Oricon reported on Thursday that Kyoto Animation’s Violet Evergarden: The Movie anime film will open in Japan on September 18.
The announcement reportedly appeared in a television commercial that aired after a re-airing of the final episode of the Violet Evergarden television anime on Thursday.
Kyoto Animation’s television anime adaptation of author Kana Akatsuki and illustrator Akiko Takase’s Violet Evergarden novels premiered on television in Japan and on Netflix in some territories in January 2018.
The franchise’s separate side-story anime, titled Violet Evergarden: Eternity and the Auto Memories Doll (Violet Evergarden Gaiden: Eien to Jidō Shuki Ningyō), opened in theaters in Japan last September, and it screened for at least five weeks.
