Hello, hope you are well .

I was curious about the sources of the country names in the novel Like Eustitia, intense, flugel. I initially thought they were of Japanese origin, but seem not the case. Are they derived from an old language or something like that ?

Also, I heard that a new book was recently published, and wondering if any translations of it is available.

Hi, Anon! Doing great, thanks! And I’m working on these translations! It’s pretty long, though!

These are all words that actually exist in different languages. They go to show that Violet is indeed traveling to countries that have a language of their own in the novel, instead of how the anime completely skips her education under Tiffany’s wing and just pretends that everyone in the world only speaks one idiom while all the countries have different languages in their names and distinct cultures, lol.

Eustitia (also written as Iustitia) means “justice”. I believe it refers to Leon’s very strict and dry views of the world and how he judges his mother for abandoning him as a child, even though she had a reason to leave (AKA looking for his missing father). In his mind, she had a role as a mother and should have fulfilled it, but she chose to forsake it because his father was more important. Forget any guilt that she could have felt for not going looking for her husband or at least trying to find out what happened to him - Leon was very hurt as a child and he very understandably doesn’t have space to hold for his parents at the beginning of his chapter.

The thing about Leon is that, technically, he’s not wrong about his ideals, but he’s too rational, and the whole point of his journey is finding out that love makes people lose their sense of reason. It’s also kind of a dig on him because, sure, justice is blind, but so is love, lol. Even though he’s so strict on women, he ends up falling head over heels for Violet.

By the way, Eustitia is the capital of Astrea, which means “starry” or “star-like”, because it’s the “country of astronomy”. By the way, Eustitia/Iustitia is the name of a Roman goddess and Astrea is the name of a Greek god.

Intense is easier. It’s English, and I mean. Big battle, right? We get it, we get it.

Fluegel (also written as Flügel) is German and means “wing”. Drossel is also German and means “thrush”, as in the bird. A bird cannot fly without wings, so I’m pretty sure these words showcase rather poetically how the two countries are politically dependent on each other, which is why they marry their royal family members off to one another. I also think it alludes to Charlotte and Damian’s relationship.

Not my usual genre of post BUT!

Thinking about Leon’s(?) dismissive attitude toward auto memory dolls as a profession and how much it mirrors real life sexism:

1.Dissmissal toward « women’s jobs »: auto memory dolls are not only a seemingly women only profession (no male dolls in anything i’ve seen at least), there’s also the fact that most of their job is emotionnal labor which is traditionnaly more expected from women, we can also draw parrallel to the way social sciences are often considered as « usless » compared to stem (admitedly that’s starting to change but still…)

2. « She’s only in it to find a husband », a more old fashionned type of misoginy but Young women used to sometimes be told to pursue a degree that would alow them to find a rich husband rather than one who would get them a job they like

(jeez i wonder what these women must go through on a daily basis, not only are they doing customer service they’re also expected to be therapists AND are likely the target of quite a lot of sexist bullshit)

I always thought that Attack on titan had the best Animation, until I saw Violet Evergarden.

Like these are just random Screenshots and I could use them as random wallpaper or Profil pics anywhere cuz the animation is just that good and that pretty.

Really love and appreciat that Kyōto Animation put so much efforts in VE's Animation.

—

the air was tight, clinging onto his skin through his tethered clothes. the clouds were a mask that hid the directions from view, but this aching feeling was telling him to go -almost as if a slight transgression from course would make him drown in the blackness of the night. inside, his mind was playing like a scratched record, his fondest memories -like music to his ears- were warping and moaning like a broken orchestra. yet one thing brought harmony to the whole cacophony, a blonde haired conductor who made the chaos calm with memories of her gentle, silver hands pressing each key of her type writer, like gravity connecting all his world into a single system.

memories of her were not unfamiliar, in fact, he thought of her everyday, counting the stars like a wish, longing to see the diamond sky in her glass like eyes. their departure at first left a feeling of a rose’s thorn stabbing into his heart, but her enticing beauty wouldn’t allow him to part with her intangible presence. he, who once thought of himself as a rational scientist found himself distraught at the star he could no longer see. but in his mind, the lingering pain was what comforted him at night.

on her departure he had made a promise to her; a promise that he’d explore the world. he continued to struggle through twisted trees and gasping grass in hopes to see the the merging of two solar systems, but the sky wouldn’t grant him that grace tonight. still, in his heart there was this sensational warmth that coerced him to try and find this phenomenon. his legs ached whilst the stinging sweat trickled down his hair onto his skin. but no matter what, he could not stop.

then, at a clearing, blonde flowers bloomed in the dark night with green stems keeping them up. his eyes casted upwards as the clouds began to drift, but he felt a shift in atmosphere that conquered his senses.

“it’s been a long time.”

the voice struck him like remembered lyrics from a long lost song. but he never forgot this muse, in fact, he tried to rewrite his own words that were left unsaid at their inevitable departure.

he slowly turned around, fingers outstretched as his palms pushed against his academic robe, his pupils modulated as the final string holding his tears broke.

“violet.”

there she was, glistening in the starlight, her features similar but evolved -she became a more mature and softer light. in her eyes, she carried multiple stories he tried to read but waves clashed with his eyesight.

in that moment he felt their light year distances collide and they returned back to each other; the universe collapsed into a single singularity, but in that union they were not lonely for they had fallen back to each other.

Warning: Slight spoiler?

Evertime GIlbert looked at Violet we could see how guilty this man feels. It's written all over his face that he hates himself for bringing her to war and even before it was comfirmed you can just see he hates that he couldn't do more for her or leave her out of war.

Throughout the series he looked heartbroken for her his eyes are filled with sorrow and guilt.

When he tried to push her away from him (before the final battle of the war) and he sees her crying he cried too because he is just hurting her.

But it was the best choice to disappear for a while and decide to give her a normal life, I mean look at how her character developed and how she helped people around her and they helped her.

The main story of Violet Evergarden has ended with the movie but the Light Novels actually continued for a while.

There are many side storys about characters that didn't get much attention in the main storyline and even many "What if" storys about Violet are there.

While (I think) the director of the VE anime said he isn't interessted in continuing the anime for the time right now I really hope he will (or someone else) since there is so so much good and interessting material.

Plus the fandom (which half of it is asleep) would wake up again and It's such a beautiful anime.
