Idk about you but I hope that the movie is the conclusion to the anime series.
The novel was weird like Violet and Gilbert loving each other and stuff and it is just weird because isnt Violet only like 15 or something?

Also, the ending even though she got what she wanted, it still didnt feel like a truly happy ending for some reason and I want it that way like how the anime ended with Violet moving on.

Ive gotta agree with u... the movie was a beautiful way to end things in terms of showing how much Violet achieved during her career and life time. Gil x Violet r creepy fr, i know it contextually makes sense since it’s set post world war but i rlly dont want to see their love life etc LMAO.. if they were to release a special or another movie i hope it’d be on a similar timeline as the series or first film ^__^

They are happy now let them be! You might wanna read the LN. They are a little better imo. Also their relationship in LN's is explained properly. Yes the age gap is big but the way it was executed was done very well. Not all romances are passed on with a green flag. It was a different time and era so I tend to not put my now “morals” in fiction. They are happy and that makes me happy!

I rest my case[/spoiler]

Yes, it is due to lack of knowledge of LNs anachronistic timeline and also your post was good spoiler.

If hes alive then he feels like manipulator, pulling strings in LN as per what you said, but hes even bigger loser in movie, as per what you said.

I am, among ppl, who would think; gilbert being alive shits on the whole premise of anime. Not have read the ln or manga, as anime only watcher [movie not included] it would simply ruin the show.

And as per your spoiler explanation, the actual movie or ln content, done r anime straight chronology will make anyone fell that too.

I just finished the shows today.

And have decided not to watch the movie ever.

As far as I am concerned, gilberts dead. violet could have met anyone, including a lil more grown up ann at the end and smiled.

Thank you.

The logic of "only first volume is cannon because it won award" baffled me. I mean, this movie is also an award-winning work too?

Thanks for this extended exposition and I agree that the anime seems to have done a lot of things wrong, for some unknown reason. I guess I will read the LN now ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Btw, I don't agree at all with the logic of the latter parts being fan-service, just because some people somehow inferred that from the fact that the first part won an award.
Besides, I never heard of a case where like the latter half of a story is fan service and "non-canon". Brief spin-offs sure, but this is definitely not it....

I could never understand that train of thought. If she progressed as a person then she would not revert back. Unless if it was fake progress or something. Besides, it is quite clear that she would never be truly happy without Gilbert. Their separation was so abrupt and without any closure that she would basically always love him.
That being said, it's also the anime's fault for putting huge emphasis on the parts until Gilbert's reveal. In the LN they weren't that long relative to the parts after he showed up and the story continues for a long time after.

Also, if you would have watched the movie, you would know that Gilbert didn't reveal the fact that he survived exactly because he felt like he manipulated her to be part of the war and he blames himself.

Which I didnt and I wont. but she was just a rando picked by the older borther off some battle, and given to him as a gift. as a weapon.

why would he balme himslef and think -he manipulated her to be part of the war- when she as already a part of a war even before he met her?

Your loss, I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Let's just say that there are reasons for him, and leave it at that.

I really have to thank you for this explanation. Feels like I lifted off a huge load from my shoulder. Definitely, I felt a bit lonely for that abstract ending of the movie. Sure, there are suggestions but they aren't enough to give a satisfactory conclusion where one of the major premises of the anime is its visuals. I'll buy the LNs and read them. Glad to know it has the balanced conclusion.

I’m the movie when she meets Gilbert again it says she quit the postal service when she was 18. Gilbert wouldn’t been about in his mid to late 20s. Don’t forget, the era the story is based, ppl enrolled to the army at a very young age. I think that guy who has a pin in the movie implied to be her son?
