The official website for Kyoto Animation’s Violet Evergarden: The Movie anime film project revealed on Monday that Kyoto Animation has postponed the film’s opening in Japan due to concerns over the new coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
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.
The anime launched on Netflix in the United States in April 2018.
