Initially, the DVD and Blu-ray sets were scheduled to be released on August 4. But due to Japan’s state of emergency, there has been a delay in manufacturing of the discs. The website also issued an apology and thanked the fans for their continued support.

Along with the normal versions of the discs, a special edition Blu-ray will also be shipped. The website revealed that the distributors had received many orders and will do their best to deliver the products in time. 

The anime film has been delayed twice, first due to the Kyoto Animation arson attack and later due to the coronavirus pandemic. Finally, it was released in September last year. It performed remarkably well in the Japanese box office, ranking at number 2 in its opening weekend. 

The film’s story follows Daisy, who follows the legend of Violet Evergarden through various letters, historical places, and locations prevalent to the Memory Doll. With Dolly and Claudia’s help, Violet is finally reunited with Gilbert, her lover, presumed to be dead. The film teaches us a valuable life lesson- to take care of our loved ones in difficult times! 

We hope that the film distributors can release the discs on the rescheduled date without any further problems so that the fans can finally get to enjoy the film at their homes!
