Violet Evergarden The Movie to show on NTV

There was an announcement today on Twitter that Violet Evergarden The Movie will be shown on NTV during its Friday "Kin-yo Roadshow" slot (usually Friday night at 9 p.m.) on November 25, 2022. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜


There is also an official announcement on the Violet Evergarden website and official Twitter account, with a comment from Director Ishidate.

Nippon TV even made a 6-minute compilation of the series to introduce newcomers to the story.
(Three minutes into the video and I was crying... ๐Ÿ˜‚)

Apparently, the usual 2-hour time slot will be extended by 40 minutes for this movie. As the movie is 140 minutes long, this means it should air with few, if any, scenes being cut to fit into the time slot. ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽŠ

This completes the cycle ever since the special cut of the TV series aired on NTV in October last year, followed by Violet Evergarden: Eternity and the Auto Memory Doll in November last year. I am so glad that NTV decided to close the loop on this. Looking forward to gluing myself in front of the TV on November 25, 2022! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Update 26 November 2022: The movie aired on Nippon TV last night. During that time slot, "Violet Evergarden" was trending on Twitter in Japan.

The entire time slot was from 21:00 to 23:34, which meant 154 minutes for a 140-minute movie. Of course, being terrestrial TV, there was a need to make time for commercials, so some parts of the movie were cut... ๐Ÿ˜ข
- The scene at the start of the movie, where Violet hands her dedication poem to Irma and it being read out
- The staff of CH Postal at the street market and bumping into Erica
- Benedict parking his motorcycle at CH Postal
- Gilbert's past, the one in which his father talked about "our flower" and Diethard got reprimanded
- The two ending songs (the credits were instead superimposed on the fireworks scene, and Daisy's visit to Ekarte Island)
- The final scene on the bed in Gilbert's room

My overall thoughts on Violet Evergarden The Movie.
