Violet Evergarden

Review by @noemilunastorta · 3071d · of Violet Evergarden

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFVKmVTAHpk&nohtml5=1

As you well know, my passion is Japanese animation and when I have time I take the opportunity to look at old and new souls.

This series, which for now we have few episodes is taken from a manga by Akiko Takase and at the moment we find it on Netflix.

As I saw the first episode I fell in love.

Not only for the animation and the beautiful settings but also for the  design of the characters, their characterization and also their  clothing.

A mixture of strange atmospheres, between the ancient, the steam punk and a pinch of twenties.

The story tells of Violet, raised as a weapon and accustomed to  thinking of herself as such, an instrument in the hands of others,  accustomed to military language and inhabited to receive orders and  commands.

Violet is not a girl like any other, and after the war she finds no  difficulty in entering a world that is not militarized, not just  physical, as she has lost both her arms and is equipped with hands of  iron but also psychological.

Violet  is not educated to free thought and good manners, she does not know the  subterfuges of feelings and does not even understand them, unable to  understand the nuances and accustomed to a clear and clear language to  avoid any misunderstanding, is like a fish out of water in a multi-faceted society.

He will begin to work on sorting mail, where he will soon find  employment as a "Writing Doll" clashing with the limits of his coldness.

Coldness tempered by the feelings that Violet felt for her general,  her mentor, the one who saved her for whom she nurtured a blind devotion  to which she had sworn obedience ..

In a last gasp he had flown in a lover and Violet traces his life  after the war to try to understand the deep meaning of these two simple  words.

Do I love you as you explain it to those who do not understand abstract concepts?

You can not explain it, you can hear it and Violet starts to feel and live ...

    What characterisation? Violet has little personality other than her autism.
