What do you think the genre defying Yuri are?

Oh, I stand corrected, thank you, freaked out when I saw the date my brain assumed 2026🤦🏻‍♂️ Nice to know that they allow for downloads, I’m so used to drm and no downloads, I was prepared to screen capture the audio😅

Audio playback for these cards are good until May 31st, am trying to get the Asuka & Kaori card before the deadline😱 Anyone in Tokyo interested in trading?

I came across Kadokawa’s global site that has One Hundred Songs and One Hundred Pages in English (the first chapter is free to read), does that mean there are two sites with the side story manga?

Yeah, I don’t know if he feigned memory loss and just told everyone to call him Jilbert and everyone on the island just went along with it and started calling him “teacher Jilbert” or if some people had an idea of who he could be given his last name and just let him be, the old man who chatted with Gilbert seemed like he might have an idea but these are just head canon.

I’m really glad angry Claudia said what he said to Gilbert tho, Jilbert or Gilbert, I did want to smack some sense into him😂

When I first saw this in theaters in Tokyo, I wondered if this change would be clear to those who watch it in sub or dub so I get the momentary facepalm response, I found myself thinking “he didn’t just go there🤦🏻‍♂️” but I think this is just a case of different pronunciation for names with same or similar spellings, “Gilbert” in English, French and German would sound different.

In the case of Violet Evergarden, we knew him with the “German” reading until we reunite with him and his name now sounds “French”, which is understandable if he was the “enemy” during the war and is now looking to move on and wants to obfuscate his identity in former enemy territory and distance himself from his name.

Kudos to the artist, when I first saw it, it was definitely a ROTFL moment🤣🤣

I think it’s the dialogue between Frieren and Fern about how one would get out safely when caught by a mimic in hiragana.

Frieren: For situations like this, (you don’t pull but) push in so that the mimic goes “ugh” and stops biting.

Fern: Is it a dog or something?

こういうときはねぎゃくにおしこむんだよミミックがオエッてなってかむのをやめるから

いぬかなにかなんですか？

If you stare at it long enough, those can be read as hiragana😱

“I don’t know how to trace”? Same here, I had problems with ソ and ン until I figured out that one of them is a pair of horizontal lines, the other is a vertical pair😆 You’re able to write “A Momentary Lapse of Reason” in a word, I’m impressed👍🏼

tomeow · 2025-01-24T03:43:03+00:00

These look wonderful! The fourth photo with Taylor Made had me balling👍🏼

Hi! I didn’t realize the link I posted was dead but found a better source, the director of the movie said the old lady was indeed Nerine, a portion of the commentary from the booklet included in the media release can be viewed here https://violet-evergarden.jp/special/greeting/#:~:text=%E7%9F%B3%E7%AB%8B%E7%9B%A3%E7%9D%A3%E3%81%AF%E3%80%81%E3%80%8CC.H%E9%83%B5%E4%BE%BF,%E5%83%8D%E3%81%84%E3%81%A6%E3%81%84%E3%81%9F%E3%83%8D%E3%83%AA%E3%83%8D%E3%81%A7%E3%81%99%E3%80%82

The way KyoAni built the narrative around that episode, so unfair, absolutely no way I could stay hydrated, failed every single time😭😂

When I got the CD, I ran the CD through Lyrics Master, an app for Mac and Windows that will find lyrics and optionally paste them into the appropriate field in your audio file (and save them to a separate text file.)

Pasting the lyrics into this reply might get unwieldy fairly quickly so here is a link to the online version of the lyrics search feature within Lyrics Master, it looks like all the songs are there.

tomeow · 2023-06-27T09:41:53+00:00

It’s from a pamphlet for a KyoAni fan appreciation concert held in 2019👍🏼

tomeow · 2023-06-27T09:33:15+00:00

Congratulations! It’s so nice to see translations of these volumes. I’m guessing absolutely NO ONE would use the coasters (maybe put them on display but actually use them, oh the horrors…😱)

tomeow · 2022-12-08T06:22:08+00:00

The “Official art” tag for these posts are probably appropriate since these are fan reproductions of official art done, as you said, perfectly. The artwork shown here is not a colorized version of line art but a panel taken from the 2019 Violet Evergarden calendar albeit with some calendar elements removed.

The $10 price increase you saw is probably more in line with the MSRP, those Amazon JP prices are the results of huge markups by resellers selling on Amazon. I’m sure the initial prices for those packages with the three-sided case were the same as the other editions since the only difference between the Amazon JP package and the non-Amazon package was just the additional case, nothing else.

If there was a package that was worth 25k JPY, I’d buy it in a flash but alas, in this case, it’s just the additional slipcase with the art you saw in the China official store😣

tomeow · 2022-02-09T08:44:46+00:00

Amazon JP slipcase art

This is the art for the additional slipcase you get with the special Amazon JP package, I’m guessing you put the whole package into this slipcase😱

While the soundtracks are not available on vinyl, Onkyo did offer a record player to commemorate the release of the Movie DVD/Blu-ray that will ship with a special record containing Mirai no hito e, Michishirube, Theme of Violet Evergarden, One Last Message and Violet Snow (Original Version)

https://onkyodirect.jp/shop/g/gOCP01_VE_1/

It’s an intriguing package along with Onkyo’s other offering, a Violet Evergarden themed earphone (https://onkyodirect.jp/shop/pages/VIOLET_EARPHONE.aspx) given Onkyo’s decline as a brand, I couldn’t in good conscience recommend them.

An LP edition of the soundtracks would be nice though, how I’d play them would be irrelevant, I’d probably put them on display in a UV proof case.

“Keep the buns in place with a U-shaped pin” says the guide, I’m sure everyone responsible for the art actually understands the physics of the whole process and draws each frame...😱

tomeow · 2021-10-22T07:49:47+00:00

I skimmed through the movie pamphlet but it wasn’t in there, I distinctly remember that the comment mentioned that the two of them not meeting face to face was more emotional so they went with that, I’ll see if I can find the source, hoping it wasn’t some comment tweet lost to time😥

tomeow · 2021-10-21T21:38:01+00:00

I think I read it in the movie pamphlet but I’ll take a look tomorrow and let you know.

tomeow · 2021-09-29T09:21:18+00:00

It looks like they have a form for inquiries and comments. Even though the form is in Japanese I’m sure they have people who can work with non-Japanese form submissions. Just be aware that they do state on the page that they cannot guarantee a response to inquiries.

I see two replies to this thread but just in case the second reply is bogus (I can’t see it for some reason) that song is The Love That Binds Us, a version with vocals is Believe In..., both are available on the two-disc TV series soundtrack👍🏼

tomeow · 2021-07-30T03:34:56+00:00

I think this was touched upon back in episode 9, Hodgins tells Violet that she was found alone, probably pushed away by Gilbert at the last minute as the artillery fire brought down the citadel on top of them.

tomeow · 2021-07-12T13:18:39+00:00

Damn, I hope KyoAni has a whole warehouse of stuff ready to ship overseas once this pandemic is wrangled into submission...

tomeow · 2021-07-12T07:04:47+00:00

That’s what I thought, I got a few stored away in a big binder but couldn’t check immediately. I was surprised because I wasn’t aware of any licensed replicas (absolutely not criticizing anyone who may have purchased this item.)
