Violet Evergarden The Movie Promotional (Kyoto Animation)

This article contains spoilers.

INTRODUCTION/PLOT

With the end of The Great War came a technological boom in the city of Leidenschaftlich.

As a radio tower continues to be built, telephones will soon become more relevant, leading to a decline in demand for transcription services. However, Violet Evergarden continues to be known for her constant success with writing letters.

The movie follows Violet as she continues to comprehend what love means. While still writing for clients, she hopes that the man who once told her, “I love you,” is still alive despite the years that had passed.

We all have our definitions of love based on our varied experiences of it. Love can be geared towards a family member, friend, or love interest. Despite the differences, we can all agree that all types of love desire what is good for the beloved.

But even with the best intentions, our efforts can fall short. We sometimes hurt others even without meaning to. This, for me, is the point of the movie.
