Teck's Treehouse: 3rd anniversary of Violet Evergarden The Movie

Time really flies. Violet Evergarden The Movie opened in Japanese theatres on 18 September 2020, and three years have gone by since then when I went to catch the movie on its first day in Japan.

Back then, to get information about the movie, I even created a Twitter (now X) account.

This was followed by catching the movie several more times (15 times as of today, to be exact), including several events which included the voice actors and the production staff.

I also wrote close to 100 blog posts about the series.

All posts related to Violet Evergarden.

And translated some short stories and a letter from author Kana Akatsuki.

I also wrote an app that runs on Windows, Linux, and Android which translates to and from the Tellsis language used in the writings found in the series.

Plus a bit of decoding (translating?) work on some of the stuff written in the Tellsis language.

I even attended the Violet Evergarden Orchestra Concert 2021.

And when the Blu-ray was released, I watched the three audio commentaries and provided a summary of them.

Looking back, this was quite a handful for three years. But looking at the recent trend from KyoAni, we can expect a 10th anniversary event for the series. Given that the series celebrated its 5th anniversary earlier this year, this means we have about 4.5 years more to go!

My overall thoughts on Violet Evergarden The Movie.
