Everyone who loves anime knows that "Violet Evergarden" will premiere at 8 o'clock this evening.

Before the official premiere, many anime fans have already begun to speculate about this anime. Listening to this name, it seems to be a very warm and romantic work? Will it be a love story? His Royal Highness Greenward seems to have a high evaluation of this anime...

Previously, the ratings of "Magic Girl Sakura" dropped a lot compared to before, mainly because the anime that Hill played before was too adult. At the beginning, "Magic Girl Sakura" was watched by everyone, and everyone was infected by the gentleness and warmth inside, but over time, the length of "Magic Girl Sakura" was compared to the previous anime. It has grown a lot, and it is more suitable for younger children than the previous ones. In addition, it has some "routines". Under such circumstances, it is normal for the ratings to decline.

Joan Baker once raised a question about this, and Hill replied: "Every movie/anime has a corresponding audience. It is impossible to be'loved by everyone'. I have some situations like "Magic Girl Sakura". It’s unexpected, but it’s normal to think about it, but I can tell you that the DVD of this anime must sell well."

The previous anime has not caused much waves among children. The picture of "Natsume's Book of Friends" is too monotonous for children. There are no cool monsters and handsome clothes. At best, Natsume is screaming and screaming. It's over with a punch; "Magic Girl Madoka Magica" is very attractive to children at first, until, until... you know.

Compared with this, "Magic Girl Sakura" is different, beautiful clothes! magic! There are so many handsome looks! ——So during the time it was playing, children who had children at home and magic phones were taken over by children.

In addition, the peripherals of "Magic Girl Sakura" are over-selling.

Despite this, in fact, the number of adults watching this work is much less than before. Some people even wrote to complain about why this anime is still being played, and whether it can play some "fighting" and "mature" anime. He couldn't stand it--yes, most of the people who wrote and complained were men.

This even Theodore became anxious. He regarded himself as a person from the Demon World, so he couldn't tolerate others to say anything bad.

Hill also understands their worries, but he also knows that sooner or later he will take pictures of the children and bring them to the camp here. In addition, he had planned to provide a one-stop service for Magical Girl, so he still underwent some pressure to play "Magic Girl Sakura" in three months.

In fact, Hill understands that the best way to solve this problem is to add more magic phone programs, which are available for all ages. But this is not easy. It is easy to move works, but it is not easy to develop talents from scratch. However, it has to be done. Hill thought.

I really want to know how to do it. One is engaged in animation, the other is in movies, and the other is in domestic affairs... Oh, it feels like Monroe has been drained as a result. cough. just kidding.

Shortly after the end of "Magic Girl Sakura", the DVD was released. As expected, the sales volume was no less than that of the previous works. Then there were some submissions about this work. Surrounded by friendship and love, everyone inside is extremely kind and gentle.

So after watching these film reviews, other people were itching to go to the show, and then they bought DVDs.

In fact, this kind of work should have been watched by one person, calmly and slowly, to experience the feeling in it.

Hill actually likes this kind of works full of sunshine and warmth.

In his opinion, what to convey to the audience and how to convey it is ultimately the author's choice, just like many of a very sensitive character, "The Mother of God." In fact, there is nothing wrong with the feature of "Virgin Mary". The problem is that many authors will associate it with stupidity-for example, while owning the Virgin, they also involve the people around them, or the Virgin who can't distinguish the good and evil of others without a brain... Stupidity should be condemned, not the Virgin. Hill has always felt that if you want to promote truth, goodness and beauty, you should promote it. You choose how to deliver it, and you choose what you deliver.

Soon after the end of "Magic Girl Sakura", some people also questioned the upcoming "Violet Evergarden".

Is this an anime that is too casual and gentle? I don't like things that are too warm...

But in general it is a new anime, so everyone is still willing to take the time to watch the premiere.

At half past seven in the evening, Winter City.

Since the beginning of late autumn, there have been fewer and fewer people walking around the winter city at dusk, because the temperature is really too low. The cold wind was bleak and did not blow away the dark snow clouds covering the winter city. This low temperature makes the pubs and restaurants on the roadside bad business-under normal circumstances.

But today those places are full.

Because everyone is here to watch anime, no matter what individual people think of "Magic Girl Sakura", the overall evaluation is still very high. Hill had personally promoted "Violet Evergarden" in the live broadcast, so everyone kept in front of the magic phone with the idea of ​​"watching the episode".

Many people cannot afford magic phones, but of course they can pay the price of a glass of wine. Merchants use the psychological investment of customers to purchase a magic phone, and they will be able to earn back the capital of the magic phone before long.

Joan Baker once mentioned to Hill that this would cause some potential customers of magic phones to disappear, and Hill responded: "Do you think I am a greedy person? The behavior of these merchants is also in my expectation. The influence of Magic Phone and my show has further expanded."

Joan Baker nodded, "This way..."

"Actually, mine was the first tavern to attract customers with magic phones." Hill raised the corner of his lips and told the truth.

At present, he actually has some properties in major cities, but after he bought it, he didn't make any changes to keep them as they were. So few people know that the owners behind these stores have changed. Hill has done things like this quietly guiding the trend.

Joan Baker couldn't help but respect Hill before him.

"Well, I still feel a little pain, or you can send me Josh Kenny's house. You don't use it much anyway." Hill leaned over and said.

Joan Baker:...

He silently took back his awe.

Before the broadcast of "Violet Evergarden", Theodore asked Hill worriedly, would this anime like this be liked by adult men? He feels that if two consecutive animes are not pleasing in the same group, it will have an impact on the subsequent anime.

Theodore makes sense.

Hill nodded, "Adults are absolutely fine, the heroine will undress in public in the first episode."

Theodore: "Puff." What the **** is this.

All kinds of people have all kinds of ideas. Time waits for no one. Eight o'clock will soon arrive. The first episode of "Violet Evergarden" is broadcast in two countries at the same time.

02.

The lively streets, the warm lights, the light shining on the pale blond hair, the light shining in the jewel-like eyes, and the blurred background.

The opening scene shocked the audience.

"This, this picture..."

"How can it be exquisite like a work of art?!"

"Ah! This light!"

Oh yes, the exquisite pictures of "Violet Evergarden" are also excellent works in so many animes on the earth, not to mention the strangers who haven't watched many animes.

The style of painting is completely different from the previous ones.

The girl in military uniform stopped in front of a booth, and the man in front also stopped: "What's the matter?"

"There are Shao Zuo's eyes, the same color as Shao Zuo's eyes.

What should I call this feeling that emerged when I saw this? "

The girl's voice is very pleasant, she is as beautiful as a doll, her eyelashes are covered with azure blue pupils, and there is a radiance like the light from the bottom of the sea, beautiful and quiet.

Shao Zuo's emerald eyes, and the emeralds on the stall melted into an intoxicating luster.

This is equivalent to a wedge.

After this exquisite and beautiful transition, the girl opened her eyes in the hospital.

Then comes the interspersed background introduction.

The heroine is named Violet Evegarden, a mixture of demons and humans. She is a simple weapon with a beautiful human appearance but no human heart. The war ended when she was wounded and hospitalized, and her superior-that is, the Gilbert Major who appeared at the beginning, entrusted her to Hawkinson. For some reason, Shao Zuo never appeared.

She lost her hands in the war, and now she has arms made of Yadman silver made by black dwarf craftsmanship. She only knows how to obey a person's orders. She doesn't seem to have human emotions, and her appearance is so beautiful... This setting is very novel for people in another world. Under such circumstances, she was very moving by the production shown by Gilbert Shozo.

"Wow-this looks like a cool anime!" Someone speculated.

If it looks like this on the surface, the beautiful girl is actually a weapon of war or something, that sounds so cool~

However, soon everyone lost their excitement.

The meaning of those details implied the death of Shao Zuo, those sad eyes, the delicate feelings of the characters...Wonderful, of course wonderful, but a sense of melancholy was pressed into the hearts of the audience.

Violet's memories of Shaozu were interspersed in the middle, and the two of them were covered in blood in the dark corridor at the end. This is already a hint.

Hodgson’s squadron asked Violet to choose one of the three dolls as a gift for discharge. Violet chose a dog. Lieutenant Hawkinson asked her why, and she replied: "Shaozu’s brother once said that I belonged to Gilbert. Dog." She had a very natural expression when she said this, as if she was saying something that should be right. Reminiscent of her gentle face when she rubbed the dog doll with her face just now, the sense of melancholy deepened.

After arriving at the home of the family who planned to adopt Violet, there was the following dialogue.

Madam: "Just think of us as your biological parents."

Violet: "I didn't have parents either, so I don't need someone to replace it."

Madam: "Don't say that, we also had children who died in the war."

Violet: "I can't replace a dead child."

This seems a bit too cold, but after considering Violet's setting, she felt that she said it for granted.

There was light moving in the old woman's eyes, and her eyes were sadness mixed with consternation.

In front of the magic phone, many people had tears in their eyes.

At this time the war has been over for more than a year, and many people have really died in the war. Wives have lost their husbands, children have lost their fathers, parents have lost their sons... But people always move forward and life always continues. As long as you are not dead, you have to live, you have to live, or Fall, or live well. Many of them choose to divert their attention and dedicate their feelings to others.

Putting this line here is really too heartbroken and too sad.

This is true, but who wants to admit it.

This girl really has no "heart".

Then, with a little stupidity, Hawkingson Zhongzuo said as if receding lines: "Violet, you can live happily here. This is Gilbert's wish."

This sentence makes the melancholy deeper.

Magnolia City. Devil Magazine.

Theodore lay on the table half-life watching the anime, what is this, your Royal Highness Greenward, you lied to me, I thought it was an anime that you said to undress in public, why is it so uncomfortable...

Later, Violet broke out his feelings and asked Zhong Zuo why Shao Zuo left him here. The feelings that the audience had been suppressed in the first half of the episode also broke out. Some kind and sensitive people have already shed tears with them.

Theodore took a sigh of relief. He experienced too many traumas in his youth, so he has a relatively strong ability to accept this aspect. "It finally broke out. That's good."

In the second half of the first episode, it became more relaxed, because Violet questioned whether she was abandoned because her hands were injured and useless. Zhong Zuo took her to the postal company that she owned and made her a member of the company. Tell her you can still work, you are useful.

"There is a department here to help people write letters. After all, many people still don't know how to write." Zhong Zuo said.

"I didn't know how to write before, it was Shao Zuo who taught me." Violet said. She looks very cute like this.

It really feels like three sentences without leaving Shao Zuo. ...... But when thinking of the death of Shao Zuo implied in the play, this makes the audience smile, and at the same time there is a shadow in their hearts.

This is really healing and depressive.

Then the lieutenant entrusted Violet to the postman Benedicte and asked him to take her with him. After Zhong Zuo left, Benedicte gave a brief introduction to the work, and handed the uniform to Violet, "Uniform, change it."

"Okay." Violet said in a tone of following orders, and then directly held the hem of the dress with her hand and undressed in public...

Benedicte, the postman in the play, and the audience outside the play were shocked at the same time.

Theodore popped out directly.

This, is this what His Highness Greenward said...

This...cough cough...well, this is indeed in line with Violet's character.

Many viewers sprayed water, and some attentive viewers found that Violet's exposed body had large and small scars. This picture is really very detailed.

After this rather relaxing plot, the postman Benedicte saw Violet wearing the gloves and asked her to take off the gloves. After she took off the gloves with her teeth on the edge of the gloves, she revealed her metal hand.

He should be surprised now. Many viewers think so. He just questioned her as a kid, implying that she couldn't finish the job.

What the audience did not expect was that the postman Benedict just opened his eyes slightly. The animation is very delicate. His expression has not changed much, but his voice has been lightened a little - just a little bit. Will it be difficult to pick up the mail?"

"No big problem," Violet replied.

Then the postman Benedict began to explain her work. He acted as if nothing had happened.

Winter City. Tavern.

"Why is this person so cold?" an aristocratic lady complained.

A man over there said with emotion: "Maybe I have seen more."

"Ah..." The noble lady was startled.

"After all, the war has just ended. If you have seen too much sorrow, you won’t have much feeling for the sorrow in front of you," the man’s voice was a little low, "but seeing such a small girl suffering from such inner trauma, I still feel a little uncomfortable... this postman should also have his own story."

"Then...Does that postman think so..." The noble lady's voice was a little sad.

There are too many things behind every dialogue, every look in the eyes, it is worth thinking about, reminiscing and crying.

"There are a lot of letters, so don't worry too much." It's not an illusion. Benedict's voice is really softer. Although it is not "gentle", this feeling is tempting. "The lounge is also on the second floor. "

Violet made a military salute, "Understood."

Benedict closed his eyes and walked directly past her. "See you later."

If you just look at his actions, you will subconsciously feel that he has no curiosity or sympathy at all, did not ask why your hands are like this, did not directly say that you should rest more, and did not care about the military salute... But in the tavern The noble lady is full of sadness now, and that simply closing her eyes and leaving has already explained everything.

This anime is really melancholy.

Unlike "Magic Girl Madoka Magica" and the tearing pain and despair afterwards, "Violet Evergarden" gives people the feeling of melancholy, and the melancholy that is slowly poured into my heart is water-like melancholy. The former makes you unable to breathe, and the latter makes you slow and sad.

Then she continued to work without rest-she treated this as a mission for the army, and was finally stopped by the founding assistant, he sent her home, and the two had a conversation under the street light.

"How did Gilbert order you in the end?"

"Let me run away and live freely. And..."

"You have been in the army since you were a child, and you spend every day performing tasks. You have a lot to learn from now on. Maybe you don’t learn, or you don’t know, it will be easy to live. You are burning because of what you have done. , You don’t know you are burning yet."

She looked at her body and said, "It's not burning." She looked a little cute like this.

"It's still burning." Zhong Zuo's voice became heavy. "You will understand what I'm saying one day, and then you will find that you are already burnt and scarred."

These heavy words also weighed on the audience's appreciation.

Night, street lights, stars, flames.

The night passed like this.

The next morning, when Violet was cleaning in the company, a customer came in and said that she hoped to write a letter on her behalf.

"My childhood sweetheart in the country, I heard that someone proposed to her family, so I hope I can tell her."

The automatic writing puppet began to write letters for him, and the next step was the content of the letter. The narration at the beginning was the voice of the customer:

"The first person to be so gentle to me is you."

Gilbert Shao Zuo put her in tattered young clothes in his arms.

Then it became the voice of Violet and the customer overlapping.

"You were everything in my world."

In the army, the young girl followed Gilbert firmly in military uniform, watching his back with blue eyes.

In the end it became Violet's single voice.

"I can do everything for you."

During the artillery fire and the war, with Shao Zuo's "charge" command, she rushed towards the enemy with a giant battle axe.

"I want to know your mind, I want to know your heart."

In the terrible fight in the war, her eyes were always clear.

"Even if two places are separated now, I still love you."

The envelope is painted, and the letter is finished.

loving You.

At the end of this episode, Violet tells Zhongzuo that she wants to be an automatic writer who writes letters on behalf of others, and Zhongzuo asks her why she has to do this job.

Violet replied:

"I want to know what love means?

Shao Zuo said this to me after the last order.

It's the first time that Shao Zuo said this. I still can't understand what kind of state it is. "

Many memories in that dark corridor. There is an end here-

"I absolutely, I will never let Shao Zuo die!" Violet's arm was broken, her eyes were filled with tears, her voice increased uncontrollably, and she went up to bite Shao Zuo's clothes with her teeth and tried to take him. go.

"Enough! Violet, you want to live, live freely."

Shao Zuo's emotions were also out of control at this time, and then he choked with tears and said:

"I really...love you."

Those sad, those confused, those gloomy. Here, there is a result.

He loves her.

The first episode is over here.

Snow fell in the city of Winter, and the wind stopped when it snowed, which made the snowflakes fall down like mist.

The tavern was quiet.

The noble lady pressed her hand to her heart.

What kind of feeling is this? There is melancholy and sadness, but in the end, there is a kind of sour warmth in my heart.

Strange, everyone thinks this is a wonderful animation, but most people don't particularly want to see the next episode now. One episode a day, so it’s good to watch it at that time. This feeling of security has never happened before.

But what is certain is that after today, Violet's name has been deeply reflected in their hearts.

Of course, there is also her young master.
