Its anime weekend normally i would talk about certain genre but instead i will talk about one of anime's most emotional masterpieces blending two genres that i will cover in the future. The series is known as violet Evergarden One the few anime/manga that blends the drama/ romance genres together. The story more based on drama. I will explain the story and unique style along with the message. I will finalize with the movie review.
The story takes place in the 19th century during the war before the phone existed. It centers around a girl used as a tool for war. Raised by a soldier who got attached to the girl. At the end of the war he disappeared after saving her life. He named her Violet Evergarden and told her he love her. He entrusted her to his best friend having him look after her. During that time Violet tries to forge her identity by becoming a doll who writes letters for people. She refuses to believe that the soldir that raised her Gilbert is dead. In the end her main goal is to find the meaning of the phrase i love you. She will discover it by putting the feelings of others in paper.
The Story of Violet Evergarden Is known as an emotional masterpiece with amazing animation that pulls you into the story. This is character study with emotional development. Having the character learn what emotions are and craft her identity. thats what makes it special. The letter she write for people have a story that comes along with it. Some letters are happy others are tragic and so on.
Unlike Other anime Films the movie is time skipped concluding her story emotionally. when something is time skipped starts in the future telling the past story. In this movie Violet keeps writing letters to Gilbert still believing that he is still alive. In this movie Violet tries to find closure to that assumption. It is full of emotions that hit the viewer in the feels. It takes a look into her heart and feelings and closes it with an astonishing ending that will leave you in tears. I give the movie full marks and recommended it.
In the end this is a well recommended series with 4 nominations anime awards. So Give Violet a chance to tell her story and experience it emotionally. This series is the kind that people relate to. Even if its anime it's still a muture story for all ages. after seeing it think to yourself what the phrase I love you means. This story will give you that answer that may change the way you look at life just like her.
