There will never be another Violet Evergarden! What Violet has left us with is simply an era-defining tale of finding what the actual meaning of LOVE is. The series is a rollercoaster of emotions with each episode building one upon another, and all of it leading to a masterclass finale.
Although Violet Evergarden’s main focus has never primarily been the romantic aspect of love, it presents us with a rich narrative that explores the multifaceted meaning of love, beautifully orchestrated through several dialogues and character-defining moments throughout the series.
Among these, there was one profound dialogue at the end of season 1 that perfectly encapsulates the essence and goal of the entire anime, which, to say the least, has left a lasting impression on every one of us.
What Violet Evergarden is actually about?
Violet’s journey in Violet Evergarden has been nothing short of a miracle. Since the time she lost Major Gilbert after that one devastating war; she constantly tried to find him and waited for him for years. Many seasons have passed, and many things have changed, but not even for a single day did she forget about the one person who truly cared about her.
With the inevitable passing of time, she also grew up becoming a beautiful woman. But the days, she shared in her early life under Major Gilbert’s care deeply affected her from within that she simply couldn’t forget. Being initially used only as a weapon for war, she never received true human care, but Gilbert changed her way of life.
At the end of Season 1, Violet’s heartfelt letter to Gilbert beautifully exemplifies the transformative power of true love. Through her words, we see the profound impact of Gilbert’s presence in her life, and her unwavering devotion to her major is a testament to the enduring nature of love.
Violet Evergarden is not a series that can be easily come across, it’s a lifetime of an experience. It teaches the viewers that it’s not always about materialistic love; sometimes it’s about the love that comes from within you, the love that you do not even know the meaning of, the love that cannot be expressed in mere words.
Each episode of Violet Evergarden presents an individual masterpiece
This scene is also a masterclass approach for the anime itself, as it showcases all the places and emotions Violet visited throughout her journey, encountering several stories of others and learning from their life experiences, all to help her gain a better understanding of the phrase “I love you”. So, each individual episode perfectly culminates in the above-mentioned dialogue.
At the end of Violet Evergarden, when viewers are literally left with teary eyes, Violet concludes her letter to Gilbert by acknowledging that she finally understands what “I love you” means.
And with that, Violet’s journey comes to a satisfying end, leaving everyone cheering for her future endeavors. Studio Kyoto Animation and the whole team behind the production of Violet Evergarden cemented its position as a true masterpiece, something that will forever remain in the precious corner of our hearts.
