The official Twitter account for the Violet Evergarden anime confirmed on Thursday that a new work has been green-lit.
The wraparound jacket band for the Violet Evergarden Gaiden (side story) novel revealed on March 23 that the franchise has a “new project in progress.”
Author Kana Akatsuki and illustrator Akiko Takase’s Violet Evergarden novel won the grand prize in the fifth Kyoto Animation Award program’s novel category in 2014.
The announcement lists the project as a “completely new” work for the anime.
