Because the cast in this anime are not anime voice actors but movie, J-drama actors. I recommend watching anime with a cast full of movie stars instead of seiyuu.
if it is really the case , i never thought to hear that someday. that's so refreshing . after so many of japanese anime movie and series where they force the seyiu's to make too energical over the top acting (which has started to gets old) , they finally ask these actors to be more natural. i wonder if Keichi Hara does that for the originality
Pretty normal, non anime series movies like these normally have these type of voices. I call them ''movie voices'' lol They all sound the same to me, I mean the tone and delivery they use (Your name, Tenki no ko, Belle, pretty much all Ghibli movies too) If you watched enough movies, you'll notice too
I am Japanese and saw this movie at the theater, and it was one of the most memorable movies I have seen in the last few years. Many of the audience, myself included, cried tears of happiness at the end of the movie. Like "A Silent Voice", I hope that many people around the world will see this movie. 10/10
"You're struggling everyday, aren't you?" Just that voice over a scene of a human hugging her... Damn! That brought tears to my eyes. Would read the novel then come back to this movie
I totally agree. I didn't expect all that emotion. I wish I knew cause I had no tissues during the last 20 mins. I loveddddd it so much I pre-ordered the blu-ray and manga. ❤❤
I've read the novel and it's very close to my heart. It has such a nice message and so many lovable characters. They're not perfect people but that's what makes me love them so much. I would definitely recommend this!
Having watched the movie, it probably worked better as a novel. The pacing is just terrible. You could easily cut an hour out of the middle of the movie and not lose much. Then you reach the last 20 minutes or so and everything happens all at once.
This is such a phenomenal movie. I pre-ordered the manga after seeing the movie. I wish I knew about the emotional parts cause I needed tissues in the last 20 mins.
I loved the book so much that after finishing it in the library, I bought a copy for myself at the bookstore. It's just so hauntingly beautiful and tugs at my heart strings.
I was just enchanted by the whole movie. It was such an emotional rollercoaster ride. It has excellent dubbing. I went and pre-ordered the blu-ray and Manga after seeing this. ❤❤
@-Me-._. I can't wait for the official manga to get released. I tried to see this a 2nd time at the cinemas, but it was strictly limited. What did you think about the Lonely Castle in the Mirrror drawings I did on my channel? Lemme know.
Not gonna lie as a once bullied victim in middle school, this movie brought tears in my eyes because man those kids had it way worse. The way they were there for each other made me bawl😭 great movie!! However I wish we knew more about what happened to the other kids at the end.
There is a series of postcards issued in Korea. Spoilers! (I guess) At one point they all gather in one place. But they don't recognize each other, sans one of course.
The book was so good! Heartbreakingly realistic take on anxiety and very moving on how it approach bullying. I felt like I'm back to being a helpless child longing for connection.
This movie did an excellent job at capturing what the kids were going through. It's even worse now with social media. I wish I had know cause I would have brought tissues when act 3 started.
@GwenStacylover464 ME tooooo. It was very relatable and realistic. The voice acting was superb. I didn't think it would be emotional so the 3rd act was completely unexpected. Wish I got to see it a 2nd time on the big screen 😊
Mamoru Hosoda's movies are one of the best anime movies I've ever watched! Some of my favorites are Wolf Children, The Boy and the Beast, Summer Wars, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, and Belle. I can't wait to watch this movie.
Came here after watching the movie. It is even more tough when you actually go through it irl. I hope whoever is going through it finds people like them. And even if they don't, I hope they can wake up from this nightmare and see the sunlight for themselves and not for others. - From another "Kokoro"
Just finished watching in the theater just now and sadly I’m the only one who watched it. It’s not that popular here in our country. Oh well, I have the entire theater and I poured my hearts out., A very touching story..I loved it. 😊😊 If you love Your Name, silent voice, you will also love this..
i saw this movie an hour ago and it was flat out beautiful. The plot twists, the storyline, the characters, everything about it was amazing. I definitely cried over it. I definitely recommended and I'll definitely buy the movie when it comes out
im here after reading the novel. cant wait for this to air in my country and bawl happily at the ending. srs 11/10 story. the way everything was perfectly put together in the end. ❤
just finished watching this and I must say this anime is really good it make some want to read the novel. the plot and the character are perfect! definitely gonna watch it again when I feel tired because this anime gonna be my new comfort 💗
Wow...what a wholesome and emotional movie...kokkoro saving akiko and at the end when rion and kokkoro became friends again...belief i cried bcoz all of them were already friends... though their mind forgot but heart and soul remembered... beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Lonely castle in the mirror is more than a movie. It’s an emotion. It’s a story. It’s something that people like me can relate to. This movie was spectacular and wonderful. It told me to never give up. It told me life may be hard, but you can stay strong during those times. This movie was life changing. This movie was a tearjerker. This movie was beautiful. Thanks, Studio Ghibli.
Bravo for the latest acquisition! 🎉 I have been waiting eagerly to watch this, it looks like a visually succinct work of art that must be experienced by all. 😄
I love how the movie depicts a girl who is older than everyone in the group was the girl who took care of each and everyone's mental state to face reality in their school life progressively.... That was unexpected climax....😮😌... Loved it till the end happily 😋🤓🥰
Hey now !! I totally understand you need to say how beautiful this story is but at least say it beforehand when you're about to reveal such a plot twist... I just finished reading it so it's okay for me but please think about other people who might just be curious 🌧️🌧️
The movie will have a limited screening in the USA June 21 22 2023. The story covers a wide range of child psychological and sociological issues with compassion, but the topics are not for children under 12 years old - unless a parent wants to do a great deal of explaining. The story is best viewed as a coming of age fairy tale.
Female characters in this movie have probably the most natural sounding voices I have heard in any anime ever.
Right, I'm loving it
Ikr i rlly don't miss the squeaky sounding ones in anime.

Thank you. A Silent voice was my favorite movie too.
Song name?
@@baylee2009 Merry Go Round

Song is "Merry Go Round" by Yuuri btw. I recommend giving him a listen. His songs are so great

Just that voice over a scene of a human hugging her... Damn! That brought tears to my eyes. Would read the novel then come back to this movie
This is so beautiful ❤️

he didnt make this one, it says Keiichi Hara
Numpty. And you just named 5 out of all 6 of his movies.
Hosoda and Hara are different , this isn't relevant.
This movie is much better than Suzume, IMHO
@@wazzup233 THAT WAS SHINKAI.
This looks like such a hidden gem

Looks really cool. I love these type of stories.
Yuuri's Merry-Go-Round hit me so hard at the end credit 😢

No this movie is made by studio A-1 pictures, not ghibli. They have a lot more amazing anime movies
@@Sotoyalay704 Your opinion. Studio Ghibli is a very classic studio with amazing styles of art. Plus Gkids is owned by Studio Ghibli( right?)
The wolf and the seven little kids. 😅
This looks so good. Intriguing. I am adding to my watchlist.
No way! They used Yuuri's Merry-Go-Round for the main theme? Love that song
Definitely seems like it'll be a tear jerker
Just the trailer made me goosebump
I read the book last year and it was beautiful. Imagine my glee when I found out there's a movie 🥺🤍 I'm ready to cry again
I’m tearing up. This is looks so beautiful. I can’t wait to watch it
I saw this trailer while seeing Kiki, it honestly sounds very feel-good fantasy novel like! Color me intrigued!
This is gonna be awesome! I loved the book and the voice acting sounds so good! Can't wait!
Something to look forward to this summer!!!
I love this! It’s simply human. Above race, class, class, and gender. I’ll be trying to convince my mom to watch it ❤
Love the theme song. Merry Go round by Yuuri
Just read the novel last month. Had no clue about the anime. Can't wait.

Love the vibe!

I got this book for my birthday and it is in my top 5 ever
Nice story... Great voice acting
It’s a great movie! I watched it on an ANA airlines flight. Didn’t know that it was a new movie
