On a certain continent, in a certain era. The war that divided the continent between North and South ended, and the world gradually moved towards peace. Violet Evergarden, who had fought as a soldier during the war, left the army and arrived in a large port city. Embracing the words of someone who meant more to her than anyone else on the battlefield— The streets were bustling with activity, and trams crisscrossed the gas-lit streets. Violet worked as a "letter writer" at Lieutenant Colonel Hawkins's company. This meant crafting words tailored to the client's wishes. She faced her clients directly, touching their innermost, honest emotions. Meanwhile, as she recorded the letters, Violet gradually grasped the true meaning of Major Gilbert's words to her that day.

For most viewers, release order is the recommended way to watch Violet Evergarden. This is how the story was crafted and revealed to audiences — earlier films seed details, callbacks, and twists that pay off in later entries. Watching in release order preserves those reveals and matches the pacing the filmmakers intended.
Violet Evergarden largely tracks its own in-universe chronology, so release order and chronological order overlap closely. You can use either without losing much, though release order is still the safest first watch.
