This is one of the hardest movies i have ever watched. It really shows, not just bullying, but the effects it can have, how it can be contagious, and reasons it continues. Keep in mind the teacher had to know it was happening to call out "who did it" but did nothing until he was forced to.
Im one of those who was bullied and became a bully. That is one of those things that will never leave you when you know that you made someones life as, or even more, miserable than yours. This movie really gave me a hell of a emotional beating.
Honestly, the suicide attempt of Nishimiya had me shocked, but it didn't make me cry. The last scene however, when he starts being able to see all the people, that fucked me up good. I sometimes have similar problems overthinking and having a hard time socializing with people, so this movie really hits home for me and I think it shows very well, how we can always forgive others and ourselves.
It's the same for me with that scene, it's the ending as you said and also that moment on the rollercoaster between Miyoko(Sahara) and Shoya that really get to me "But then one day I decided that I was going to wait till after the ride to decide if it's scary or not, can't help feeling a little scared though" Social anxiety is a difficult thing to fight through but I try to keep that quote in mind so hopefully someday all the X's will disappear and I'll be able to make friends.
What about Ishida's attempt? For me I was curious at first and when the flashback came in, I cried because I can relate with him. But I wasn't the bully nor the victim. It was at 4th grade I started losing a lot of friends. In 5th grade I only have 1 then in 6th grade to now, I'm alone. Damn loneliness got to me. This is also the cause on why I always talk to myself.
The studio that is responsible for this film, Kyoto Animation, has a very well-deserved reputation for quality in pretty much every project they produce. Other great series and films from them include "Sound! Euphonium," "K-ON!!," "Violet Evergarden," and "Liz and the Blue Bird" to name just a few.
For everyone who didn’t read the manga, Shoko’s mom is being so hard, expressionless and not afraid of getting physical is because in the manga they explained how her husband and his family despised of having disability daughter, they know Shoko is deaf and decided to divorced her and leave her entire family, so her mother is alone and have to raise her daughters alone with only granma help, and she become so hard towards Shoko because she thought it was for her own good, so she raised her as a normal girl and don’t want to put her in the special treatment or special school so she can be accepted as a normal human being, it’s hurtful really, because she came out to be mean, but she did what she think it’s good for her daughter, to be tough, she don’t want her to easily get hurt or give up well bcoz she’s through so much pain too…as a mother i can see why she did what she did… Oh, and also, Yuzuru was purposely cutting her hair short and dressed like a boy for protecting her sister 🥲 she knows her sister gone through a lot, with her mother being rigid and stern and hence her granma said that yuzuru has a pure heart 🥲
A Silent Voice, I gotta say, is the most accurate film/show about mental health. And also, this film is so important. I have autism, and struggle about depression and anxiety, even suicidal thoughts. But don’t worry, I’m still living and I need to find happiness inside me.
As someone who struggles with social anxiety and severe depression (attempted suicide before), the ending really rboke me down. just seeing all the people who He can look forward to, and the light and the end of the tunnel made me sob
Dakota, you can make it. I think you are a very strong person, even though I don't know you. I struggle with the same issues, and I don't recommend what I did, but for the longest time, I didn't tell anyone about anything. I had a feeling they would just tell me I'd get over it. I had a mask of who I wasn't. I seemed like a charismatic person, but in reality I was hurting. I understand you. Have an amazing day
This movie tore some very old wounds open again for me and at the same time it became my favorite anime movie. I dont think Ive ever cried so much that Im actually gasping for air. This movie means so much to me.
Violet Evergarden is good and certainly emotional, especially particular episodes. I still find it's hard to top Clannad After Story in terms of sadness though.
its a reupload but a much needed one. one of my favourites and not ashamed to say i cry super easy when watching this movie. because as with many people, you can relate to him... like scary how accurate i can relate.
I've always loved this movie (and, of course, the original manga which has even more character depth and helps with a few of the oddities in the movie) because the topic hit very close to home for me. In middle school, I was bullied constantly and eventually moved because of my dad's work. I stayed in contact with one of the few friends I had there and years later, I went to visit him for his birthday and he told me that the guy who had bullied me was bullied in turn and had come and asked my friend how I was doing. I forgave him instantly then.
Yeah, this is a really emotional movie. So sad, yet so beautiful. It's masterfully done. BTW, she technically did say "I love you" to him. In Japan, people very rarely actually say "love", even if they're a couple or even married (it's mostly reserved for family members). They say "I like you", but it does mean "I love you", or translates to it. Also, the reason he saw all those Xs over people's faces was because he couldn't bring himself or allow himself to look people in the eye.
Which is a comment on the system as a whole being flawed and stacked against those who don't fit a standard mould. Which is further reinforced in the manga by the reaction of Shoko's father and his family to her deafness.
Boys : Girls cry a lot and get too emotional. Meanwhile boys : This movie made me cry a lot. P.S. being a guy, i never felt so emotional for an anime in my life. I fell in love with Nishimiya ❤
11:45 this scene always gets me, when she's sobbing on her bed after the doctor visit, cause she lost all her hearing on one side. good voice acting, that whimpering hits deep.
I really love this film. I know a lot of people that read the manga kinda hated it because a ton was cut, but for what it is, it tells a story that is very important. I used to know sign language when I was young. So, watching this really reminded me of a few things I still remembered and there are a few scenes I could actually understand even without the translation.
One of my absolute favorite movies. Super relatable and an absolute gut punch every time I rewatch it. Great reaction and commentary! Really enjoy hearing your thoughts as we go along 😊
The Eng Dub of this movie is actually more appropriate because the English voice actress of Shouko is actually deaf. The Japanese voice actress of Shouko is not deaf.
I’d highly recommend “I Want To Eat Your Pancreas” if you loved this movie! Another film that inspires you to open up to people and make the most out of life. Plus the music is to die for!
@@K0K0BB It's different. For people who haven't watched Pancreas movie, how will they know she'll die in the movie? Get a better explanation and not just say something so damn obvious like there being TITANS on attack on TITANS lmao
I love it, it is a great movie even though it doesn't cover the whole source material. In source material there are moments that really define scenes like the time they fight in the classroom - in the manga Shoko actually smiles during the fight, and I think that's because for the first time they communicated (even thought it was through physical violence); she expressed her anguish and he treated her as an equal for at least a bit. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but the manga was very special to me, and this movie did not betray that feeling. It was well done, and I'm kinda glad they did not cover the rest of the story but stopped where they did in the movie, because that is the essence of the story. Not to mention how beautiful it was :D
Oof, I didn't know it had an anime. The manga killed me repeatedly. It's such a blend of cute, frustrating, heartfelt, and just amazing. It's really great at making the characters feel real. I really came to care for all of them. Great story.
I’m legally blind and have been suicidal in the past. This movie legit had my crying like I haven’t cried since my father passed away several years ago. There are other reasons related to very similar romance stuff in my life that help me to relate as well. I honestly can’t express how deeply this film struck the core of who I am as a disabled person with a very relatable background to it. What I can say, is that I see myself very much in the main character’s shoes and I also see a lot of my girlfriend(soon to be wife) in this film as well. Further, this a genuinely good take on what it emotionally feels like to be disabled and depressed about it. I’m past a lot my struggles now and heading towards successful career in law with someone I love beside me. However, if this had come out 5-7 years earlier, then I think it might have changed my life. If you gotten this far through my ramble, then thank you for reading and I wish you well.
Great reaction! My favorite thing about this movie is the cinematography of itself. Through production, many parts were scrapped simply because it would be way too long of a movie and they didn’t know how to present it from the manga to film. However, my favorite thing is how they represent anxiety / social anxiety. Often people with anxieties will look at the floor to avoid talking or interacting with others. There are many scenes where this happens. Where the shots will be taken from the ground. In all honesty, I didn’t expect the movie to be great, since I’ve read the manga beforehand. This deserves everything because it’s honestly a masterpiece : )
For me, it was the moment on the ferris wheel when Nishimiya said "I hate myself" that destroyed me. There never was a single other movie that made me cry like this one did. I hold this movie very close to my heart
I really like it!! I'm Japanese man who had watched this movie. And I really love your reaction. I followed your twitter ;) Thank you for uploading good movies!!!
Holy crap, you actually watched it. Loved the oneshot and serialized manga. Loved the art and story. It's sweet and sad and makes you angry and hopeful. The film is one of the greatest I've ever seen, and I'll likely not watch it again any time soon. It crushes you. Hard to even watch a reaction without everything welling up again.
the only problem with this Movie is they tried to compress 7 volumes of manga into one movie,, the phasing and character development would be better if they made this into a series..
I agree that it might have been better as a series, but the movie still does a fantastic job of conveying a good portion of the story by focusing on one of its core plot points and themes
This is a supplement to the scene where Ishida could not hear the confession of "like" at 12:27. It's just an urban legend, but when a famous Japanese writer Natsume Soseki (a novelist over 100 years ago) was an English teacher, he translated "I love you" into "The moon is beautiful." It is a conversation that I used well.
I discovered this awesome film over the summer of 2020 during lock down by bumping into the music video "CUCO - Lover is a Day" that was composed of nothing but scenes from this film.
I wish I had the full quote, but it goes something like this "You feel ashamed of your past self. That means you're growing, you wish you didn't feel the way you felt during that time."" Anyway, hope you have a beautiful day/night.
If you want to understand better someone that struggles with negative thoughts or even depression, this movie is a good one. It really shows you how someone could be feeling but not talking to anyone about it. I love it, and the manga goes more in deep with the themes.
This movie was so hard to watch, and yet so beautiful by the end. I cried so much while watching it. One of my favorite shows that had a similar theme of growth past hardships is "Anohana". I needed to drink Gatoraide after watching that show lol
I love how you prepared those tissues before watching! Great reaction. The characters really grow on you throughout the movie and leaves a quite fulfilling feeling in the end. If you have time, please react to a movie "Maquia. When the promised flower blooms" It's a fantasy drama that focuses on life and motherhood. It can be confusing because of the timeskips (back and forth) but its really worth the watch too. Also prepare box of tissues for that one too :D
@@00elixie00 the only thing I dislike about the film is the way it concludes. Something happens at the very end that I thought was a bit rushed but other than that, I thought it was a great movie.
@@neilselgi8581 Oof! I don't man... Shout out to you and Elixie for recommending a great cinema I haven't seen, but just from the photos it looks a "rip your heart out" kind of emotional rollercoaster. I'm not sure I'm down to feel such powerful emotions
This is a great movie, beautifully executed, and it touches on a lot of complex themes. But one giant thing it could have brought up is the importance of going to therapy lol almost every single person in this movie needed to be in therapy
Hahaha that gasp at the smartphone scene "Ahh, they can talk!" And then the sly side-eye "They can text..." Lol my thoughts exactly. Swing for the fences, homie! I'm rooting for ya, lad!
Ueno is like a physical manifestation of shokos self hatred. When ever she feels guilt or hatred towards herself it does more damage to herself and ueno represents that. I think I dunno
This is the kind of movie that you want to watch again but can't gather the courage to do so. I watched Grave of the FIreflies almost 6 years ago and till date, I couldn't manage to watch it again.
It's a difficult watch but a great film. This and Your Name were released at similar times so get compared alot (think I even mentioned it in the Your Name reaction). It deals with alot of difficult subject matter and also tells the perspective from the bully rather than the victim. Tho shows good growth and development.
I came across You a few days ago was trying not to watch but today is the day. it also hits home hard for me too :).. i always laugh at reactors who cry but no matter how many times i watch this film or reactors reacting to this i always CRY no matter what. i just subbed i enjoyed you're reaction..
Bullies in my life: "We regret nothing. You were the only mixed race kid in school, we *had* to bully you, it's just how things are. You're weird, you had it coming." Ishida: "There are no excuses for what I've done. Being a child was not an excuse. I regret everything."
Well that explains it since it’s the original language what I mean is that I watched it in english dub and it sounded like she actually said I love u in that scene but he thought she did the moon and I was so mad at that scene but now it makes sense
First off Great Reaction, I will say this movie is a lot more clear with the Dub than sub. It's very hard for those who don't watch Anime regularly to understand the context of certain japanese speech. I think that lead to your initial confusion in the beginning with the Mom being upset about him wanting to commit suicide and the confusion to why he was paying her money. He was paying his mother back because she essentially emptied their saving to pay Shoko's mother back for the hearing aids that he destroyed. I know it wasn't on here but Japanese people are extremely prideful and have a strong sense of duty and honor. That's why his mother most likely ripped her own earing out of her ear to compensate for Shoya did to shoko when he pulled out the earing. Before any comments overhear start shouting Sub is always better than Dub, no it's not, it's to the preference. There is a reason why things are localized in other areas, Speach is not universal and something simply don't make sense with a Direct Translation. Great reaction though! Keep up the good work!
The dub was more clear that the sub for English viewers, I agree there. I did interpret the earring part differently though, and I am not sure which is right so it's interesting to hear that shouts mom might have ripped her own earring out. I thought shokos mom reached over a ripped it off, based off the other times she is showed slapping people I though maybe she was more aggressive and ripped it out in anger. But maybe shoyas mom did herself idk, but it's interesting to think about.
For your average American audience, dub will likely provide the better experience. But objectively, the sub voice acting is always better. Japan uses legitimate stars for these roles, as opposed to a random Canadian company handling the dubs. Also, for the context of this story (Japanese students in Japan), English is not authentic.
@@gbautista100 It is not objective that is subjective, it is your opinion literally the opposite of objective. Sub also takes your eyes away from the scene itself, little details can be missed while reading. It also doesn’t help when the subtitles don’t even have proper sentence structure. I have never complained about someone preferring sub, it’s simply not my preference. You cannot say sub is objectively better because it’s simply not, it may be your opinion that it’s better and I can say your wrong and that’ll be my opinion. She has watched everything dubbed and loved it. What I said still holds truth, languages don’t directly translate which is made evident by the subtitles of this movie. Their is no problems localizing it, because literally every movie is localized in other territories. So what I get from your comment is that you would have preferred her to be confused, even though the story is what matters, just to satisfy your need to feel like your opinion is right and superior? You cannot say their always better because you can’t even understand them, for all you know Japan could feel like some of the acting is cheesy and bad and you wouldn’t know the difference.
@@carlyparker4410 violent in the sense she was protecting her daughter, but Japanese people are very stoic and believe that actions are stronger than words. Kinda how to ask for forgiveness the bow on the ground. Or how they might go above and beyond like shoya does to makeup for their misdeeds. An eye for eye. Most likely the conversation went along these lines. “The money will not repair the damage he did to her ear” and the shoya’s mom ripped it out to pay back blood with blood.
I traveled 4 hours to the city to watch this movies in theaters, not even a normal theater, it was small with one movie room (pretty nice place tho) 100% worth it
I think the "X" over faces thing is an accurate representation of avoidance and social anxiety. Disregarding others isn't just done when feeling insecure, but can also be done proactively in a way that seems rude. Ultimately it's about feeling safe, but the mechanism easily blends with judging others as a way of rationalizing to oneself why one does it.
Good ol' Silent Voice. One of my favorites. I know this is a re-upload from your old channel but it's like watching it for the first time. Beautiful movie by the amazing Kyoto Animation. They're my 2nd favorite anime studio from Japan next to Studio Ghibli. July 19th will mark 2 years since the arson attack on Kyoto Animation.
You might also like Garden of Words. It's by Makoto Shinkai (the same director as Your Name) and will hit you in the feels. Possibly one of the most beautifully animated films you'll ever see.
lady you are a good soul, i understand your emotions-this anime is a masterpiece-i also cry-amazing story!!!! the japanese has always powerful stories like "your name" -" Weathering With You " "belle" !!!!!
apparently nishimiya did try to kill herself after middle school when everyone bullied her, thats why her sister took the photos of dead animals to scare her of death. She grew out of it, but afyer meeting ishida again, and seeimg him go through all shit because of her(which actually wasn't the case anyways) she remembers that again and tries to suicide.
There’s a anime movie called Colorful that should you check out if you can ☺️ to me it feels like it belongs in the same category as Your Name., A Silent Voice, Weathering with You.

However, my favorite thing is how they represent anxiety / social anxiety. Often people with anxieties will look at the floor to avoid talking or interacting with others. There are many scenes where this happens. Where the shots will be taken from the ground. In all honesty, I didn’t expect the movie to be great, since I’ve read the manga beforehand. This deserves everything because it’s honestly a masterpiece : )
For me, it was the moment on the ferris wheel when Nishimiya said "I hate myself" that destroyed me. There never was a single other movie that made me cry like this one did. I hold this movie very close to my heart
I really like it!!
I'm Japanese man who had watched this movie. And I really love your reaction.
I followed your twitter ;) Thank you for uploading good movies!!!
Holy crap, you actually watched it. Loved the oneshot and serialized manga. Loved the art and story. It's sweet and sad and makes you angry and hopeful. The film is one of the greatest I've ever seen, and I'll likely not watch it again any time soon. It crushes you. Hard to even watch a reaction without everything welling up again.
19:02
LOL IT LOOKED LIKE SHE WAS IN THE CAR
You're my favourite youtuber from now on. I've finally saw someone reacting to anime in it's origin language not like others in English
the only problem with this Movie is they tried to compress 7 volumes of manga into one movie,, the phasing and character development would be better if they made this into a series..
I agree that it might have been better as a series, but the movie still does a fantastic job of conveying a good portion of the story by focusing on one of its core plot points and themes
This is a supplement to the scene where Ishida could not hear the confession of "like" at 12:27.
It's just an urban legend, but when a famous Japanese writer Natsume Soseki (a novelist over 100 years ago) was an English teacher, he translated "I love you" into "The moon is beautiful." It is a conversation that I used well.
I discovered this awesome film over the summer of 2020 during lock down by bumping into the music video "CUCO - Lover is a Day" that was composed of nothing but scenes from this film.
I wish I had the full quote, but it goes something like this "You feel ashamed of your past self. That means you're growing, you wish you didn't feel the way you felt during that time."" Anyway, hope you have a beautiful day/night.
If you want to understand better someone that struggles with negative thoughts or even depression, this movie is a good one. It really shows you how someone could be feeling but not talking to anyone about it. I love it, and the manga goes more in deep with the themes.
I will FOREVER love this movie with a fiery charizard passion. Amazing movie
my favorite movie. i watched it like 2 weeks ago and i've been addicted to watching it touch others since.
This movie was so hard to watch, and yet so beautiful by the end. I cried so much while watching it. One of my favorite shows that had a similar theme of growth past hardships is "Anohana". I needed to drink Gatoraide after watching that show lol
I love how you prepared those tissues before watching! Great reaction. The characters really grow on you throughout the movie and leaves a quite fulfilling feeling in the end. If you have time, please react to a movie "Maquia. When the promised flower blooms"
It's a fantasy drama that focuses on life and motherhood. It can be confusing because of the timeskips (back and forth) but its really worth the watch too. Also prepare box of tissues for that one too :D
I love this movie! Another movie that's in the same vein is "Anthem of the heart", its about love and regret, I highly recommend it.
Now that's a very underrated film. Literally no one has done a reaction to that movie.
@@neilselgi8581 That's why I want to see Vkunia react to it! Its very good and has a bunch of great metaphores in it, it's very satisfying.
@@00elixie00 the only thing I dislike about the film is the way it concludes. Something happens at the very end that I thought was a bit rushed but other than that, I thought it was a great movie.
@@neilselgi8581 Oof! I don't man... Shout out to you and Elixie for recommending a great cinema I haven't seen, but just from the photos it looks a "rip your heart out" kind of emotional rollercoaster. I'm not sure I'm down to feel such powerful emotions
i literally cry at this movie after the second it starts
This is one of those movies I never want to watch again, yet it was such a good movie. Second hardest to watch after Grave of the Fireflies.
This is a great movie, beautifully executed, and it touches on a lot of complex themes. But one giant thing it could have brought up is the importance of going to therapy lol almost every single person in this movie needed to be in therapy
I see how redemption can really make a difference in the world and it changes people for good I see why this movie is so good
Jesus that animation movie is beautiful, sad and heartbreaking. And i really love it and i cry many times. I also read the manga.
Saw this in theatres a while back for a festival. Not a dry eye by the end. Great film. It really has everything
Fun fact the english version actually used a deaf actress. It was better than I expected
as soon as I saw the thumbnail I actually said out loud "Oh no she didn't" and shook my head...then clicked on the video, tears will be shed
Real life is messy like this. Incredible and deeply mature script.
Hahaha that gasp at the smartphone scene "Ahh, they can talk!" And then the sly side-eye "They can text..." Lol my thoughts exactly. Swing for the fences, homie! I'm rooting for ya, lad!
This movie is amazing and needs more attention. Needs a release, i think it would be more popular if came out now
i bawled out on the last scene
The times I cried din the movie where when nishiyama was saying sorry for trying to kill her self I was just so sad..
Ueno is like a physical manifestation of shokos self hatred. When ever she feels guilt or hatred towards herself it does more damage to herself and ueno represents that. I think I dunno
This is the kind of movie that you want to watch again but can't gather the courage to do so. I watched Grave of the FIreflies almost 6 years ago and till date, I couldn't manage to watch it again.
It's a difficult watch but a great film. This and Your Name were released at similar times so get compared alot (think I even mentioned it in the Your Name reaction).
It deals with alot of difficult subject matter and also tells the perspective from the bully rather than the victim. Tho shows good growth and development.
Movies like Your Name, are very beatiful, but this one, has a better, deeper and meanenful story and characters.
I came across You a few days ago was trying not to watch but today is the day. it also hits home hard for me too :).. i always laugh at reactors who cry but no matter how many times i watch this film or reactors reacting to this i always CRY no matter what. i just subbed i enjoyed you're reaction..
Bullies in my life: "We regret nothing. You were the only mixed race kid in school, we *had* to bully you, it's just how things are. You're weird, you had it coming."
Ishida: "There are no excuses for what I've done. Being a child was not an excuse. I regret everything."
This movie wasn't that popular until 2 years ago and was rated lower than Kimi No Na Wa, the movie got recognition better late than never
about the confession scene.
"suki" = "i like/love you"
"tsuki" = moon
Well that explains Sokka and Suki... and also Yui (Moon) XD
Well that explains it since it’s the original language what I mean is that I watched it in english dub and it sounded like she actually said I love u in that scene but he thought she did the moon and I was so mad at that scene but now it makes sense
@@vinnie4444 that's why you *should* always watch it subbed, a loooooootttt of meaning is left out in dubbed anime.
Oh man, I want into the movie theater to see this one and I had no idea what it was about. I cried so much in that one.
First off Great Reaction, I will say this movie is a lot more clear with the Dub than sub. It's very hard for those who don't watch Anime regularly to understand the context of certain japanese speech. I think that lead to your initial confusion in the beginning with the Mom being upset about him wanting to commit suicide and the confusion to why he was paying her money.
He was paying his mother back because she essentially emptied their saving to pay Shoko's mother back for the hearing aids that he destroyed. I know it wasn't on here but Japanese people are extremely prideful and have a strong sense of duty and honor. That's why his mother most likely ripped her own earing out of her ear to compensate for Shoya did to shoko when he pulled out the earing.
Before any comments overhear start shouting Sub is always better than Dub, no it's not, it's to the preference. There is a reason why things are localized in other areas, Speach is not universal and something simply don't make sense with a Direct Translation.
Great reaction though! Keep up the good work!
The dub was more clear that the sub for English viewers, I agree there. I did interpret the earring part differently though, and I am not sure which is right so it's interesting to hear that shouts mom might have ripped her own earring out. I thought shokos mom reached over a ripped it off, based off the other times she is showed slapping people I though maybe she was more aggressive and ripped it out in anger. But maybe shoyas mom did herself idk, but it's interesting to think about.
For your average American audience, dub will likely provide the better experience. But objectively, the sub voice acting is always better. Japan uses legitimate stars for these roles, as opposed to a random Canadian company handling the dubs. Also, for the context of this story (Japanese students in Japan), English is not authentic.
@@gbautista100 Most dubs are done by American companies...
@@gbautista100 It is not objective that is subjective, it is your opinion literally the opposite of objective. Sub also takes your eyes away from the scene itself, little details can be missed while reading. It also doesn’t help when the subtitles don’t even have proper sentence structure.
I have never complained about someone preferring sub, it’s simply not my preference. You cannot say sub is objectively better because it’s simply not, it may be your opinion that it’s better and I can say your wrong and that’ll be my opinion. She has watched everything dubbed and loved it.
What I said still holds truth, languages don’t directly translate which is made evident by the subtitles of this movie. Their is no problems localizing it, because literally every movie is localized in other territories. So what I get from your comment is that you would have preferred her to be confused, even though the story is what matters, just to satisfy your need to feel like your opinion is right and superior?
You cannot say their always better because you can’t even understand them, for all you know Japan could feel like some of the acting is cheesy and bad and you wouldn’t know the difference.
@@carlyparker4410 violent in the sense she was protecting her daughter, but Japanese people are very stoic and believe that actions are stronger than words. Kinda how to ask for forgiveness the bow on the ground. Or how they might go above and beyond like shoya does to makeup for their misdeeds. An eye for eye.
Most likely the conversation went along these lines.
“The money will not repair the damage he did to her ear” and the shoya’s mom ripped it out to pay back blood with blood.
I traveled 4 hours to the city to watch this movies in theaters, not even a normal theater, it was small with one movie room (pretty nice place tho) 100% worth it
I just watched it for the first time a couple of minutes ago and honestly it changed my view on the world
BROO IM REWATCHING IT AND IM CRYING SO MUCH
i still get tears watching people reactions lol :P
I think the "X" over faces thing is an accurate representation of avoidance and social anxiety. Disregarding others isn't just done when feeling insecure, but can also be done proactively in a way that seems rude. Ultimately it's about feeling safe, but the mechanism easily blends with judging others as a way of rationalizing to oneself why one does it.
Good thing you had your tissues ready, great movie with a lot of really deep themes to tackle. One of my favorites. 👍
I've seen this movie and cry every time, just now I ugly cried....
Silent Voice is a beautifull movie! And I warmly recommend "Josee to Tora to Sakana-tachi" to everyone that likes Silent Voice!
@VKunia, thanks for sharing your journey through film with us!
海外の方がこうして日本の映画を見てくれて日本人としてうれしいです！
Another incredible movie that derves a watch is maquia when the promised flower blooms, super recomended.
Heyy i love ur reaction movie videos
Plsss can u react to a movie called swiss army man i love that movie so much
I love that movie so much 💙💙💙💙💙
Swiss army man is one of the best movie ive seen in ages
I have seen that movie already 😭😭😭 but maybe I can do a rewatch :)
Ooh its okay can u do portrait of a lady on fire its a beautiful movie with so many aesthetic
Is that the one where he has many abilities and they experiment what he can do?
@@keretaman oh yeah thats the movie lol
'Silent voice' is a story of two friends one is a girl who cannot speak properly and cannot hear and a boy who is trying to help her to talk properly.
this film pulled on my heart strings so many times omg :(
Good ol' Silent Voice. One of my favorites. I know this is a re-upload from your old channel but it's like watching it for the first time.
Beautiful movie by the amazing Kyoto Animation. They're my 2nd favorite anime studio from Japan next to Studio Ghibli. July 19th will mark 2 years since the arson attack on Kyoto Animation.
10:28 that's a total anime character like reaction 😭
You might also like Garden of Words. It's by Makoto Shinkai (the same director as Your Name) and will hit you in the feels. Possibly one of the most beautifully animated films you'll ever see.
YES!!!!! Great movie! I read the manga years ago and I think they did a really good job with the movie. You WILL cry! Don't even think you're not.
After watching this movie for the first time I looked up videos about bullying & suicide in Japan & how a lot of the time teachers tend to ignore it.
lady you are a good soul, i understand your emotions-this anime is a masterpiece-i also cry-amazing story!!!! the japanese has always powerful stories like "your name" -" Weathering With You " "belle" !!!!!
apparently nishimiya did try to kill herself after middle school when everyone bullied her, thats why her sister took the photos of dead animals to scare her of death. She grew out of it, but afyer meeting ishida again, and seeimg him go through all shit because of her(which actually wasn't the case anyways) she remembers that again and tries to suicide.
You reaallly need to watch Maquia! Its sooo good
There’s a anime movie called Colorful that should you check out if you can ☺️ to me it feels like it belongs in the same category as Your Name., A Silent Voice, Weathering with You.
I need to watch this again, but it was one of my favorite movies the year it came out.
Girl, we ALL cry during it. I have yet to see someone NOT cry during the suicide attempt scene or when Ishida is finally able to be happy again.
I can’t tell you guys how much I cried watching that movie like two years ago I swear I cry watching anime movies all the times
@@ChandGulaabi it’s a good movie I was talking about it yesterday
I just watched this for the first time 2 days ago, so amazing timing :D
