Violet Evergarden is a masterpiece that will make you feel once again through its brilliant storytelling and excellent presentation of emotions. The stories revolve around our protagonist, Violet Evergarden, and how she meets different people and has unique experiences through her job as an Auto Memory Doll to eventually grow as a person and understand human emotions better. These experiences enable her to not only understand other's feelings better but also hers.
Violet Evergarden is beautifully crafted in many senses. The stories are touching and sincere in how one sympathizes easily with all the characters. Not only are the emotions portrayed throughout the series relatable and truthful, but the way in how they are presented in the series make them very strong and profoundly beautiful. They tug at the heartstrings that some have long forgotten they had because of their extended lack of exposure to impactful content such as Violet Evergarden. Every story they have to offer is packed with emotional content and the way they pack it all together and present it is alluring which brings me to my next point—visuals.
The series' visuals are stunning regarding the animation style, color schemes, and lighting. It is a series that is appealing to the eye much like pieces of art with many scenes being incredibly detailed and being rich in color. There is no mistake in saying that it is one of Violet Evergarden's strongest aspects is in it's visuals. Not only is it all visually pleasant but it isn't tiring on the viewer to keep watching it.
Finally, last but not least, the characters. Our main protagonist, Violet, is very charming. Make no mistake, she has her flaws and shortcomings but these all contribute to her growth being much more enthralling and beautiful. She is a lovable character. One of those for which you actually root for and wish them the best of luck. This is very good since the series focuses on her development on understanding emotions and how to articulate them. Furthermore, Violet isn't the only good character in this series, albeit the most important one. Since all of the stories are so heavily emotion packed, most, if not all the characters have actual personality, issues, and purpose. They actually feel very human, especially so after meeting with Violet.
Throughout the various arcs of Violet Evergarden, the show deals with various themes like dealing with the I Ii II L of loved ones, understanding and articulating emotions, the importance of proper communication, love (of course), and many others. All in the form of beautiful stories.
My linguistic capacity can't truly do justice to how good Violet Evergarden is. It is a series of compelling story after compelling story. The characters are charismatic while feeling very human since have more depth than most others. At first, I came because of the beautiful animations; then, I stayed because of the beautiful stories. All in all, Violet Evergarden is a precious anime that tugs at the heartstrings of those who watch it. It is beautiful.
