* BrokenBase: While the animation is agreed to be nothing less than stellar, many viewers complain about the show's episodic nature, with many characters being introduced and fleshed out, only to never be seen or mentioned again. This is largely because the source light novel is a compilation of short stories, featuring the clients as the protagonists of each rather than Violet herself (with a few exceptions). That said, many of the recurring characters like Claudia Hodgins and his employees are still largely ignored, leaving viewers of the anime little idea about them even 8 episodes in. So far, the worst offender is episode 6: if you only care about the overarching story of Violet and the war, you can skip episode 6 without missing anything.

** In episodes 1-7 of the Anime, lots of work is put into making even irrelevant background characters look unique. In the flashbacks in episode 8, however, all the soldiers look alike, except Violet, Gilbert and Hodgins (the only two soldiers to actually treat her like a human being). At first, this seems a bit jarring, considering the level of detail put into the previous episodes, but it makes perfect sense, since Violet only cared about Gilbert and the flashback is Violet thinking back on the war. In other words, the reason the soldiers all look the same is that, to her, they were all just the same.

** Not much is known about Violet Evergarden, aside from the fact that she possesses ridiculous physical strength, well beyond that of a normal human being. This could be handwaved as being due to her prosthetics, but even if that was the case, lifting another person or a heavy suitcase would still put a lot of strain on her back and shoulder, and wearing high heels while carrying said suitcase would only cause even more trouble. However, in chapter 10, "The Demigod and the Auto-Memories Doll", a cult claims that the gods are real, and that demigods exist, who are supposedly children of said gods and normal humans. Demigods supposedly possess certain qualities that exceed that of normal humans, such as extreme intelligence or charisma. Considering Violet's mysterious past, her ridiculous strength and her appearance constantly being described as angelic or mature beyond her years, and the fact that both Violet, Lady Lux and Sister Lisbon all agree that Violet looks completely like the goddess of war, Garnet Spear, it is not unlikely that the cultists are actually right, and that Violet is actually a demigod.
