Violet Evergarden

Auto Memories Doll.

 

It's been quite a while since that name caused a fuss. Originally invented by Professor Orland solely for his beloved wife, Auto Memories Dolls eventually spread out into the world, and a machine that allows people to rent out the dolls was also created.

 

"I will run as fast as I can to wherever my customer desires. I am the Auto Memories Doll, Violet Evergarden."

 

A girl who almost appears to have popped out of a fairy tale with her blonde hair and blue eyes said this with her inorganic beauty and sweet voice.

 

An anime adaption of the light novel Violet Evergarden, the first and only grand prize winner of the Kyoto Animation Award to date, has been announced by Kyoto Animation. It's a collection of short stories featuring the character Violet Evergarden, as she meets and helps different people (makes me think of Mushishi). Hard to say when next we'll hear of it, but this looks absolutely beautiful so far and I'm really excited.

This gives me a Plastic Memories feel.

 

Plastic Memories with KyoAni art? A must watch.

If the writing is as solid as the prestige it carries, then with that premise it's going to be one hell of an anime. Plastic Memories with Kino-style episodic storytelling but more character-driven. Definitely something to look forward to.

Looks beautiful and the premise is something I enjoy.

EY YO YOU FUCKS WHERE'S MY HARUHI WHAT IS THIS sheet STOP STOP STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP

 

I didn't dislike Plastic Memories but didn't really like the story progression it had either. This 'collection of short stories'-style might be more my style, really.
