Episode 10 is my absolute favourite. You can see the twist coming from the first minute but when the ending comes, it hits like a MF and I tear up. It's just so masterfully done. The first time I saw it , I mostly identified with the girl. This time I gave my baby daughter a really big hug.

Man this show sad as hell what am I doing crying my eyes out on a random Tuesday???

Hey so I started watching anime for the first time with this podcast and no one told me that anime would be making me feel my feelings like this. What the hell man! Five stars

Me at 6am, starting episode 10: this episode is gonna be a cheap sad, obviously the mom is dying and the letters are for the kid. 🙄 Me at 6:22 am, having forgot that I'm on HRT, and crying my eyes out: IT'S NOT FAIR! Even Violet was crying! 😭

I think episode 10 was the point in my recent watch where I really solidified the feeling that the show wasn’t working for me the way it was intended or the way it’s worked for other people. Episode 10 has a 9.8 on IMDb and reviews calling it one of the best anime episodes ever, and I was just left thinking “Really?” It’s fine, good even, but the emotional beats really don’t hit for me the way they seem to hit for other viewers.

it sounds like VE is a show that only does two things. one of those things they do very well and the other they do fine, if not just middle of the road, and the show is choosing to make the lesser of the two things the main focus. Also, ranch has the correct cookie take. Those blue tin cookies are only good for holding your grandma’s needles and thread.

As someone who had a parent pass long long before she was supposed to, episode 10 hit my like a truck full of bricks. I haven't had a cry like that in years, it was very cathartic. Say what you will about the mom in this one, but I'd love to be able to get letters from my mom, you know? Thanks guys, this is probably the only episode I'll feel this way about, otherwise I'm pretty much with you.

These two episodes really worked for me. I didn't clock the letters being written to the daughter in 10 I was expecting them to be to some sort of potential caretaker. I also really liked seeing violet display so much empathy towards others. The scene where she talked about how she had to hold back her tears the entire time at the house really worked for me. I can understand it not being for everyone, but im still enjoying it quite a lot.

Gonna join the breathing remedies conversation. As a kid growing up in Ukraine in the 90s I distinctly remember having bronchitis at some point. As a treatment, my mom would make mashed potatoes and while they were still hot wrap them in plastic and a towel and tie them to my chest. I guess the thought was that the warmth would loosen the mucus and help with breathing. My wife finds this story insane, but Vicks Vaporub wasn’t really available in post-Soviet Easter Europe.

Rachael

I honestly think if you removed Violet from the anime and focused on the people of this world, this show would actually be amazing.

MK

Any episode where we get to hear from Heather's deranged version of Santa is a great episode for me. That shit makes me laugh so hard.

Benjamin Francis

Perfect ending to that episode oh my god lmao I have a different takeaway from the hosts on episode 10 and 11 and I will post it in the reply to this comment because in keeping with the themes of the series, it's letter length to cover each facet of what I found interesting about each one, and I don't want to interrupt the comment flow.

Speaking of Jigsaw Serial Killer Yami Yugi, there is a 90s Toei anime adaptation of the pre-card game portion of Yugioh unofficially called Season Zero which has not been released in the states.

I think this may be my first time disagreeing with the pod! I absolutely loved episode 10, and to a lesser extent 11. As someone with a sick mom I was crying my eyes out during the montage of the daughter growing up. Even though you guys may not be very happy with the show I’m really grateful that you guys covered it or I would have probably dropped it before getting to these last few episodes. I’ll end this long comment with suggesting that you try revisiting “Frieren”, as I believe it hits a lot of the same emotional beats that Violet Evergarden does, but with better world building and more action! Ps. Matt should check out “Diamond no Ace”, if you’re still looking for a good baseball anime.

There's still time for an underwater episode. Fingers crossed the finale takes place in Gunga City.

Grant Prusi

Regarding episode 10: Did I see where it was going right away? Absolutely. Did it stop me from crying my eyes out during that last montage? Absolutely not. Narratively, it’s a step back from what happened before, but any piece of media that gets me to feel emotions that strongly is a rousing success in my book.

Deacon Raid

How much worse would this show be if it were emails instead of letters

Michael Pemulis

I've been reading Wolf Hall, and it's great, but between that and Violet Evergarden, I've had more than my fill of grown men taking advantage of fourteen year old girls. Maybe I'll have to rewatch Hard Candy, as a counterbalance.

Thanks to this podcast I finally found two anime that my mom was interested enough in to finish the series. They are Violet Evergarden and Chainsaw Man 😂

I enjoyed these 2 episodes. There was a through line that wasn't talked about. In the kid episode she was surprised that violet was warm, then in the next the soldier said she was cold. Though in context she was trying to be cold to the kid and warm to the soldier. Also the kid asked where the tea goes since she is a doll. Violet said eventually she would expel it. After a week when she's leaving she then brings up that she will eventually expel the tea from her body (makes sense in context) so is violet holding her pee for over a week? I did get emotional during the episodes. I could see the kid letters from a mile away, but the execution was great on it. It did feel a little hamilton when violet wrote 50 letters in a week. And the solder episode was just a great episode of her trying to atone/tell the soldiers story. I am hoping the next ep is her still in that area to maybe find info on the major, but this show really does its best to not follow through from the previous episode. (haven't seen it yet)

I think a cool idea for a Get Animed episode would be if you ranked all the anime you’ve watched for the podcast so far, à la Tiers of the Kingdom.

I don't understand how the Major can be viewed purely as a father figure after his death bed love confession. Dude's a creep, and this show isn't good enough to get past multiple groomers.

theIncompletionist

I think I may be a new confused demographic. It’s not that I’m not watching, but it gets convoluted about how much of which show I’ve watched. I got ahead on the content and behind on y’all. Still great, subscribed for life! Santa?

Luke Lamar

Holy crap, those episodes were amazing. I think Violet 'Soldier Maiden' Evergarden is about to 'write' a 'letter' to Gardarik High Command and put down this little revolution of theirs so she doesn't have to write anymore sad letters.
