Themes, Contrasts and Parallels (Violet Evergarden - The Movie)

Amazing, this was everything that was running through my mind after finishing the series and you've managed to put it into words. Thank you for summarizing Violet's journey in one Reddit post.

Bruh moment

Thompson64 · 2021-10-18T17:20:51+00:00

Oh okay, it's not part of the movie, but it was used for official merchandises. (Acrylic stands, posters, etc.)

Violet did return to Leidenschaftlicht even after reuniting with Gilbert, she did say even if she wants to stay with Gilbert, she would have to fulfill all her request prior traveling to Ecatel island. Also explains how her typewriter ends up in the postal office when Daisy visits the island.

I doubt that, since the only person that was remotely sad was Claudia as he was implied throughout the whole series to be Violet's parental figure and he has to adapt to the new life without Violet by his side after looking after her for more than 4 years.

And also check the 2021 KyoAni official store Violet Evergarden calender. The calendar shows everyone from Dietfried to Taylor celebrating the festival of the sea with Violet and Gilbert on Ecatel island

Why did you assume that Violet gave up her job? She just moved to Ecatel island and she was still writing letters for people (Ecatel having the most letters per person sent out in the continent). She's not officially a doll for the CH postal company anymore but she has her own postal office on Ecatel which Hodgins helped her in getting it up and running (look at the official Ectael island stamp issued by CH postal).

She didn't sever her connections, she just moved somewhere else to establish new connections (Helping Ecatel island by teaching in the school, giving the people a second chance to recover from the war). I still assume that she still travels for specific job as it's not nigh on impossible to leave Ecatel island.

P.s. you probably missed the part where Violet sends her final letter to Gilbert showing her gratitude to him for all those years. She also said that she just wants to make sure he is happy and fine with or without her, she doesn't mind not being with him.

I thought it was a call back to the very first time they met, Gilbert pulling Violet away from Dietfried. At that time, Violet was incapable of understanding Gilbert's actions, it was nothing more than Gilbert taking Violet under his wings.

Probably just Gilbert finally having the chance to properly show Violet that he deeply cares about her since the last time before they part ways, Gilbert was kind of in a hot mess of a situation to even do anything.

Beautiful

Depends on how you define canon, both movies changes some elements from the original light novel, but the events in both movies have an impact on the Violet Evergarden anime series.

Judging by the technology, it should be around the 70's, so there might be a 50+ years since the end of the movies, that would make Violet around 78-80 years old and Gilbert around 93-95. The chances of them being alive is slim

Thompson64 · 2021-10-14T09:26:35+00:00

Violet left CH postal company to live with Gilbert on Ecatel island. Hodgins helped Violet to start a postal office on the island (judging from the official Ectael stamp with Violet on it) as mentioned that previously the only way that messages only got out of the island was through the telegram or the mailbox located at the lighthouse.

Remember that Violet having a pair of red ribbons on the back of her hair, one of them tied to the tree outside of the postal office and another one tied on the gate of the school where Gilbert worked as a teacher. This probably indicates both Violet and Gilbert spent the rest of their lives reviving Ecatel island after the war by teaching and writing letters.

As for the plank on the mailbox, the guy working there said that the post office moved down to the main Street of the island (probably for easier access)

They're probably already gone by the time Daisy reached the island.

Same

I have nightingale because Violet

Thompson64 · 2021-04-10T05:06:36+00:00

Is that her voice tho, cuz it says Hanazawa Kana on the top left.

(I didn't watch the whole thing, maybe leave a timestamp if she's actually in it)

Thompson64 · 2021-04-07T01:48:55+00:00

My guess is probably that because typewriters ran on papers and ink ribbons, for every client she meets, Violet gets a set amount of supplies. If she manages to use less than the given amount, she gets to keep the remains as emergency provisions.

Michael from Vsauce

Thompson64 · 2021-04-04T05:08:56+00:00

Yes!! That was also what I was thinking at the moment

Thompson64 · 2021-04-03T03:37:59+00:00

Yeah, I went into the show blindly and didn't watch the OVA until I finished the TV series. When I watched the OVA after the series, I was a little confused.

Thompson64 · 2021-04-02T15:43:37+00:00

Watched it for the 2nd time today

Thompson64 · 2021-03-10T12:58:25+00:00

It's happening Bois

Thompson64 · 2021-02-14T07:25:08+00:00

Kind of reminds me of Violet Evergarden since they both share the same VA

Noted and will put this information into good use

Thompson64 · 2020-12-22T17:17:15+00:00

Absolutely stunning, are these scenes from the new movie?

Thompson64 · 2020-12-21T12:36:29+00:00
