Netflix Adds “Violet Evergarden” Anime For US Users


Guess what, US fans? Now you can also get in on the show everyone was talking about twelve weeks ago!

Earlier today, Netflix’s United States service added Violet Evergarden to their digital platform. The series is available in its entirety, with audio in Japanese, English, French, German, Spanish, and Japanese (Audio Description). Subtitles are available in English, Japanese, Chinese (Simplified & Traditional), and Spanish.

The series originally began airing on Japanese TV on January 10. Netflix started simulcasting the series outside of the United States on January 11.

Taichi Ishidate (Beyond the Boundary) directed the project at Kyoto Animation, with Akiko Takase providing character designs. Reiko Yoshida (K-On!! franchise, Girls und Panzer) was in charge of series composition.

TRUE was tapped to perform the show’s opening theme.

The Violet Evergarden anime made its world debut at Anime Expo 2017. Netflix describes the series as:

The war is over, and Violet Evergarden needs a job. Scarred and emotionless, she takes a job as a letter writer to understand herself and her past.

A new anime project was officially announced yesterday, though details have yet to be confirmed as of press time.
