Personally, cautious anticipation. That trailer was absolutely gorgeous, and the material looks like it could be something a bit more mature in the veins of Hyouka. (Hah, I know, we said that for KnK as well.)
Here's a bit of extra synopsis on
the anime website that I didn't see in the OP (translated by anon):
Quote:

Violet Evergarden is an "Auto Memories Doll," a robot made to help those who cannot write put their thoughts on paper. Throughout her life, Violet meets many people and connects many hearts together through their letters to one another. Though her time with each person is short, the bonds formed during her time with them will not easily be forgotten.

This makes it sound like an episodic fantasy series, sort of like how Kino's Journey is structured.
