  Welcome to the thread for the Winter 2018 anime series, Violet Evergarden! Kyoani is known for their generally insanely high production values on their television anime and Violent Evergarden is an apparent effort for them to blow their animation load even harder than they have with something like Sound Euphonium. The show is about a ghostwriting cyborg and her quest to find a greater understanding of someone that was important to her through writing. The first episode did not feature a significant amount of plot development but did a good job providing some tantalizing hints about Violet's violent past, the war, and the overall setting. Cast: Violet Evergarden  Some kind of traumatized child soldier/cyborg, she lost her arms towards the end of some major conflict and understands very little beyond murder and military customs and courtesies. Following a lengthy recovery and the installation of sick robot arms, she now works in Colonel (Retired) Hodgins company and seeks to learn the meaning of stuff she heard her commander say throughout the war. Claudia Hodgins  Founder of CH Postal, he employs mentally ill transient veteran Violet at the behest of his battle buddy Gilbert, who commanded Violet during the war. He has arranged for her to stay with an ostensibly wealthy family, the Evergardens, while she transitions into society. His company specializes in postage and delivery, as well as ghost writing letters and whatnot for illiterate people or others needing their service to express themselves. Major Gilbert Bougainvillea  Violet's commander, seemingly dead. His last words to Violet were "I love you" which is what inspired her to become a ghostwriter. Cattleya Baudelaire  An "Auto Memories Doll" who works for CH Postal. Didn't receive much characterization in the premiere. Where can I watch this before the heat death of the sun? The show isn't as insanely pretty as the videos released in 2016: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CJeDetA45Q But overall it looks pretty drat good, as you can see from the PV: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5xWqjFglsk Please use spoiler tags on any discussion of plot elements of the light novel this is adapted from, including materials that the show seemingly does not adapt as those elements might crop up later than in the original work. Thank you very much! Homura and Sickle fucked around with this message at 14:17 on Jan 11, 2018 |

The series is clearly structured as a slow burn so i think its dumb to write it off after one episode. The first episode of kyoani's dragon maid was loving terrible and that turned out fine
