- 3 days ago
The Great War finally came to an end after four long years of conflict; fractured in two, the continent of Telesis slowly began to flourish once again. Caught up in the bloodshed was Violet Evergarden, a young girl raised for the sole purpose of decimating enemy lines. Hospitalized and maimed in a bloody skirmish during the War's final leg, she was left with only words from the person she held dearest, but with no understanding of their meaning.

00:00What's the matter?
00:23It's your eyes.
00:26It's the same color as your eyes.
00:30The way I felt when I saw this, this feeling, what is it called?

00:50The way I felt when I saw this, this feeling, what is it called?
00:54Major Gilbert, I've been in the hospital
01:22for 120 days now.
01:24My strength has almost recovered.
01:26Movement is still a little difficult,
01:28but I can perform my duties.
01:30Please let me return to my post soon.
01:52I'll be right back.
01:54I'll be right back.
01:56I'll be right back.
01:58I'll be right back.
02:26I'll be right back.
02:36Her existence had been kept hidden from everyone.
02:40However, some of the people who knew about her
02:43said that she was a weapon.
02:46She would fight if you ordered her to.
02:48She just looked like a human.
02:50She was just a tool without a heart.
02:54Lieutenant Hodgins?
02:58This way.
03:00Oh.
03:02Oh.
03:04Yeah, sorry.
03:06Violet!
03:08Are you okay?
03:14Are you hurt?
03:20The Major?
03:22Where's Major Gilbert?
03:24He's not here.
03:28Where is he?
03:30Did he return home already?
03:32How are his injuries doing anyway?
03:34I know they were pretty severe.
03:38Tell me.
03:40Is the Major actually alive?
03:44Well, he's...
03:46You're being discharged from the hospital.
03:48Lieutenant Hodgins came all this way to pick you up, you know.
03:52Uh...
03:56Yeah, that's right.
03:58Excuse me.
03:59Lieutenant Hodgins.
04:01Violet...
04:02Relax.
04:03I had forgotten that you were a lieutenant.
04:06I apologize, sir.
04:08It's okay.
04:09Here, sit down.
04:13Anyway, I was wondering if you actually remember me.
04:17Yes, we have met twice before.
04:19During the training and the night before the battle.
04:22Yeah, you are right.
04:26What were you doing?
04:28I was writing a report to Major Gilbert.
04:31They said that writing words down would help to improve my condition a great deal.
04:37So how is the Major?
04:47Don't worry, Violet.
04:49He's the one who asked me to come here for you.
04:57So then, that means that he's fine.
05:01The doctor told me that we won the war.
05:04What post is he assigned to now?
05:07When will I be able to join him?
05:11First, get changed.
05:13I'll have them send the car in the meantime.
05:17This finally arrived.
05:19These are your belongings.
05:23It looks like they delivered it to an army base far away by mistake.
05:27The brooch.
05:30Huh?
05:31Where is the emerald brooch?
05:33Huh?
05:34This is everything there was from the garrison and the place where they found you.
05:38If it's not here, I have to look for it.
05:41Violet!
05:43Someone gave it to me.
05:45The Major gave it to me!
05:46I understand.
05:52I understand.
05:53I'll be sure to look for it.
05:56Don't worry.
05:57Yes, but...
05:58Anyway, you come along with me now.
06:02Those are his direct orders.
06:03Orders?
06:06Orders?
06:09I understand.
06:16Lieutenant?
06:17When am I going to receive my next orders from the Major?
06:20It's just that in my current condition, the duties I'm capable of performing are limited.
06:26Violet.
06:27I bought you a gift.
06:29I didn't really know what you'd like, so I bought three.
06:32What do you think?
06:34I don't need them.
06:36No.
06:37You have to choose one, so pretend that the world is about to end, okay?
06:41Three, two...
06:42Then the puppy.
06:44Here.
06:50Why did you choose the puppy?
07:00Because the Major's brother once told me, you're actually just like Gilbert's dog.
07:08Looks like it's gonna be a long journey.
07:11The train tracks around here were damaged during the bombing and aren't usable anymore.
07:16Have you ever been to Leiden before?
07:18No.
07:20Violet, listen.
07:34You have to live and be free.
07:38I mean it.
07:41I mean it.
07:55There you are.
07:58Lieutenant.
08:00There it is.
08:02The port of Leiden.
08:11Gilbert was thinking all along about what your future would hold after the war.
08:23That's why he was saying that he wants to leave you with the folks at the Evergarden household.
08:28His most trusted relatives.
08:34I contacted them earlier.
08:36The husband and wife said they'd be more than happy to take you in.
08:39I'm taking you there to meet them now.
08:41Thank you for coming.
08:52This is Violet.
08:54And this is the lady of the Evergarden household.
08:58You can say hello.
09:01Oh, a bow would be good enough.
09:04Doesn't it take around three days from Enchain now?
09:07Yes.
09:08Normally I'd be able to return in one day.
09:10But the war went on for four years.
09:14It's going to take some more time to restore everything.
09:18Well, Violet dear.
09:20Please have a drink.
09:21I'm sorry.
09:27Don't force yourself.
09:28Oh, no.
09:31You'll get burned.
09:32It's not a problem.
09:34I'm not able to feel the heat.
09:36But your bandages.
09:37We have to cool them down quickly.
09:39Oliver, bring some ice.
09:40Yes, madam.
09:41These arms are made of adamant silver.
09:47They're a bit clumsy, but they're sturdy.
09:49I'm not used to them yet.
09:51Someday I'll be able to use them with no problem, though.
09:53Can you come this way for a minute?
10:02I used these gloves when I was younger.
10:06Those are quite nice.
10:08Try them on.
10:08Yeah, they look good on you.
10:15They do.
10:19Well, I'm going to get going now.
10:21I have to get back to the office.
10:23Oh.
10:25Violet?
10:26Be sure to listen closely to Tiffany.
10:29It's okay.
10:31You don't have to worry about us at all.
10:33Think of me as your real mother, dear.
10:35You can tell me anything, okay?
10:40Yes, but I...
10:42Don't have any parents, so I don't need replacements.
10:47Don't see that, dear.
10:50I had a son, but he was killed in the war.
10:55I can't become a replacement for your lost child.
10:59I...
11:00Okay, listen, Violet.
11:01It's...
11:02It's Gilbert's wish for you...
11:04To live happily here.
11:08So...
11:08Do you understand?
11:24The Major!
11:26Major Gilbert!
11:27Why is he leaving me here?
11:29Is it because I lost my arms and lost my value as a weapon?
11:34If I just trained a little, I'd still be able to fight!
11:40Violet, you know that...
11:41Well, you know the war is over.
11:44I am the Major's tool.
11:47But...
11:48If he doesn't need me anymore, then I should be discarded.
11:53Please do it.
11:54Please discard me somewhere.
12:09Lieutenant Hodgins.
12:10Oh, I forgot to tell you.
12:12I left the army.
12:14I'm not a lieutenant anymore.
12:17Then what should I call you?
12:19Call me President.
12:20This is my company.
12:26I bought an old house and renovated it a bit.
12:30The first floor has the reception desk.
12:32All right, sir.
12:35If I could ask you to please write down the receivers' and senders' addresses on this form here.
12:39And we ask you to please allow at least three days for it to be delivered.
12:43The second floor houses the office and the writing department.
12:46Writing?
12:47Yes.
12:49This department writes letters at the requests of our clients.
12:52There are still many people who don't know how to write.
12:55I didn't know how to write either.
12:59Until the Major taught me how.
13:02I see.
13:05I was thinking about starting a business once the war ended.
13:09The government's postal service doesn't address the needs of civilians, so I thought it would be a good opportunity.
13:15Now, here's your orders, Violet Evergarden.
13:19The fact is that Gilbert left you in my care, so I'm going to give you orders in his place.
13:26You're still very useful, Violet.
13:29You can work.
13:30Right here.
13:34Benedict.
13:36Yeah, what's up, President?
13:38You're supposed to say, how can I help you, President?
13:41So?
13:42What's up?
13:42Ow!
13:43Why'd you do that?
13:44You didn't listen to me.
13:46This is Benedict.
13:47He's a postman here.
13:48He's an old friend from before I started this company.
13:51And, Benedict, let me introduce you to Violet.
13:57She'll be a postman, starting today.
14:00She's just a little kid.
14:02She's highly capable of performing her duties.
14:05I'm going to go to the bank for a bit.
14:07Teach her what she needs to know.
14:16Put your stuff in here.
14:17Yes, sir.
14:19Your uniform.
14:20Put it on.
14:21Yes, of course, sir.
14:24What?
14:24Wait!
14:25Hold on!
14:30It's too big.
14:31It's not a problem.
14:33Wouldn't it be better to take those off?
14:35Will it be hard to sort the mail like that?
14:44No.
14:44It's not going to be a problem.
14:47Sort them just like it says here, then put them in those shelves over there.
14:52There's a huge pile of mail, but you don't have to rush.
14:56And the break room is on the second floor.
14:59I understand, sir.
15:00I'll see ya.
15:03Sir, I've almost completed my duties.
15:24Were you working the whole time?
15:26Without taking a break?
15:27I'm used to long operations.
15:32So, uh...
15:33You maybe want to try...
15:35Delivering the mail?
15:37Delivering?
15:37You deliver the letter to the address that's written on it.
15:46Anyway, I'm going to go home now.
15:52See you tomorrow.
15:52We'll discuss financing after reviewing your performance.
16:04Right.
16:06Looks like some companies do nighttime deliveries, too.
16:09We couldn't afford that.
16:15Violet!
16:19What are you doing?
16:21Delivering the mail.
16:22Uh, I meant you can deliver the mail tomorrow.
16:28And make sure to take breaks during work.
16:32You just got out of the hospital, after all.
16:34It's not a problem.
16:36All right, you know what?
16:37It is a problem.
16:40Now listen, Violet.
16:41Go ahead and eat.
16:46Yes, sir.
16:46You can return to the office after you eat.
16:51We only have space in the attic, but you can sleep there.
16:54Uh, the Evergardens have agreed to take you in and have you live with them until you become an adult.
17:03But it looks like leaving you at the mansion.
17:08Yeah, that's a problem.
17:09Ow!
17:10Hey, I was trying to put it nicely.
17:13How was I supposed to know?
17:14Well, see you tomorrow.
17:20I'll walk you.
17:21So, what was the last order you received from Gilbert?
17:28He said, you have to live and be free.
17:30You've been in the army ever since you were a child.
17:42You've spent your life fulfilling your duties.
17:46However, you're going to learn many things in the future.
17:51Although, it might be easier to keep living if you never learn them.
17:56You see, you don't realize yet, but your body is on fire and burning up because of the things you did.
18:09I'm not burning.
18:10Yes, you are.
18:12I'm not burning. I don't get it.
18:14No. You are burning.
18:19I saw you like that and left you alone.
18:22That's why when Gilbert left you with me, it was my chance for redemption.
18:30Someday, you'll understand what I said.
18:33And then you'll realize for the first time that you have many burns.
18:37Yes, you are.
19:08Uh, no, my name is Violet.
19:10Oh.
19:13Well, in that case, Miss Violet, can I get you to write something for me?
19:18Write for...
19:19Yeah, I don't know how to write.
19:23So, I'd like you to write a letter for me.
19:26What should I write?
19:28Uh, do you want to talk about it here?
19:32Do you think there's a problem with that?
19:33Uh, oh, well, I, uh, I heard that a childhood friend of mine recently received a marriage offer from another man.
19:44So, I want you to tell her this.
19:50You were the first person who was kind to me.
19:54I appreciated it.
19:58You were everything to me.
20:03I would have done anything for you.
20:06Anything at all.
20:08Go!
20:13I want to know how you feel.
20:16I want to understand what's in your heart.
20:22You know...
20:24We're apart now.
20:25I love you.
20:33We'll end with that.
20:35Okay?
20:35What do you think?
20:38Great!
20:40I love you.
20:45Please stop by at the reception desk on the first floor for delivery.
20:48Sir.
20:52All of us here at the Auto Memories Doll Service wish to thank you for coming in today.
21:06So, who are you?
21:08I don't understand how you knew.
21:15Huh?
21:17How did you know...
21:18That the man just now...
21:20Wanted to say I love you.
21:24Do you want to work as an Auto Memories Doll?
21:28Yes.
21:29It's still hard for me to hold a pen.
21:31But I can operate a typewriter.
21:34No, that's not what I mean.
21:36I wanted to ask you why.
21:38I just want to know!
21:43I love you.
21:45What does it mean?
21:50The Major said those words to me.
21:52After he gave me my last orders.
21:55That was...
21:56The first time I heard those words from the Major.
22:01I just don't understand what that really means.
22:03So, I thought this might...
22:06Help me learn.
22:10Normally, people become Auto Memories Dolls because they do understand that.
22:17But...
22:18It's okay.
22:19She had always just followed Gilbert's orders in the past.
22:29That was the first time she asserted her own will.
22:33Everyone said she didn't have a heart.
22:36But she said,
22:37I want to know what I love you means.
22:39No way!
22:46There's no way I'm going to let you die!
22:52Stop it.
22:57Stop it already!
22:58Stop it already!
23:04Enough.
23:05Violet, listen.
23:12You have to...
23:14Live...
23:16And be free.
23:23I mean it.
23:31I love you.
23:32I love you.
23:32I love you.
23:35I love you.
23:36I love you.
23:36I love you.
23:36I love you.
23:36I love you.
23:37I love you.
23:37I love you.
23:37I love you.
23:37I love you.
23:38I love you.
23:38I love you.
23:39I love you.
23:39I love you.
23:40I love you.
23:40I love you.
23:41I love you.
23:41I love you.
23:41I love you.
23:42I love you.
23:42I love you.
23:42I love you.
23:42I love you.
23:43I love you.
23:43I love you.
23:44I love you.
23:44I love you.
23:44I love you.
23:45I love you.
23:45I love you.
23:46I love you.
23:46I love you.
23:46I love you.
23:47I love you.
23:48I love you.
23:48I love you.
23:49I love you.
23:50I love you.
