In the present time, the term refers to the industry of writing for others. The story follows Violet Evergarden's journey of reintegrating back into society after the war is over and her search for her life's purpose now that she is no longer a soldier in order to understand the last words her mentor and guardian, Major Gilbert, had told her: "I love you."


Review: 
         I watched this anime 4 times, each time, I either cry or silently just watch the anime. Hell, princess episode got me, like hardcore got me, because if you pay attention princess is showing sign of respect to the maid that pretty much raised her! That episode was amazing, then screen writer losing his daughter? That also got me, I even cried!

I really love this series, I even watch OVA, brilliant OVA, its perfect. I haven't watch movie yet though, I plan on to after I watch some other anime that been on my list for while.

If you haven't watch Violet evergarden, Check it out!
