The second episode of Violet Evergarden has the same technical excellence as first one, featuring gorgeous animations, a subtle yet fitting soundtrack, fantastic direction, and a solid storyboard.
The plot itself slowly expands, properly introducing a few new characters. As is typical for shows of this type, only a few hints of Violet's mysterious past are revealed, while the overarching plot develops fairly slowly.
It's still too early to say much about the story or the characters, though what I've experienced so far I find very compelling. I'm eagerly looking forward to watching the next episodes.
While I've already come to like the characters quite a lot already and enjoy the thoughtful atmosphere of the series, I wouldn't mind if the plot advanced slightly faster. I'd hesitate to call this a filler episode, however; with how story-focused Violet Evergarden is, I doubt that there even are filler episodes.
