My favourite anime movie bar far, my literal only issue is I hate Ueno’s character she’s horrible

Otaku Steph

YES OMG. At first I thought I was being a bitch, but she had no character development in comparison to the others 💀💀

Mitchell Hastings

The books expand on most of the side characters and help you understand Ueno and all the other side characters and their reasoning a bit better, but yea it still doesn’t absolve her of being hated. Some other differences are that in the book, shoko’s dad abandoned the family because of her disability, and shoko’s mom emotionally abuses her by screaming at her anytime she apologizes, refuses to learn sign language to talk to her own daughter, and is always pushing her to “be more normal.” Hence, shoko in public school with zero learning aids.

The shoko fireworks scene will remain seared into my being for eternity. As well as her guttural screams of “I’m so sorry” at Sho’s mom’s feet. Destroyed me for months. Shoko’s decision to commit suicide is one of the most accurate portrayals I’ve seen in media. As someone who has been on that ledge personally, it made resonated hard. Her pained smile when Shoya talked about the future. The decision made likely when Shoya made plans for the future “together”, which gave her a sense of guilt that she would still be “dragging him down” a year from now. The feeling that he won’t be better until you’re (she is) gone, but they won’t see that, so you have to do it yourself. The resigned goodbye, the subtle refusal to acknowledge “see you later”. Movies always make the lead up to suicide some big dramatic thing. This may be the most accurate (at least personally) portrayal of a decision to commit that I’ve ever seen. And one of the many reasons this movie absolutely broke me. Thank you for not using the Amazon Prime version. They ruined this movie and Your Name. Unforgivable.

Geart movie the way it handled bullying, depression, and suicidal thoughts felt so real watching Shoya fight to change himself was incredible. The only thing that never changed was my hatred for Ueno and Kawai

Otaku Steph

First off, I'm sorry to hear you were hurting to a point of feeling that way - I hope you're doing much better now đŸ€ Secondly, I'm glad this film's accurate portrayal of suicide brought you some form of comfort. I think it's such a difficult subject to touch on, but it's depiction felt so quiet and beautiful. Also, no worries HAHA. I always try to find the blu-ray versions of things, as they're much higher quality!

Otaku Steph

Shoya, Yuzu and Nagatsuka were SO DAMN LIKABLE. God, Ueno felt so redundant as a character lmfao. Kawai being the people-pleaser and playing the victim got exhausting so quickly lol.

The English title is "A Silent Voice," but the Japanese title is "Koe no Katachi" (The Shape of Voice). This film is tough for me to watch a second time, but I'm really happy that you watched it. The manga does portray the blond-haired guy from elementary school and the orange-haired guy from high school as each having their own complicated feelings/perspectives, but I guess there just wasn't enough time to fit all of that into the movie. The original is a manga, but the publisher initially held off on publishing it, because it depicted bullying directed at a deaf person. However, the author built up a track record of good results with other works, which eventually got Koe no Katachi published and serialized in a magazine. (It seems to have been reviewed/checked by the Japanese Federation of the Deaf.) The manga was indeed controversial in Japan as well, drawing both praise and criticism. The point that angered you is the same point that angered Japanese readers. The anime's director Naoko Yamada,she is famous for creating anime of overwhelming visual beauty. Besides this film, she has also worked on the K-On! movie (set in London!), Liz and the Blue Bird, and, more recently, the TV series The Heike Story and The Tent Sorcerer's Astral Journal (Tenmaku no Jadoogaru). The OST was handled by Kensuke Ushio, who has also worked on Dandadan and Chainsaw Man.His career began as a techno musician, and he has even opened for Underworld. I'd like to recommend Liz and the Blue Bird, but since it's a spin-off of the TV anime Sound! Euphonium, it might be difficult to fully understand on its own.

Finally got a chance to sit and watch the whole reaction. Thanks for crying with me lol. Apart from the obviously sad stuff, something I realized after my first watch that tore me apart was that the whole movie I’d been internally screaming “someone hug one of these fucking kids.” This movie so unapologetically shows the difficulties of dealing with the hard, quiet parts of life, and shows that there really aren’t heroes written into our stories to support us when we need it most. That being said, a couple translation issues here really change Ishida’s intent and show that he WAS trying to be that for Shoko. 1. After watching the hidden Ferris wheel cam, Ishida doesn’t say “I want her to like nishimiya” as the subtitles say, he actually says “I want Nishimiya to love herself”. Which is a huge difference. 2. When he wakes from the coma and is talking about suicide on the bridge, he doesn’t say “I want to help you live.” He actually says “I want YOU to help ME live.” Telling shoko that he needs her, and that her effort is valid and she’s not in the way, and that her existence keeps him alive. The author has stated the movie isn’t about suicide or bullying or disability. It’s simply about how difficult it is for human being, especially at that age, to communicate and understand each other. You asked “where are Ueno’s parents?! - they abandoned her and her 3 younger siblings in middle school, Ueno has been the parent to 3 kids as a kid herself, and worked multiple jobs through school to raise a household. Which fueled her fight with Nishimiya’s mom. Also, She was in love with Ishida before the fallout, so in her eyes, the moment things changed with Ishida, her whole life got harder and unfair. That doesn’t absolve her of being a cunt, but she’s suffered greatly as well. And I think her not having the character development we expect is another unfortunate truth the author was trying to convey
 sometimes people are just shitty. I said in another comment, some book differences as well are Shoko’s dad abandoning them because of her disability, shoko’s mom being one of her biggest abusers, and forced Yuzu to translated for her because she refused to learn sign language since she thought shoko should just “be normal”. But the best book difference is
 it ends with Ishida and Shoko holding hands and opening a set of doors into their future. Loving this channel!

(Possible spoilers for those who haven't / want to read the manga for this anime) It has been ages since I last read the manga for this anime but if I am remembering correctly there is a little bit extra of Ishida and Shoko going to a class reunion with all the people from the 6th grade and the manga ends with them walking through the door holding hands which I think is a lovely way to end it by showing how they will face the past and the future together.

you should watch i want to eat your pancreas its a really good movie

My number 1 anime movie of all time. Glad you enjoyed it, steph. I seriously don't like Kawai. Ueno is a given, but Kawai is just so fake.
