Let me start out by saying this may be the best looking movie I have ever seen. It is visually so appealing and even if the story sucked, I would have still liked this movie. Luckily the story did not suck, and I enjoyed it for more than just its looks. This movie follows a girl named Violet Evergreen in the time of WWII. She is a doll, a girl who writes letters for people who are illiterate. It follows her as she navigates her life and eventually writes letters for a mother who is dying. This is the sequel for a the TV show Violet Evergarden although you don't have to have seen the series to like the movie. The movie kind of flashes between romance and slice of life, and although not much happens I found the whole movie very enjoyable. This movie is sad, romantic, and happy. It has Violet's backstory, which is sad as she was involved in the WW. It also has Violet's actions in everyday which although is not romantic by nature, is portrayed in a romantic way. You also get a bunch of laughter and friendship that makes the movie happy. Lastly this movie is beautifully animated. This movie was done in 2020 and as far as I know received no recognition for it, which I think is a shame. This movie, in my opinion, could have easily be at out any other movie for prettiest animation, if this was a category in and awards. I have not seen any animation as nice as this, it was fluid, stunning, and the sound design paired with it made it feel surreal. The animation is what made this movie so good and honestly I am sad they have not made any sequels as the movie ended in a way that could have set up another movie. If I had to give this movie a rating, I would rate it a 8.5/10, the animation is a 10/10 but the story is a 7/10. Although the story is beautiful, not a lot happens. If I was in the mood for a movie like that, then I would have been completely ok with that, and honestly the story would have probably been a 9/10 for me, but I wanted a little more to happen. The movie was great and I recommend it to anyone who is willing to watch anime and would want to watch one.
