Up until that point this does not disappoint. The entire presentation is excellent up until the last 5 seconds, then leaves the audience in a "What? That's it?" state of mind. However this "movie" seems more like an extended episode and (no spoilers) has a rather abrupt and unexpected finale. I am a big fan of the Violet Evergarden series. I think it actually might be a bit hard to follow. If you liked the anime series, then this is definitely worth a watch. Still, that's pretty much the only disappointing thing about this film. You'd have hoped that if they were going to make a movie, they would have chosen a storyline that would have better served its length. That being said, it can feel a bit padded. It's sweet, heartfelt, at times really sad and filled with melancholy, but in the end optimistic and looking hopefully towards the future. This could have been a two-parter in the series itself. Furthermore, the story also fits nicely with what we've seen in the anime. That's definitely more of a compliment towards the anime than it is a flaw on the movie's part. And it's actually quite rare that a movie version of an anime doesn't look better, but here I'd say they're about even. I found myself missing lines because I was admiring the details.
The animation is at times so beautiful that it honestly becomes a bit distracting.
The good things of the series carry to this movie as well. Its titular character is a former soldier who lost both of her hands in the war but is now nevertheless pursuing a career as an auto memory doll, a ghost writer slash typist slash secretary for hire.
