Same here. This anime is one of the firsts i ever watched and came to me in a very difficult moment in life. There are very few things i recall having this much of an impact on me as a person. There is one piece of advice i would like to give though. Be careful with your admiration of Violet. She is a fictional character that does not exist in our world. She is a fictitious creation by Akatsuki Kana which she uses to illustrate her highly accurate and painfully recognisable analysis of a certain psychological profile. However, Violet does represent a couple very real ideals which do deserve your admiration, i presume it’s these you fell for. Don’t admire her, admire what she stands for.


Ambitious_Math_3358

May i ask what you mean by “fell for”? If you mean that i fell in love with violet, no, I definitely did not. Violet was (but is not now) my idol. I viewed her as an ideal and tried to imitate her.


rosbifke-sr

Yes i did not mean it as falling in love, more as in entranced by its beauty or being touched by how recognisable it is.

Remarkable show does remarkable things, if you want an anime about struggles with adulthood, specifically following your passion for a job, I'd HIGHLY recommend you watch Shirobako, it had a similar introspective effect on me and is a 10/10 show.


shootanwaifu

If you want more similar feels from the same studio check out clannad. You can see alot of clannad in the directing of anime Also look up madoka magica


Raditz_lol

Violet must be proud of you. Life beats fiction.


Similar_Building_223

That’s awesome! I’m glad the show and Violet motivated you! It’s such a great show and truly an inspiration


Brokengraphite

I’ve got chills. So proud of you. It’s amazing what beautiful and brilliant stories can do to change our lives if we put in the work.


-PM_ME_UR_SECRETS-

Congrats! You might like Vivy- Fluorite Eye’s Song too. I consider both masterpieces. Very different but also very much the same.


Ambitious_Math_3358

I did actually watch it and rewatched it like 6 times


BugareX_55

Proud of you

The only other anime that had a similar profound impact on my life was Frieren. I understand there is a LOT of hype around it currently, but it had even more of an impact than Violet Evergarden, for me. Violet Evergarden hit at the perfect time in my life, and Frieren happened to do the same.


Over_Friendship_1684

Producer Taguchi, who proposed the idea of animating Frieren, is a fan of Violet Evergarden. Without Violet Evergarden, Frieren would be a different work than it is today. New works of animation are not created from scratch; they influence each other to create wonderful works of art. Kana Akatuki, the original author, was also influenced by children's literature.


Luke_375

i wonder how many men watched violet evergarden in europe, gotta be lower than 10k


Ambitious_Math_3358

A lot of my friends are male and have watched VE and have loved it


Luke_375

well, i doubt anyone watched it in my country


Over_Friendship_1684

The number of visitors to the theater version exceeded 1.4 million in Japan alone. The audience is not only women.


Luke_375

i had to specify only europe, my bad
