If any of you have watched Violet Evergarden, you would know of it's complete lack of predictability and sense of dullness. It is, by far, the most awe-inspiring anime series I have ever watched or read - and I read and watch a lot.
So what I want to blog about is the Violet Evergarden OVA (Episode 14). Where to begin. For starters, it did not once disappoint me storyline wise. It was beautiful. Captivating as well as heart striking. Honestly, I've never in my life heard of love the way I did in this anime. The writers are so real when they create these characters that emboy such deep and complex thoughts and feelings as if they really existed. The feelings of love portrayed are authentic and heart wrenching. It is by no means superficial.
If you had to strip this anime of all it's beautiful animations and beauifully composed soundtracks, what you'd be left with is a well written, well thought out script full of vigour and boldness that need not depend on fancy animations. I truly emphathize with this anime and several of the character's feelings. It is in more ways then one relevent and relatable that can be applied in a modern context.
