It was announced by MiracleBus that Kyoto Animation studio's Violet Evergarden will get an anime . After winning several trailers with beautiful animation and also being named as the possible best anime of this year.
Although MiracleBus lists Violet Evergarden as a 2017 series on the Kyoto Animation website, we can see that a “preview” will take place on October 21st. Autumn anime series typically premiere in early October, and winter season anime typically premiere the following year. So if Violet Evergarden is a normal anime series, a preview on October 21st would imply a premiere in 2018.
A little bit of the story revealed:
“Auto Memories Doll”. It has been a long time since this name was first popularized. It's a machine that Dr. Orlando created that speaks in a natural voice. At first, he only did it to help his beloved wife, but soon it spread throughout the world.
“I am Violet Evergarden, the Auto Memories Doll who will rush to provide service anywhere she desires.”
Violet Evergarden is an “Auto Memories Doll”, a robot made to help those who cannot write put their thoughts on paper. Throughout her life, Violet meets many people and connects many hearts through her letters. Although her time with each person is short, the bonds formed during her time will not be easily forgotten.”
The direction is by Taichi Ishidate, the same one who directed (Kyoukai no Kanata), while the character design is by Akiko Takase (High Speed! -Free! Starting Days) and animators Nami Iwasaki, Fumio Tada, Kohei Okamura, Shinpei Sawa, Nobuaki Maruki, Tatsuya Sato and Miku Kadowaki.
