Violet Evergarden Episode 1 Reaction
Comments (51)
if you girls want to experience a really emotional anime, that is equally as painful as it is beautiful and unforgettable i really suggest watching A Silent Voice, it’s an anime movie that is loved by many many people. Plenty of reaction channels have seen it and i would loveeeeee for you guys to watch it one day (or when you finish Frieren and it’s time for a new anime I’m still pushing the “Banana Fish is one of the best short anime ever” agenda so pls react to it🥺🥺🥺)
You should watch Your lie in April!
Please ranking of kings next
Chainsawman despite revolving around a main male character, has some amazingly well written female characters who colour most of the plot points with beautiful depth. Only one season out at the moment so you guys should wait a bit until more of it is adapted. Keep up the reactions, love it!
I'll plug the comedy/slice-of-life anime Bocchi the Rock and it's all-female main cast again. It wasn't life-changing or anything but I enjoyed it! Also thanks for starting Violet Evergarden, it's been on my to-watch list for years and this was the motivation I needed to pick it up finally.
One of the biggest joys I've had in discovering anime was discovering the slice of life genre 😅
Violet Evergarden it is a great anime, full of emotions, a drink of beauty that will captivate you.
insane how ranking of kings lost to this sob fest
violet Evergarden is just a better anime. Hits you n the emotions hard damn near every episode, the visuals are damn near top 5 of all anime's, the overall plot is beautifully encouraging and sad, character development was masterfully done, and it's replay ability is very high. .... Long story short, people favor this show a lot more than "ranking of Kings" for a good reason, not because of something "insane" as you mentioned.
Shows Blacks Sails (Women characters on the level of the Walking Dead) Jessica Jones (Full of good women characters) My Name (Korean action) The Americans (Outstanding female co-lead) His Dark Materials (The great Ruth Wilson)
My wammen characters
Wow, almost 60 comments already? I've seen the first two episodes so far and the aesthetic is stunning
Madoka Magica is another great anime with a female main character and a female cast, also very short
Frieren is coming soon, that is female centric (the titular character is female).
Anime Shows The Promise Neverland (Season1 only. And how can anybody not love Emma) Magica Madoka (It's not what you would think) Gunslinger Girl (Old but short) The Garden of Sinners Yona of the Dawn Black Lagoon ( Revy is so feminine...NOT😄❤️) Saga of Tanya the Evil (She's an atheist who believes she can outsmart God) Super Cub (A big change of pace and so calming)
A Place Further Than The Universe is missing. And Tanya the Evil and Ascendance of a Bookworm are in my opinion the only really good Isekai anime. I really would like to see them to react to them in the future. And both are female lead but I would say, that Tanya is more like 50/50, if you know what I mean :D
Anime movies Alita Battle Angel Encanto
definitely giving me Thorfinn vibes
Lycoris Recoil is a good and short anime and have 2 female main charakters
The music in Violet Evergarden is a different level. I love it so much.
Please watch Andor
I tried watching this once and wasn’t able to get into it. Maybe I’ll have to try it again. It’s very pretty, but the emotional stuff wasn’t working for me for whatever reason (at least at the time).
Felt the same way—somehow it felt too polished to be emotionally immersive. Maybe it’ll feel less clinical this time around. I already enjoyed this first episode more rewatching it with them than when I first watched on my own.
My favourite anime series with a female lead is Claymore, it came out more than 10 years ago but it's amazing and you 2 would love it, so I highly recommend it.
Halt and Catch Fire is a great show with female leads but I believe you've both seen it already. Chihayafuru is my favorite anime and it also has a tremendous female. GLOW is another good option. Princess Jellyfish a very fun, short, and weird anime option Top of the Lake is also a choice.
Halt and Catch Fire is phenomenal. Adore that cast.
Honestly a lot more excited than I was initially. I'm very glad you guys are pretty engaged with the show already. The only reason I did not vote for this show was because I was scared it was too short. Rewatching this first episode with you guys made me remember how I felt watching the show and now I'm happy this won the poll.
To clear that up: Netflix funded the production almost entirely, which is why it's a Netflix Original, even though the story is actually based on a novel. Whether now the subtitles of Crunchyroll or Netflix are better, I do not know. But funny story: There are two Eng Dubs of Vinland Saga season 2, namely from Netflix and Crunchyroll. I guess they couldn't agree and made two completely separate dubs.
Okay you guys, please make sure to not comment things like "I can't wait until you reach episode X!" or "episode X will definitely make you cry!" because I noticed that a lot of people say these things to people who are reacting to Violet Evergarden and it really ruins the reaction because the people will always be prepared for something big to happen when watching the episode.
And we ALL know which episode to not do this for! 😄 hopefully one day (maybe for LM) I’ll watch a VE reaction series that doesn’t have this problem
The anime is very emotional and has a lot of very good stories to tell (though one is quite controversial, so I'm curious to hear what you guys have to say about that, I personally always skip the episode during a rewatch). In general, the anime plays a lot with words. The work that Violet now wants to do is called Auto Memory Doll, where Doll is something artificial, without a heart. The capital Leiden is German for suffering, the country is called Leidenschaftlich, which on the other hand means passionate. In general, many places, cities and people are named after English, French, Spanish, Italian and German terms that describe emotions or expressions. What I would also like to mention is that the anime was animated by Kyoto Animation, with one of the most famous animation studios in Japan with very good working conditions and the principle of "It's not released until it's finished.", allowing you to press pause at any time and watch a painting. Unfortunately, Kyoto Animation was also victim of one of the deadliest massacres in Japan since the end of World War II. In 2019, a mentally ill man entered the building and doused a great many people with gasoline and set them on fire. A great many people died, even more are injured and traumatized, and many of them participated in Violet Evergarden. To honor their work, I think it is important that they are not forgotten.
Just wrote about that awful incident in the yt comments. I’ll never forget watching Teeaboo react to the series years ago and him looking up the staff list to look for the art director for him to realise that they died in the fire. It was incredibly somber moment that I won’t forget. Him congratulating their work to only realise he’ll never see their work again. It’s beyond words…
Lil bit of housekeeping for the series. There’s an OVA that should be watched between episodes 4 and 5. You can find it on Netflix under the name ‘Violet Evergarden: Special’. It’s pretty important to watch as events in episode 5 will make more sense with the OVA story before it. Also there are two movies that follow the events of the 13 episode series. First one being ‘Violet Evergarden - Eternity and the Auto Memory Doll’ which is 1hr 30mins. And then the last instalment (the finale) in the series is ‘Violet Evergarden: The Movie’ which is 2hr 20mins. Now I know there will be a debate on if it’s worth it to watch these but personally I adore both these films, especially the last film which serves as an amazing finale to the series. It’s up to you two of course in the end but I thought I’d at least let you both know. Also please spoiler tag in the comments for the films (and series) contents if you do wanna debate! 😂
I'm against the last movie. In general, the anime series is complete and the movies wanted to add something, while the last movie, in my opinion, nullifies the main reason why the anime is so good. They can watch it if they want, but it made the story for me less good. For the same reason no one is asking for a second season of Usagi Drop, because the source continued past a certain point, which was a perfect ending, and then the author tore everything down.
I really enjoyed your reactions, violet is a very good show
Ya'll just gonna forget my girl Korra like that? 💔
red haired guy is zeke VA btw
So excited for this! Just an FYI there’s an OVA you need to watch before episode 5. Also, Violet is Mikasa’s voice, and Hodgins is Zeke’s voice. Rewatching the show with you is going to emotionally wreck me when the final episode of AoT airs in a few weeks
I recommend Kaguya-sama, is one of the best RomComedies and I'm sure you're gonna love it!
They would love Kaguya-Sama!!!
yall are reacting to so much good stuff right now mannnn this is a golden era for my LM fandom
love this show so much. so beautifully animated too
86 has a co-female lead you two would absolutely LOVE!
Feels like its been ages since I first watched, but I remember it being visually and narratively beautiful, going to enjoy going through it again with these reactions.
I'd love to see some shows that are entirely different from the usual LM Reactions shows- maybe a comedy or romance, something out of left field.
Classroom of the elite or Overlord are definitely different from shows they usually watch
well, still haven't been able to watch ep 1 on my own so i'll have to wait a few days. but really exited ngl. this has been on my watchlist for a good while.
Join in!!
The protagonist that was promised!
You're gonna love this <3 so excited
PEAK DEPRESSION LETS GOOOOOOO
