Violet Evergarden Season 1 Episode 10 'I Love You' aired March 15, 2018 on Netflix. The series holds an IMDb audience rating of 8.4; ANN's Nick Creamer awarded the series an A grade. ANN's episode-specific review called this 'one of the best stories in the series, the best example of how letter-writing can change a person's life.' The episode became the series' most discussed hour online: a terminally ill mother asks Violet to write letters to her daughter for every birthday the child will have without her. The concept is simple; Kyoto Animation's execution is not. The episode's restraint - the letters never read aloud, the mother's voice unheard by the daughter, the grief communicated entirely through the daughter reading words written in her mother's absence - produced the scene that broke audiences worldwide and confirmed the series' standing as Kyoto Animation's character-craft peak. The 9.8 bollymeter is the series' highest individual episode score.
