'''''Violet Evergarden''''' is a [[Thirteen-Episode Anime]] series adapted from a series of light novels. The light novels were initially released in 2015. The adaptation was animated by [[Kyoto Animation]], and was released in early 2018. An OVA that takes place between episodes three and four was released in July. Two feature length films accompany the series: the spin-off ''[[Violet Evergarden: Eternity and the Auto Memory Doll]]'' (2019) and the follow-up ''[[Violet Evergarden: The Movie]]'' (2020), its release delayed after the arson attack at the studio.

The series follows the titular Violet Evergarden as she seeks to become an auto memory doll after a war. Auto memories dolls write down, on letters, what others cannot put into words. They must be attuned to the emotions of others, and be a fast typer. Unfortunately for Violet, being a [[Child Soldier]] has many downsides, one of them is how she has [[No Social Skills]] and doesn't know how to feel, resulting in overly formal letters. She's got the second part nailed, but the first part? There's a lot to learn there...

To remedy this, she attends an academy for auto memory dolls. She writes a seminal letter for a fellow pupil, brining her and her brother close together, kickstarting her journey as a auto memory doll. Violet journeys around, travelling to meet other clients and offering them service. These clients include an ill mother, and an alcoholic playwright recovering from grief. As the series progresses, the focus on impacts of the war and Violet's time in the military grows. But what is thing thing they call "love"?

The series is focused on evoking an emotional response, and is stuffed to the brim with [[Tear Jerker]] moments. Ensure you have tissues near you.
