Preach. So many of the side characters in this show feel incredibly important and integral to the story in order to push violet forward

Violet Evergarden hands down has been one of the most moving pieces of media i've ever consumed

This show has made me cry more than probably any other piece of media ever, and I’m not even done with it.

I still can't believe how much water weight I lost via tears while watching this show... I think just about everyone can learn a thing or two about empathy from watching this series.

I thought that Roland, the old postman guy at CH postal, played a huge role for Violet to improve herself as auto memories doll. When Violet was devastated by knowing Gilbert’s death, Roland delivered her a letter from Erica and Iris to encourage her, which reminded Violet how important her work really was for her clients, how her letters saved them. In the extra episode where Violet is tasked to write a song about people living through the war, Roland showed her the archives of undelivered letters during the war, which gave Violet the idea for the song, and also the glimpse of the meaning for “love”, as even letters from wartime held the writer’s love for someone they cared. His motto, “no letter should be left undelivered”, reminded Violet of her (and his) job’s importance of connecting people by representing their thoughts through letters. His role was minor in the main plot, much like many other support characters, but still important for Violet’s character development.

While I liked what I saw of Violet Evergarden I was unable to continue watching it. The shows portrayal of the breakdowns and distress caused by PTSD just hit a little too close to home for me. I hope to return to it someday but probably not for a while.

I usually can't stand episodic series, but this show was the one beautiful exception.

I'm late to this the Violet Evergarden train. You're absolutely right, this show has some of the most compelling support characters I've seen in an anime, and it's thanks to their own individual journeys that I pact Violet's own journey and helping her grow. If I could take away one thing from this show, it's that when people are brought together through love, it brings out the best of us.

Edit: I'm tired of getting the same replies from idiots that don't read replies so I'm putting this here. There's a big difference between unemotional and emotionless. Nobody without a serious disorder or brain injury is emotionless. I definitely loved the show. I'm a very unemotional person, but it's caused me to have to cry every time I hear the words "50 years of letters".

I think that this was one of the greatest series ever made. It's so incredibly human and I dont think id ever cried so much than I did watching Violet Evergarden. Everyone needs to see this show at some point

Personally ep7, 9 & 10. All three times for the scenes where Violet expresses her newfound emotion. Granted the stories in these three episodes are great, but by the end where Violet realized she's still burning (great flashback cuts), where she tries to strangle herself & where she cries for the others are the moments hurt the most.

Great job as a Vet and Orphan who lost the love of my life this series hurts in a good way

I really enjoyed this show. I teared up towards the last few episodes. With regards to the side characters. I felt while watching that each of the new characters introduced served as an emotional lesson to be learned for Violet. Lesson in different kinds of emotions, such as loneliness from Leon, love for a sibling from Luculia, love between a child and their parent from Ann and her mother, and the emotion of loss and mourning from Oscar, and so on. I find it amazing how well they were able to combine main character development with great side characterization. It was really impressive. Overall, Violet Evergarden was a nice change of pace, one that I sorely needed. I enjoy anime with mature themes such as this. Anyway, great video. Thanks to you I finally had the drive to watch this great show. So thank you for that.

I was so moved by the supporting cast throughout the show that i actually teared up while watching your KZfaq video. Yep.

Is it just me or does a Violet Evergarden episode feels longer then other anime episodes? Like that 24 minute episode feels like an hour.

jesus christ dude, you can’t just make me cry to a violet evergarden video. y’all remember when the guy threw her brooch off the side? i literally screamed “NOOOOOO GET IT GET IT”, i was so mortified

This video made me subscribe to this channel. In my case i loved Violet Evergarden, the anime made me question how was my relationship with other people, even help me to get a little closer with my mother, with whom I had in the past a few problems. But this video made me realize that philosophy that manage to conquer me, because for a long time I was struggling with my own past, even that stopped me from something I loved doing, writing. That anime left me marked by the meticulous handling of each character ... because that (although it has not been immediately) I have been able to write again; Because it reminded me of the reason why I had started writing: Communicate to others what I felt and immortalize what other people made me feel. Good video continue with this magnificent work, I will be waiting what you are going to upload.

"Anne, Anne, My precious Anne"

OMG .. I really love the way you talk about the supporting cast .. it`s like that U open my chest and look at ma heart and say what I would say about violet .. U really deserve to be one of the greatest KZfaqrs

this was a beautifully spoken analysis. thank you.

8:04 the supporting characters literally supported Violet with that letter

I think Sakamoto was an intentionally unrelatable character. He is an archetype. The relatable characters were the bullies. The jealous people who wanted the unflinching optimism, popularity and success that he had. We are the side characters.

The feelings are mutual. Loved both Monster and Violet evergarden so much.

This is the first video of yours I watch. I also love both anime and philosophy. Just watching your video makes me wanna cry.

Beautiful video essay. It's been months since I watched, and loved this series down to the last second of it. You nailed all these point home on why I love it's supporting cast. It goes to show that Miss Kana Akatsuki has masterful writing that convinced KyoAni to adapt it into anime. Few animes have made a resonating and profund 8mpact like Violet #vergarden. Hell, I couldn't trade this experience for the world. Kudos to you, and more content to come

I kept going back to this beautiful video. I hope you'll come back and upload more contents. Your analysis and videos were amazing! ❤❤❤

Thank you for this awesome video!

Videos like this are why you are currently my favourite KZfaqr.

Loved this, thanks for doing it!

Your videos are really high quality! I suspect with the proper exposure you can easily hit 300K subscribers! Your voice is really, really nice to the ear and the script is well done, so I honestly think you just need exposure now to grow a lot.

awesome video. i am loving your channel ;3

wonderful video ~^^~ very entertaining, and informative about the show's supporting cast

Thank you very much for the video. You make me happy :)

I love Rosso too, definitely gonna check this one out

You made me cry again, thanks :)

❤❤❤❤😭😭😭😭 I love this anime and you talking about it made me tear up! Nice video!

With an anime like Violet Evergarden, you HAVE to have a supporting cast! What I took from this anime is that Violet is not only having an affect on these characters, they are also influencing her! Did anyone notice that Anne Magnolia has a granddaughter named Daisy? I'm betting that her mother (Anne's daughter) is named Violet! Also, at the end of the movie during the "pinky swear" scene with the Major, Violet has both her parasol and her stuffed dog. That tells me that she went back to Leiden to get them and to say goodbye to everone at C. H. Postal Company.

Wtf yesterday I finish this anime What is this timing 😂😂😂 Good work on the video please continue👍

Episode 10 was moving. So moving in fact that it overshadows episode 11 which was a tearjerker as well.

Excellent content

Beautifully explained!

Thank you for this video. I had seen the series appear on Netflix and even watched the first episode, but I did not think I would like it. I nearly missed something beautiful.

You have both the voice and the writing to succeed on this medium

glad I found this channel

Just reminding me of ep 10 made me start crying. Goddam that was a well made show.

A highly recommended series, a master piece.

Loved this series and its definitely among my top five...Also the first anime to make me cry.

I enjoyed a lot🖤

Episode 10 was a real tear jerker.

Speaking of supporting casts, in regards of the reboot airing right now, is it possible to make a video on the Legend of the Galactic Heroes? The original OVA series have 110 episodes and it would make a great episode on warfare, ideologies in relationship between government and its people, and the importance of history.

As always....worth waiting for!

Dear lord, just the mention of the sick mother angry daughter episode made my eyes all misty again... Dadgum onion ninjas strike again!

notif squad!

i love all of youre videos pls come back

This show is such a tear jerker

I cried during the review, that's how powerful this show is.

Have you seen The Ancient Magus Bride? It does a similar thing with its supporting cast especially the main supporting cast and supposed villains of the episode of the day. Its also a heavily relatable tear jerker at least for me. Highly recommend.

It made me cry so much.. oh no now im crying

This video made me cry just like violet evergarden. Its so beautiful and the memories

Nice explanation you got there....

I love all of them The series tath has make me cry like crazy

I couldn't hold the tears past episode 10

On episode 11 wondering: why am I binge watching this!? This is the saddest show I've ever seen in my life....and one of the best...

Imagine listening to this really touching analysis... Suddenly... DIO VOICE.

Yeah, is very hard not burst into tears by seeing this anime, and I have seen a lot of anime, read tons of books, seeing tons of TV Shows and movies, and to me is very hard to get emotional by seeing fiction, but most of the episode of this anime seems like a punch in the stomach.

Hey, will you ever make a video on Mushishi? It's one of my favourite shows and I think it deserves to be recognized more than it has already.

Honestly, I found this serise almost too compelling and a bit of a serious emotional drain. I mean I wanted to cry pretty much every episode, and did for many. I would say this isn't something to watch without a tissue box handy if you are particularly empathetic lol

Please make more videos❤

I love this anime

I miss this channel :'(

I actually didnt pay much attention to the side characters. I was too invested in violet, mainly bc of her being a child soldier reminded me of many characters from metal gear solid. I hated how my friends disliked this anime bc it was “boring”

Well Done…worthy of an auto memories doll

What makes a good protagonists dispite his or her Darkest past, is a good supporting cast. People to help them along whether or not they need that help or even deserve it. For me its why I like writing characters with dark pasts with there own emotional trauma amd baggage they have to haul. Thinking they can carry that wight alone. When in reality they cant. Its to severe to carry on like that alone. You need people who see you for who you are dispite the flaws of the past. To see the good and show you the good you have done to keep you away from that Darkest part of your being telling you lies like a serpent from the depths of your consciousness. Its also why i like a lot of Red Songs.

Can you do a video on the animated movie In this corner of the world. Its on Netflix right now. And its an emotional and heart warning movie. Unfortunately I feel like not that many people know about it.

I found my favorite channel

I hope you will be able to read my comment. I'm not sure if you're still active in making such beautiful videos but I would like to suggest some anime that I would like to know your insights: - Babylon - Haibane Renmei - Sora yori mo Tooi Basho - Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu I immediately subscribed upon watching your analysis about Monster and Serial Experiments Lain. I hope you're doing well and Stay Safe!

Great video I just watched vilot evergarden English dub was really enjoyed it Gilbert vilot needs a happy ending I like how vilot wanted to know about love

You are a god! You just made me binge watch you videos in one afternoon. I devoured every word you said like it was air for my lungs. Every phylosophical concept that you bring in these anime videos make me wanna go read again some Nietzsche, Platon, Sartre etc. Your channel was the missing puzzle from completing the entire way of analyzing an anime. Your chose of words are marvelous and enchanting. Please keep up the good work!

Death Parade is criminally underrated.

violet evergarden is a wonderful show. i love all the episodes.

Cool

why ep10 why must you make me a waterfall ITS FRIGGIN 3AM WHY

"That the way they viewed this issue was incorrect."

I liked it but I either found that there was a little too much emphisis these these supporting characters rather than the other main supporting cast. I am talking about the characters that Violet works with. I felt more connection and familiarity with the cast you mentioned than the other, supposed, main character. Aside for one, none got an episode to themselves and my experienced suffered because of it. A lot of times when Violet was at her office building or needed something done some of her co workers were just there. I felt I didnt know them enough to explain themselves why they were there or why they did the things they did. Its been a few months but I cant remember their names, but the dark skinned busty young woman happened to be the ghost writer for the Princess's fiancee or how the very same young woman had a thing going on with the blonde guy in the office. I am not totally sure why she was specifically there, I knew why Violet was the Princess's ghost writer but not the other woman, to me it could have been any other woman. For the implied couple, I dont know why exactly this had to be made apparent and I didnt see the build up to this since these characters didnt really get screen time. I think the biggest failing of the anime was that these coworker characters didnt get much screen time, so we suffered from a lack of familiarity, which didnt make the show as engaging and the show could have been better. (sorry this is a little messy but its an hour past my bed time)

My fav is the older post man

What's the music that plays around 7:00-8:00? It sounds like a cover of one of the OSTs

I have witnessed the deaths of some of my relatives, the pain of losing the ones people love. But I don't feel even a tiny bit of empathy towards them, I didn't even feel anything at my grandparents' funerals. Maybe it's because I don't understand what love is, but my grandparents cared about me so much, yet I don't feel anything. I can't relate to the side characters. However, I can somehow relate to Violet a little bit, I am not sure why, but her experiences resonates in me.

I still can’t understand how a series made me cry like a lil bih on episode 3. dude wtf?

I LOVE VIOLET EVERGARDEN

How about The Lost Song?

Her:it resonates with her Me:my,the eye it resonates

Yes, Ep 6. They Create A New Ship.(Leon x Violet).

I binged the whole series in a couple days. Including the movies and special episodes. And it honestly made me really upset. That's because I identified too much with Violet and that feeling of emptiness. How she was always searching for that 1 person that cared about her and gave her meaning. So, I guess this series was really good

Best netflix original anime

Episode 10 :(

i didn't watch anime to cry goddammit this anime

Totally unrelated, I would recommend you to practice a very distinct latin pronunciation of "amor fati", because it currently sounds like "a more fatty" and it's hilarious and probably only happens in english

Violet Evergarden gets more praise than it deserves IMO. The whole concept is great ( an emotionless human being, always abused and used as a weapon, that goes on a inner journey to discover her own humanity and the meaning of love) but the execution is lacking. Every episode was, my god, so sloooooow. And I'm usually ok with slow shows, I enjoyed Cowboy Bebop to name one. But the atmosphere in Violet wasn't as magical as Cowboy Bebops. There are a few cool moments, but usually evey scene drags on for too long, or it is inconsequential. In one word: BOOORING. After 9 episodes, I had to check on wikipedia if anything relevant happened, but since that wasn't the case I dropped it. I'm okay with this "inner journey" of the protagonists, but the plot must go on. I expected something big to happen, like, something that endangers the new human bonds she formed, but literally nothing happened.

Its not sad for me but why I start crying when she crying tho?😖

Ann Magnolia :'(
