Another famous director of anime is Mamoru Hosoda who has made several important films. The most recent of his films was Belle (2021) that received a 14-minute standing ovation at the Cannes Film Festival. He also made the 2012 Wolf Children and the 2006 The Girl Who Leapt Through Time. Any one of these would be good to see in a reaction.
Wolf Children may be an appropriate recommendation. Really enjoyed stumbling upon your channel for the Your Name and A Silent Voice reactions. Keep it up!
Thank you Matthew. I Want To Eat Your Pancreas, Wolf Children, and Grave Of The Fireflies are going to all be heavily considered over the coming weeks. Depending on scheduling, they may even end up on a poll that can be voted on through Patron. Thanks for your comment!
A Silent Voice is simply great. I love the elements they use to show depression, deafness and bullying, be it the X-faces, the partial muteness, the rather quiet music with clear tones, the blurry foggy scenes and the editing between scenes with reversed roles. It's a very human story with many characters in which no one is perfect. However, I can recommend the manga, as many elements are missing. A story that could have been told in 12 to 24 episodes has been shortened to one movie. The content was cut at the beginning, which means that the reasons why Ishida started bullying Nishimiya are not clear. What other characters have done, especially Miki Kawai, is also neglected. In general, since we don't get Miki's thoughts and her point of view, her diabolical selfishness just doesn't come across in the movie. It's exactly the opposite with Ueno. Because we get less of her, her actions only seem malicious instead of desperate. And Satoshi (red-hair guy) didn't get his story arc adapted. What I also really like about the manga is that when we get scenes from Nishimiya's point of view, the text is cut off and you can only read the bottom half and almost have to guess what has been said. It's a really nice element to express deafness and lip reading.
That line Ueno said to Nishimiya, "you're not going to really try to talk to me," is quite interesting. In other shows, she might just be relegated to a typical villain role, but in this "Voice" themed story, she serves as an important character. recommend: - In This Corner of the World - Liz and the Blue Bird (Same director and studio as "A Silent Voice") - Wolf Children
I just feel like Ueno's resentment towards Nishimiya is quite justified (not like I support bullying). It's more reasonable in depth when the manga discusses that Takeuchi (the teacher) purposely made Nishimiya sit across Ueno so that she could assist Nishimiya and pretty much pitch Takeuchi's responsibility as a teacher to his student despite being the same age. Ueno also wasn't even mean to her at first as shown in the movie, going as far as assisting Nishimiya in notes. But because of this, Ueno's grades lowered due to the loss of focus (again, because the teacher is avoiding his responsibilities). Additionally, Ueno had a crush on Ishida when they were kids (and I think this goes on until Ishida woke up, as why Ueno was the one always looking after him in the hospital). I find Ueno's character relatable as it is actually difficult to like something you have resented for a reason, no matter what reason that may be. It's not like she wasn't guilty, it's just that she is having a hard time and she believes change is not something that is possible. It is subjective after all. I wouldn't expect people or even myself to change when I said to. It's difficult and most of the time, even impossible. Ueno's demands for Nishimiya on just hating each other but being on good terms is very rational in my perspective (it's just Ueno thought Nishimiya hated her/them that bullied her). I'd bet my money more on that compromise than to expect change. Getting along would seem bold and impossible. Ueno's character boils down to being self aware (to a degree) of her own flaws yet being unable to admit it. Wishing to change yet being hesitant to believe such a thing is possible, for me, is quite reasonable. Plus let's not forget they're still teenagers after all. What happened back then in their 6th grade still lingers on her mind. In a sense, she hasn't grown out of it yet (to why does she wish for Ishida to have his group of friends back). Teens (like myself) are still quite sensitive and are still having troubles making mature and sensible decisions.
Hi! I don't know if you saw but my Wolf Children reaction was impossible to upload without getting blocked. It is on my Patreon, however. Thanks for your response! It looks like I'll be going back to regular reaction format now 😀
This was such a delight! A Silent Voice means a great deal to me and I love to revisit it a least once a year. The sensitivity and care over each character makes this a highly emotional experience. I have always appreciated and loved the more ‘difficult’ personalities in stories so this film really speaks to me. I got such a kick out of you saying that the bridge scene with all the kids seemed like a play because for me I jive with those kinda scenes soo much! Although, while I would say the story really does work as a film. I do think it suffers a little by not being able to fully adapt the source material. Not too much! But just enough for me to notice and think “ah would be nice to have a lil more time with this world and characters” Also Kyoto Animation (KyoAni) are just absolutely elite as a studio who you can always trust with pure magic in anime. Just knowing that they truly are the outlier of animation studios that genuinely care for their staff… it makes the world of difference.
Thank you so much for this comment Sacha. You were my first subscriber, so I'm glad you're still here now that I've reached the 100 subscriber milestone.
@@Tea.Drinker.Forever very happy with the honour ☺️ particularly looking forward to your final reactions to Black Sails. I can imagine there will be some meaty discussions ahead!
Absolutely adored your reaction to this movie, I cried a lot hahaha. Thanks again for such a treat (:. For recommendations, I'd highly suggest any studio ghibli movies (idk if you've already watched them) such as Spirited away, Howl's moving castle, Grave of the fireflies; Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms is also incredibly beautiful. Tho these that I just suggested are not that similar to Koe no katachi, theres this anime series called Orange, that somehow is similar, and I think you would like, but it is not a movie (tho it has a movie after the series). Waiting for more reactions of yours!
also at 17:12 the reason he says "The Moon" and fumbles like an idiot is cause the Japanese words are really similar and due to Shoko slight sluring it sounded off. Just wanted to clear that up. Also also, this movie isn't a romance movie, it's a movie about loving yourself and who you are.
Hey i've stumbled on your channel randomly but i've been really enjoying your reactions and reviews. Here 's a couple anime movies i'd recommend for you to watch : - I Want to Eat Your Pancreas - Weathering With You - Wolf Children There's also plenty of Anime (Non-movies) for you to enjoy and react to. Keep up the good vids👍
What an incredible movie. With all the warnings I got I was so ready for it to end up with... less of them at the end. I'm glad this is how it ended. I've been wanting to learn sign language for a while as well, I wish I had more time. I look forward to whatever you watch next!
Your reaction was wonderful! Isn't it the most underrated channel? I subscribed to the channel, so I will continue to support you from Japan.😄🇯🇵 And I want you to watch my favorite anime, Demon Slayer. ( This sentence relies on a translation app, so I'm sorry if there is a mistranslation.)
the sad part is...that this is all the fault of that terrible teatcher.... he left for the kids to take care of shoko, he didnt adapt his class for her, he didnt learn sign language, he didnt wrote on the blackboard what he was saying for her, he ignored signs of bullying, and he, in fact, bullied his students himself (like the way he talks to ueno) that guys is a terrible teatcher and have he made some little effort none of this would have happened, these kids would have grown up with happy lives.... it is like mr miagy said, and i take this particular teatching to my life "thre is no such thing as a bad student, only a bad teatcher" as someone who likes to help with the education of my lil brothers and sister, as well as try to be helpful when i see children in it, that teatcher feels like a personal atack to my own morals... a man lik ethat should never have had the right to be an educator...
I'm always happy to see people get angry on behalf of others when it's easy to pretend it isn't happening, so thank you for this lovely comment. I'm happy to have you here ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for the recommendation! I'm showing ny age by saying this, but I actually watched Death Note as the second season was airing. Waiting week by week for the subbed episode to drop in compressed 360p quality on the edge of my seat in the computer room, those were the days 🥲
Recommendations wise (sorry if I have missed you saying that you have watched these already) you gotta experience some Satoshi Kon. Particularly his debut ‘Perfect Blue’.
Yes, I have seen Perfect Blue and Paprika, but both were so long ago that I would treat it as a 'first time watch' because I remember nothing only that they were incredibly cerebral and intense, for different reasons of course.
You’re the first person I’ve seen say ‘ueno is constantly coming up against herself’ most people hate her guts (rightly) as I did when I first watched it. But the line she says to nishiyas mum ‘don’t have kids if you can’t take care of them’ I feel like ueno is mad that likely her own mother likely doesn’t care about her and is expressing some of her own resentment and anger towards nishimiyas mum in this moment. Uni physically attacking both nishimiya and her mother is coming from somewhere else
I first saw Grave Of The Fireflies about 15 years ago, I was far too young to appreciate the nuance and character depth. I look forward to seeing it with mature eyes.
I have a request, I would love if you react to the anime “Happy Sugar Life”.. It’s only 12 episodes and I think you have the sensibility to understand and love it. If you watch it you should not search anything about it, because it’s easy to spoiler and a lot of people did not understand what it’s about so you might get confused. I can tell you it’s a very deep and bittersweet story and it will hit hard :)
Thank you! Grave Of The Fireflies is definitely going to be done on this channel. As for full reactions, I intend to release them on my patron once it's been set-up, alongside polls to vote on what I watch next, early access to videos, and patron only reactions 😊
Okay, firstly, I would say read the manga. You miss a ton of context to the story. While the movie is great, it really does a horrible job at representing the characters and their actions. Plus, the story goes farther than where the movie ends. None of this is meant to knock the movie because I understand that you can't fit the entire manga into a 2 hour movie. Secondly, the recommendations.

- Liz and the Blue Bird (Same director and studio as "A Silent Voice")
- Wolf Children
Thanks for taking the time to comment! Wolf Children will be watched at some point
I do think Wolf children and grave of the fireflies would a great watch, but ‘i want to eat your pancreas’ would be good one to add to the list!
Yup, those are the three I'll prolly add to a poll soon
Ueno is probably the most relatable character for me! Anyways, great job on this one.
For movies, I recommend Anthem of the Heart.
Interesting, what is it about her you found to be so relatable? 🤔

7:06 wow... your analysis of both the movies is amazing!!
My recommendations are Wolf Children, Suzume and Garden of words. You can't go wrong with either.
Hi! I don't know if you saw but my Wolf Children reaction was impossible to upload without getting blocked. It is on my Patreon, however. Thanks for your response! It looks like I'll be going back to regular reaction format now 😀

Yup, I think I did mention during my reaction his pronunciation of 'tsuki', it was a great comedic moment
Hey i've stumbled on your channel randomly but i've been really enjoying your reactions and reviews. Here 's a couple anime movies i'd recommend for you to watch :
- I Want to Eat Your Pancreas
- Weathering With You
- Wolf Children
There's also plenty of Anime (Non-movies) for you to enjoy and react to.
Keep up the good vids👍
Also recommend "I Want to Eat Your Pancreas" because I'm a foodie :)
I push Wolf Children!
Pancreas, Wolf Children, and Grave Of The Fireflies will all be heavily considered over the coming weeks.
Watch the “the boy and the beast” and “liz and blue bird” please! Thank you for the reaction
Just the title then.
I recommend "I Want to Eat Your Pancreas".
Thanks! Lots of people asking for that one
My favourite anime movie of all time, for personal reasons
I'm happy to hear that!
What an incredible movie. With all the warnings I got I was so ready for it to end up with... less of them at the end. I'm glad this is how it ended. I've been wanting to learn sign language for a while as well, I wish I had more time.
I look forward to whatever you watch next!
Thanks so much for your comment! I'm looking forward to seeing more
the symbolism & cinematography in that movie is crazy
Some really strong cinematography, I agree
Your reaction was wonderful!
Isn't it the most underrated channel? I subscribed to the channel, so I will continue to support you from Japan.😄🇯🇵
And I want you to watch my favorite anime, Demon Slayer. ( This sentence relies on a translation app, so I'm sorry if there is a mistranslation.)
ありがとうございます、イタちゃん😉😅
I love this movie and I saw the wolf children recommendations it’s really a great movie (anime)
Anime has better story telling than most of the live action movies 🙂
Please please please Wolf Children HAS to be next it’s an absolutely absolutely beautiful film, you would enjoy it!
Thank you! I'll be adding it to the poll when it's published
I recommend 5 Centimeters per Second, an earlier movie made by the director of Your Name.
That's definitely on the long list of films to react to, thanks!
this isn’t an anime but it is VERY deep n emotional, i reccomend “a man called otto”
Thanks, I'll look it up 😉
Grave of fireflies
It's coming next 😉
the sad part is...that this is all the fault of that terrible teatcher.... he left for the kids to take care of shoko, he didnt adapt his class for her, he didnt learn sign language, he didnt wrote on the blackboard what he was saying for her, he ignored signs of bullying, and he, in fact, bullied his students himself (like the way he talks to ueno) that guys is a terrible teatcher and have he made some little effort none of this would have happened, these kids would have grown up with happy lives....
it is like mr miagy said, and i take this particular teatching to my life "thre is no such thing as a bad student, only a bad teatcher" as someone who likes to help with the education of my lil brothers and sister, as well as try to be helpful when i see children in it, that teatcher feels like a personal atack to my own morals... a man lik ethat should never have had the right to be an educator...

@@Tea.Drinker.Forever one of my favorite lines ever, is from edmund burke: "for evil to triumph, all that is required is for good men to do nothing"
I'm enjoying your reaction! Thankyou! As for next, maybe When Marnie was There? It's a good movie.
Yup, I've gotten that recommendation before. I'll certainly bare it in mind.
Watch "weathering with you" it has the same creator of "your name" you will see taki and mitsuha in there
I just did a review for Suzume, but I will do a reaction to Weathering at some point. My next movie will be I Want To Eat Your Pancreas.
Great reaction 🔥. BTW you should watch a series also called Death note. Genre : Psychological, supernatural, Thriller,Crime .37 eps total
Thank you for the recommendation! I'm showing ny age by saying this, but I actually watched Death Note as the second season was airing. Waiting week by week for the subbed episode to drop in compressed 360p quality on the edge of my seat in the computer room, those were the days 🥲

Yes, I have seen Perfect Blue and Paprika, but both were so long ago that I would treat it as a 'first time watch' because I remember nothing only that they were incredibly cerebral and intense, for different reasons of course.
You should DEFF watch Grave of The Fireflies!! Amazing movie. I never got bored of the movie,!
Yuuuuup. It appears to be the highest requested movie 😅
I recomment Satoshi Kon movies: Perfect Blue, Paprika, Millennium Actress
Thanks! Will definitely do at least one of them
the manga is even better! id read it you learn ay more about the characters. I hate the teacher for letting what happened happen!
Thanks!! Robert said as much. I'll be in a comic store tomorrow and I'll see if I can do that
I recommend Violet Evergarden, is serie and two movies
And it’s same animation studio of a silent voice
I will absolutely react to the movie(s) at some point as I watched the first 7 episodes of the anime and loved it!
I've like to think that the silent voice all along is shoya
The real Silent Voice was the friends we made along the way! 😊
I think if you like deeper character studies the series Neon genesis evangelion might be up your alley if you haven’t seen it yet
I've seen it all, as well as the film, but thank you so much for the recommendation!
Good Reaction!
Thank you!
I recommend Grave of the Fireflies
Will most likely do it at some point

Grave of the fireflies should be next that is more deep and you will goona say to the end " its soo beautiful that im not gonna watch it again"

It'll be my next movie reaction 😁❤️
You should react to gibi studio the title is graveyard fireflies😢😢
It will be my next reaction! 🙂
