Oh heck yeah. I needed an excuse to finish this one!

Chris Reyes

I need you all to know that I was catching up on 8th MS Team episodes while doing squats in the gym, and when Nick referred to Evangelion’s LCL fluid as “baby juice” I was almost crushed to death. Still here though!

I loved the series violet evergarden, but was disappointed by the ending of the movie (that's not a healthy relationship by any means). I predict that Heather will be frustrated we won't see too much of Violet being a killer machine.

Sexy Grandma's Retirement Home

Nick saying that Cattleya has biggest mommy pacifiers he's seen in fiction makes me think he's not as cultured a man as I've been lead to believe. I demand to see this man's pervert card to see if it's still valid! Also, this show is great and I hope it ends up turning you all into a crying mess like I was when I first watched it.

The Mountain That Abides

This anime is absolutely my shit. I haven't been this immediately drawn in by the first episode since y'all did Chainsaw Man. The animation is impeccable. The music is AMAZING. I have the suspicion Violet Evergarden is gonna leave me in tears at least once before the story is over and I am all for it.

Matthew Siegel

I made it through the first two episodes but am tapping out. Show looks amazing, but I’m not connecting to its wavelength. Thankfully I pay for the hosts, so I’m looking forward to hearing you three enjoy it.

I’ll share my opinions on the show at the end since I’ve already seen it. But I wanted to comment on Wiger’s Piece for a sec! It looks like Nick has completed the Arlong Park Arc, which is usually recommended as the first arc for people interested in One Piece to try out to see if they’ll like it. I love that arc; even though its scale feels minimal now compared to what comes later, it brought my emotional investment in the story to another level. Incidentally, last year I started the manga and wanted to check out the anime, so I actually jumped right to the Arlong Park Arc, loved it, and sped up my manga reading to get to it quickly. After that I was off to the races. If Nick wants to jump back into the anime, that little 14-episode arc might be a good place to start!

So keen for y’all to cover this show! 🥰 I watched the first 11 episodes early this year and absolutely adored it but ultimately fell off because it was a bit too emotionally heavy at the time 😅 - glad to have an excuse to come back and finish it off. Cant wait for next week!

I'd always heard that violet evergarden was great, but had never gotten around to watching it till now. I really enjoyed these first two episodes particuarly little things like Hodgins sacrificing his own money to buy the pendant from the black market. I look foward to seeing where this beautiful show goes!

Cheddar_Goblin

I’m watching this concurrently with the Star Wars Clone Wars series, so in my head cannon Violet sustained her injuries in the Clone Wars.

BensDecoy

Glad I listened through the episode before commenting so I can summarize by saying I agree with Heather and the group at large. Likes: Everything but the character of Violet Evergarden Dislikes: The character Violet Evergarden. It’s not exactly the same thing obviously but I’m sorry, I’ve been watching these “delightful misunderstandings about human social behaviors by a robot coded person” since Lt. Commander Data from Star Trek TNG in the early 90s. There has to be some kind of interesting flourish on this bit coming. Without that I fear the more they will try to dial up the emotions the more I will check out.

Arthur Newman

They were selling gunpla at my AMC when I saw twisters.

Michael Pemulis

I'm glad this was mentioned, in the episode, I love the lighting in this show. Everyone who's lived in cheap apartments understands the hatred of fluorescent or bare bulb overhead lighting. If you're living in a place that came standard with overhead lighting, invest in, if you can afford to, a few floor or table lamps, and some soft white light bulbs, to use as your primary lighting in your livingroom and bedroom. And I guarantee, no hyperbole, whatsoever, your mental health will improve 400%. Disclaimer: I'm not a mental health professional and I guarantee nothing. I'm just an internet nut with strong lighting opinions and a one hour lunch break.

Notrock

I'm someone who cries pretty easily when it comes to media, but this show is so over-the-top melodramatic that I just kind of laugh instead. I honestly dig the fact it's about as subtle as a tornado siren and can't wait to learn more.

Valencia A. Lopez

Wiger hit the nail on the head when he commented that Violet is autistic-coded. I said the same thing literally like 10 minutes in to the first episode, and as an autistic person myself, we can usually sniff out our own. Also, shout out to all the different names for gazongas y'all used throughout for Cattleya's chest balloons. And as for a girl anime? Does Revolutionary Girl Utena count? It's fantastic. Cattle-yaaaaassss

Hey Heather, Nick, & Matt, love all your podcasts! I usually am pulled in immediately by the shows y'all watch, but I felt taxed wading through these first two episodes. It was a relief to hear Heather articulate her misgivings about it. Honestly, I was groaning with every maudlin reveal about poor Violet--I want her to be happy, but God. It's beloved, so I have hope that it gets better and more incisive, and maybe subverts the tropes that it's so far seemed to offer earnestly. Here's to keeping an open mind. It is undeniably beautiful.

i'm with mat in thinking that the CSM manga has been dragging its feet but when something happens, it really HAPPENS y'know

Lark

Not loving this show for some reasons you guys have already discussed: I’m all full up on seemingly emotionless women-doll-robots learning what it is to feel or be human or whatever. What might save it for me is if we get really into the letter writing! A show about writing on behalf of the illiterate, about the power of words and the finesse of writing to express feelings in-between feelings, conveying gravity or lightness, how an expanded vocabulary can expand one’s ability to understand and conceptualize- like Arrival or the “newspeak” bits of 1984- that’s the good stuff!

I could listen to a full episode of Heather just coming up with new slang for jugs

Eddarrd88

Great Bazoonga Moongas!!! 👀 I wonder what Jay Leno would think about Cattleya and this show?!

MacheteOfOdin

I think I might need to rewatch this show along with the podcast because I'm only having vague recollections of what you all are discussing. It's been years since I watched it originally and I honestly can't believe I don't remember Cattleya's Jumbo Tsurutas (RIP King). I think the perfect shoujo anime for you all to check out would have been The Vision of Escaflowne (it has a mech!). Unfortunately, finding it streaming anywhere is not easy. It is my wife's favorite anime, so I ended up buying it on Bluray and ripping it. Maybe keep an eye out for it if it starts streaming somewhere. If you want something that's more of a slice of life/romance story and easy to find, check A Sign of Affection. It's really sweet and cute. Some might consider it boring but it gives me good feels.

Transfem Surge!

Matt's close, SAC is a 10, The first film is close with a 9.75. Even tho this was my least favorite of the franchise so far, it's like getting your least favorite ice cream for free. Free ice cream is still free ice cream, even if you don't like the flavor. Giving it anything lower than a nine, for my preferences? Not a chance.

Zeon Liberation

A raptor isn’t a specific bird but a word for all birds of prey so owls, eagles, hawks, etc etc.

MK

I'm liking the show so far, my favorite bit in these first two episodes is Violet winding the gear on her elbow to adjust the tension in her hand. It's cool conceptually and animated very nicely.

Tmacc

I am SO excited to watch this, it's been on my list for awhile. I've been told I'm going to cry, and I cannot wait to feel these feels.

Luke Lamar

Matt, you have seen a baseball anime: The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. Also, GITS: Innocence was perfect the moment Batou flipped his dog's ears out of the foodbowl

Zeon Liberation

I loved Violet Evergarden. Watched it during the pandemic while I was also dealing with a colicky newborn. So maybe the emotional connection I had to it may have been a bit heightened. As a total aside, as a way to improve basketball they should implement a penalty box like hockey or water polo. The penalties would need to be short 10-20 seconds of game play in order to incentivize scoring guaranteed points faster and trying to force turnovers during power plays. The big man would be vital once again!

S

get lycoris recoil vibes, and i miss the buddy cop dynamic from that show, but the visuals in this are fantastic so far.

FuryGarruk

I was going to just listen to this arc and not watch along, but then Nick described his favorite character and I realized I needed to watch this show.

Murphy

Hooted and hollering. You’re covering one of the few anime I’ve seen and the one that inspired me to watch anime as an adult.

Old Man Kate

I don’t think this show is for me. I’m 4 episodes in and it is mostly plotless and melodramatic. I enjoy slice-of-life stories but I don’t think I’ll enjoy an entire season of meandering force-fed emotion. The heavy-handed score doesn’t help.

Patrick M.

This anime is ok. I think you should do Samurai Champloo next. I honestly think it would be perfect for this show.
