The anime adaptation of the award-winning light novel Violet Evergarden is set for a winter 2018 debut in Japan and with it getting Netflix distribution overseas. We’ve got a bit to go yet for it but the official social media side for the property has dropped an intriguing short video on Twitter where it showcases the progress of a brief segment of the series where it goes from storyboards to final production through its various phases, showing what’s involved in very brief.
Taichi Ishidate is directing with Akiko Takase serving as the character designer and chief animation director. Reiko Yoshida is handling the series composition. The Japanese cast include Takehito Koyasu as Claudia Hoggins, Daisuke Namikawa as Gilbert Bougainvillea, Aya Endou as Cattleya Baudelaire, and Kouki Uchiyama as Benedict Blue.
TRUE will be performing the opening theme “Sincerely” for it.
The light novel came from writer Kana Akatsuki and had illustrations by Akiko Takase.
Plot Concept: “Auto Memories Doll.” It’s already been a long time since that name was first popularized. It’s a machine that Dr. Orlando created that talks in a natural voice. At first, he only made it to help out his loving wife, but before long they spread out into the world. and companies were made to lend them out. “I’m Violet Evergarden, the Auto Memories Doll who will rush to provide service anywhere you wish.“ That translucent voice comes from a robotic beautiful girl with blonde hair and blue eyes like she came out of a storybook.
