“Riviere and the Land of Prayer” official synopsis from Yen Press: “Welcome to the island nation of Cururunelvia, the land of prayer—a mysterious place where magic has been sealed away! Here, strange objects known as “sancta” possess the power to make prayers come true. A red-haired beauty by the name of Riviere runs a shop that specializes in dealing with dangerous sancta such as fate-changing perfume, a talking vase, a bag of living puffballs, and more. And she isn't alone! With the help of her enthusiastic assistant, MacMillia, and everyone's favorite Wandering Witch, Riviere aims to rehome these arcane antiques while turning a profit!”

“Winter was once the only season in the world-but such an existence was too lonely to bear, and so it created Spring to love. Before long, the earth wished for more time to rest in the cycle, and Summer and Autumn were born. The ones who carry the cycle are called the Agents of the Four Seasons. Hinagiku, the Agent of Spring, disappeared from this land ten years ago, taking the season of spring with her. Now, after incredible hardship, she has returned to restore the cycle to its proper state-and, as in the myth passed down since the dawn of time, she sends her love to Winter.” (Yen Press)

One of the perennial problems facing soldiers in the aftermath of conflict, as it faces prisoners after release, is the difficulty in separating oneself from the mechanics of institutionalisation and recognising oneself as a discrete human being, possessed of one's own will and pf the right to use it. In this multi-layered animé tale based on the books by Kana Akatsuki, director Taichi Ishidate explores this struggle and its particular relevance to postwar Japan through the story of a young woman who, having lost her hands in the conflict, elects to surrender her voice and use her talents to make memories for others in lieu of creating her own.
Violent (voiced by the highly capable Yui Ishikawa - there is thankfully no English dub) is a 'doll', a writer who produces eloquent letters on behalf of others. She helps them to express their feelings, to win the hearts of those they.

Based on the highly successful series of light novels written by Kana Akatsuki and illustrated by Akiko Takase, Haruka Fujita’s anime tells a side-story to the anime series which is currently screening on Netflix. In interviews, the director, who is also involved in the series, states how it was the tone of the novels along with the character of Violet Evergarden that inspired him to take on the project. Even though the character seems emotionless at some points, there are, especially when drawing her, multiple layers to be uncovered, making her a character you can “open up to”, as Fujita explains. For those unfamiliar with the series, “Violet Evergarden: Eternity and the Auto Memory Doll” does not heavily rely on any knowledge of the series or indeed the novel, as its blend of fairy tale motives, drama and period piece will draw any viewer rapidly into the world the film has to offer.
