She states her name and remarks, “This is the prison that I am living in,” juxtaposed against black gates closing behind Violet as she enters the grounds. But the next shot quickly establishes dissonance between that beauty and the life experienced within, as a young lady with messy auburn hair coughs asthmatically into a gloomy room only dimly lit through a window overlooking the glorious view. It's worth watching at least once, I'll leave you to make your own astute observations.As the train on which she rides approaches its destination, Violet Evergarden sees a palatial school atop a lush hill, surrounded by a picturesque village. But I feel like they developed this film just enough for the audience to like it, but not love it. Does this movie suck? No, I would say it was pretty decent overall. You could literally feel like they we're grasping for straws on the emotions of the audience, which sadly wasn't very effective. The last series did SO GOOD so much so that these stories all brought something to the table that was unique and heartbreaking/heartwarming, it left me a quivering mess afterwards. What truly touched me was more about the sister's bonds themselves, but even that fell short for a while. The problem was it just pulled on my heartstrings just enough for me tear up, But not enough for me to truly care about these new characters.
It wasn't that it didn't have a good premise, there was tons of promise to it. I found myself spellbound by the artistry, (soundtrack is as amazing as ever) and the character growth was nothing short of satisfying.
Kyoto animation usually never fails to deliver on the artistic side of this series. I honestly don't think this movie is bad per se, It was still an enjoyable experience, but it definitely had a lacking element that made me fall in love with the original series.
