Hi! Thanks for watching (and your letters back! (Wasn’t expecting that😅)) I’m glad we got the time to take Violet Evergarden on before we start the crazy march through December. Wanted to point something out that I couldn’t fit in the video, part of the reason the show has such a good ability to make the viewer cry is due to ITS ability to communicate. Often we meet a character for only a single episode, but in 22 minutes we’re able to completely understand their pain and love, it’s a real feat of storytelling and human empathy. Next month is Hell Mouth so prepare for horror and hyper violence! Also I’m sorry I said “the concept of love” without making a jet set radio reference. It just didn’t fit lol

@glad9310 3 года назад

I've been waiting for this video for soooo long! BUT, I can't watch it right now... my mental health is in shambles and I need to stop crying for a few days. Dropped in to leave a like and I'll be back to watch it when I'll be better! Keep up the Amazing Work!

@viktorbryce951 3 года назад

Maybe the only other anime source that capsulates on human empathy to this level, maybe even more so was Shelter by Porter Robinson. In less than 10 minutes you are able to understand everything that is taking place from both a story & character driven aspect. It's been a few years since Shelter aired but it's level of being able to tell a story in such a short time holds the record in my book. Though in terms of Violet Evergarden it's a journey and one I think people get engrossed and captivated in much more. It's a walk we're willing to take alongside Violet as we see how she evolves and progresses in her emotional state, eventually coming to terms with it all. It's also a rare opportunity to see one's vulnerabilities whilst also reflecting upon your own. Do I or we as human's communicate what we really mean to say and if so is the other recipient/party truly understanding what I'm conveying. It's deep level stuff but you just some how can't get enough.

Violet Evergarden was a hard anime for me to watch, and not just because it had me ugly crying every other episode, but because of how much I found myself relating to Violet, although certainly not because I'm either a combat veteran or a double amputee. I'm on the autism spectrum (the high-functioning end, specifically what is known as Asperger's Syndrome), and many of Violet's idiosyncrasies are ones that I also exhibit: flat affect, difficulty expressing my own emotions and interpreting those of others, difficulty in non-verbal communication, and for a long while I had the extreme bluntness and lack of tact that Violet intially exhibited (the latter of which led to many tense, and sometimes explosive, exchanges). Even though it's a hard watch for me, still, after many viewings, it's one of my all-time favorites, because it's very hard for me to find protagonists that I can relate to. When people with autism are portrayed in media, they're either on the high-functioning savant end of the spectrum, on the end where they're essentially crippled by their autism, or a combination of savant and invalid. so to me it was incredible to find an example in my favorite medium of someone who would fall outside of those archetypes. Never mind that it's KyoAni at their finest, the voice acting in each language is superb, and the writing is fucking incredible. Truly a gem.

@SirBladewind 3 года назад

Honestly I wish my brother was more like you. More self aware of your own innate communication problems. His Asperger's has developed in such a way that his emotions are normal but he is incapable of understanding empathy properly. It's not that he doesn't have it. He just rarely understands how it's relevant. This compounded with my parents always taking it easy on him has made him quick to threaten or treat others badly because it often gets him what he wants. The thing is, he *geniunely* doesn't understand why it's wrong. He's pushed people so far away with his behaviors and I feel badly for him, but I don't know how I could communicate it properly because it never seems to stick. Your self awareness is a great step in coping with your disorder. I'm very happy you understand what you're dealing with, even if it isn't easy.

Dear Mike and the Bonsai Pop Team, It is with the upmost sincerity when I say that this is the best content I have ever seen from any youtube channel. Your strengths in critically analyzing the themes and motifs within various animes/mangas are unmatched by anybody else I have seen. The reflections and connections that you make between (insert anime of the week here) and the real world are beyond entertaining; they're legitimately thought provoking. I cannot describe how much I have learned about the world, Japanese history and culture, and ourselves as human beings, just by watching your videos. To put it simply, y'all are phenomenal and I wish nothing but the best for this channel and the beautiful people involved with it. Love, Me (and anybody else who feels the same)

When this show came out it had only been a couple months since my wife had died. Each episode my heart feel so heavy and crushed by the end.

Violet Evergarden goes very Deep in to your Soul and shakes it up if you let it.......the truth is, we forget and fail the simple stuff like stuff we say Communication nothing can be so easily missunderstood then it ......and then you get reminded on how easy and powerfull some simple words can be to another person and yet we hesitate to tell them wha we feel..... i hope that everyone can open up someday for once and and just tell what he/she feels without fear. Dont forget that there is allways someone who loves you even if this Person cant say it but maybe you are the first who breaks this silence so dont let words be unspoken.

Bonsai Pop has been one of the most important things to happen to me. I don't have a social life, I'm emotionally inarticulate, and I deal with some mental issues. I used to love anime but i didn't have many options as a teenager. Got internet pretty late and basic ghetto ass cable so I only got to see what was on a few channels. Toonami didnt exist on my t.v. This channel has reminded me of animes I used to love and ones I've always wanted to see. Aswell as a whole new world of anime series and films I wouldve never heard of or seen before. It has helped change my life and helped me better understand myself and others. Thank you Mike for everything you contribute

@@andreay9935 Wow, really nice catch with that, I didn't notice that poetic connection: "Violet prayer to the Ocean was to beloved ones to meet again today, tomorrow and forever. Then Gilbert and her where in the Ocean meeting up again to be together :')" I watched the "Violet Evergarden: The Movie" on 26th December 2021 (I watched everything else earlier and even re-watched the series before watching the final movie) and I literally couldn't think about other things for at least a week (as you can see me here - I am still not fully "over it"). It's a weird feeling, and I have this feeling very rarely - only after experiencing true masterpieces. I compare this feeling to something Ancient Greeks named "katharsis" - soul cleansing. During that period (especially first week) it was somehow like mourning, thinking about watching other series/movies, even playing games, felt like betrayal to Violet Evergarden story. I had to pay tribute to this masterpiece by contemplating only it for some time in my head. Fortunately, I have my family next to me (I watched Violet Evergarden with my mom), so it's much easier to go back to "normal life" (I can't imagine if I were living alone). By the way, I was searching and watching many videos about Violet Evergarden (reactions, reviews, OST) after finishing the movie and I have noticed some comments from you under those videos :) Your comments were always helpful for clarifying the plot, nuances and sharing the emotions. Also, I noted some comments from under those videos. I will copy them for you in my next comment, so I hope you can see there are more people who felt like us about this story :)

I have to say that Violet Evergarden is one of the most beautiful, if not the most beautiful anime I have ever seen. The source material, the visual, and the song/sound design are really well crafted. Each episode was like an entire movie condensed into 24 minutes with the same if not more emotional impact, while still manage to carry on the story of Voilet growing as a person and understand her emotion. It is one of those anime that everyone should at least see it once.

Violet Evergarden always struck me as a hard-faced perspective on not only a soldier's reintegration into civilian life, where in a soldier's life all communication is short and explicit with no implications, it also strikes as a subtle perspective on autism. The naivete of human communication, the misunderstanding of social norms, all of it is a beat-by-beat of how ASD people interact with others.

I grew up with a sibling who had what we later realized was high functioning psychosis. They didn't have their first genuine episode until I was a teenager, but looking back the signs that something was off were already there. I'm pretty sure having them around was one of the reasons I ended up developing high functioning social anxiety. I literally wouldn't talk to people. I'm not like that any more, but I still can't talk to them. Your description of the show resonates with me and makes me want to see it. I've been following your channel for a while now (apparently I'm one of the few who still gets notifications). The way you talk about these shows has such a level of intimacy that you often don't see from other channels on youtube, aside from maybe Super Eyepatch Wolf. And as a fellow dubs fan i admire your guts to admit that to the anime crowd. Please keep doing what you do. It's more important than you know. And you may have gotten yourself a new patron.

I'm glad you made a video about this series. You're right about the show asking a lot of some people, as most of my friends who tried to watch it have stopped 1-2 episodes in. It makes me sad that so many people don't watch more of this show, because it's a story about communication, it's one among a small number of rarely discussed post-war setting stories, and for someone who is autistic like myself, who always struggles with telling what kind of emotion people are trying to express, it has a special meaning to me.

@jasrai3934 3 года назад

For me, the most beautiful thing about Evergarden was the lesson of denial and acceptance. Every character we met had some form of denial going on in their life. For Violet, she denied the fact that Major was never coming back and tried to hide her guilt of her past after she realized the weight of her actions. But, the beautiful thing about Violet is when she comes to terms with it. She learns to accept her past, that she was born and raised as a weapon, that she killed countless of people who had families of their own, and that she couldn't save the person she loved. Even if it took a while, she comes to her own terms and accepts it. I think that's one of the hardest things in life, when you stop fighting negative feelings and you accept them and you're able to move on. I love that they portrayed this idea time and time again. The little girl who had to accept her mother was never going to be there for when she grows up, to the father who has to accept his daughter's death and uses her memory to fuel his work, to Leon and his struggles with having to accept his parents never coming back and finally moving on with his life that had come to a standstill. All these characters had dealt with heartbreak, but they were able to move on and it made them all better people in a way. I think it's just so beautiful and it's a lesson I find so endearing.

Your essay vids and the wonderful wholesome tune at the start makes it an amazing listen in my times of difficulty in 2018 and still helps me well to this year. Without y'all, I would not be here composing, drawing and writing to this day after I lost alot in 2018. Thanks Bonsai Pop, I hope to support you more one day!

I won't lie, the letter at the end kinda made me emotional in a way I never expected an anime youtube video ever would.

Mike your letter brought a tear to my eye. I'm grateful to have you making such great content. Thank you.

I just stumbled upon your channel and can I say it's the best thing that's happened to me this year. Sometimes I have a hard time catching some of the meaning behind the anime, so finding your "therapeutic" reviews is a blessing because I can get to have a different perspective on them.

Mike you continue to be one of the only creators who can make me cry

My Dearest Marianne, The Thanksgiving War approaches, and we have begun are preparations. The General believes that this year is going to be harder with the sickness that has spread through the battlefield. A sickness with no cure in sight. But fear not my dearest Marianne, for in 7 weeks time we shall take back what was ours... The city of Stuffington will be liberated from the Cranberry forces. Though we soldiers of the Gravy Train may have to fight these battles at least 6 ft apart wearing a mask, we have confidence that our allies of the Mashed Potatoes Brigaide will pull through and cover the field with a solid bombardment before we arrive. Forever yours, Private Jebediah Drumstick

Violet evergarden is the only anime I've ever thought about in passing as a live-action show for some reason I found myself thinking about the story and about remembering what it was from I could only imagine these characters that portrayed so much emotion so vividly and so humanly as live actors on a stage I had to stop myself and question what it was I was thinking of before I could remember that it was an anime and I am not the kind of person to believe that the medium of animation has limitations I don't believe that but something about how emotional the story was just struck me on a subconscious level as it being real people in a way that no other anime ever had

Great video! Definitely gonna have to check this one out. Also, props on using that FFX-2 song.

@EDX2308 3 года назад

I first watched it not knowing what I was getting myself into. There's too much to talk about. The story, the art, the message and last but not least Violet Evergarden will bring you to tears. There is so much meaning and thought throughout the story that you really feel for Violet. The main theme is really about communication. I highly suggest watching it.

Hello Bonsai pop crew, Thank you for yet another fantastic video. Thank you once again for speaking your mind and providing another slice of great video content in such a dark and scary period we are currently living in. Either from the videos that shine a light of anime worth watching or from the hilarious podcasts that never fail to make me laugh, a heartfelt thank you for providing a soothing balm and food for the soul like no other. I honestly cannot express how much you two do for a legion of strangers all touched by your amazing work. This is my letter. Jay

@andredarkstorm5751 3 года назад

I think this is my favorite vid of them all, the focal point of communication is vital in any context and is something we must develop every day so we can prevent, more conflicts in the future. Ps: thanks for the beautiful message Mike I really appreciate the thought.

Thank you for going in depth on this show. Violet Evergarden is one of My Top 5 Anime Legends afterall.

Episode 7 and 10 were the best for me. the story of the playwright and the mother and daugther is just heartbreaking.

Oh lord, I feel the tears coming back. Great video and music choices. Also: Dear Mike and BonsaiPop crew, Thank you for continuing to make these wonderful videos even if I don't get to watch them right away due to life. I promise to return to your patreon once ...things get a little more settled down. Your random viewer- Noah

@Ale-bb2xw 3 года назад

No Mike, thank YOU. The way you communicated the themes of this anime went beyond words for me. Violet Evergarden and A silent voice are works of art that deal closely with the same theme. And it drives me to tears how I and others forget how Important an “are you doing ok?” Means to other people. Thanks for being here. And for this video

1. I'm so glad you did this; I have notifications & alerts on, but was only shown this because I was searching V.E. I loved your take on Afro Samurai too. 2. *Checking out Bonzai PodCast
