(UPDATE: While we know many are excited for the series, we have updated the article after digging a bit deeper into the matter when we published this post. More territories have cropped up with the airing date notice but for now we are noting it down as a ‘unconfirmed' for the time being. We have approached Netflix for further clarification on the matter.)

One of the many titles coming exclusively through Netflix, it has been revealed that the latest Kyoto Animation series Violet Evergarden might be available sooner than we had anticipated.

While slated for Spring 2018 outside Japan, the series has been listed for 11th January around the same time as the Japanese broadcast airing date. Assuming this is going as planned it is expected to be a weekly simulcast just like a fair amount of other titles that Netflix have done in the past, most notably Star Trek Discovery for the UK & Ireland.

So far the United Kingdom, Ireland, France, Germany and Brazil have the series listed for 11th January while United States and Canada apparently do not.

The show page is available which you can view here.

A certain point in time, in the continent of Telesis. The great war which divided the continent into North and South has ended after four years, and the people are welcoming a new generation. Violet Evergarden, a young girl formerly known as “the weapon”, has left the battlefield to start a new life at CH Postal Service. There, she is deeply moved by the work of “Auto Memories Dolls”, who carry people’s thoughts and convert them into words. Violet begins her journey as an Auto Memories Doll, and comes face to face with various people’s emotions and differing shapes of love.

There are words Violet heard on the battlefield, which she cannot forget. These words were given to her by someone she holds dear, more than anyone else. She does not yet know their meaning but she searches to find it.

So I decided to keep an eye on the show page at least every day, and now it's been updated with not only a new 'more presentable' background but even an English subtitled trailer!

I can add to my list (on the phone app) just like I have with Children of the Whales (which hasn't even got a trailer :() but neither actually show up on the list as I guess because their are no videos to watch yet.
