real.

[@d_wang9836]

Leo's World - Anime Videos Berserk (1990s) version had much worse animation, but the emotions we're way more realistic than this crap.

[@TheDrTwist]

you know i'm so glad you said sound design, because that's exactly what I thought the moment I heard the metal clinking of Violet's hands.

[@ManimeMatt]

My favorite are the little injuries everyone gets. They usually take a couple of episodes to heal.

[@jasonl.842]

I'll say it. I'm 31 years old and I bawled my eyes out to this show every episode, starting with 3. It's unlike any show I've ever seen of any medium. I've not found any way to describe it that would ever do it justice, because its depth can only be understood through seeing it. It's an exceptional, beautiful story that will obliterate your feelings at every turn. I feel bad for the people who'll miss out on it, just because of their own prejudice of it being an anime. I've heard it referred to as a "cartoon" and that makes my blood boil.

[@NotReinaHamazaki]

Episodes 7 & 10 ended up cutting me like a knife...

[@karafrost5420]

I finished Violet Evergarden, like, 10 minutes ago and I still can't believe what an incredible masterpiece this anime is. I can't remember the last time, a story has moved me like that, it's simply amazing

[@Lazulite]

I really loved this anime. The music was unique, Tha characters were all different and no one was perfect. I nearly cried almost every second episode. I don't really get why this anime doesn't get more attention. Yes people don't like it because it might be boring for them but if you take your time for it and don't think about anything.. I think you can truly enjoy and get immersed in this anime. I couldn't agree more.

[@prestonhd1497]

I cried as well and I love this anime because it goes in depth and that is amazing

[@PWNINSWAGMASTER]

I did genuinly enjoy this anime for it's overall beauty in many aspects and its emphasis for the concept of letter writing, but honestly I think there's a little too much crying. There are some episodes where I wish Violet and the character she's working with would just smile upon parting ways and that's it. That's the only negative thing I have to say about it.

[@unor1ginalname]

This anime was recommended to me but pretty much all my semi-anime friend (I was known to be well informed about anime) and it took about 6 moths of convincing for me to watch and now its one of my fav anime of all time and introduced me to the behemeth called KyoAni.

[@ckmeh9974]

I completely agree. This anime is amazing and it's such a shame it hasn't gotten the reception it deserves. I hope KyoAni keeps going with amazing projects like this.

[@emmadraws14953]

Violet is one of the only protagonists in a very, very long time that I've been able to care about and actually enjoy and appreciate. I've seen the same character traits used in many different forms, but never done quite so well. Bravo

[@seanim6846]

Bro, I am so with you on your point when it come to being afraid that there won't be another master piece like this. I am guilty of it. This came out in 2018, only got to watch it now, Feb. 2020. I'm like, I have only watched action animes all my life. Drama anime just don't get me because after all drama is very humane. Then along came Violet Oniongarden.....Hands down this was a masterpiece.

[@thompsonlim3247]

Dude, it's 2020 now and I still couldn't get the show out of my head. I have probably forgotten most shows I've watched in the past few years, but this one has stayed with me for the longest

[@Levi-lr4vi]

Sorry 'Violet Oniongarden'??? Lolllll

[@rhiannemiller6913]

I feel like not many people liked this and idk why?? The only problem i had with it was that i wish the side characters got more screen-time, but everything else was super good. The animation, music, storyboarding and Violets development (im kinda glad they put it as a slower development and didnt rush it cuz it felt more natural and heartfelt). This anime didnt even feel like a love story tbh, its so unique and beautiful. BUT WHO WAS THE PERSON AT THE DOOR AT THE END???

[@jakoblikessushi5070]

Rhianne Miller literally the fucking anime is called violet evergarden and so supposed to be about violet

[@rhiannemiller6913]

JakobLikesSushi yep I am aware of that, I just would've liked more of the characters to follow through in the story, instead of just being one episode characters.

[@jakoblikessushi5070]

Rhianne Miller why no about more about the side character? It doesnt really go with the story. If they have an ova that would be call but in the actually anime honestly it doesnt really fit in well

[@hairglowingkyle4572]

It's definitely not Gilbert Because if it was, Violet would be tearing up so badly, and possibly giving him a hug

[@kabnoot]

When I first watched the series, I cried at least once in each episode. The way they get you to connect and feel what the characters are feeling is intense. No form of media has ever gripped me like this show has.

[@eugenefindit]

I'm glad you love this anime so much. While not my absolute favourite from the season, it is a close 2nd. I'm quite upset by the amount of controversy this show has garnered. But to be honest, I wasn't too surprised. Violet's initial personality was very likely going to turn a lot of people off and a lot of people didn't like the episodic nature of the show. However, I knew what the anime was going for from the start. The anime definitely did one thing I expected it to do: Give great character development to Violet. And honestly, they absolutely nailed that part. I was satisfied. That's really all that matters. ^_^

[@anirudhdiwakar987]

What's was your favorite then? I imagine it would be REALLY great to rate above Violet Evergarden.

[@FlameSkull95]

I could not agree more that i already did with this video. This show is quite possibly kyoani's most ambitious project of recent memory, and that's pretty much their umbrella, willing to take risks in order to try and achieve success It's a shame that this show was so polarizing in terms of overall opinions, despite it's absence from the mouths of the community like it was mentioned, because i feel like this show has a lot of needed attention (only if it wasn't for a certain streaming platform to add fuel to this argument) Violet isn't only my favourite of the season, nor one the best of 2018, but it's also one of my favourites of all time

[@DragonSlaya817]

I truly believe violet evergarden is a masterpiece as well

[@stopit9950]

truly im glad to be born at this age, Violet Evergarden is a masterpiece, a treasure, that has affected the audience in different ways, it may has changed the way we think, like it did to me, watching the anime in one day, that day, has been a rollercoaster of emotion, that left an impression on me.

[@emilimarc]

Same, i watched the anime in one day. That day is unforgitable.

[@afiqirfan2911]

This anime is a masterpiece that no other anime could compete the greatness

[@HaoPieldeoso]

Yesterday morning, I woke up ready to relax my day off away, when I saw the review on Violet Evergarden made by GlassReflection. I decided to give it a shot. The following describes the 12 hours that came after my decision: Episode 1: Yeah, its entretaining enough Episode 3: I'll stay, got nothing better to do Episode 10: I haven't cried like this since 2002 Last episode: DON'T GO! DON'T LEAVE ME VIOLET!!!

[@jackquentin1950]

Good lord, Episode 10 and 11 made me cry - the ugly I-just-lost-my-friend type of crying.

[@icantthinkofaname1009]

I don’t keep up with the anime community’s opinions at all, so I’m really surprised to go through these comments and see how many people didn’t care for this show. I had no expectations for this show and ended up adoring it. I loved the slower pacing and episodic structure. Watching Violet mature with every encounter she had made watching her confront her own past and her grief feel so cathartic. The show clearly had the budget to do big action scenes as shown in the flashbacks and ending, but had the restraint to realize that would cheapen the themes of the series, and I feel that restraint in something that is often missing in anime even in some of my favorite series. In my opinion this entire series was practically on par with a Ghibli film. It wasn’t afraid to dive deep into some of the most hopeless parts of life while always retaining this optimistic glow. Violet’s Journey was simple and straightforward but I was fully invested in it.

[@emilimarc]

Really? Im disapointed with the comunity. Violet is a masterpiece.

[@genebohannon8820]

An Opera of anime akin to works like Miss Saigon or From Here to Eternity. I have introduced this to my friends son. My friend passed recently to cancer at 51. His home schooled son is 16 and naive. 2500 miles from my home I have been down twice to just be there for them. Thank God I planned my life differently so I could be there to help. Shows like this are better than video games and teach lessons with emotion!

This video needs to be seen by millions. Great video. Looking forward to the next video on Violet E

[@davidjoshualuneta1470]

I just finished the series a few days ago and I can't believe that an anime series like that can make an impact. I am just new to anime started from MHA and Demon Slayer. Seeing the show makes me feel a lot emotional. The characters, the setting, the plot, the lessons, backstories, music, and so much more!! I really don't know why the anime community isn't talking about this show that much as well. Pretty much, there were only few fanarts that I saw in Instagram. Overall, you're right. This needs to be talked about as much as the other animes. (The video was posted 2 years ago and I just watched the series a few days ago XD)

[@sixeyesheavens7]

I really understand that some people just want to watch shows where they would be entertained without having to draw any meaning to it but there is already so much of that and more will be released in the future. But Violet Evergarden literally gives you something you deserve to watch and learn from. The world of this show is filled with trauma and pain and misery, a world where somehow saw war and lived war like there was no tomorrow and having a hard time moving forward. Violet's story from this person who was a weapon of war to this person of her own will and resolve is one the best movements of character plot ever and she does this by learning from other people. It is still about Violet Evergarden, but she watches how people feel, live their lives and try to understand what it is to be a human being despite all the layers and the complexities which allows her to learn more about herself and also allow herself to feel more human than anything else. This journey in the lives of many characters shows her that there is more to life than accepting orders and just being someone's possession. And by learning all about it, she finds out more about herself and those words that Major Gilbert said to her. That's her journey and it is an interesting one, something worth watching and understanding and giving it time to resonate with you as a person and human being who too tries to gain some kind of growth by being around people of different backgrounds, lifestyles, stories and beliefs.

[@MrGutty117]

Thank you, Matt. I'm really glad someone else has been able to put my love for this show to words. I have never watched a show or movie that had me this emotionally invested or attached before. The amount I've physically cried over some of the later episodes has been something I've never experienced before while watching something. The art, music, cinematography, and voice acting is all superb; I think masterpiece is the only word I can think to describe it. I know the writing and pacing isn't always perfect, but perfect is boring. This is the most unique show I've seen in a long time and deserves much more credit and love from people.

[@cake756]

Love your review. I have the exact same admiration for Violet Evergarden. This is the best anime I have seen this year, and probably the last 5 years. Some of the episodes I rewatched more than 10 times. I mentioned somewhere that Violet was unable to describe what she felt about the brooch as she never learned the word beautiful. And I was also unable to find the word to describe how beautiful the show was.

[@evanezerscr00ge]

You talked about the art but bypassed the cinematography and more importantly, the art of the sound design of this entire show. You know what Matt, I'll just go make that video myself.

[@musicwarrior7630]

This anime holds a special place in my heart, it simply hits every key like you said every emotion and i think its just a spectacular anime on its own level. i was captivated by it as soon as the beginning of the first episode

[@bambooing8078]

About a few days ago I watched it, and I cried almost in every episode. I saw the show around but I thought it was just a boring slice of life kind of thing. The art, the characters, the way emotions are portrayed- and how the characters mimic what people would act like when in situations are all beautiful. I was in for a ride when I watched this. Each episode, even though just about 22 minutes, for me seemed to span for so much longer. It just has this ethereal air to it.

[@lgjgamer1396]

This anime is like everything I wanted in an anime, and more. This is my pick the best anime and my now personal favorite anime of all time. I legit cannot pass the emotional scenes without getting the chills, or sobbing, or both. The colors of the animation is just fantastic and the music....HOLY SHIT THE MUSIC!!! This anime has honestly the best music out of any anime. It really connects with the tone of the story. But yeah I wish I have more to say about this anime, but I'm just speechless. Violent Evergarden is the best and I will remember this till the day I die

[@mattehyew9110]

My most favorite element in Violet Evergarden was the total character development Violet had. You see her become more human than machine as she meets with all these different people, and how she is able to grasp on the idea and feeling of love as well as being able to understand the experiences she has had with those people and the major. Her transformation from this emotionless shell that feels like an automaton into a full fledged living being capable of having and comprehending emotion is what really brought this series to life in my opinion

This Anime is very wholesome and good I felt something that I never felt before because of this i felt like it needed to carry on its something emotional about this series that hit me in my heart about what happened and the setting of it all I felt happy that it all went well and I had a feeling that I never wanted this to end and wanted to carry on with the story and I had a part that hit me emotionally because it actually happened to me my aunt passed away when I was 5 and I had the same feeling as that little girl when you lose someone that is so close to you it feels like you lost a part of yourself and that made me cry for a straight 30 minutes because it reminded me about her death and to make it worse it was a suicide this is one of the most things that I feel comfortable about and made me warm inside like how violet truly known how to discribe feelings

Violet Evergarden was truly a masterpiece I was not worthy of watching in my opinion, and the 2 things about it that I've seen since watching it is that 1. I'm not that big of a cryer, but I can definitely say that show made me cry at the end of most of the episodes AND movies, and 2. No anime currently that I have in my watch list at least or even know of is even going to come close to compairison and it kind of hurts to think that because it's almost ruining anime for me. I absolutely loved this show so much that no anime from this point forth will ever be good enough, on one hand, that's a good thing, because Violet Evergarden will now forever have a place in my heart, on the other, if I can't enjoy anime in it's diferent forms after this, then what?

Episode 10 is so so fantastic bc i was cring and i was smilling at the same time , it's so amazing !

One thing that amazed me was how quickly they quietly show you her method of 'feeling', those small bites she gives things that are important to her carry so much weight. The moment that realization hits that with the loss of her hands her lips are her one real way to interact in a way that we take for granted.

I love it, it's different from other anime I've seen where every episode relys on drama, whereas here it's satisfying to even just look and listen to, I myself found it emotional, in the way that we want Violet to feel but she can't she doesn't understand it. And if you do like drama and battles the flash backs in each scene add more tension and made me wonder what really happened to Violet to make her this way and why Major seemed to be the only one who made her feel anything, what happened in the war. Overall I truly loved it.

This is the beauty of anime as a medium. Unlike movie, books, visual novels or games, the exaggeration of detail or scene (example is that from episode 10 with Violet leaping through the lake), they'll able to throw feels right into your face. This anime enhanced by movie cinematography makes even small subtlety convey message beautifully. I think Violet Evergarden can be rewarding for those people who can spot those subtlety. Anime 9/10, Review 9/10

I completely understand what you mean, when I finished it I was speechless I'm glad that someone else understands

My bro got our parents who aren't anime fans to watch this show and they loved it. In fact, it was my dad who pushed for "just one more episode" and called the series addicting.

I barley saw the show today and couldn't stop watching it, yes it is Amazing...

Great video Violet evergarden was definitely the best show of winter 2018 and also a strong contender for anime of the year.

[@daniel092550]

Not like it had any competition LOL

[@reasanka8667]

funny because it wasn't even the main attention of everyone in the anime community after winter season ended. Everyone was jumping on SoraYori as the best winter 2018 and hold the spot of the strongest contender for AOY. Spring so far has nothing noteworthy (there's S;G 0 but that's more like the fan-base is strong rather than show is actually good, still hasn't ended but nothing particular astonishing about it.)

The saddest part was with the sick mother and the 12 year old. It wàlks up to your feels, then beats it up to the brink of death

[@soniagutierrezquiroz5596]

I'll never forget this show.
