Still busy as hell…but still ended up watching Violet Evergarden. I don’t think I was as wowed by this episode as the first, but this was definitely still a solid episode.

- Emerging feminism! Taking all into account, this would be something like…the late 19th century?

- Benedict continues to be cute. I expected him to be more embittered after being rejected so many times, but he’s a gooder soul than I thought.
- The way Claudia got his name was certainly…kind of sad.
- I do ship this pair though – they’re like the parents. I always ship the “parents” in an anime with a large cast (though I’m not sure how large this cast would be). The wise people who observe and protect at a distance and are cute together in private. Well, this scene was more like harassment, but we get some insight into their relationship at the end of the episode.

- Another image that reminds me that Violet is still a “dog.” She leaves her stuffed animal on the floor, and possibly even plays with it on the floor. I wonder if she still bites it.

- This one really got me to laugh. I found some of the jokes around Violet’s inability to read the atmosphere a little predictable in this episode (like the incident with the love letter), but this one, especially coupled with that perfectly innocent expression, was pure gold.
- This was visually stunning. I haven’t seen such beautiful rain scenes in a while. I have to say that it beats Koi wa Ameagari no you ni, which is actually about the rain. Pathetic fallacy is such a cliched technique – having it rain when characters are confronting each other and having the sun come out when they’re done. But obviously, it works really well.
- It was nice that Violet and Erica bonded. I can’t say much about Erica’s personality right now, but she feels like someone who is potentially relatable. I enjoy Erica’s design, and hope to see her develop more.

- Same, Violet, same! I shall continue with your show.
So that was episode 2! I found some parts more predictable than the first episode, which was gripping throughout, but ep. 2 does show us some more of the cast. Hmm…it’s only going to have 14 episodes? I feel like this should really be a 24-26 episode show. That’s how I generally feel about fantasy anime that introduces its audience to its cast at a slower pace. We’ll see how it goes.
It was definitely another solid episode. That scene where she read the loveletter out loud was the best scene from the episode in my opinion 😂😂 Hmm, had not realised it’s going to be only 14 episodes. That really is a shame 😢😢

I thought this was supposed to be on Netflix but I guess I have to find it through other means…. It looks great.
