Story: (9/10)
Realisticly, beautifully, tragically made. It shows you the battles one gets through to get closer to humanity, one that has gone through harsh things and it trying to put her life back together surviving the terrible consequences of war. The complex nature of the human soul is perfectly depicted through Violet's criticism. Her machine-like personality must change due to her job, a job that changes her forever. (I put a 9 in story because I wanted more action. Despite that it's perfect.)
Art: (10/10)
Okay let's be honest. The art is simply beautiful. Colorful mostly but dark in scenes that it has to be. Many may argue that Violet's arms aren't the best thing to call 'beautiful' but I disagree. It's those arms, those flaws of hers that make her so unique. It's through the imperfections that true beauty is emitted. Violet Evergarden is pretty to look at, but with the absence of this understanding, it could never be the real thing, it could never be "true beauty."
Characters: (9/10)
Every single person on this anime is showing their emotions perfectly. Everyone is showing understanding towards Violet because everyone has gone their own hardships and trials. I wish the story included more information and scenes of Gilbert and Dietrich in order to understand more about their personality and background though.
Music: (10/10)
One word: BREATHTAKING! Every single piece is perfectly matching the scenes and causes you chills. It fills you with emotions just as it was supposed to be.
Overall
It is a masterpiece for everyone to watch. The gifted characters, the compelling story and the depth of feelings this anime has are stunning. You will enjoy every minute of it, even if it may seem slow at times, especially if you like drama and emotionally invested anime.
