![]() The novel’s compiled like a collection of short stories, so the timeline is quite jumbled. Ishidate: Oh yes, we had a lot of trouble with that. Did you have a lot of trouble when restructuring the story? Speaking of which, the order in which the events unfold in the anime are quite different from the sequence in the novel. I see, so you placed a lot of importance on portraying Violet’s growth in the anime. ![]() That’s another unique characteristic of hers.įujita: After reading the novel, I thought that even if Violet is a girl who may look a little scatterbrained and careless at first, she’s a prism who can help her clients as well as the people around her, and I paid a lot of attention to portraying her growth through the episodes. A prism splits a single ray of light into 7 different colors, right? When the other characters passed their thoughts and feelings through Violet, they underwent changes-perhaps their beliefs changed, maybe they found salvation, or they began to look at the world a little differently… So we thought she’s quite like a prism in that way.Īlso, just like what Fujita had said earlier, due to her “imperfection”, she has the ability to say and do things other people might consider taboo. After reading the novel, what kind of girl do you think Violet is?įujita: When we were talking about that with the rest of the staff, we came to the conclusion that she’s like a prism. After reading through the book and seeing how Violet was like in it, I thought, well, when I adapt this into an anime, I want to show her starting out with that imperfect state and gradually overcoming it. But even so, she wasn’t perfect-she was missing something, and that made her a very interesting character. Since the novel was written in an omnibus format, it made me want to keep on reading.įujita: The Violet in the novel was the kind of girl who can already handle her job in a professional manner. The first chapter of the novel is “The Novelist and the Auto Memory Doll”, which covers the episode between Oscar and Violet, and it made me cry from the get go. Ishidate: It had me in tears right from the very beginning. ![]() So, before we begin with the technical side of Violet Evergarden’s production, can you tell us what your thoughts are after reading the original novel by Kana Akatsuki for the first time?
