Will We Ever See Violet Evergarden Season 2?

Don't miss

Violet Evergarden is a beautiful anime series that explores the themes of love, loss, and healing through the eyes of a former child soldier who becomes an Auto Memory Doll, a professional letter writer. The first season of the anime, based on the light novels by Kana Akatsuki, aired in 2018 and received critical acclaim for its stunning animation, emotional storytelling, and memorable characters. Fans have been eagerly waiting for a second season of Violet Evergarden, but what is the current status of the project? Here is everything we know so far.

The first season of Violet Evergarden ended with a cliffhanger that left many viewers wondering about the fate of Gilbert Bougainvillea, Violet’s former commander and love interest, who was presumed dead after the war. However, a special episode released in 2019 revealed that Gilbert was alive and hiding in a remote island, while a movie sequel released in 2020 showed Violet finally reuniting with him. The movie also concluded the main story arc of the light novels, leaving fans curious about what a second season could cover.

While there has been no official announcement of a second season of Violet Evergarden, there is still some hope for more content from the franchise. The light novels have a spin-off series called Violet Evergarden Gaiden, which consists of six side stories that explore different aspects of Violet’s life and work as an Auto Memory Doll. These stories could potentially be adapted into a new season or a series of OVAs (original video animations). Additionally, there is also an upcoming light novel called Violet Evergarden Ever After, which will serve as an epilogue to the main story and focus on Violet’s future after meeting Gilbert again. This novel could also be a source of inspiration for a new anime adaptation.

However, even if there is enough material for a second season of Violet Evergarden, there are some challenges that could delay or prevent its production. One of them is the tragic arson attack that occurred at Kyoto Animation, the studio behind the anime, in 2019. The attack claimed the lives of 36 people and injured many others, including some of the staff members who worked on Violet Evergarden. The studio has been slowly recovering from the tragedy and resuming its projects, but it is understandable that they might need more time and resources to create a new season of such a high-quality anime. Another challenge is the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which has affected the anime industry in general and caused many delays and cancellations.

Therefore, it is hard to predict when or if a second season of Violet Evergarden will be released. The best we can do as fans is to support Kyoto Animation and hope that they will continue to create more amazing anime in the future. In the meantime, we can enjoy rewatching the first season, the special episode, and the movie sequel of Violet Evergarden on Netflix, as well as reading the light novels and their spin-offs.
