I like Violet Evergarden, but this movie was a big miss for me unfortunately
Finally found someone that I can agree with!
While animation, music, acting was all absolutely amazing the story feels like a forced happy ending imo.
I'm not saying she doesn't deserve a happy ending but that one feels too unrealistic.
Yes! I think the ending flies in the face of what came before
Don't quote me on that but I'm pretty sure it originally didn't have that ending planned and it was changed later at some point during writing. I'm trying to find anything on that but I'm failing to find it. I'm sure I've read some interview mentioning that years ago though.
E: Wait? I think I found something? https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2020-10-12/violet-evergarden-director-discusses-his-initial-hesitation-about-creating-sequel-film/.165111
E2: But the novel finished years before that so I guess it was a set stone already. The anime supposedly changed lots compared to novel so maybe in novel it was smoother compared to anime that didn't intend to include that ending.
I remember being quite disappointed and disliking it. Checking my stored rating and review note, I did put it under 8/10 though, which confuses me quite a bit now. Maybe it wasn't as bad as I remember.
Still, it certainly didn't reach the exceptional levels of the series and side/prequel movie (Eternity and the Auto Memory Doll).
