At best, it's a excuse for existing fans to revisit some of the show's best moments. Recollections is inferior to the original in every way. Before you can process one heart-wrenching scene, you're whisked along to the next. None of the emotional beats are given the time they need to settle. None of the characters (especially Violet) feel well-rounded because all their quiet, contemplative moments were cut.

The result is a rushed and disjointed experience. The original show's two-episode finale is totally thrown out, and in order to avoid any inconsistencies, the character of Dietfried - Gilbert's brother - is thrown out too. Gilbert's storyline is edited down into a nine-minute sequence which will no-doubt confuse first-time watchers. The two introductory episodes are crammed into thirty minutes, and then we watch three of Violet's most popular assignments, largely unchanged (though they are all shortened). Spread among the one-shots are episodes focused on Violet's relationship with her beloved Major Gilbert - these are the 'important' bits, but it's the one-shots that make them work. Seeing Violet grow into a fully realised human is part of what makes the show so remarkable. clients, and that helps her reconcile her tragic past. She gradually comes to understand the meaning of love by seeing it reflected in her

The scenarios are creative, beautiful, and often touching, but what matters is how Violet learns from them. In the original, Violet ventures out each episode to help a different client express their true feelings in the form of a letter. It's not a long show, and there wasn't much (if any) fat to cut. Recollections is designed to condense that first season into ninety-five minute recap film.īut Evergarden never needed a recap. It contains one season, two one-shots, and a movie. Violet Evergarden is one of the greatest anime ever made.
