Okay okay... I'm not completely sure how I feel about this one.
When I first was this fantastic and heart wrenching anime I was thinking... He totally loved her right? As in... Romantically. The more I think about it though the less I feel that way. Not only the age gap (Which isn't a huge deal in this instance since in an episode in the series, a girl Violets age or younger marries someone older than her) but also the fact that when he first meets her, she has no personality. She is practically lifeless, barely human. Even by the end of the war... She still has issues. I'm not sure how he could romantically love her in that state.
They completely elude to it though! Especially in the scene with the Leon when they are talking about how being lonely feels and he starts thinking how she must love the guy she is talking about, but his thought is cut off.
It may be true that Violet loves him, but I personally beileve Gilbert loves her more as... A daughter? I really can't see it romantically. They are coming out with a movie, if it is somehow revealed that I'm wrong, I'm not completely opposed to the idea. I just dont see it right now.
