Will There Be A Season 2 Of Violet Evergarden
More Violet Evergarden? Pretty Please?
Okay, let's be real. We all ugly-cried during Violet Evergarden. I'm talking full-on snot bubbles, the works. But the question remains: do we need a season 2? I'm about to say something controversial.
Maybe... maybe not? Hear me out before you grab your pitchforks.
The Case for "Absolutely Yes!"
Look, Violet is gorgeous. The animation? Chef's kiss! It's like watching a painting come to life. We want more stunning visuals, right?
Must Read
And who wouldn't want more stories of love and loss? Violet's journey of self-discovery was beautiful. We are greedy, and want to see her finding even more understanding of emotions.
Plus, there's that lingering feeling. Are all the stories really told? Surely there are more letters to write and hearts to mend. We are talking about possibilities here.
But...My Hot Take
Okay, here it is. My unpopular opinion: Violet Evergarden might be perfect as it is. I know, I know! Blasphemy!
But think about it. The story had a beautiful conclusion. Violet found peace, and we (mostly) stopped crying (eventually). Does adding more risk ruining that?
Sometimes, things are best left untouched. Like that perfect chocolate chip cookie. Why mess with perfection?
The Danger of Overstaying
Think of other shows that went on for too long. They started out great, then went downhill. We wouldn't want that for Violet!
Imagine forced storylines and repetitive emotional beats. No, thank you. I'd rather keep the original intact in its brilliance.
Less is sometimes more. It's a hard pill to swallow, but a true one.
What Could Work (Maybe)
Alright, alright, I'll compromise. If they did do more Violet Evergarden, it would have to be done right. No cheap cash-grabs allowed!
Maybe a series of short stories? Focusing on side characters or exploring different time periods? That could be interesting.
Or perhaps a prequel about Major Gilbert? (Okay, maybe not. Still too soon!). But if it is really well done, then sure.
So, Will We Get More?
Honestly, who knows? The creators are being tight-lipped. Fan theories abound, of course.
Ultimately, it's up to them. But maybe, just maybe, the most beautiful thing we can do is appreciate what we already have. And rewatch the original series for the 10th time.
Regardless of whether or not we get a season 2, Violet Evergarden will forever hold a special place in our hearts. Now, if you'll excuse me, I think I have something in my eye...
