The core of the story is a slow-burn theme of healing from trauma-chiefly via helping *others* to heal (i.e., "living life" vs. Wartime flashbacks excepted, it's universally lush, colorful, detailed, beautiful, and heavily floral (there are big flower themes going on throughout, on a per-character and per-episode basis you will miss a bit if you don't know your flower names). and at that point, I think it probably does earn it all. However: if you take it as the full animation medium, not as a prose story, you have to factor in the artwork. And I would also argue the plot and writing aren't *quite* good enough to "earn" the emotion it's trying to elicit. It's not perfect-there are not exactly "plot holes," but there are some implausibilities-starting with Violet's prosthetics-that have to be overlooked or forgiven.

Overall, some of the more emotionally intense scenes may be too much for younger or more sensitive viewers. In a flashback scene, Violet loses her arms while trying to rescue Gilbert during a battle in which they end up separated. Some war violence, including a flashback scene in which a soldier is shot in the eye and killed, with some blood.
In one of the side stories, a tween boy is dying in bed, and has hired Violet (who, after the war, works as an in-demand letter writer for those who cannot express their feelings) to help him express his love for his uncle and best friend while also using the letters to make amends for the times he was mean to them. This is a romantic "tearjerker" movie, and not only due to Violet and Gilbert. Here Violet learns that the man who mentored her is still alive and she must confront her true feelings for him. Parents need to know that Violet Evergarden: The Movie is a 2021 anime based on the novel and anime series.
