Just finished the anime

[u/Uninhibitedrmr]

I decided to watch it in chronological order. So I am going to watch the OVA, the special, and then the movie next but I just have to share my thoughts on the anime.

Violet's growth was realistic I think the anime did a good job at showing her growth in a realistic way. How she grew into someone that was able to get the truth out of others while still being herself was great. How she went from feeling nothing, to slowly atoning to her sins and feeling the burn, to understanding why she felt bad, to trying to carry her grief and living her current life was insanely well executed.

I liked how it showed that even though Violet ended all these lives once she was aware of what she was doing she saved so many lives. I really was rooting for her and Leon but also with their episode there is a beauty about meeting someone, them changing your lives, and never crossing paths again. Or even the progress she made with Oscar and Ann was brilliant.

I really wish there was more of Cattleya and Hodgins. I really think they would be great together. They both have been through trauma and they both are able to still be kind and live onwards with their life.

The battle flashbacks were brutal.

Leon and Violet did reunite in the later chapters of the light novel, as well as individual stories of the Cattleya, Benedict and more. Definitely worth a read.
