Every Episode of Violet Evergarden, Ranked (www.cbr.com)

Ranking from Lowest to Highest

My thoughts

I 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.

We all knew which episode would rank first, eh?

The death of a mother always hits the hardest.

meta spoiler; multiple anime titles

I'd say it's the same reason for Oshi no Ko episode 1 and Dan Da Dan episode 7 being as acclaimed as they are.

I would rank episode 3 (much) higher, otherwise I pretty much agree with that list.

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