Usually a person might decide to watch a movie after seeing a trailer or hearing good things about it. Kyoto Animation is doing something unusual to entice people to see their new Violet Evergarden movie: they’ve posted the first ten minutes on YouTube.
Even if you don’t speak Japanese, you can still get a feel for the movie. And, remember, it’s part of the franchise that’s known for making Japanese fans cry.
While Violet Evergarden was originally scheduled to come out earlier this year, it was unsurprisingly bumped back, first because of the arson attack and then because of COVID. It’s currently playing in theatres in Japan, after opening second place in the Japanese box office. The franchise’s previous movie, Violet Evergarden I: Eternity and the Auto Memory Doll, came out last fall. Kyoto Animation has been recovering since the arson attack that took place last year, and it’s good to see its new movie doing well.
