I like Violet Evergarden, but this movie was a big miss for me unfortunately
Finally found someone that I can agree with!
While animation, music, acting was all absolutely amazing the story feels like a forced happy ending imo.
I’m not saying she doesn’t deserve a happy ending but that one feels too unrealistic.Don’t quote me on that but I’m pretty sure it originally didn’t have that ending planned and it was changed later at some point during writing. I’m trying to find anything on that but I’m failing to find it. I’m sure I’ve read some interview mentioning that years ago though.
E: Wait? I think I found something? https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2020-10-12/violet-evergarden-director-discusses-his-initial-hesitation-about-creating-sequel-film/.165111
“In the TV series, whether Gilbert lives or dies isn’t shown, but even if Violet were to never meet him again, she would live on,” he said. “Personally speaking, that’s the entirety of the story I intended to tell. So when talks of a sequel came up, I actually said that there was nothing else I wanted to do. But when I read the plot that the scriptwriter Reiko Yoshida wrote, it was so believable that I was spurred to action. I came to think that it was fine for Gilbert to live. This was a little less than two years ago.”
E2: But the novel finished years before that so I guess it was a set stone already. The anime supposedly changed lots compared to novel so maybe in novel it was smoother compared to anime that didn’t intend to include that ending.
Yes! I think the ending flies in the face of what came before
I remember being quite disappointed and disliking it. Checking my stored rating and review note, I did put it under 8/10 though, which confuses me quite a bit now. Maybe it wasn’t as bad as I remember.
Still, it certainly didn’t reach the exceptional levels of the series and side/prequel movie (Eternity and the Auto Memory Doll).
Well deserved
Absolute cinema

I’m a bit confused why the 2024 awards award a 2020 movie!?
The Dolby Cinema Japan Awards aim to recognize the creators and works that have been produced using Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos technologies in order to contribute to the international development of Japan’s content industry.
I guess it’s not yearly awards. Or it’s the first one?
Godzilla Minus One
Does that mean 0 Gozillas?
