I liked the first episode. The setting here seems reminiscent of post-WWI Germany. Though Hodgkins told Violet that they won the war, I wonder if actually they lost. The damage to the country, and the desperate battle they were in doesn't look much like a victory. Then again the widespread level of illiteracy is more like Russia.

this is so badly written. everything about the big letter drama this episode was contrived, unneeded and undermined by earlier happenings in the episode also having the setting be faux-european and then still have the cast eat japanese food is incredibly lazy netflix subtitles are also awful and some of their lines are nonsensical. the dude's name is claudia cause he wanted a girl, really?

lmao this show is hilarious and i'm pretty sure it isn't intentional what's supposed to be this dramatic presentation of a girl who doesn't understand emotions comes across instead as some of the most incredibly dry humour i've ever seen honestly wouldn't be surprised if she heard "company is failing" and decided to use her soldier training to run a secret assassination business out of the post office to keep it afloat, because of course that's what you do in that situation where the red fern gropes fucked around with this message at 14:28 on Jan 18, 2018 |

I thought it was a pretty good episode. The letter stuff was a little contrived but it made sense to me so it didn't particularly bother me, and anyway I was kind of hoping for a "Violet fucks everything up because she can't into emotions" sort of thing to start out. I like that we got some insight into Erica as well through her interactions with Violet. The writing isn't that amazing so far but I'll take this over isekai LN shlock any day, and the animation is wonderful to watch so that helps make up for any deficiencies on the story side for me so far. I'm enjoying the show quite a bit. edit: ^^^ No I'm pretty sure the dry humor is intentional and that's why the letter scenes come across as a bit over the top when they could have been played more straight if they wanted to keep it totally serious. Like the scene with the angry guy going on about his letter? That's definitely played for laughs at Violet's (and subsequently Erica's) reactions. cathead fucked around with this message at 14:36 on Jan 18, 2018 |

That wasn't as good an episode as the first. The show continues to hold out on confirming Gilbert's death, which is an unnecessary tease. I'm ok with the dry, disciplined way that Violet responds to everything, but it annoys me that no one has tried to sit down with her and at least try to teach her empathy. In the end, that was just a bad character intro episode. Of the three new characters, only one of them seems at all interesting to the overall story. Iris does jack poo poo but type and complain, and Cattleya does nothing but perform the basic functions as her boss like teaching Violet how to press buttons, and lusting after Hodgins. Erica seems to be a mirror for Violet to reflect off of as this person who is outwardly doll-like - just like Violet in a way - but internally super passionate. Lets see how episode three goes.

I have no knowledge of the source material, but I wouldn’t be surprised given the absolutely exhausting way that it’s been drawn out thus far if the big reveal is that Gilbert is actually alive but just wants Violet to stay away from him for some reason or other. Like, he told her he loved her on the battlefield, but he also told her to run away from him right? Maybe he’s slowly recovering from his wounds and just believes that Violet won’t be safe around him, or will fall back into her old habits of being an ultra-loyal murder machine around him, or whatnot It’d still be a pretty dire anime if that’s where they went, but I’d respect it a little more than if the reveal is just “Gilbert dead, Violet shook”

Wasn't Hodgins' use of past tense pretty strong toward him being dead though? Like his whole thing is he can't bring himself to tell Violet the truth and it's eating him up inside so I'm not sure why people are expecting some sort of outright confirmation. On the point of teaching Violet empathy, have people really known her long enough yet for them to even want to? I mentioned this about ep 1 as well but i get the impression most people who interact with her don't know how to approach her because they haven't dealt with someone like her before. She's only been there a few days so considering everyone else seems to already have their own things to deal with, I'm not surprised they're not jumping at the opportunity to try and get inside the head of this weird new robot lady. Erica was probably the first step toward someone even trying to figure her out.

Yeah. I wish the writing would frame Violet's trauma/numbness in less consistently 'beep-boop I am a robot'-y terms, but I feel like the way the rest of the cast is responding to her basically makes sense. I liked the latest episode more than the first. It's still not grabbing me super hard and there's no one character I've really latched onto like in a lot of other KyoAni shows yet, but I'm warming to the cast and the production values are simply faultless.

Yeah if Gilbert isn't dead, then he's probably suffered severe brain damage. And eww the writing is bad in this.

I hope every episode concludes with Violet reaffirming that yes, she does in fact want to know what "I love you" means. At least they have to do it 8 times otherwise I am disappoint.

My gut says Violet's more of an Archer or maybe Ruler than a Saber, personally.

I preferred this episode over the first too since it's a better scope of the cast than the previous. That being said, the director should've retained the LN order instead of going chronological since it really doesn't do a lot to make me care about any of the other characters other than Violet (and even then).

She doesn't know she knows, but she knows. Apologies - I worded my post pretty badly. I'm not talking about the delay to any reveal being exhausting, I'm talking about how the show is repeating certain character beats at a pretty quick pace within the two episodes so far. That kind of rapid repetition to drive a point home (e.g. "The blank-faced girl before me looked just like a doll - like the namesake of the job she performed. Like a mechanical doll.") is what's exhausting me, and by this point it's pretty clearly a deliberate choice that's working a lot better for other folks in this thread than it is for me I'mma drop this one, but I do hope that it finds its legs over time / that it keeps delivering on the aspects that you guys are enjoying already!

The true genius of this series is that it relates the plight of the unfeeling robot person to the audience by making the audience feel nothing. The scene of sad robot what is bad at job standing in the rain while some dramatic music swells in the background let me know I was supposed to feel sad, but I didn't feel sad at all. I am the true robot and thus I am undone. Jokes aside, gonna give this a few episodes to see what they actually come up with given some time, but I'm having a hard time getting invested or feeling compelled by the emotionally stunted waif that imprinted super hard on that one guy who was nice to her once, but he's, like, dead now. Oh, so tragic. It's pretty, I guess?

The show doesn't seem especially substantial or anything but its still early on and looks pretty so I'm staying with it for now.

Maybe the gimmick in Netflix's version is that Violet herself is doing the subtitles.
