Every time I watch a video about A Silent Voice, it is about something different. How somebody saw it as a different story. Some saw the beauty in the music and the meaning behind it, some saw the beauty in friends. There are many many ways this show has been explained, and that is one of the most beautiful parts of this show.
This is my favorite anime film. It came out at a time in my life where I really needed the message this story conveyed. I later picked up the manga and it's my favorite series to date. I still cry every time I watch A Silent Voice. Great video!
I deal with social anxiety and depression a lot through my life. When i watched this movie, it was when i was going through a really tough time. Instantly I was able to place myself in Shoka’s shoes and understand what he was going through. Even at the very beginning, in which i saw Shoka’s thoughts of suicide, i could relate because, quite unfortunately, I’ve had those thoughts before. The way the movie depicted social anxiety was amazing, and accurately described what my mind does. A lot of times in social situations, i tend to fiddle with my hands and avoid eye contact with the person im talking to (often to the point of not wanting to upset them and focusing on some of their facial features. This has been my all time favorite anime movie for a long time. Ever since quarantine started in my state, i decided to try and read the manga. I was able to finish it three days ago and it was... beautiful. It dives more into each individual character and fleshes them out so well. Personally, I still didn’t like Naoka, but like you said, i was able to understand her actions. P.s. sorry for the long comment. I guess i had a lot to say lol
I don't blame you for the long comment. I think a lot of people would be in your same shoes dealing with stress, bullying, and everything else. This movie really does have a lot to say, and I have read the manga which is more tearjerking in my opinion.
There's no need for an apology if you're talking about yourself, especially on a topic that's tough for most people lives. Im struggling with social anxiety and your comment made me feel that Im not alone on this. It's even hard for me to share something like this to my closest of friends, so thank you for sharing
I am dealing with those kinds of problems too, and I think it's quite nice to be able to express your feelings one way or another. Sometimes, when I'm down terribly bad, I write something on my computer and leave it in a folder like it's a personal journal, and it kinda helps me a bit. So speaking in a RUclips comment section can help too !
I’m pretty sure Shoya is the reason that Shouko lost her hearing in her right ear. Remember when he ripped out her hearing aids and her right ear started bleeding? I think that made her hearing significantly worse and probably deteriorated it more over time. They wouldn’t have both the movie and Shoya focus on it if it wasn’t relevant. I think it’s a great metaphor for the movie: some damage is permanent, and you have to learn to live with it, own up to it, and eventually accept it.
I have a friend that is deaf, and also I have a speech problem. I stutter alot, and it makes me frustrated and sad when I can't get out what I want to say. I've gotten better throughout the years, I used to stutter as bad as that South Park character when I was in school. I was also bullied because of it in school.
Forgive me if I'm rude, but I'm a bit curious, I think I've never really talked with someone who stutters. If you don't want to, feel free to ignore my questions. ^^ Where's the stuttering coming from? Is the mouth slower than the brain, or is it a general problem to communicate your thoughts? Do you also 'stutter' when using sign language with your friend or is it solely verbal? Is it connected to nervousness? If so, does the stutter completely fade away when you feel comfortable, or does it just ease up on you, but is still very much there? Again, sorry if I make you uncomfortable by putting you kinda on the spot, I'm just genuinely curious and am trying to empathize better with all sorts of people. ^^
@@Erigalus The stuttering comes from my mouth is slower than my brain you could say. I stammer on a word, and I can't get the word out. I keep repeating the beginning of the word, and I just wind up saying a different word with no stutter. I don't sign with my friend, but my ex does sign with him. When I was in school I used to stutter a whole lot more than I do now. Just think about the kid in South Park that stutters and that was me.
Seeing Shoya distancing himself, unable face people is like watching myself on screen. I tear up everytime I watch the final 20 minutes. Also Shouko's voice acting is just perfect
One of if not the favorite of my anime. The director is the same one who directed K-ON and it shows in the high quality. The English dub is actually very good and the voice actress for Shouko does an amazing job.
My favorite scene in this movie is when after Shoya falls, he leaves the hospital and finds Shoko and he apologizes for everything and asks her to teach him how to live, it was such a great scene.
Not too good with communication. So watching anime since I was 3 helped me communicate with the world. And this is a touching full circle story to that. Connecting with the two main leads mostly and Daria from a different hard-to-connect-with-people-story saw reflections to my life that I’d love to see more of.
I’m deaf in my right ear, and it’s been a focal point for bullying and my own self hatred for quite a long time until recently. When this masterpiece was announced, I immediately thought to myself “I need to watch this. Finally, a piece of film that understands me” and now it’s my #1 favorite movie. Words cannot express how much I grew to love A Silent Voice
The X's on faces was a striking visualization of a form of mental block that I have experienced a few times in the past (for very different reasons than the one in this movie). It was surreal to see it visualized like that
I've been struggling with suicidal thoughts for many years now. I was bullied most throughout my school years, I tried telling my mom and she never understood. It's almost like she was scared because she doesn't know what it means. I watched this movie one day and when I finished I felt so loved. I can't fully explain it but I felt like I wasn't alone. I felt understood. I'm now learning sign language and my dream is to become a teacher for the hearing impaired, and to teach people sign language. I'm not yet 18, but I know what my future will look like. Also, soon after I watched this movie, I found God and that helped me. So I truly need to thank the creator of this movie.
The English dub is great, my only problem with it is it's actually possible to understand what she's saying, which for a couple scenes in particular feels weird, the characters act like they have no idea what she's saying even though it sounds so clear to me.
Nine times out of ten, if you are watching a dub and thinking the story doesn't make sense, it's because you're watching a dub. They are notoriously awful at capturing what is actually being said.
@@angharad256 yeah. But sometimes the dubs can get a better translation than "cheap" subs. In this movie, most "official" subs don't "translate" the meaning behind Shoko's "weird" pronunciations and that makes most people thing "what's wrong with Shouta, why doesn't he understand her?"
This movie really taught me to appreciate the people I have around me before I lose them for good. It also told me how badly words can affect somebody and that finding happiness is a goal that takes a while to achieve. It is now one of my favorite movies, ever. 10/10
Ya, this helped me through one of my worst lows and I love the film because it’s relatable in a way people cannot describe and it shows you people can grow and be better
This movie inspired me to learn ASL. I cried so hard when Shouko was being bullied and when she tried to kill herself. I never want anyone to feel like Shouko felt like so I'm learning sign language so I can reach out to the people who aren't heard.
I seen it as, He learned her “language” to understand how she felt. You act out when you can’t understand someone, but you connect when you understand.
Wanted to note that in most psychological studies, there's no link between bullies and low self-esteem. That being said, this was a great look at a wonderful movie. So many touching moments and what it means to be human.
The first time I heard shouko speak I was mesmerized by the acting and just how I felt so suddenly moved by her voice and I am impressed and in love with this movie.
As someone who used to deal with a bad stutter, the trick is when it starts happening simply catch your breath and start talking slower at the start. That way you work your way up to normal speed dialogue rather than fumbling over your words. It takes practice and embarrassment but it does work. Best of luck man!
I felt like I was watching myself on the screen after watching a silent voice 2 weeks ago. I was a bully and was bullied in grade school. Grew up losing friends, lacked communication skills and developed anxiety when I'm out in public. Some times I feel its hopeless but the movie gave me hope there is always a capacity to learn and grow from the past and we as people can change for the better.
I'm still in the same place as Shoya was in the first half of the film right now, and let me tell you.. it sucks. My parents have decided to send me and my siblings back to school next month, all because they've gotten bad grades and my parents say like everyone else says, "it's gonna be good for your mental health". I've pleaded with my parents to not let me go as I've gotten better with my grades yet they refuse to let me stay home. Honestly I haven't told them about my mental state, but basically I've never been happier than my time away from school. I mean of course i haven't been 100% but the anxieties of even just walking in school are gone. I just really don't wanna go back or at least delay it for as long as possible. Sorry I've spewed all this out here but I have no one else to tell all of this. Thanks for reading
All I can really say is I wish you all the best, keep your head up high and trust me in time things get better. Focus on what makes you happy and do your best to shrug off the negativity and once you reach that great stage in your life you'll forget the bad that came before.
"The Silent Voice Effect" is a great name for the feeling this movie gives you. I felt this feeling after reading the manga and watching the movie also.
This movie is so much better than your name in my opinion. (No hate to anyone that really likes that movie, but this one just spoke to me, whereas your name I was left feeling kind of confused and unsatisfied. Enjoyed both movies, but A Silent Voice just gave me everything I could ever want in a movie, no seriously there is only one or two movies that I hold in higher regard and that’s saying a lot.)
I can relate to this movie, i can relate to shoya and it helped me a lot, taught me many things.. Thank you for describing it and digging into it deeply
This movie was simply the best film I’ve ever seen, I empathised with shoyo and how he viewed his “friends”at school, I did feel the ‘silent voice effect’
I've had this movie on my list for over a year...finally watched it a couple days ago. I've watched it every night since. Fantastic review, I think it connects with people because like you said it shows the highs & lows of humanity. Really glad this film was made
I remember hating anime ever since I was a kid until I watched the Movie back in 2020, it opened my eyes and amazed me I absolutely adore A Silent Voice. I will never blindly judge things anymore.
The 2016 Animated Movie A Silence Voice really means to me is:Bullying,Despair,by helping others,to learn to forgive one another and to bring hope with happiness from one another.
Thank for your review as alway. It didnt impact me as deeply as yours but I also share the love for this piece of art. I love how the author takkle this matter excellently. The anime adaptation is a very definition of " showing rather than telling the story".
This was an amazing video !! It encapsulates so many of my thoughts and feelings so well, I truly relate to what you say :) This is my favourite film of all time. It sounds melodramatic but it saved my life, and I feel like it is a film that massively helps tonnes of people who are struggling with life. This film was the first anime I ever watched and it drove me to watch more and despite the fact that I am yet to find anything that makes me feel the way this film does I am happy with the amount of other shows I have found and loved because of this film. If anyone hasn't seen this film yet I highly suggest you give it a watch because it's a very real and down to earth film that highlights both the positives and negatives of life. And of course, if you are someone who is struggling then get help, even if it's just a word with a friend. Getting help doesn't make you weak, learning to live is what makes you strong. I wish everyone the best and stay safe !!
A Silent Voice is really inspiring to read or watch, Manga or Anime wise. I have read the manga and it's One-Shot version way back when it was still serializing in Weekly Shonen Magazine owned by Kodansha. Then when I heard it was getting a anime adaptation, I felt excited and dreadful because how emotional it is and how impactful it is. It is a great movie and while I personally think the manga is better than the movie, they are both really great in their own way, just how they both give awareness to many real problems that real people face.
The manga was a great manga when I first read it and then re-read again before the movie first premiered in Japan. After watching the movie. It was really something behold.
This was an incredible analysis of the movie, analysis of techniques used and the purpose and effect behind them was done in a thoughtful and entertaining way and the talk of your own experiences was incredibly insightful. This video and your channel deserve far more hype. :)
The ending of this film is perfect (no happily-ever-after wedding scene) just having the characters have a moment of clarity was better. This would be a great film to show kids in school.
I watched both english and Japanese and honestly i started off like woah this is weird to damn i love her voice and i mean it was quick i loved both dub and sub like even tho it sounded odd i cant help but say its amazing cause it must be scary to talk and not hear ur own voice and many might see u like some weirdo when ur just as human i love shokos voice i recently rewatched the movie and i loved it even morr
I love how shoya is such a lil prick in the first like 25 miniutes but I find him such a likeable and relatable person whom I can't bring myself to hate. I think the movie played its cards right in showing shoya as an adult before he was I child so we can relate to him first instead of initially hating him and never forgiving him.
The depiction of Social anxiety made me relate so much. I look at the ground all the time and whenever I ever talk to someone, I look everywhere but their eyes. Whenever I talk, I say the wrong things and it makes me sound a bit rude but really Its not what I really mean. I just don't know the words or the right way to say things cause my social skills aren't there. I don't know how to end a conversation.
It's funny... you say in the beginning the viewer wants bad things to happen to Yasho, because he's bullying a poor deaf girl. But I never grew hateful of him. You could see it in his eyes and body language; he was picking on her not cause he felt malicious.. *he was just confused* There's a panel in the manga.. where when Shoko is introducing herself to the class and writes that she's deaf.... To Shoya it feels like she's an alien (She's literally drawn on a planet outside Earth) (I'm sure you noticed coz you read the manga :) Shoya was just confused and frustrated... I'm not justifying what he did was right, yes, it was horrible... but his intentions felt different than Shimada, Ueno and Kawai.
I cried. I never cried. I cried 6 times through the whole movie. Last time i cried from a movies was bunny girl senpai movie when the car accident. And Sasha in aot but this was too much on my heart i felt it heavy on my Chest making me almost puke.
Two things. #1 This video made me cry. Well done. #2 I heard KyoAni got deaf girls for both versions. Bonus, for that unnamed emotion, I'll bet the Germans have a word for it. They have a word for everything.
My only wish was if I get to see the two get together. Though the movie not going full romance adds a unique feature to the film, it should have a sequel, to me personally. At this point (not that I’m keeping track) not a single movie has made me cry ever. But this film definitely takes the cake for being the closest to it. You genuinely feel sad for this poor and innocent little girl. She’s only trying to make friends but gets dirt thrown in her face and her only form of simple communication thrown in a pond. That part alone nearly brought me to tears. And to see this boy who, so mercilessly, bullied her in 6th grade become Shouko’s best friend and to see Shouko begin to have romantic feelings toward Shoya because of this bond that she has never been able to experience in her life truly makes me happy. But it only makes me sad again when Shouko’s confidence is shattered when Shoya can’t understand her Love Confession. This is why this film needs to continue. If I were to see these two finally get together and know how much one means to the other, it would mean the world to me. This story needs a romantic ending because of how much they teased it in the film. It would, personally, complete all of my thoughts about how this couple would end up. And my final point: I have never been an anime fan. I’ve only, truly, loved two shows so far but this film touched my heart on a very personal level. For the 100th time, if I can see Shoya and Shouko finally get together and become a romance, it would make me feel truly happy. I hope I get to see it someday...🙏🤞
If it helps give you any closure, in the final panel in the manga, they are holding hands which implies they are becoming a couple since 2 non-familial adults holding hands implies a relationship in Japanese culture so it's safe to say that even though you don't see it in the movie, they most likely end up together.
I felt like God communicated to me directly via this film. He told me that this life I gave you has a meaning to it and it is your job to find it. How to find it? Just use the power of your voice, actions and emotions. Don't just sit around in a lousy way and start meeting and greeting many and many people, abled or differently abled. You will find why I gave you this life for 😊
When he said people can change he is right. In my class 2 boys spilled water all over me and my stuff. They did not mean to do it but they did. And only ONE of the boys said sorry. I could tell he really was sorry so I forgave him. We are not best friends but I still consider him someone to talk to. Just give them a chance to say sorry. Have a nice day
Kyoto Animation really improved the anime a lot better than the manga like the vibrations used in the anime which didn't show on the manga. Although the reunion between Shoko and Shoya was also different in the manga. Again that's just comparison sake of comparing for me. The English dub is really perfect compare to the Japanese version. However I think the English is more authentic.
I didn’t realize I didn’t look at peoples eyes until I saw this movie, I’ve always been very familiar with peoples shoes and for some I would know people by their shoes before their names. I always knew who he drip and who didn’t 😂
I really enjoyed this movie and I cry every time I watch it which doesn't happen very much but I really didn't like the blonde chick even at the end because I guess I just couldn't sympathize.
This anime is god tier and dog shit at the same time. God tier you know why but dog shit because it's only a movie. It missed a lot of plot and character development cuz it was too short and the studio did an amazing job to cut and snip parts and fit all that in a 2 hr movie. But I wished it was at least a 2 part movie or a series. A lot of things aren't understood because of the cutting and snipping and I wished the story was a bit more whole. Even after cutting so much, the anime was awesome, I wonder how it would have panned out if it was a multi part film or a series.
I requested to my teacher to watch this movie in class and she agreed, we watched it in class and almost everybody was crying
Wish I went to you're school damn.....
Why did u do that to ur class 😭
@@nearlover8248 I wanted to see them cry 😀
Which class I want to see which class is most likely to let me suggest an anime
Anytime I suggest something they just brush it off like it's shit and probably don't even give it a try
This movie was so amazing I can’t even begin to describe
I swear, every SINGLE time i hear that god damn "Lit" soundtrack, some tears burst into my eyes
@@nilanavesa yupp
Man this movie is a masterpiece. period.

Keep strong! Better times will come for sure ;)

the best word to use in a description of the "A silent voice effect" is either reflection or realization in my opinion

Wanted to note that in most psychological studies, there's no link between bullies and low self-esteem.

Enjoyed both movies, but A Silent Voice just gave me everything I could ever want in a movie, no seriously there is only one or two movies that I hold in higher regard and that’s saying a lot.)
Dont get me wrong these movies are completely different but if id compare i would agree
I can relate to this movie, i can relate to shoya and it helped me a lot, taught me many things.. Thank you for describing it and digging into it deeply
This movie was simply the best film I’ve ever seen, I empathised with shoyo and how he viewed his “friends”at school, I did feel the ‘silent voice effect’
I've had this movie on my list for over a year...finally watched it a couple days ago. I've watched it every night since. Fantastic review, I think it connects with people because like you said it shows the highs & lows of humanity. Really glad this film was made
The movie was great. I'm happy I decided to watch it, it's definitely one of the best movies I've seen in a long time.
I remember hating anime ever since I was a kid until I watched the Movie back in 2020, it opened my eyes and amazed me I absolutely adore A Silent Voice. I will never blindly judge things anymore.
this film was a spiritual experience
The 2016 Animated Movie A Silence Voice really means to me is:Bullying,Despair,by helping others,to learn to forgive one another and to bring hope with happiness from one another.
This anime change my life i was struggling with depression and now I’m almost 100% back to when before
Thank for your review as alway. It didnt impact me as deeply as yours but I also share the love for this piece of art. I love how the author takkle this matter excellently. The anime adaptation is a very definition of " showing rather than telling the story".
This was an amazing video !! It encapsulates so many of my thoughts and feelings so well, I truly relate to what you say :) This is my favourite film of all time. It sounds melodramatic but it saved my life, and I feel like it is a film that massively helps tonnes of people who are struggling with life. This film was the first anime I ever watched and it drove me to watch more and despite the fact that I am yet to find anything that makes me feel the way this film does I am happy with the amount of other shows I have found and loved because of this film. If anyone hasn't seen this film yet I highly suggest you give it a watch because it's a very real and down to earth film that highlights both the positives and negatives of life. And of course, if you are someone who is struggling then get help, even if it's just a word with a friend. Getting help doesn't make you weak, learning to live is what makes you strong. I wish everyone the best and stay safe !!
Never Too Late by Three Days Grace saved mine back in the day so I feel you.
A Silent Voice is really inspiring to read or watch, Manga or Anime wise. I have read the manga and it's One-Shot version way back when it was still serializing in Weekly Shonen Magazine owned by Kodansha. Then when I heard it was getting a anime adaptation, I felt excited and dreadful because how emotional it is and how impactful it is. It is a great movie and while I personally think the manga is better than the movie, they are both really great in their own way, just how they both give awareness to many real problems that real people face.
I requested my teacher for Human Social Services to watch this for a lesson. And now I feel that this really connects to it
It is million Times more amazing when you could relate to it-
The manga was a great manga when I first read it and then re-read again before the movie first premiered in Japan. After watching the movie. It was really something behold.
SYOP UR GONNA. AKE ME CRY.
i watched the first 2 minutes and was tearing up
theyre two sides of the same coin and can tackle their problems together
I’ve only watch three anime’s aot, garden or words, and this and I’ve loved each so much
If you enjoyed this try the movie 'your name'
@@AHBrandonReviews I'll have to check it out man, thanks for the suggestion
you may enjoy violet evergarden if you liked garden of words and silent voice.
An anime that gets better and more relatable the longer you live, the more experiences you obtain
I will always remember where I was the first time I watched this. Wishing I could go back to that moment and watch it for the first time again...
Amazing video well done
I need to rewatch this and cry at the last part again and pay more attention
This was an incredible analysis of the movie, analysis of techniques used and the purpose and effect behind them was done in a thoughtful and entertaining way and the talk of your own experiences was incredibly insightful. This video and your channel deserve far more hype. :)
The ending of this film is perfect (no happily-ever-after wedding scene) just having the characters have a moment of clarity was better. This would be a great film to show kids in school.
The past I tried so hard to leave behind and forget comes back with cat ears.
This video was absolutely amazing! ❤❤❤ You deserve waaaaaay more views and subscribers. Well done! 😊☺❣
Nobody can understand those feelings, it's happiness, sadness, emptyness I understand the mixed feelings not as one feeling but as many...
This feeling is unique,its nothing like the emotions youd feek normally it is the silent boice in your heart.
Love your review dude...
Thanks Maxx
@3:07 well that hits home.
this is the movie that i believe is the best ive ever seen
The movie didn’t heal me, it brought me down and I wanna die.
Same
What about the movie made you feel this way?
My guy I swear you are so underrated.
I watched both english and Japanese and honestly i started off like woah this is weird to damn i love her voice and i mean it was quick i loved both dub and sub like even tho it sounded odd i cant help but say its amazing cause it must be scary to talk and not hear ur own voice and many might see u like some weirdo when ur just as human i love shokos voice i recently rewatched the movie and i loved it even morr
I love how shoya is such a lil prick in the first like 25 miniutes but I find him such a likeable and relatable person whom I can't bring myself to hate. I think the movie played its cards right in showing shoya as an adult before he was I child so we can relate to him first instead of initially hating him and never forgiving him.
The depiction of Social anxiety made me relate so much. I look at the ground all the time and whenever I ever talk to someone, I look everywhere but their eyes. Whenever I talk, I say the wrong things and it makes me sound a bit rude but really Its not what I really mean. I just don't know the words or the right way to say things cause my social skills aren't there. I don't know how to end a conversation.
A really great video on one of my favorite anime of all time. Good job man.
Great review man
my mom who doesnt even watch anime and think its weird says she loved it
It's funny... you say in the beginning the viewer wants bad things to happen to Yasho, because he's bullying a poor deaf girl. But I never grew hateful of him. You could see it in his eyes and body language; he was picking on her not cause he felt malicious.. *he was just confused*
There's a panel in the manga.. where when Shoko is introducing herself to the class and writes that she's deaf.... To Shoya it feels like she's an alien (She's literally drawn on a planet outside Earth) (I'm sure you noticed coz you read the manga :)
Shoya was just confused and frustrated... I'm not justifying what he did was right, yes, it was horrible... but his intentions felt different than Shimada, Ueno and Kawai.
We all can learn a lesson from example of Shoko Nishimiya,the Japanese Deaf Girl.
Very beautiful anime
I cried. I never cried. I cried 6 times through the whole movie. Last time i cried from a movies was bunny girl senpai movie when the car accident. And Sasha in aot but this was too much on my heart i felt it heavy on my Chest making me almost puke.
I don't really like anime. but this movie caught me by surprise and I actually enjoyed it quite a lot.
I have the whole manga collection and it touched my heart.
You can never go wrong with the japanese dub.
Two things.
#1 This video made me cry. Well done.
#2 I heard KyoAni got deaf girls for both versions.
Bonus, for that unnamed emotion, I'll bet the Germans have a word for it. They have a word for everything.
Thank you.
I have 2 deaf brothers and this movie hurt to watch
I had a bully to but we also became friends.
My only wish was if I get to see the two get together. Though the movie not going full
romance adds a unique feature to the film, it should have a sequel, to me personally. At this point (not that I’m keeping track) not a single movie has made me cry ever. But this film definitely takes the cake for being the closest to it. You genuinely feel sad for this poor and innocent little girl. She’s only trying to make friends but gets dirt thrown in her face and her only form of simple communication thrown in a pond. That part alone nearly brought me to tears. And to see this boy who, so mercilessly, bullied her in 6th grade become Shouko’s best friend and to see Shouko begin to have romantic feelings toward Shoya because of this bond that she has never been able to experience in her life truly makes me happy. But it only makes me sad again when Shouko’s confidence is shattered when Shoya can’t understand her Love Confession. This is why this film needs to continue. If I were to see these two finally get together and know how much one means to the other, it would mean the world to me. This story needs a romantic ending because of how much they teased it in the film. It would, personally, complete all of my thoughts about how this couple would end up. And my final point: I have never been an anime fan. I’ve only, truly, loved two shows so far but this film touched my heart on a very personal level. For the 100th time, if I can see Shoya and Shouko finally get together and become a romance, it would make me feel truly happy. I hope I get to see it someday...🙏🤞
If it helps give you any closure, in the final panel in the manga, they are holding hands which implies they are becoming a couple since 2 non-familial adults holding hands implies a relationship in Japanese culture so it's safe to say that even though you don't see it in the movie, they most likely end up together.
When Shoya begs Shoko "help me live my life" I think its much more than "I love you".
I felt like God communicated to me directly via this film. He told me that this life I gave you has a meaning to it and it is your job to find it. How to find it? Just use the power of your voice, actions and emotions. Don't just sit around in a lousy way and start meeting and greeting many and many people, abled or differently abled. You will find why I gave you this life for 😊
more room for your imagination to fill in the blanks - yes
When he said people can change he is right. In my class 2 boys spilled water all over me and my stuff. They did not mean to do it but they did. And only ONE of the boys said sorry. I could tell he really was sorry so I forgave him. We are not best friends but I still consider him someone to talk to. Just give them a chance to say sorry. Have a nice day
Kyoto Animation really improved the anime a lot better than the manga like the vibrations used in the anime which didn't show on the manga. Although the reunion between Shoko and Shoya was also different in the manga. Again that's just comparison sake of comparing for me.
The English dub is really perfect compare to the Japanese version. However I think the English is more authentic.
i hate watching this Movie because it ENDS:( i just wanna forget everything about this movie and rewatch it..
I didn’t realize I didn’t look at peoples eyes until I saw this movie, I’ve always been very familiar with peoples shoes and for some I would know people by their shoes before their names. I always knew who he drip and who didn’t 😂
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
God bless and much love to all ❤ Jesus loves you 🙏
But I gotta say Shoya and Shoko Together FTW !!
10/10
Man, this movie made me cry like a b*tch
I love this movie but I wanted them to show more love I NEED MORE ROMANCE
Not the point of the movie... if you want that watch Your name
You should watch I want to eat your pancreas. Now that’s an underrated movie
2:33 You need to tell me who tf spouting that shit so I can... re-educate them...
im never finishing ddlc idc
I really enjoyed this movie and I cry every time I watch it which doesn't happen very much but I really didn't like the blonde chick even at the end because I guess I just couldn't sympathize.
This anime is god tier and dog shit at the same time. God tier you know why but dog shit because it's only a movie. It missed a lot of plot and character development cuz it was too short and the studio did an amazing job to cut and snip parts and fit all that in a 2 hr movie. But I wished it was at least a 2 part movie or a series. A lot of things aren't understood because of the cutting and snipping and I wished the story was a bit more whole.
Even after cutting so much, the anime was awesome, I wonder how it would have panned out if it was a multi part film or a series.
