The ” Violet Evergarden ” series, an anime adaptation of Kana Akatsuki’s novel, is about Violet Evergarden, a girl raised as a soldier during the war who never knew love. So, I drew a figure to learn various forms of love.

Then, one day, she receives a letter with an unknown address, and the story takes a big turn. Director Taichi Ishidate personally supervised and re-edited the film for this first broadcast.
Ishikawa and Namikawa’s comments are as follows.
I feel that the word ” Violet Evergarden,” carefully nurtured by the staff, will spread even further with the power of everyone who supports it.
This movie version is about Violet herself. I would be happy if you could see her growth and the path she walked.
” Violet Evergarden ” is full of “I love you. ” Please accept the thoughts put into the work.
If you’ve been watching the TV series, you’ll feel it more deeply, but it doesn’t matter if you’re new to this movie.
