I know it's been a year, but I just binged through your reactions to this show. The movie is...I don't know what to say about it. It's good - it's a great movie on its own and it does wrap up the show very well. But...I read the light novels and the whole story has some major differences, so the movie irritates me in that it's completely "anime only" and so some parts are weakly handled, IMO. It has to be, because of the changes they made to the main story but still...urgh. In the books, only Violet is told Gilbert died (his request to Hodgins), and she never really believed it. Meanwhile, Gilbert's off doing military stuff to gain ranks to protect Violet from being used as a weapon ever again - no one will be able to order him to do anything regarding Violet once his rank is high enough. They meet up again during the train battle with the Gardarik renegades and from that point forward, they are kind of dating - awkwardly, lol. But, since the show decided to portray Gilbert as 1) dead and 2) more "fatherly" toward her - the movie's romance rubs a lot of people the wrong way because they convinced themselves it was all wholesome and parental. But no - he loved her and was *in love* with her even when she was 14 (though her real age isn't known). And everyone gets mad at movie-Gilbert for...suffering extreme PTSD, not just for his own experiences in the war, but for what he witnessed Violet doing and suffering by staying at his side. That plotline for him is just too rushed and not developed well enough for anyone to cut him some slack. Book Gilbert has none of that - he's a ruthless, driven Army officer who does what he has to do to keep himself and Violet alive. And Violet is less sentimental, so they make a good pair but not sweet or adorable or whatever. Heck, did you ever see the final image after all the credits? The pinky swear? You should look it up, if you didn't see it.
