Why The End of Violet Evergarden Matters

The Violet Evergarden Movie was such a emotionally cathartic end to a franchise that is so important. Today I go through the film and what it means to me.

I watched Violet Evergarden back in early 2019, and since then, I haven't spent a single day where I didn't think about it. It's been a while already, but I still find it hard to believe that Violet's journey has come to an end. I'm just so happy that I came across this anime and decided to watch it. It will always have a very special place in my heart.

[@Random_Dude4486]

I feel you man...

[@ismailsahan3472]

Yeah I feel the same

[@AnointedFlow]

Yes indeed! Just a beautiful production all around!

[@itsblitz4437]

I still have to yet to even watch this whole series.

[@AnointedFlow]

@@itsblitz4437 just had to tell us that huh?

[@Kevmane_the_bird]

I too was initially really upset that Gilbert ended up being alive because the first season's ending felt so complete to me. It felt like some major themes in Kyoto Animation's adaptation were how to move forward through trauma and that your past doesn't have to define your future. Gilbert being alive felt like a huge backpetal on those themes and some others. While I haven't completely come around like you, hindsight and your video have made me realize that his storyline in the movie does help strengthen some of the other core themes in the series, which I can appreciate. Either way, Dasy and Yuris's plots alone make me absolutely adore this movie, as did the continued world building.

[@NinaReviewsThings]

I am thesame as you. Maybe one day Ill accept but I truly felt like Gilbert being alive is only done for fan service. It is a misstep for Violet’s growth. But maybe she cant really grow without him.

[@sproutbeans4410]

Ahh these are just some of my thoughts- But as someone who watched the series knowing Gilbert is alive, I still could see why people would be upset over Gilbert’s survival. However, I think VE theme had always be centralized around emotions, especially her love for Gilbert. At the end of the series, Violet only stated that she would tell Gilbert she finally understood what “I love you” meant if she saw him. I think her character growth was written beautifully, but I also believe the movie only managed to show that emotional growth much better. In the series, it displayed more of how she came to understand emotions, love most importantly, but never really was able to write/verbally say it out. However, in the movie- Violet was able to finally express out the most important emotion in VE, when she wrote “I love you” to Gilbert, which was a big step from initially just planning on telling him “I understand what I love you means” But yeah that’s just my opinion haha

[@sproutbeans4410]

ah i wrote a fking essay lol

[@johnnywang6635]

I too was a bit mad but it was a momentary thing. They didnt faithfully adapt to the light novel. Bits are missed and the entire order of the story and a parts of it are anime original. If you read the light novel the experience is vastly different especially how the story is written, the anime was very much based on violet finding what "i loved you" meant which caused her to develop as a character and overall the romance aspect of violet was more heavily emphasised in the anime. In the light novel (for the first 2 volumes) it was also based on this curiosity to find what "i love you" meant but if you read later on past the 2 volumes you will find that gilbert being alive also helped her develop in other ways and honestly its quite nice and it takes it further than finding what "i love you" means. Thus i didnt find myself all that bothered by gilbert being alive but i can see why some will. But at the end of the day happiness is happiness and i was just glad violet got to find gilbert and does not hold the regret that she didnt save him and understand what he meant when he said that to her before he disappeared

[@pong6377]

It didn't really matter whether Gilbert was alive or not. What went slightly "wrong" in my opinion was how violet delt with that situation and how it felt like Gilbert didn't earned it, writing wise in the movie. That's probably the reason why I cringed a bit when he said stay with me to violet. With how the movie was executed as a whole, I would have probably prefered it if they met but also went their separate ways. But I would've also been fine with the original ending if they could've just built it up better.

[@Assassink309]

Spoilers from the new movie, caution when reading. You can just tell how much violet wanted to say i love you and how much he meant to her. All she could say was 'I' and 'major', the first words she uttered as a child. Such raw emotions. Someone who was raised as a tool, can cry so genuinely. The major who never cries in front of anyone else, broke down infront of the one he loves. (Spoilers as i go deep into their philosophy) He felt guilty, he felt undeserving of even touching her, consoling her after what he felt he forced her to go through. He couldn't protect her, he caused her to lose her arms, he couldn't give her a happy childhood she deserves but in the end, he still loves her. He couldn't stand being separated from her even a second longer, not being with her as she goes through life. He was afraid of what might happen to her and can't stand the thought of her suffering on his behalf. All he needed was an answer, he needs to know how she feels no matter, whether its love or not, and then he could die happily knowing she has matured. Thankfully, it was a happy reunion. She was saved by him. Brought out of abuse, given a purpose and someone to protect. At first, he thought it was for protection but eventually both reliased it was out of love. She loved him ever since they first hugged, even before he confessed, he was the first light to her ever perpetual darkness. She would do anything to protect him. He is her first and only true romantic relationship she ever develops. No matter who else tried to charm her, she won't allow it because the one she loves has always been around her neck. Spoilers. They eventually vowed to be together forever and never leave each other side. They affirmed that they are the only one for one another and sealed the deal with a kiss. Both are disabled. One lost both arms, one lost an arm and an eye. But if you asked them, they would unquestionably say it was all worth it as their impact on one another is and will always be priceless. They would do it again in a heartbeat. Since childhood, he has a fear of loneliness. As a high ranking militant, he was sought out for status instead of authenticity. But now he has reunited with the one he loves and the same goes for her. If there is another season, it would dive into their respective insecurities as they have to spend time apart due to their respective jobs. Finally vented. 😞 Thank you for such a well crafted story. My heart is still recovering from reading the novel but as the author put in the epilogue, remember no matter what you are going through, violet will be waiting. No matter the place, time or situation. She truly is extremely precious and a masterful piece of creation.

[@ruby7951]

"The one she loves has always been around her neck" made me tear up

[@alaynawelker]

this is so beautifully written. I just … ahhh this anime has truly changed my life. where did you read the light novel? because i’ve been wanting to read it for years 😭

[@Assassink309]

@@alaynawelker Thanks for reading 😊 You can read the entire series on Tumblur by dennoutranslation. You can start off from volume 2 chapter 13, whereby Gilbert and Violet were reunited on the train. Spoiler but they reunited way earlier than in the anime/movie. The last episode allocated to Dietfried was supposed to be Gilbert's role when saving her. Though all dialogues in the movie from Gilbert are also in the novel as well. A must read are Volume 4 chapter 4 and chapter 5 ever after, which are two of my favourite moments when the couple was interacting with one another. Of course if any official sources are made available, do support the series in any way you can cause they deserve it. Have fun reading!

[@alaynawelker]

@@Assassink309 thank you so so so much!!

[@farabinass2973]

they kissed? seriously?

[@peetr1283]

When it first became clear that Gilbert is alive, I was honestly kinda mad, because the fact that he is not is what helped Violet mature and come to terms with her emotions (at least that is how I saw it). But apparently Kyoto Animations just cant ever fuck up :D. The best send off to a series I have ever seen.

[@hayabusahithosi9587]

yeah i'm with you, with somehow the major is still survive after a straight head shot, blood loss, and close hit explosive damage from a grenade. it's truly testing your limit in suspension of disbelief.

[@TheDwagonHD]

@@hayabusahithosi9587 judging by the audio design.. it wasnt a straight headshot. As you can hear a metallic sound before he started bleeding/falling. This is also prob why he lost his helmet after that moment. My guess is that the bullet hit the inside of his helmet, shattering it, and shrapnel going into his eye. In a realistic sense, his most dangerous injury was his arm that got blown off together with violets. In all honesty, he had a way higher chance of survival than Violet ever did. (Losing both arms like that would cause you to bleed out in minutes. even if it had happened right next to a hospital her chanses of surviving the bloodloss and shock is close to zero. Ofc the same goes for gilbert but he just lost one arm) And iirc, by the position of the grenade when it exploded, gilbert was covered alot by violets frame. If your suspension of disbelief isnt broken by violets survival, then gilbert surviving his injuries should be an easier thing to swallow.

[@pdpgb]

They basically wanted to have it both ways. Gilbert is dead so we get to see Violet's reaction and the character development that comes from it even years later. But at the same time Gilbert is alive so we get to see the happy ending and Violet's journey be rewarded. Might not satisfy everyone but I was happy with the movie at least.

[@KevinNyaa]

The Violet Evergarden Movie was such a perfect send off to the franchise and I'll never forget just how emotionally resonate this series is. Kyoto Animation made a modern classic that will be remembered for many years to come. Hope you all enjoy and I'll see you next time! :)

I had the rare chance to watch the final movie in theatres, believe me when I say the hall were full and everyone sitting near me were sobbing every 20 minutes for the entire duration of the movie. The TV series felt complete, but the movie gave Violet a closure that she never had in the series. Thank you for your detailed analysis and kudos to KyoAni for one of the greatest story telling I've ever seen in an anime.

[@brokenlotproductions]

The movie/show broke me man, I just want Violet Evergarden to keep going and going, but this might be the end of it. It was such a good ending. The only other show that made me feel this was was Code Geass. Violet Evergarden will be my favorite for a long time.

Letter Bee is underrated. It's also about the importance of letters but there is more of a fantasy and mystery element. Here's the blurb below "Gauche Suede is on his last delivery before a big promotion. In the outskirts of Yodaka, the darkest area of Amberground, Gauche is surprised to find that the package is a young boy named Lag Seeing. Lag had been traumatized by his mother's abduction and is due to be delivered to his aunt. In this remote area rife with Gaichuu, Lag and Gauche face a dangerous journey that inspires Lag to become a Letter Bee."

Great video, violet evergarden is def. one of my favorites too, I really enjoyed a silent voice too, might be my number 1 pick. Keep up the interesting videos

[@marcodalessio9305]

U have really pretty tastes

[@vachagan2007]

I still remember discovering Violet Evergarden while being broken by the ramifications of war. And honestly I can't imagine what would have become of me if I hadn't accidentally discovered the anime. Violet actually connects me to such deep feelings and memory that just watching your video was a struggle, only the OST of violet is enough just to revive those indescribable feelings... I really am glad not to be the only one who learned and improved a lot thanks to the work of art made by KyoAnim

[@camcam794]

I’ve seen some veterans say that her story is very relatable to what they went through during war, and how they felt Integrating back into society. Hearing their stories helped me understand Violet’s character better. I really understood the boy’s attitude with his family. I was in the hospital multiple times in 2021. I was beyond frustrated, because I hated being stuck in a bed, in the hospital, to an IV, and there was nothing I could do about. there are so many things I want to do, but can’t. So I ended up taking my frustrations out on my family. It was very hard to convey the emotions, and things I wanted to tell my family. So I just bawled my eyes out watching those scenes with him

[@atogon_art]

I remember watching Violet Evergarden: The Movie the day it came to Netflix. It was and still is a heartaching conclusion to a series that taught me the importance of conveying emotions and how letters can still be of value in an age of technology.

[@shironasama0445]

I am forever grateful I got to watch this movie in theaters, and I would pay double or triple just to go again. It was an anime I’ve known for almost 4 years now, and it was one of the first I watched weekly. I was a senior in High School, now a Senior in college. Nothing short of a masterpiece from start to finish, and it means a lot to me. I feel like I’ve become more empathetic and introspective as a person because of Violet. As long as I live, I will remember it’s impact on me.

[@soniagutierrezquiroz5596]

I'll always hate myself for taking two years to see this show. When I first saw previews of this show back in 2018, I thought it was going to be boring and slow. I was too quick to judge and didn't even bother giving it a chance. But two years later in 2020, I finally made time and watched it. And I tell you, I was proven wrong in so many ways because I cried. Anohana was powerful, but this story took it to a whole another level. Now that I have relived these feelings, I can truly say that this show has now become One of My Top 5 Anime Legends. Thank You Kana Akatsuki for delivering Violet Evergarden to this Earth!

[@CaptainZhariff]

I've been holding myself back from watching the movie knowing that it would end the story as a whole. I don't want to feel empty after finishing it, similarly when I finished other anime series that I truly love. Deep inside me, I want to know that Violet Evergarden is not yet ended but, sooner or later, everything needs to come at a full stop. This anime means so much to me... I'm going to gather my strength and watch it this weekend. It's time for me to finish the story and enjoy each and every beautifully crafted frame till the end for the last time.

[@aliiftakhar8969]

I don't know if you got around to it, but I ended up watching it a few days ago. I kept delaying it because, similar to you, I did not want to feel empty after finishing it, knowing that this was the last of the franchise that we'd get. The emptiness stays for a few days but the movie was exceptionally beautiful, both story and animation wise. If you did watch it by now, I hope you enjoyed it!

[@chihei4033]

I'm just like you man. I still haven't watched the movie & don't actually wanna anytime soon. But I also wanna move on. I'm so confused. Violet Evergarden is my Life at this point.

I wasnt sure if i should write this, as I am so invested in this story. Violet Evergaden is the BEST anime, EVER! I laughed, cried, my emotions were all over the place! Anime conveys emotion, more than any other medium! I have waterfalls of tears, while typing this! THANK YOU you beautiful medium, for making me feel again!

[@Waywurd08]

In a world where it’s especially hard for men to be honest about their emotions, whether it be the patriarchy, toxic masculinity, or ridicule from friends, watching this show made me cry and understand empathy like no one else could, and really changed me as a person and made me more emotionally mature, and I truly believe I’ve become an empathetic person because of violet evergarden

[@KevinNyaa]

I definitely agree with this. There's such a terrible expectation that just because you're a boy, you shouldn't be allowed to feel emotions or empathy. You just have to 'deal with it'. It's such a toxic mindset and I'm glad series like Violet Evergarden can teach people otherwise.

Recently, I rewatched the series, and also watched the two movies that I didn’t get to when me and my Mom first watched the series. And…god DAMN, the second one here REALLY put some holes in my heart. When I saw the kid on his death bed and all that, I felt like I was almost gonna cry. Damn, what an emotional rollercoaster.

[@bowserops2799]

I recently finished watching everything i could find on Netflix for Violet Evergarden. And its been a year since this video was uploaded so probably no one will see this, so ill be brief but i wanted to say what an amazing story it was, i dont really watch anime, but i saw an AMV that used VE as the video (it was only really the war parts) But it was enough, enough to get me interested and enough to spike my curiosity to go find it and watch what i could. And as far as i can remember ive never cried to a show before and i havent really cried in a long time. But after finishing it, i cried. This anime broke me, and im glad. It broke down the walls i had built so high and so strong that nothing could get through. So now ive made a promise to myself, a promise to rewatch this series atleast once a year and a promise to write letters to my future self, but not only them but letters to those close to me. I will not type them, but write them with pen and paper. Call me old fashioned but im not good with speaking words and texting can be insincere but a hand written letter could allow me to express the things i wish to say but dont have the strength to speak them. This is my promise. I know i said ill try to be brief and i doubt many would see this, but to those that do. And though I have no power to say this but I encourage others to take up a similar promise. A promise to feel and if you cant speak the words you wish to say. Then grab some paper and a pen and start writing and hopefully you will be able to express them. And remember "No letter that could be sent deserves to go undelivered."

I totally felt what you said about the anime making us feel emotions that we do not find in live-actions. Most people wouldn't understand how a serie of animated drawings and 2D characters could convey so much feelings, but I am proud to be one of the few that do. I don't know, Japanese animation has a way to do with these things that always make us tear up at some point. I'm glad to see that people in the comments feel the same, and at the same time I am pretty sad that most of the persons out there won't give a shot to this kind of series simply because it's japanese animation. Still, I hope that in the future the story of Violet Evergarden continues to expand worldwide and captivate the hearts and the souls of humankind. Thank you for your video sir, you did a wonderful tribute to the serie.

What an absolute masterpiece 👏. So glad i stumbled across it on netflix. Such an emotional roller coaster 🥲.

[@user-lr6hw4dq4t]

Initially, I really okay with ending of gilbert death, and the fact that gilbert still alive were made me bit dissapointed. But, honestly, after finished this movie, I couldn't express anything but gratefull to enjoy this plot. Becuz its tell us about Violet is still deserved to be happy, like all of us. But If we're not deserved, we're responsible for the happiness itself, whether by giving nor given. In many ways, our humanely instinct will strive for that. Even after traumatic rejection, Violet still be gratefull for Gilbert still being alive, an insipre her. But thankfully, we're human, as a creature of "being inspiring" and "being inspired". Let's says this good ending is a prize for those waiting patiently, for the greater good in the future.

This show is my alltime favourite for a reason

[@Gaia_Gaistar]

Very beautifully made anime but it never really appealed to me enough to watch, I can't take emotional stories well without losing it so I tend to avoid them half the time. But I swear to you it took me all these years just to figure out whether or not Violet is a robot or a human, and I don't mean metaphorically. It was driving me nuts in the back of my mind. My own journey has come to a close.

[@AC03115]

Great work with this video. You again put perfectly into words why I love this show so much! It's the first show that ever made me cry while watching it and it honestly changed my life and made me a more emotional and empathetic person because of it, it helped me be more open with my emotion. Great job with that connection between the Kyoani tragedy and this movie, I didn't even think of it that way and now I honestly want to cry. Violet will forever be my favorite character in any piece of media ever, and I'll never forget Violet Evergarden as a show and it's impact on me.

[@jua6421]

Violet Evergarden has taught me a lot. It made me realize a lot of things with human connection. I agree, that there can never be another series like Violet Evergarden.

[@BenJaMindReacts]

Thank you for this! Your "emotional masterpiece" first video got me to dive into this wonderful show, and i can't thank you enough. It opened up some corners of anime i hadn't yet appreciated. Violet retaught me a lot about love and listening and the power of communication. Your video led me to this beautiful art, and if i ever have a daughter, maybe my Violet will thank you

[@Fawn2499]

Just finished watching the anime. Great video.

[@ViVianic2]

one dream, that's all it took to send me down this rabbit hole of Violet Evergarden, and i don't regret a second of it yet i still can't hold my emotions together with this specific anime, and i don't know why, even after emotionally maturing from the message it conveys, i find it hard not to tear up to this

[@kathrynhale1898]

Broke my leg bk in June and have been stuck at home. Just binged this series in the last week. Idk it really has stuck with me. Very emotional for me.

[@karlniccolojao9890]

there isn't even anything sad, but i started crying halfway through

[@paula3109]

The best drama anime I've seen so far

[@Queen-lf2oi]

This has changed my life. I became more of sophisticated and more mature person after watching Violet Evergarden and I've never found myself trying to hurt someone else's feelings after seeing something as beautiful as this.. at least not on purpose. It is the most beautiful series I have ever seen

[@sippinhotcocoa5934]

I loved it so much that I saw it three times in the cinema since my country was lucky enough to get it. The fact that the opening makes it so apparent the words on screen with Violet walking are addressed to the audience as a thank you letter for all the support Kyo Ani was given in the tough time just makes it that much more heartbreaking and emotionally driving to such a large degree. Truly Kyo Ani's greatest masterpiece in my opinion.

[@CaaziPianoSheets]

And these videos are why you're one of my favourite anitubers. Violet Evergarden had a big impact on me and I'm glad you make videos on the series because it's one of my favourites of all time, keep it up

[@kindram]

Sitting here watching this, I was in tears. I love Violet Evergarden, the show has taught me a lot about emotions as I still don't understand myself 90% of the time. The show is so beautiful, the only show that could ever make me cry, especially ep 10 that one hit deep! I relate to Violet a lot which is why I love the show

[@sofiahowlader8949]

this entire video has me in tears again god. why did i watch thia and remember this series again, and omg i never know that happened to kyoto animation... a tragedy im so sad rn.

[@itismeanttobe]

it was def a great one that makes you think about it and remember it for years

[@aerilynxaliteas]

The series and movie really resonated with me. It is incredible...

[@dawesome_sauce]

I'm a late comer to the series, but man did hit me hard. This movie was a fantastic ending to it.

[@kfdhbdj9224]

I was really hesitant when I heard that Gilbert might still be alive as it could potentially ruin the story and journey that violet has to take. But somehow KyoAni is able to pull it through and make it worked, which create a really satisfying ending to the series as a finale.

[@KennedyCX]

Thank you for rekindling my love for Violet Evergarden. I am now going to watch A Silent Voice. If you've seen "Plastic Memories", it's another tear jerker.

[@DABUNGINATOR]

The movie was very good, but it would've been better if Gilbert really did pass away. Moving on isn't easy; however, it's very important so that we don't suffer the rest of our lives. Instead of mourning his death, Violet could've learned to smile at the memories of him living & being so kind to her. It would've been an important message that, no matter what tragedies may happen, we can still carry good memories with us & strive to live a happy future. Though, Gilbert being alive wasn't detrimental to the plot. Everything that happened between him & Violet in the movie made sense. Seeing the two finally meet up & go through all that pain almost made me cry.

[@Chode216]

Should come with a warning, have a box of tissues close by. Episode 10 was a real tear jerker am glad you made it very well done.

[@arcanonn]

Episode 9 punched me in the gut so hard that I had no tears left.

[@Agent_Missouri]

Well done man. Violet was one of the first anime I was introduced to and it’s been one of my favorites. I’ve shared it with my wife and she really enjoyed it as well. It’s an amazing and very relatable story and the Animation is breathtaking. I’m sad it’s over however that’s one thing I really respect about anime is they have a story to tell and once it’s done they don’t mill it for more content and get cash grabby.

[@SlartiMarvinbartfast]

Great video as always.

[@miketobin8099]

I feel that him being alive and her throwing away everything for it makes sense emotionally for her, and it’s beautiful in a way. But I personally think it’s bullshit, she grew beyond that and became herself alone and with strength, then ran away like a Disney princess

[@koolkidz9193]

good break down you have a new sub

[@canadianidiot1220]

I love Violet evergarden. Every time I listen to its music, I relive the emotions I felt watching it for the first time. I can’t help but tear up when Violet grasps her throat to end herself. When I got to watch the movie, I sat through the credits. I couldn’t read them, but I knew it was the name of those who had passed yet given me one of if not the most beloved show I’ve seen.

[@dusteny8698]

I dont even wanna start writing the next 400 word comment on one of your videos. Just know, I've started crying before reaching the 5 minute mark.

[@apollomars1678]

to be honest, i really hate the ending, because it proves, that a characteris unable to de-connect from her past, because of love. It was a mistake to bring him back, it would have been better to make a disabled enemy to a common friend, not hinting romantic intention in this friendship. Guilt on both sides mixed with hatred turned to happiness by communication.

[@shadowninja1275]

Nice video man, Violet Evergarden is a beautiful masterpiece 😄

[@funtimeLJ6789]

I loved this anime. It's so beautiful and the animation and music are incredible. It has made me cry so many times.

[@blindedbliss]

8:20 - A lot of thought, from multiple staff-members was put into each element of these works, which is made very clear by "Staff-Tabletalk" section of free "Violet Evergarden Artbook" (i.e. the collectors edition box-set). Thank you for putting into words, what I am unable to. Violet Evergarden is one of the list transformative works of arts every observed. It alone, changed my life in a major way. It alone, holds the power to make me cry repeatedly throughout. KyoAni perfectly encapsulate the meanings behind 'emotional catharsis'.

[@blindedbliss]

8:45 - I prefer the English voice cast, overall - yet, there is no denying Ms Ishikawa's excellence.

[@statz3697]

still need to watch this guess im gonna binge it real quick brb

[@lajosszucs8166]

I think the movie also showed a pretty accurate picture about falling into deep depression, with Violet working more and more, even on her day off so she can supress the pain within

[@MrEmatthewh]

Violet Evergarden is such a beautiful piece of work.

[@fa7355]

I didn’t cry while watching violet evergarden, but oh my god I’ve never ever wanted to cry so badly. But this anime didn’t feel the same after the relationship went from father to daughter to lovers. I don’t understand why they had to make them lovers. I mean you can love someone without being attracted to them right? They could have ended it off like A Silent Voice, it really would have been so much better. The major hates himself for hurting and ruining the life of a little girl. But instead of saying sorry he falls in love with her? Why lmao, it makes zero sense i was hoping it would have a good ending

[@dibaonguyentat600]

I remebered crying a lot watching this series, it was art, it is one of the best anime that i will never forget.
