This touching tale will be revisited once again.
Earlier today, Kyoto Animation started streaming a new teaser trailer for the upcoming Violet Evergarden anime movie project. The 97-second promo opens with narration against a soft piano melody. At the midway point, character dialogue sets much of the tone, as the music swells. All the while, animation footage plays as an accompaniment. The promo ends with a confirmation that the film will hit theaters in January 2020.
A visual for the film depicts Violet walking with a letter, as roses seem to follow as they stretch from off-camera.
The film was first announced yesterday, at a concert event. The project will be a “completely new work.”
The Violet Evergarden anime originally began airing on Japanese TV on January 10. Netflix started simulcasting the series outside of the United States on January 11. Violet Evergarden officially launched on Netflix’s United States platform on April 5.
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.
