My thoughtsI used to rank E7 higher than E9, but upon further introspection, I now agree with the article. The "Believe In" segment towards the end E9 is so powerful. E7 continues to be the most visually-stunning, only beaten by some of the best of Cloverworks and KyoAni's other stuff.

E12 and 13 are the lowest. It felt like they're "contractually-obligated" episodes that would not exist if the series is a wholly-KyoAni original.

E10 is as close to a perfect standalone episode I can find. It's not just the best episode of Violet Evergarden, but the best of any anime, period.

Episode 10 might be my single favorite episode of any show. Even when you know what's coming, it hits so damn hard.
