Kyoto Animation's "Violet Evergarden" new movie is scheduled to be released in April 2020

Kyoto Animation announced on the evening of November 9 that the new animated theatrical version of "Violet Evergarden" will be released on April 24, 2020. The film has been delayed to next year due to the arson incident, so stay tuned.

Violet Evergarden is a light novel written by Kana Akatsuki and illustrated by Akiko Takase, published by Kyoto Animation's KA ESUMA Bunko. It is also the winner of the 5th Kyoto Animation Award. The work tells a series of tear-jerking yet healing stories about Violet Evergarden during her post-war ghostwriting work.

The theme of the new animated theatrical version of "Violet Evergarden" is "The last letter should be sent to the one you love deeply." Judging from the content of the special video released this time, the heroine Violet Evergarden has embarked on a new ghostwriting journey, and the amber memories may never fade.

The animated film was originally scheduled to be released in Japan on January 10, 2020. The official announcement was that the release was postponed due to the accident.
