There is actually an International Letter Writing Week (国際文通週間). It spans one week, including 9 October, which is World Post Day. For this year, it is from 9 to 15 October 2021. I got to know about it when translating a news release for a company which was doing something related to International Letter Writing Week, and it occurred to me that, maybe, just maybe, the release of Violet Evergarden The Movie's DVD/Blu-ray was timed for this week (the release day is 13 October 2021) to coincide with International Letter Writing Week, since letter writing is a very core part of the story.
For those who ordered the DVD/Blu-ray, a letter from Violet Evergarden (it is the final letter written by Violet to Gilbert) will be delivered together with the DVD/Blu-ray. The letter was read out by Violet in the movie, except the last line, which you can find the meaning here.
And I got my other copy of the special edition Blu-ray delivered from KyoaniShop today.
My overall thoughts on Violet Evergarden The Movie.
