The story takes place in Leidenschaftlich, an imaginary country with old-school western European influences, as evident in the romantic, Victorian flavour of the architecture and costumes. The return of Violet Evergarden and a message of overcoming trauma is not only an act of closure for the character but also a moving return for one of Japan’s most beloved animation studios.Ī sequel to the anime series, the film quickly recaps Violet Evergarden’s painful origin story.
Starting out as a “light novel”, Violet Evergarden was later adapted into an anime series a side story, Violet Evergarden: Eternity and the Auto Memories Doll, was also made into film, all by Kyoto Animation.
T he first film completed by Kyoto Animation after the arson attack in 2019, this carries a lot of emotional weight both on and off-screen.
