Not just that. But the soldier who died was a byproduct of the lingering wills of the war. Violet was a Hero, yet even she could not do enough to save even the likes of him, whose life was taken even during peacetime. So in a sense, Violet also feels guilty for not doing enough during the war. This is why despite not knowing him, she cried, and said sorry to the soldiers' relatives. For not doing enough, for not being able to save him.
Damn true that. It's one of the few pieces of music I can think of that never crescendo's. Every time you think it's about to peak, it just keeps getting more intense. Has my hairs on end from start to finish... Best piece in a whole show that was a masterpiece.
When the song goes with Maria’s desperate crying for Aiden, I think it would be the saddest part of that episode for nothing can be done to get him back...
What made me cry the most in that episode was when Violet turned to leave and they all said "Thank you... Thank you for bringing him home." Gosh, just writing that makes me tear up.
"Do I have any rights after I killed so many people as a tool? They had their families and I took them away from them. Everything I did so far has sparked a flame what is now burning me up" - Violet Evergarden -
Sad take: 2:07 What makes Violet's crying in ep 11 worse is not only the situations her clients face, but she is starting to realize the true meaning of last words Major Gilbert left her with. She is witnessing first hand the meaning and importance of "I love you" from all of her clients. She learns the heavy weight those words bear, and it reaches a climax in the final scene of episode 11.
“You have to live free... and from the bottom of my heart, I love you” - These were the last words to my Violet, and she didn’t even know what the meaning of those words meant. God oh God he has to come back, now more than ever bc she is finally understanding that phrase “I love you” she deserves all that happiness with Major Gilbert after everything they’ve been through. 🤧 Hands down for one of the BEST animes... and don’t you tell me otherwise bc then you’re cold.
Although I'm 6 months late Gilbert does appear in the Light Novel Wich is the book so that do End up meeting but for some odd reason the Anime changed that and she Didn't get to meet him. They were suppose to reunite in the train seen but it was replaced with Gilbert's brother
@@undefeatedsaber9543 it makes sense. He died. When people die, they don't magically come back. Violet Evergarden took a realistic turn and told the story of a girl who had to deal with the loss of a dear one.
@@cozycozes7137 i know im super late to this. But the major was deemed missing in action and his body was never found. The very last scene at the end of the last episode is where violet reunites with the major, although it doesnt show him. And apparently in one of the newer light novels violet marrys him
@@shallteargf5974 Oh, go figure. Tho to be honest i wouldve liked it more if the anime did kill off the major, as cruel as that sounds. It would've made her development as a character more meaningfull, in my opinion
I'm scrolling through the comments and I'm almost crying... I simply find this so heartbreaking... reading everyone's stories and then reading the most memorable phrases of the anime, together with this song...
Those first three notes will always make my eyes well up with tears. I love this anime so much, and I feel so drained and sad after finishing it. Knowing that violet will carry on in her life despite her heart being in so much pain, inspires me to keep going too. She is such a beautiful, strong hearted girl. I'm glad she now knows what love is. Good luck with everything, Violet :')
This soundtrack is THE MOST THAT I LOVE IN this anime. My heart crushes into pieces the first time I heard it. It is just like.. someone who's really want to give up and end it all. Everythings. Fighting it all alone, but that someone still have a little sparks in her/his heart: that someday everything is gonna be ok.. eventhough s(he) does not know when, what or how much price it would take. Maybe the ultimate price of her/his life. S(he) still fighting all her life without no one know it.
Why my eyes are tearing.. Is someone here cutting onions? *“Do I have any right after I killed so many people as a weapon? I must have prevented them from keeping promises of their own! Promises they made to loved ones of their own! Everything I’ve done so far has sparked a flame that is now burning me up.”*- Violet Evergarden
This work of art hits my soul with deep sorrow. I'm reminded of when I lost the love of my life along with my unborn child. Every night before I go to bed i cant help but think of how much I lost and yearn for my old life back. I just wish I can feel the warmth of the family I was destined to have but unfortunately I'm burning inside and I can never make it stop.
Mate, you've made me cry by reading this, this is do sad and I feel sorry for you. Just don't give up, I knew a lot people which are not right now with me. So please, be strong!
Thank you Kaziu :) it took me a while but I’m happy now. I’m able to live my life the way I want to and I realize now that things happen for a reason. Thank you my friend and may god bless you and your family
"It's a weird thing, you never know when it comes, you don't know what it is, you never know how it ends, you don't know why it exists. It's like life and death, miserable but beautiful, rightful but wrong. It's a truly mysterious thing, love that is."
For me with this song I always think about the end of episode 7, If you watch the episode you know the scene I’m talking about. For me that scene hit me hard and I felt the song fit that scene perfectly. Heck to make that scene more sad is when there’s no quote at the end unlike the usual, just to show that there’s no lesson to take from this but simply silence, so hopefully you get some peace from the pain even if it is too soon for that and for now endure. This song just feels like it’s all about grieving and mourning, which the honestly the name of the song fits well (lol I weirdly like sad songs, I find them very beautiful😅)
I've been looking for this song, it's tragically beautiful with how it masterfully guides you through the highs and lows of the emotional spectrum. It makes me cry every time.
I think for me the saddest episode of this was episode eleven, the scene where Yale died ("Please don't leave me behind! I don't want to die!") and of course when Aiden's parents and Marie got his letter. I honestly cried buckets lol. I just recommended this to my uncle and his wife, and i'm sort of hoping I'll be able to break their hearts with this masterpiece. Violet had such a beautiful story and sort of made the world make sense to me. I think, sufficed to say, this show changed me as a person
I have a love hate relationship with Japanese anime,how it can be so relatable and just leave you with the feels you could hug every single person because you realize we all going through something and we all just need a lil love now and again to show us we are also here,alive and we'll be fine.
This song always reminded me of the hopelessness of the single moment where you sitting in a corner a battle raging on and you’ve lost your arms and you are just waiting for death at that point
A child was she When I looked her in the eye Cold and empty And not able to cry I loved this girl But too late was I For I left her alone Wondering why
You’re going to learn a lot of things, but it might be easier to keep living if you didn’t learn them, if you didn’t know them. You don’t realise that your body is on fire and burning up because of the things you did. You’ll understand one day. And then you’ll realise, for the first time, that you have many burns. *...Everything I’ve done so far has sparked a flame that is now burning me up.* “You’d have to have personally been trapped and felt the flames to really understand a terror way beyond falling” -David Foster Wallace
“守ってあげられなくて、ごめんなさい。 死なせてしまって、ごめんなさい” その文が終わった後、涙がとめらなかった。 My tears are ready to flood when Violet said the “I’m sorry that I let him die” line at ep 11.
I went from not really bothering with slice of life/shoujo anime to this literally being one of my top 3 shows in one go. Been giving a lot more of the type a chance too since, which has opened me up to some fantastic shows including Your Lie in April, Toradora and I have 'I want to eat your Pancreas' to read in the coming week. Absolute masterpiece of a show in every aspect... Story, voice acting, soundtrack and animation. Superb.
Losing someone important to you or being separated from someone is tough, whether it is death or a difficult situation too difficult to even explain. Violet Evergarden was a coping mechanism for me deal with my loss and separation. At first it was unhealthy for me, but soon after awhile I started seeing ways to pull through it. Today and a year later Im doing so much better than I used to. Not saying it's easy but if someone reading this message is going through any difficult situation regardless of what it is, don't sell yourself short, because the struggle is real and difficult. Just know you're strong for going through what you are and there is a light at the end of the tunnel
Its almost perfect for the state of the world... we're mourning the death of normal, the suffering of people everywhere either through sickness or finances. It matches the mood, its good to have that cathartic release... things will be ok.
I nearly made it through this show without crying. I definitely felt sad but there weren’t any tears yet. But man, that final scene in Episode 11 coupled with this music, I just completely broke down. I finally connected to the show like I never have with any other show before and it wrecked me. No show has ever made feel like Evergarden has, and probably there never will be…
This music is yet to define my story. I haven't experienced anything this heavy yet, but I know that that day will come. But I will gladly welcome the grief and agony it might bring me, for it is what we call "life."
This is played when Violet loses both of her arms when she protects Gilbert and Gilbert declares his love to her even though she doesn't really understand it!
What an incredible soundtrack, it touches my heart so much I want to cry 😭. How can you express so many emotions in one song, it's so unbelievable. This is one of the Most beautiful songs I've heard so far ❤❤❤. I get goosebumps all over my body just hearing this song. You hear so much pain and sadness that you just can't find the words. This song is so heartbreaking it pushes everything This song expresses everything from what we experienced in terms of suffering, pain and grief. I love this song very much ❤️. Thank you for that ♥️
god this show and soundtrack literal definition of "masterpiece". every single aspect of the show made with loads of love and effort and it shows if you torrent the movie you can also download scans of the handdrawn draft frames and see the effort of the artists
GOD DAMNIT AFTER LISTENING TO THIS BY CHANCE IM FORCED TO WATCH IT FOR THE 4TH TIME! Im probably gonna cry again if just this song brought an electric shock through my body... who knew after so long this OST still shook me so hard.
Nobody else is here because of the episode where she had to help the opera singer come up with the lyrics for a song and this ost popped up as part of her memories remembering how Hugo never came back from war yet and the promise he made to her?
Wherever I heard this song, I remember the moment Violet had with Gilbert. It tears my heart into pieces. But finally they reunited and belong together till the rest of their life. I'm so rooting for them T_T
