Has really really nice fight scenes, and the story is cool, sound tracks are cool, action sequences are awesome.
Each noble phantasm and their summoners have different powers and limitations. And everyone is one mistake away from death. The limitations along with their varying ideologies make the show feel so alive.
One of the best world building I’ve seen in anime. Studio orange who animated this kinda stood out with it’s choice to heavily rely on CGI. But it is largely agreed that it was a fantastic decision considering how well this anime turned out.
The character development was so good in this series. If the characters in this series get chipped or lose parts of their body, they literally lose parts of their memory. And if they replace it some other item instead of the piece they lost, their character is altered according to how large the modification was. And there are a lot of instances exactly where this happens.
There is only one human in the whole story and he has special powers. The gem stone people go around destroying sun spots, and it’s not clear why they’re doing this or why the sun spots are trying to steal the gems. My initial guess was that maybe they can combine different things and create a human, but I am too uninformed to say if that’s true. There is no much mystery, so much to discover, and it’s all so well laid out.
The sound tracks created for the show work wonderfully together as well.
It feels like I’ve only seen a small portion of what the story has in store and I’m really excited to see or read what’s up ahead.
I had high hopes for this anime, since I’d read the manga quite a bit and liked it a lot. It had all these cool terms and designations for different types of lords and beasts.
Something I really liked about the story was how the main character would build things which would end up making a huge difference for MC and his crew. I thought this was really nice to see since innovation was set on high pedestal and this is often true in real life as well.
But I did not like the harem like nature of the show, it seemed childish and lame.
The anime however did not live up to my expectations and while it was engaging, it was nothing to write home about.
Several cool details like the awakeners of god were simply mentioned and forgotten. The original manga contains much more details and world building.
In the anime I was able to notice important points like how the MC wasn’t truly a very good person, not the typical protagonist. He was manipulative and calculating.
He would beat up and kill fellows to make an example out of them. Favor women over men, so that he could eventually sleep with the women and eat the men. Give captured enemy soldier the freedom to leave, but later go and kill them once they’re far enough away from headquarters. In every step the main character is thinking about how something can benefit himself or his familiars. And it’s truly evident that the crew only matters to him because it becomes an extension of himself after a while.
He and only he mattered to the MC for much of the beginning of the show. And that really made the show quite unique.
This is a good adaptation, but perhaps not the best series to adapt into an anime. Without better script keeping it interesting, it becomes rather boring a show.
Decent animation. The story is rather peaceful at the start, and I was somehow reminded of Frieren. Later on, I found out that there really wasn’t all that much behind the anime in terms of story. It was simply, there’s this really strong water mage, because he’s the main character, and we get to watch him show off to others just how strong and superior he is.
A lot of animation looks really good though.
And thankfully not every scene ends with MC showing up and saving the day. Although all the important ones come to an end with the MC’s help.
I wasn’t sure I would like this, but decided to give it a shot anyway since the trailer received a lot of attention. The first episode was alright and I was somewhat impressed by how well the animation studio made use of the short run-time.
After the first episode though, it quality of the show fell off a short cliff. Nothing much really happened throughout the other episodes. Plenty of time was wasted going over meaningless details, like the arrangement of the rooms in cleaners headquarters, food and mc eating food – which added almost nothing to the story, backstories of side-characters who would be killed off very quickly and much more.
Every other shot was a little too long. Several episodes can be completely skipped and you would have missed nothing.
The show acts like it doesn’t have enough material to work to animate into a nice show, it’s literally the first season, they should have plenty of material to use.
The show kept me interested enough to watch the next episode. But every few minutes I would be reminded of how absolutely nothing important happened in the whole episode.
Overall: Disappointing
This is not a real movie, it’s simply several episodes stitched together into something that has a movie-like runtime. I was so disappointed by how little the series managed to cover.
The movie went into one sad backstory after the other. And ended up taking too much runtime. I wish I hadn’t went to the theater to watch this.
Since they released it as a movie, I’ll be reviewing it as if it were a movie.
Rush is so much better. But this was good too.
The movie felt like watching an actual F1 race, but I was only about as excited as an actual race could make me. I consider this a negative, as I couldn’t find much that validated the movie’s existence.
While the film was technically good, I personally did not like various creative decisions. For example, the choice to include actual F1 race car drivers and teams only to show them being defeated by two fictional characters felt disappointing. Furthermore, there wasn’t much in the way of character development or other strong aspects that would have elevated the movie. The main character is played by Brad Pitt, who is now 61 years old.
Violet Evergarden is one of the most remarkable anime series in recent memory, distinguished not only by its visual elegance but also by its thematic depth. At its core, the series is a meditation on grief, healing, and the struggle to communicate emotions that often feel inexpressible. Nearly every episode has the capacity to move the viewer to tears, yet it never feels manipulative; instead, the emotional weight arises naturally from the characters’ journeys and the quiet sincerity of their stories.
The direction and editing are finely tuned, allowing moments of silence and subtle gestures to carry as much power as sweeping climaxes. Each 25-minute episode is carefully constructed, offering a complete narrative that resonates long after it ends. What elevates the series further is how it situates Violet’s personal growth, her attempt to understand both her own feelings and those of others, within broader reflections on love, loss, and the human need for connection. The result is a work that is as emotionally fulfilling in individual episodes as it is in its cumulative impact.
