There is no doubt that the animation of "Violet Evergarden" has become the white moonlight in the hearts of countless fans.
However, we won't talk about the excellence of this animation in this issue, but let's talk about an interesting fact about this animation, do you know why "Violet Evergarden" is called "Violet Evergarden"?
Violet Evergarden animation
In 2009, Kyoto Animation's "Haruhi Suzumiya" and "Girl with a Light Voice" were in full swing, and in October of the same year, Kyoto Animation established the "Kyoto Animation Award" and began to solicit excellent works from the public.
And the "Violet Evergarden" novel is the "Kyoto Animation Awards" 2014 top work, and this work is also the first orthodox award since the "Kyoto Animation Awards" was set, to put it simply, you can understand it as the "first prize".
Historically, the Kyoto Anime Awards have been divided into "Grand Prize", "Special Award", and "Encouragement Award", and this award was vacant for the first four editions of the "Violet Evergarden" novel work.
It can also be seen from this that Kyoto Animation is strict about the quality of the works when selecting them.
And "Violet Evergarden", which was favored by Kyoto Animation, was officially announced to be animated in May 2016, just a PV animation announcement, which directly amazed countless otaku.
However, all the beauty also stems from this initial PV.
Misunderstandings caused by wrong translations!
In fact, before the animation "Violet Evergarden" entered the domestic market, it was not called this name, and the Japanese text of the novel was "ヴァイオレット・エヴァーガーデン", and the English translation was "Violet Evergarden".
However, when the animation PV was released and uploaded to Xiaopo Station by some netizens, our domestic folk sinicization group also began to translate.
Because the PV at that time didn't see any useful information except for the exquisite art style, only when the envelope at the end was flying, a line of "Violet evergarden" appeared in the middle.
Maybe the Sinicization group at that time didn't know either.,It's a character name.,Just go and translate this string of English literally.。
"Violet" means "violet" in English, and "ever" means "always, always", so it is translated as "eternal", and the word "garden" is believed to have been touched by many people, which means "garden".
The name "Violet Evergarden" came from this, coupled with the aesthetic painting style of the PV announced at that time, there were indeed some scenes such as flowers and plants, and everyone also felt that this name was appropriate for the occasion, so they began to use this name.
And this kind of scene lasted until the animation officially started, and countless mansions began to be circled, saying that it was okay "Violet", and what about saying "Garden", you just want to stab me!
In the end, everyone learned that Violet Evergarden is the name of the heroine, and the official Chinese translation should be "Violet Teuvegarden".
However, this mistranslation has also created the most beautiful name, as the plot of "Violet Evergarden" continues to advance, Wei Mei continues to travel around the world to send emotional letters in order to seek the "meaning of love".
Isn't Wei Mei's dedication and pursuit of love a kind of eternity? And the flower language of violet also has "eternal love and simplicity", this kind of artistic conception, this kind of charm, is simply unintentionally hit the king bomb.
So everyone accepted the name directly from the emotional point of view.
epilogue
Of course, we don't need to investigate this matter too much if it is like the rumors, but "Violet Evergarden" must be the most beautiful name!
