I’ve said before that this isn’t really my style of choice, but this was an excellent execution of what they’re attempting to do. This episode’s climax became the perfect encapsulation of that approach, as a ridiculously ambitious sequence triggered a heartbreaking flashback also handled by the studio’s flashiest character animator. It’s definitely louder than episodes like Yasuhiro Takemoto’s and Naoko Yamada’s, but in a way I feel like it’s Violet Evergarden at its most cohesive: an opulent production that shamelessly yet sincerely wants to pull at your heartstrings in a grand way. ─ Now this is more what I came to expect after the first episode: personal tragedies delivered with enough grandeur to justify the cheesiness of the whole affair. Ryohei Muta, Kayo Hikiyama, Seiya Kumano, Keita Nagahara, Tomomi Sato, Momoka Yoshizaki The anime industry is known for allowing these individual artists lots of room to express their own style.: Tatsuya Sato, Minoru Ota, Maiko Hado, Yurika Ono
Key Animation Key Animation (原画, genga): These artists draw the pivotal moments within the animation, basically defining the motion without actually completing the cut. Plenty of specialized Animation Direction roles exist – mecha, effects, creatures, all focused in one particular recurring element.: Miku Kadowaki, Chiyoko Ueno, Yuki Tsunoda
They might correct cuts that deviate from the designs too much if they see it fit, but their job is mostly to ensure the motion is up to par while not looking too rough. The role also exists in movies, refering to the individuals similarly in charge of segments of the film.: Takuya YamamuraĪnimation Direction Animation Direction (作画監督, sakuga kantoku): The artists supervising the quality and consistency of the animation itself.
A series of usually simple drawings serving as anime's visual script, drawn on special sheets with fields for the animation cut number, notes for the staff and the matching lines of dialogue., Episode Direction Episode Direction (演出, enshutsu): A creative but also coordinative task, as it entails supervising the many departments and artists involved in the production of an episode – approving animation layouts alongside the Animation Director, overseeing the work of the photography team, the art department, CG staff. Storyboard Storyboard (絵コンテ, ekonte): The blueprints of animation. And beyond that, another chance to examine the production of the series and details some fans have asked us about, like which tools were used to create this series. Perhaps the most important episode of Violet Evergarden on a narrative sense since the premiere, as well as an interesting change in tone that also brings back the grandeur of the first episode.
