@@ScamboliReviews This was both a genuinely good and funny review, but I do think you underestimate how big of a bitch some people can be. That black haired degenerate girl is actually a realistic character in my opinion. People use shit from the past to scapegoat there current problems all the time. She has no friends or boyfriend and she blames it all on Shoko so she doesn't have to blame herself So yes, the reason I'm depressed is because when I was a toddler, my mom kicked my ass after she found the poop sock. I fucking hate her
I agree with pretty much every point you make against the movie except one: Shouko's lack of personality. Yes, throughout the whole movie she smiles, waves, and apologizes but that's because she feels as though everything that goes wrong is her fault. She hates herself, as she explicitly states in the movie, and her character is centered around her self hatred and loathing. In the end, she even overcomes this with the major sacrifice Shoya makes to save her. Maybe this aspect of her personality is more developed in the manga (idk cause I haven't read it yet), but I still caught onto it during my first viewing of the film.
I agree with what you said. Maybe some people can relate to it more than others but sometimes you try to act the way you're expected to act so you don't cause pain to others, that's how Shouko acts. Throughout the movie you learn that she's putting on a mask, blaming herself for everything and trying to not cause any more pain, so she just wants to smile and apologise as she thinks that's best for everyone. Having been in a similar situation myself at some point I can totally relate to that feeling and the way she reacts, it's very realistic to how some people would handle the same situation. :)
I feel like she’s very well written for a girl with anxiety and trauma. My sister acts like this. Constantly apologizing. There is a right and wrong way to write characters like that, but I understand shouko.
Mr hacker man XD well I can see how people can miss it but i thought the movie did good conveying it with the time they used, again i can see how people can easily miss it though.
I feel that Shoko supposedly 'lack of personality' stems from her being an outcast and always being treated like she was special, so i feel like ever since she met Ishiba, she is breaking out of her shell and developing her sense of personality. To simply put it, this was only the beginning.
I feel like it stems from her fear of expressing herself and being a burden to others, I've heard others describe it as hurt but I dont tnink that is exactly how she sees herself, I feel like she thinks she is a burden to others so she tries to make herself as invisible as possible, so she is afraid to convey how she feels alot of the time and is afraid to show who she is
I think shoko's one liners and plain "personality" isn't her, I think she's stuck in a loop of constant apologies and always having a smile on her to make those around her happy, so when she attempts/decides to commit suicide is when she can no longer keep up with that facade and it broke her. By the end grows to accept who she really is and it was amazing
My favorite thing about your reviews is that you’re honest and yourself. This is one of my favorite films ever because of the topics of suicide and isolation, but I wouldn’t of ever thought of these critiques. Thanks for your genuine thoughts; your opinions are always rad and the editing is always on point.
This movie made me cry in front of my kid sister. Imagine seeing a grown ass man crying over this. I loved this movie so much! I think Shoko didn't have much of a personality because she was scared of expressing herself, she was suicidal throughout the movie, so it doesn't surprise me that she mainly says sorry or doesn't say much. Thank you for reviewing this movie, I hope more people watch this masterpiece
I think it also has to do with our perspective. Throughout the manga, Shoya repeatedly feels like he should be doing more to try and connect with Skoko more. It makes it clear that the reason we don't see much of her personality is because Shoya doesn't know all that much himself. It brings up a good question about the nature of friendship, and why he keeps trying to befriend her despite knowing almost nothing about who she is or what she likes.
Agree, they excluded one of the best parts from "Bridge Scene". I understand that the studio was limited on what they could include in the film but man I really wanted to see "the punch" get animated.
I love the way you review. Your thought patterns and the way you talk don’t feel forced. You get to your point quickly and you relate what you’re thinking to real life logic. Never change to suit a stereotypical “reviewer” mould. You exude relatability.
Shaman Xeed just checked out your latest video and you start off with a bunch of whining and complaining, yet you’re also claiming you make good content. Sorry bro, but I don’t believe in you. This guy gave me what I came here for. You didn’t.
I watched it in a discord group of like 12 ppl. Was really good hearing other people's reactions as well as discussing over certain parts that were impactful. We had a mute girl in the call who uses tts to talk and she had similar experiences in school that traumatized her even well into adulthood and still to today. She told us how she would have dreams about being able to speak to people because her classmates would act like she didn't exist since she couldn't make any vocal sounds. This made her want to be noticed. Pretty similar to shouko story in almost every way which made the movie hit 10x harder than it would for someone who has no reference in real life to compare to.
Back at it again with the hits. My god man its a masta piece. I like the fact you can spice up the format and still be fire. cuz u got the stuff man the special hot sauce! I find it helps to see what your fans like about the video so... I like your overall writing, jokes, actually understanding what makes anime good(weak man becomes strong, asshole becomes nice guy, when a comedy becomes serious, character development), jokes regarding older anime(grape man, dude from Neverland), music along with timing with your words. you gonna be huge
I’m so glad that you talked about A Silent Voice, bro. It is hands down my favorite movie and there isn’t a single day that I don’t think about it. God that sounds so lame.
Holy shit man your reviews put me in such a good mood. The way you incorporate comedy, while being able to give out your point of view, is like reliving the anime in different eyes which is so refreshing.
Favorite anime movie Edit: I just watched “I want to eat your pancreas” and “your name” and I still stand by this statement. Both are very good. But honestly gotta say I think that “Your name” isn’t as good as I thought it would be. “Eat your pancreas” was pretty good but I was told I was gonna cry yet I never did. Still I cried for this one and as I said I stand by my statement, though I would have changed the ending. I felt it was left hanging. What can I say I’m an emotional guy and I like happy endings and would’ve loved to see them get together.

Will you do a review on Mob Psycho 100? You're very good at bringing up important points and laying them out in depth! I was nodding my head furiously throughout the whole video, namely when you brought up character flaws and praised the animation and composition of the scenes/music. I haven't seen that many reviews on Mob Psycho 100, which I consider a more-than-what's-on-the-surface series and I'd love to see you covering it whether it's in a positive or negative light!
I think you feel like Shoko doesnt have a personality is because, she doesnt speak that much, The Voice is an important part of making a out a persons personality and i Think The lack of her voice makes it Harder to make a connection, therefore making her Seem a little shallow at times.
Still my all time favorite anime till this day, I can't say enough good things about A Silent Voice. If you haven't seen it yet, please... do it, it's an unforgettable ride of emotions.
@@Nephozx manga is only 40ish chapters long and even better than the anime, which is also one of my favourites. You could easily read it all in one sitting.
You seem the most down to earth and considerate anituber I've watched so far. You always take into account details about shows that could affect people in certain ways depending on their personality, and stuff about the show that truly shows its quality. I'm hella down to have a day I can call "weekly scamboli vid day" like I do on fridays with fireforce or jojo (coincidentally, dd productions makes good friday shows). You seem to look at comments a lot and are very experimental, so I thought I'd also mention that despite how well visualized your videos are, you don't seem to know a whole lot about how important visual design like storyboards or character designs are, or how difficult they are to keep up with. I might be a bit biased in that regard being an animator, character designer and storyboarder, but to me that lack of knowledge for that side of the industry kind of stands out when your videos themselves are so cohesive and well visualized. That said, I hope you actually see this day late comment, cause you've been like my fav youtuber lately.
Great job on this video I loved the chowder joke and you mentions some stuff I hadn’t even noticed. Exited for next weeks video keep up the awesome job. 😊😊
I actually think it’s cool how some of the characters are still unchanged by the end. Everyone in this movie is flawed or has fucked up in some way, and I like how this movie doesn’t force everyone to overcome all that and be perfect by the end, like a lot of movies do. It specifically says in the case of the tall girl’s character that there is still time to grow and change, and so we have to give people the time they need to mature and better themselves. I feel like it also speaks to the fact that it’s okay to enjoy the company of people who are sometimes assholes. It’s pretty clear that by the end, most of the relationships still aren’t solid, and they’ll probably have more fights in the future like they did in the movie, and that’s okay. That’s how life is. And I appreciate that choice
Hello person who wrote a comment 2 years ago. Okay, sure, I'll give you a point that it IS a bold decision and a realistic one. But you can't expect to make a movie where 2 major characters do oopsies and fuck-ups throughtout and face little no NO CONSEQUENCES by the end and everything is a-okay and "suuuuure I was not one of main reasons you attempted suicide or anything". People will get pissed off. I sure was. Shoya faces consequences, he grows and changes to a better person because of those consequences. That is some great character development. Yet in the same movie you have 2 characthers that go unpunished, forgiven and left under no sorta of check despite their actions. That tilts me.
@@Firescizor Hello, I appreciate the reply. It just doesn’t make sense thematically though. Think about what caused Shoya to initially contemplate suicide. It’s because he was isolated and nobody was able to forgive him. Should we really wish for a similar attitude towards characters like ueno and kawai? The main issue I have is your claim that there were no consequences when that is not true at all. Shoko’s suicide attempt (and Shoya’s injury by proxy) WAS the consequence, and we can see how badly it affected the people who hurt her. I’ll grant that Ueno’s remorse is hard to detect given her 1. Initial reaction and lashing out from Shoya getting hurt and 2. Her inability to express feelings of remorse (this is shown to be the case earlier in the movie and at the end), however we KNOW that she knows someone she deeply cares about nearly died because of her actions. If that’s not a consequence I don’t know what is, and it’s clear that she is slowly making strides to avoid situations like that in the future. Hope this explanation de-tilts you lol
I have heard the same complaints a lot and I think your explanation here is really good. I agree soo soooo much. One of the main themes of the movie is forgiveness and that's what the end of the movie is about. Forgiving and accepting each other's flaws and living with them. Shoya and Shoko learn so much and transform by the end, but not every character does or needs to. It's so much more realistic to me that way. There are people in this world like Ueno or Kawai that really refuse to change (at least not fully) and that can be hard to watch sometimes, but it honestly made me enjoy the movie more overall. Thanks for sharing your thoughts; it's good to know that others feel the same way about this amazing film.
@@Trail_Blazer they refuse to change their... personality "flaws", let's say. In real life, I would stop being friends with those people that wronged me. Specially to the point of me contemplating/attempt suicide!! Since Shoya and Shoko are clearly torn apart people that have deep issues in terms of social connections and sense of self worth, that still have much to learn despite the good positive point the film ended on, I simply cannot ignore the fact they are in a toxic friendship relationship with Ueno and Kawai. At least I perceive it that way...
@@Firescizor I recently talked to an old friend and he reminded me of something that happened almost 20 years ago in high school. I was part of a group who bullied a kid. I never thought of it that way. I was like "it was just a prank, dude". Now, I understand what it was, at least in theory... BUT, I still don't feel bad about it, I just feel bad about not feeling bad... I don't know why. Maybe doing something as part of a group takes away your feeling of personal responsibility.
You are by far my favorite review channel, when my friend said he needed a review for an anime (can't remember the name) I instantly said watch Scamboli Reviews
Gotta say, I’m digging all of your content, even this so-called “Experimental” format. Really, I didn’t realize this was out of your norm because I feel that it just blends well with the rest of your content. Good job me bucko, it’s all really enjoyable and entertaining to see these videos, I give it 4/5 Cute Deaf Chicks and one Gazpacho
i love your short reviews. they keep my attention and you're also entertaining. i hope in next week's vid about manga you talk about Toilet Bound Hanako Kun cause the art looks fucking amazing.
Just wanted to say, I'm really liking the new format! You said you're still experimenting, but it felt really natural to me. Loved the video, keep up the good work!
As someone who's childhood was very similar to Shoko's to the point i can't watch this movie without curling up into a ball and sobbing like a bitch. That constant fear to be yourself lives with you the rest of your life. The hurt from the rejection you felt is so terrifying that you don't ever want to take the risk of reliving it. So you just do things that will try to get people to leave you alone. She sees herself as useless and nothing but a burden to the people around her, so having someone who is actually interested in what the real her is like has a lot of work to do to even begin to get there. It's the most accurate depiction of someone who was bullied i've ever seen, and it makes me scared to ever revisit this film because it immerses me back into those horrific years of my life.
This may be because I also read the manga so my experience with the character maybe have been expanded on but I believe Ueno thinking so much about their experience in elementary school is justified. It wasn’t just an experience it was the experience that shaped their lives after into what it became so of course she’s stuck on the past. It’s so easy to get obsessed over if questions and she can’t help but think about what could have been if just one thing had changed in her and her friends lives. Especially for an emotional immature teenage girl who is looking for something or someone to blame. And as for the happy friends sort of ending with no development, again I don’t know if it’s also just cuz I read the manga but it wasn’t just that. It ended with all of them accepting their flaws admitting them being honest with each other even if it was about having problems with one another Shoya bringing up that he wants their relationship to continue that their arguments are apart of what makes a friendship and that’s what’s important is that they do it together and are able to come back together and accept each other.
Idk bro, regardless 18 is too old to be acting up about elementary school. I remember in the 7th grade my friend stole my girlfriend and by Freshman year (age 13-14) I was like "come on bro, we were kids that shit doesn't matter" 😭.
Yeah an Ueno apologist! She's the best, she's just really easy to misunderstand and prone to burst out. She's kind of the antithesis to Shouko. Honest, direct and brash. Ueno does have her flaws, recognizes them and hates them, but unlike Shouko she's prepared to face them on and keep on trying to be the best at her convictions.
@@ScamboliReviews But there's a difference between having a expectation of how people SHOULD be behaving at a certain age and what reality demonstrates. Trust me dude; it's not as simple as: "18 year-olds wouldn't be hung up on things that happened so long ago, ergo, this kind of drama is not organic or realistic;" That outlook does not accurately reflect the truth as it completely dismisses underlying factors playing a role in how people are still affected by conflicts in their past or are lacking the mental capability, training or maturity to process through them. These factors include but not restricted to: a person's particular temperament; their personality types, the context of the incident, whether or not the incident is still relevant in their lives, whether or not the person has had closure about the incident, the societal norms of a particular culture, etc. Ueno's impulse to bully Shoko once she sees her again, as well as blaming her for why the group split is a reflection of her own personality issues, not bad or unrealistic character writing. She's still affected by this non-trivial elementary school conflict because she's aware of how her betrayal of Shouya affected him in middle school. She knows about the shit Shouya has been through and she blames that on herself; but as the cognitive dissonance is too much for her to bare, she displaces her self-loathing on Shoko instead. Notice any of the factors i previously listed? For Ueno, the cascading effects of the elementary school fallout are still prevalent in her life; and since her personality type makes it difficult for her to effectively process emotions of guilt and remorse, she responds the way she does. In addition, Japanese culture tends to promote more repression of emotions, this is going to be the inevitable result. A silent voice isn't just about a deaf girl and a guy who wants to atone for the shit he's done; it's also about looking at the social paradigms of Japanese culture, the tendencies of this culture's social mechanics to exacerbate issues of bullying, and how the culture goes about dealing with people who "stick out" through the ostracizing of those who are different. It's a slight observation on how these social paradigms can leave lasting marks on individuals, and how those marks can remain permanent unless these individuals are able to find personal acceptance and heal through strengthening their ties with their loved ones. Just like your anecdotal example, I know quite a few people who've held grudges against others since Elementary School! Things like: "Oh I hate that bitch; she used to bully me all the time back in elementary school," or "this dude stole my middle school crush in the 7th grade so I don't fuck with him." The process of getting over shit in life (or towards your point, in early adolescence) is waaaaaaay more complex than what you're making it out to be. Hey, maybe you were capable of forgiving the guy who stole your gf in middle school, but you have to consider the factors that were at play that probably allowed you to make that decision. From the way you responded to this guy, it sounds like the effects of the gf theft weren't prevalent enough in your life during you transition into high school; and through this, we can assume that your personality plus the you having found closure about the conflict in some way. Perhaps you realized that if a chick is going to go off with your best friend like that, then she wasn't someone worth building a relationship with (As if you knew what went into building a meaningful relationship anyway :D ). Maybe more important things grabbed your attention and before you know it, your boy having stole your girl is the least of your worries. Anyway, good video. I just found your reasoning behind not vibing wth Ueno's character as being detached from what is actually reality
Look, I get it when you say "shouko doesn't have a personality" but she is deaf. she is unable to express her feelings well due to the constant bullying and her inability to hear.
I watched it recently and I cried at the last part. I almost teared up at other parts of the movie and held it in, but I got punched in the face with the last scene and I cried because it hurt and because it was just so fucking beautiful. It's that good.
5:40 I can understand where you're coming from, because it does seem that way, but I know people who are deaf and they seem that way in real life too. A lot of the time they havent really had enough human interaction to "properly" formulate some of the general back and forths that are integral to societal communication. Or at the very least, its very difficult for them to express their thoughts and opinions to people who don't know sign language, and so a lot of the time they can seem distant, and not like real people. I personally think that whether the studio intended that perspective or not, it came through to me, and really emphasized the loneliness which shoko felt, along with making me really care about her when she does THE THING(no spoilers) in the climax of the movie. To me, I thought that shoko's characterization was very good, and her personality was forthright but subtle (I realize that probably sounds retarded and meaningless, but its the best way I can think to describe it.). Though I completely agree with the analysis of the friend group at large. Also its like 2 years later but i just watched this movie recently so here we are
I agree mostly although personally i loved shouko. to me she had a personality but that's mainly because i found myself relating to her a lot. even though i'm not deaf i was able to understand her thought process pretty well. I struggle with apologizing too much and constantly worry about being a burden to others. so i felt like i was able to see myself in her character. and even though her reason for struggling with communication is different then mine I completely know what it feels like to want to communicate but not being able to. she doesn't have a over the top personality and i think its harder to convey due to her not being able to speak but to me she is a really big comfort character. ive never really come across a character like her that ive had such a strong connection with. i might have a different opinion because i read the manga which gave all the characters a lot more depth so who knows. but to me she had a pretty great personality and went through her own growth as well.
Amazing work and analysis as always. A silent movie is my favorite movie only after redline, and its good to see someone dissect its flaws and open my eyes to these issues. You stated the flaws in a really good and concise way that made sense, a very hard thing to do. keep it up, you're wonderful
"Watch this movie with friends" I cried for like 10 minutes towards the end. Definitely should not watch it unless you're alone. It just struck one of those emotional notes, and wouldn't be easy to hide
I had to pause the movie and just sob for like 15 minutes at the ferris wheel scene. As i'm curled up in the fetal position just basically having a PTSD episode my roommate gets home and walks in on this. As i look like i just lost my first child in a car crash he calming asks what the fuck? So just told him the movie and that it was too well done for its own good.
i can honestly see why everyone loves it so much,the art and quality is amazing and it really shows what you say does hurt and have a big impact on people,and the characters have there own personal problems
Shouko not having a personality kind of makes sense in the context of the story though. It's pretty standard in people who have been bullied their whole life that they just sort of withdraw and don't really express emotions as well. Through Shouko's whole life she's felt like her deafness was a problem for other people so it makes sense that she's more withdrawn and apologetic towards people.
This is the only honest, self-aware video I’ve seen on this fucking movie. Glad to know you’re in a similar headspace. The script gets way too messy and melodramatic for a work that focuses on serious issues like suicide. But I had fun and I feel like you did too. What a weird wold we live in... Anyways, props to you! Subbed ;)
Lol gotta love this guy’s content. Please keep them coming and stay true to your style. As your channel grows you will get many from the PC police to thumb down and write negative comments but keep at it. Your humor is gold.
Scamboli: “Miki and Naoka are assholes” Me: Okay, sure, most people feel that wa- Scamboli: “Shoko has no personality” Me: “Oooooh I’m ticked off, but I can overlook it because it’s explained in the man-“ Scamboli: “3 out of 5” Me: *“I KILL YOU!”*
There have only been two times I've ever cried before the ending of a show/movie. The first was Angel Beats (Fuck you Angel Beats) and the second was this one. The scene where Shoya gets slapped on the bridge made me cry so damn hard, because he didn't even try to defend himself. His body language reacts more like a recoil, or a, "Get ready for what's coming," rather than a, "I have to cover my face, so she doesn't slap me again." It's like he gave up on his own self-worth, and now there's just someone reminding him of how bad he really is, just to drive the point home.
After watching numerous of your reviews, I just felt so very much compelled to say this to you... your voice sounds just so soothing and balanced (I wish I had more accurate words for this description) as you talk and review a particular anime. I don't want to sound weird or anything, I just really wanted to finally say this. You should really be a voice actor. I hope you don't mind my commentary. Have a nice day. Lol. XD
i feel like Shouko not having a personality was pretty realistic she was always alone and didnt know how to act with another person she felt distant because of her being deaf
4:00 You misunderstood. That girl has been in love with Shouya ever since elementary school and when Nishimiya joined their class she lost his attention, because he was busy bullying Nishimiya. Later on Shouya was bullied because he hurt Nishimiya. In that girl's mind Nishimiya was the cause of Shouya becoming a social outcast so she wants to take revenge. His accident was caused by Nishimiya as well. This is the reason why she is so mean to Nishimiya. There were plenty of subtle signs indicating this premise ever since the beginning.
Shoko's personality is defined by her adversity dealing with her disability and still trying to put on a happy face. And also being constantly afraid that something is going to make the people around her dislike her, and she's depressed because she has to bottle up all of her real emotions. All of that's there it's just under the skin.
Omg I’m dying 🤣 at like 4:33 thru 5:03 I really died omg- I literally like how you just explained half the movie and just everything overall. Edit: I watched this movie alone and CRIED very sad in my opinion
It definently makes more sense and carries more meaning to those who have been through it. Like.. suicidal peoples logic is bad, but that’s because your reasoning can be so obscured by your hate for yourself and your life. The way shouko apologized all the time in order to not be a burden (but became a greater burden by bottling her emotions) and the way shou was dissociating, the way he never cried until the end of the movie when he realized there were plenty of reasons to keep on living makes perfect sense, it showed me these things from a different perspective (again maybe I was projecting my own emotions into the characters and it isn’t that deep)
Best piece of anime I've ever consumed, period. I personally loved the characters and Shoko as well, her personality is revealed later on and I can definitely feel the characterization in her - she just is very shy and reserved at first. But hey, different strokes for different folks, I respect your opinion.
i binged watched many of your videos after this one and i just want to say that i have feelings for you because you actually like dont just see the animes you like as holy scripts you can see their problems and yet still enjoy it and bro thats cool as hell
love your videos man, started watching Gurren Lagann and Devil is a part timer cause of your videos. can you review some anime like: From the new world, Inuyashiki, when they cry, perfect blue, Monster, Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans? I would love to get your take on them.
I relate a lot to the main character. Not when he was a bully but how he was unfairly outcasted by everyone causing him to close up to the people around him. It's a very heart warming movie and I watched it with my younger siblings but I'm the only one who actually cried.
Same. I wasn't a bully, actually I had to switch schools because of bullying. I was unfairly outcast though. One day I had friends and then someone blamed me for something I didn't do. To this day I don't know what it was because everyone just stopped talking to me and I didn't make another friend for 3 years.
I've actually watched a silent voice I didn't cry but worst... I actually kept thinking about it the whole day specially when nothing happened at the end(they could at least hug each other!!!)and so I convinced my mom to watch it when she finally agreed and at the end of the movie she said''that is Ssoo bad because the movie is so silent"i was like surprised because that is the reason it's called SILENT VOICE!!!!!!besides that when I watched it for the second time (with my mom) it got even worst I started seeing life so black idk why... But now I just got through it not100% but if they held hands and hug each other I'm sure it will be better! (Besides it's my favorite movie for now)

@@ScamboliReviews This was both a genuinely good and funny review, but I do think you underestimate how big of a bitch some people can be. That black haired degenerate girl is actually a realistic character in my opinion. People use shit from the past to scapegoat there current problems all the time. She has no friends or boyfriend and she blames it all on Shoko so she doesn't have to blame herself
So yes, the reason I'm depressed is because when I was a toddler, my mom kicked my ass after she found the poop sock. I fucking hate her

I agree with pretty much every point you make against the movie except one: Shouko's lack of personality. Yes, throughout the whole movie she smiles, waves, and apologizes but that's because she feels as though everything that goes wrong is her fault. She hates herself, as she explicitly states in the movie, and her character is centered around her self hatred and loathing.

Correct
So basically read the fucking manga
I agree with what you said. Maybe some people can relate to it more than others but sometimes you try to act the way you're expected to act so you don't cause pain to others, that's how Shouko acts. Throughout the movie you learn that she's putting on a mask, blaming herself for everything and trying to not cause any more pain, so she just wants to smile and apologise as she thinks that's best for everyone.
Having been in a similar situation myself at some point I can totally relate to that feeling and the way she reacts, it's very realistic to how some people would handle the same situation. :)
I feel like she’s very well written for a girl with anxiety and trauma. My sister acts like this. Constantly apologizing. There is a right and wrong way to write characters like that, but I understand shouko.
Mr hacker man XD well I can see how people can miss it but i thought the movie did good conveying it with the time they used, again i can see how people can easily miss it though.

@@atanasdechevz3279 its is?
Tf
It is overrated but I heard that the movie was rushed and the manga is much better
I feel that Shoko supposedly 'lack of personality' stems from her being an outcast and always being treated like she was special, so i feel like ever since she met Ishiba, she is breaking out of her shell and developing her sense of personality. To simply put it, this was only the beginning.
I feel like it stems from her fear of expressing herself and being a burden to others, I've heard others describe it as hurt but I dont tnink that is exactly how she sees herself, I feel like she thinks she is a burden to others so she tries to make herself as invisible as possible, so she is afraid to convey how she feels alot of the time and is afraid to show who she is
Plus she literally cant talk
yeah this feels like Shoyo's and Shoko's origin story
The manga goes further??
@@AlienX281 by like 2 or 3 chapters yeah.
I think shoko’s personality was conveyed through her movements
That’s one thing I think the movie did excellently, convey characterisation through the blocking of characters and shooting from perspective.
“I am an asshole”. Really? Never would’ve guessed
Well for him it wasnt clear back then, so good for him to accept that he was an asshole in the past and now tries his best to be a better person.
@@Palric were talking about the youtuber, right?
@@jom6987 oh, sorry if this comment was about the youtuber i missunderstood that.

Palric woooooosh 😂😂 don’t worry bruh, yeah that was mocking scamboli when he said he was an asshole
"what do you mean you support the death penalty schnitzel?" lmaooo
Edin Alic “What do you mean stop repeating everything you say?”
I think shoko's one liners and plain "personality" isn't her, I think she's stuck in a loop of constant apologies and always having a smile on her to make those around her happy, so when she attempts/decides to commit suicide is when she can no longer keep up with that facade and it broke her. By the end grows to accept who she really is and it was amazing

"All that shoko does is listening and doing one liners"
I mean, they cant really make her say a sentence so......

My favorite thing about your reviews is that you’re honest and yourself. This is one of my favorite films ever because of the topics of suicide and isolation, but I wouldn’t of ever thought of these critiques. Thanks for your genuine thoughts; your opinions are always rad and the editing is always on point.
Thanks for the comment :)

This movie made me cry in front of my kid sister. Imagine seeing a grown ass man crying over this. I loved this movie so much!
I think Shoko didn't have much of a personality because she was scared of expressing herself, she was suicidal throughout the movie, so it doesn't surprise me that she mainly says sorry or doesn't say much.
Thank you for reviewing this movie, I hope more people watch this masterpiece
Makes sense, I'd have to read the manga and see if it gives a lil more insight into that
I think it also has to do with our perspective. Throughout the manga, Shoya repeatedly feels like he should be doing more to try and connect with Skoko more. It makes it clear that the reason we don't see much of her personality is because Shoya doesn't know all that much himself. It brings up a good question about the nature of friendship, and why he keeps trying to befriend her despite knowing almost nothing about who she is or what she likes.
@@ScamboliReviews cool

Shaman Xeed just checked out your latest video and you start off with a bunch of whining and complaining, yet you’re also claiming you make good content. Sorry bro, but I don’t believe in you.
This guy gave me what I came here for. You didn’t.
I watched it in a discord group of like 12 ppl. Was really good hearing other people's reactions as well as discussing over certain parts that were impactful. We had a mute girl in the call who uses tts to talk and she had similar experiences in school that traumatized her even well into adulthood and still to today. She told us how she would have dreams about being able to speak to people because her classmates would act like she didn't exist since she couldn't make any vocal sounds. This made her want to be noticed. Pretty similar to shouko story in almost every way which made the movie hit 10x harder than it would for someone who has no reference in real life to compare to.
Back at it again with the hits. My god man its a masta piece. I like the fact you can spice up the format and still be fire. cuz u got the stuff man the special hot sauce! I find it helps to see what your fans like about the video so... I like your overall writing, jokes, actually understanding what makes anime good(weak man becomes strong, asshole becomes nice guy, when a comedy becomes serious, character development), jokes regarding older anime(grape man, dude from Neverland), music along with timing with your words. you gonna be huge
I’m so glad that you talked about A Silent Voice, bro. It is hands down my favorite movie and there isn’t a single day that I don’t think about it. God that sounds so lame.

Holy shit man your reviews put me in such a good mood. The way you incorporate comedy, while being able to give out your point of view, is like reliving the anime in different eyes which is so refreshing.
Favorite anime movie
Edit: I just watched “I want to eat your pancreas” and “your name” and I still stand by this statement. Both are very good. But honestly gotta say I think that “Your name” isn’t as good as I thought it would be. “Eat your pancreas” was pretty good but I was told I was gonna cry yet I never did. Still I cried for this one and as I said I stand by my statement, though I would have changed the ending. I felt it was left hanging. What can I say I’m an emotional guy and I like happy endings and would’ve loved to see them get together.
Fun fact: Music composer for the soundtrack is the same that did space dandy and crybaby

Will you do a review on Mob Psycho 100? You're very good at bringing up important points and laying them out in depth! I was nodding my head furiously throughout the whole video, namely when you brought up character flaws and praised the animation and composition of the scenes/music. I haven't seen that many reviews on Mob Psycho 100, which I consider a more-than-what's-on-the-surface series and I'd love to see you covering it whether it's in a positive or negative light!
I think you feel like Shoko doesnt have a personality is because, she doesnt speak that much, The Voice is an important part of making a out a persons personality and i Think The lack of her voice makes it Harder to make a connection, therefore making her Seem a little shallow at times.
Still my all time favorite anime till this day, I can't say enough good things about A Silent Voice. If you haven't seen it yet, please... do it, it's an unforgettable ride of emotions.
Have you checked out the manga?

You seem the most down to earth and considerate anituber I've watched so far. You always take into account details about shows that could affect people in certain ways depending on their personality, and stuff about the show that truly shows its quality. I'm hella down to have a day I can call "weekly scamboli vid day" like I do on fridays with fireforce or jojo (coincidentally, dd productions makes good friday shows). You seem to look at comments a lot and are very experimental, so I thought I'd also mention that despite how well visualized your videos are, you don't seem to know a whole lot about how important visual design like storyboards or character designs are, or how difficult they are to keep up with. I might be a bit biased in that regard being an animator, character designer and storyboarder, but to me that lack of knowledge for that side of the industry kind of stands out when your videos themselves are so cohesive and well visualized. That said, I hope you actually see this day late comment, cause you've been like my fav youtuber lately.
Great job on this video I loved the chowder joke and you mentions some stuff I hadn’t even noticed. Exited for next weeks video keep up the awesome job. 😊😊
I actually think it’s cool how some of the characters are still unchanged by the end. Everyone in this movie is flawed or has fucked up in some way, and I like how this movie doesn’t force everyone to overcome all that and be perfect by the end, like a lot of movies do. It specifically says in the case of the tall girl’s character that there is still time to grow and change, and so we have to give people the time they need to mature and better themselves. I feel like it also speaks to the fact that it’s okay to enjoy the company of people who are sometimes assholes. It’s pretty clear that by the end, most of the relationships still aren’t solid, and they’ll probably have more fights in the future like they did in the movie, and that’s okay. That’s how life is. And I appreciate that choice
Hello person who wrote a comment 2 years ago. Okay, sure, I'll give you a point that it IS a bold decision and a realistic one. But you can't expect to make a movie where 2 major characters do oopsies and fuck-ups throughtout and face little no NO CONSEQUENCES by the end and everything is a-okay and "suuuuure I was not one of main reasons you attempted suicide or anything". People will get pissed off. I sure was. Shoya faces consequences, he grows and changes to a better person because of those consequences. That is some great character development. Yet in the same movie you have 2 characthers that go unpunished, forgiven and left under no sorta of check despite their actions. That tilts me.
@@Firescizor Hello, I appreciate the reply. It just doesn’t make sense thematically though. Think about what caused Shoya to initially contemplate suicide. It’s because he was isolated and nobody was able to forgive him. Should we really wish for a similar attitude towards characters like ueno and kawai?
The main issue I have is your claim that there were no consequences when that is not true at all. Shoko’s suicide attempt (and Shoya’s injury by proxy) WAS the consequence, and we can see how badly it affected the people who hurt her. I’ll grant that Ueno’s remorse is hard to detect given her 1. Initial reaction and lashing out from Shoya getting hurt and 2. Her inability to express feelings of remorse (this is shown to be the case earlier in the movie and at the end), however we KNOW that she knows someone she deeply cares about nearly died because of her actions. If that’s not a consequence I don’t know what is, and it’s clear that she is slowly making strides to avoid situations like that in the future. Hope this explanation de-tilts you lol
I have heard the same complaints a lot and I think your explanation here is really good. I agree soo soooo much. One of the main themes of the movie is forgiveness and that's what the end of the movie is about. Forgiving and accepting each other's flaws and living with them. Shoya and Shoko learn so much and transform by the end, but not every character does or needs to. It's so much more realistic to me that way. There are people in this world like Ueno or Kawai that really refuse to change (at least not fully) and that can be hard to watch sometimes, but it honestly made me enjoy the movie more overall. Thanks for sharing your thoughts; it's good to know that others feel the same way about this amazing film.
@@Trail_Blazer they refuse to change their... personality "flaws", let's say. In real life, I would stop being friends with those people that wronged me. Specially to the point of me contemplating/attempt suicide!! Since Shoya and Shoko are clearly torn apart people that have deep issues in terms of social connections and sense of self worth, that still have much to learn despite the good positive point the film ended on, I simply cannot ignore the fact they are in a toxic friendship relationship with Ueno and Kawai. At least I perceive it that way...
@@Firescizor I recently talked to an old friend and he reminded me of something that happened almost 20 years ago in high school.
I was part of a group who bullied a kid. I never thought of it that way. I was like "it was just a prank, dude".
Now, I understand what it was, at least in theory... BUT, I still don't feel bad about it, I just feel bad about not feeling bad...
I don't know why. Maybe doing something as part of a group takes away your feeling of personal responsibility.

I been knew, just couldn't find the right place to introduce that information naturally
Just wanted to say, I'm really liking the new format! You said you're still experimenting, but it felt really natural to me. Loved the video, keep up the good work!
As someone who's childhood was very similar to Shoko's to the point i can't watch this movie without curling up into a ball and sobbing like a bitch. That constant fear to be yourself lives with you the rest of your life. The hurt from the rejection you felt is so terrifying that you don't ever want to take the risk of reliving it. So you just do things that will try to get people to leave you alone. She sees herself as useless and nothing but a burden to the people around her, so having someone who is actually interested in what the real her is like has a lot of work to do to even begin to get there. It's the most accurate depiction of someone who was bullied i've ever seen, and it makes me scared to ever revisit this film because it immerses me back into those horrific years of my life.
"Phil from the promised land" That got me pretty good
This may be because I also read the manga so my experience with the character maybe have been expanded on but I believe Ueno thinking so much about their experience in elementary school is justified. It wasn’t just an experience it was the experience that shaped their lives after into what it became so of course she’s stuck on the past. It’s so easy to get obsessed over if questions and she can’t help but think about what could have been if just one thing had changed in her and her friends lives. Especially for an emotional immature teenage girl who is looking for something or someone to blame.
And as for the happy friends sort of ending with no development, again I don’t know if it’s also just cuz I read the manga but it wasn’t just that. It ended with all of them accepting their flaws admitting them being honest with each other even if it was about having problems with one another Shoya bringing up that he wants their relationship to continue that their arguments are apart of what makes a friendship and that’s what’s important is that they do it together and are able to come back together and accept each other.
Idk bro, regardless 18 is too old to be acting up about elementary school. I remember in the 7th grade my friend stole my girlfriend and by Freshman year (age 13-14) I was like "come on bro, we were kids that shit doesn't matter" 😭.
Yeah an Ueno apologist! She's the best, she's just really easy to misunderstand and prone to burst out. She's kind of the antithesis to Shouko. Honest, direct and brash. Ueno does have her flaws, recognizes them and hates them, but unlike Shouko she's prepared to face them on and keep on trying to be the best at her convictions.
@@ScamboliReviews But there's a difference between having a expectation of how people SHOULD be behaving at a certain age and what reality demonstrates. Trust me dude; it's not as simple as: "18 year-olds wouldn't be hung up on things that happened so long ago, ergo, this kind of drama is not organic or realistic;" That outlook does not accurately reflect the truth as it completely dismisses underlying factors playing a role in how people are still affected by conflicts in their past or are lacking the mental capability, training or maturity to process through them. These factors include but not restricted to: a person's particular temperament; their personality types, the context of the incident, whether or not the incident is still relevant in their lives, whether or not the person has had closure about the incident, the societal norms of a particular culture, etc. Ueno's impulse to bully Shoko once she sees her again, as well as blaming her for why the group split is a reflection of her own personality issues, not bad or unrealistic character writing. She's still affected by this non-trivial elementary school conflict because she's aware of how her betrayal of Shouya affected him in middle school. She knows about the shit Shouya has been through and she blames that on herself; but as the cognitive dissonance is too much for her to bare, she displaces her self-loathing on Shoko instead. Notice any of the factors i previously listed? For Ueno, the cascading effects of the elementary school fallout are still prevalent in her life; and since her personality type makes it difficult for her to effectively process emotions of guilt and remorse, she responds the way she does. In addition, Japanese culture tends to promote more repression of emotions, this is going to be the inevitable result. A silent voice isn't just about a deaf girl and a guy who wants to atone for the shit he's done; it's also about looking at the social paradigms of Japanese culture, the tendencies of this culture's social mechanics to exacerbate issues of bullying, and how the culture goes about dealing with people who "stick out" through the ostracizing of those who are different. It's a slight observation on how these social paradigms can leave lasting marks on individuals, and how those marks can remain permanent unless these individuals are able to find personal acceptance and heal through strengthening their ties with their loved ones.
Just like your anecdotal example, I know quite a few people who've held grudges against others since Elementary School! Things like: "Oh I hate that bitch; she used to bully me all the time back in elementary school," or "this dude stole my middle school crush in the 7th grade so I don't fuck with him." The process of getting over shit in life (or towards your point, in early adolescence) is waaaaaaay more complex than what you're making it out to be. Hey, maybe you were capable of forgiving the guy who stole your gf in middle school, but you have to consider the factors that were at play that probably allowed you to make that decision. From the way you responded to this guy, it sounds like the effects of the gf theft weren't prevalent enough in your life during you transition into high school; and through this, we can assume that your personality plus the you having found closure about the conflict in some way. Perhaps you realized that if a chick is going to go off with your best friend like that, then she wasn't someone worth building a relationship with (As if you knew what went into building a meaningful relationship anyway :D ). Maybe more important things grabbed your attention and before you know it, your boy having stole your girl is the least of your worries. Anyway, good video. I just found your reasoning behind not vibing wth Ueno's character as being detached from what is actually reality
@@ScamboliReviews uhhh…yah that’s weird
Look, I get it when you say "shouko doesn't have a personality" but she is deaf. she is unable to express her feelings well due to the constant bullying and her inability to hear.
Your videos are the best part of my Saturdays
I watched it recently and I cried at the last part. I almost teared up at other parts of the movie and held it in, but I got punched in the face with the last scene and I cried because it hurt and because it was just so fucking beautiful. It's that good.
Subtitle: [Music]
That one character in Silent Voice:
i saw what you did there in the title
lmao approved
😂👌🔥💯💯
5:40 I can understand where you're coming from, because it does seem that way, but I know people who are deaf and they seem that way in real life too. A lot of the time they havent really had enough human interaction to "properly" formulate some of the general back and forths that are integral to societal communication. Or at the very least, its very difficult for them to express their thoughts and opinions to people who don't know sign language, and so a lot of the time they can seem distant, and not like real people. I personally think that whether the studio intended that perspective or not, it came through to me, and really emphasized the loneliness which shoko felt, along with making me really care about her when she does THE THING(no spoilers) in the climax of the movie. To me, I thought that shoko's characterization was very good, and her personality was forthright but subtle (I realize that probably sounds retarded and meaningless, but its the best way I can think to describe it.). Though I completely agree with the analysis of the friend group at large. Also its like 2 years later but i just watched this movie recently so here we are
I agree mostly although personally i loved shouko. to me she had a personality but that's mainly because i found myself relating to her a lot. even though i'm not deaf i was able to understand her thought process pretty well. I struggle with apologizing too much and constantly worry about being a burden to others. so i felt like i was able to see myself in her character. and even though her reason for struggling with communication is different then mine I completely know what it feels like to want to communicate but not being able to. she doesn't have a over the top personality and i think its harder to convey due to her not being able to speak but to me she is a really big comfort character. ive never really come across a character like her that ive had such a strong connection with. i might have a different opinion because i read the manga which gave all the characters a lot more depth so who knows. but to me she had a pretty great personality and went through her own growth as well.
I remembered when I watched this movie and it got me depressed for like week. Anyway keep it up 😘
Amazing work and analysis as always. A silent movie is my favorite movie only after redline, and its good to see someone dissect its flaws and open my eyes to these issues. You stated the flaws in a really good and concise way that made sense, a very hard thing to do. keep it up, you're wonderful
You gave me nam flashbacks with that brief shadow of the colossus soundtrack at the end there
"Watch this movie with friends" I cried for like 10 minutes towards the end. Definitely should not watch it unless you're alone. It just struck one of those emotional notes, and wouldn't be easy to hide
I had to pause the movie and just sob for like 15 minutes at the ferris wheel scene. As i'm curled up in the fetal position just basically having a PTSD episode my roommate gets home and walks in on this. As i look like i just lost my first child in a car crash he calming asks what the fuck? So just told him the movie and that it was too well done for its own good.
Title Translation: A Silent Voice is too perfect for you.
i can honestly see why everyone loves it so much,the art and quality is amazing and it really shows what you say does hurt and have a big impact on people,and the characters have there own personal problems
I love this more experimental and wacky format
good vid
Shouko not having a personality kind of makes sense in the context of the story though. It's pretty standard in people who have been bullied their whole life that they just sort of withdraw and don't really express emotions as well. Through Shouko's whole life she's felt like her deafness was a problem for other people so it makes sense that she's more withdrawn and apologetic towards people.
the "Phil" type character always make an anime feel wholesome
This is the only honest, self-aware video I’ve seen on this fucking movie. Glad to know you’re in a similar headspace. The script gets way too messy and melodramatic for a work that focuses on serious issues like suicide. But I had fun and I feel like you did too. What a weird wold we live in... Anyways, props to you! Subbed ;)
Lol gotta love this guy’s content. Please keep them coming and stay true to your style. As your channel grows you will get many from the PC police to thumb down and write negative comments but keep at it. Your humor is gold.
Scamboli: “Miki and Naoka are assholes”
Me: Okay, sure, most people feel that wa-
Scamboli: “Shoko has no personality”
Me: “Oooooh I’m ticked off, but I can overlook it because it’s explained in the man-“
Scamboli: “3 out of 5”
Me: *“I KILL YOU!”*
There have only been two times I've ever cried before the ending of a show/movie. The first was Angel Beats (Fuck you Angel Beats) and the second was this one. The scene where Shoya gets slapped on the bridge made me cry so damn hard, because he didn't even try to defend himself. His body language reacts more like a recoil, or a, "Get ready for what's coming," rather than a, "I have to cover my face, so she doesn't slap me again." It's like he gave up on his own self-worth, and now there's just someone reminding him of how bad he really is, just to drive the point home.
After watching numerous of your reviews, I just felt so very much compelled to say this to you... your voice sounds just so soothing and balanced (I wish I had more accurate words for this description) as you talk and review a particular anime. I don't want to sound weird or anything, I just really wanted to finally say this. You should really be a voice actor. I hope you don't mind my commentary. Have a nice day. Lol. XD
Your videos are awesome man. Keep up.
The manga solves a lot of problems you mentioned.
do the blond and black hair get redeemed or nah
i feel like Shouko not having a personality was pretty realistic she was always alone and didnt know how to act with another person she felt distant because of her being deaf
the intro to the video was one of the best effing intros I have ever seen haha
Love your videos bro, keep up the good shit
You know it’s good when he throwing up gang signs.
4:00 You misunderstood. That girl has been in love with Shouya ever since elementary school and when Nishimiya joined their class she lost his attention, because he was busy bullying Nishimiya. Later on Shouya was bullied because he hurt Nishimiya. In that girl's mind Nishimiya was the cause of Shouya becoming a social outcast so she wants to take revenge. His accident was caused by Nishimiya as well. This is the reason why she is so mean to Nishimiya. There were plenty of subtle signs indicating this premise ever since the beginning.
You’re so right. This would be a great movie to rewatch with friends
damn dude i already subbed stop being so funnee
Shoko's personality is defined by her adversity dealing with her disability and still trying to put on a happy face. And also being constantly afraid that something is going to make the people around her dislike her, and she's depressed because she has to bottle up all of her real emotions. All of that's there it's just under the skin.
"silent voice is better than your name"
Change my mind.
I will not, because you are 100% correct
there is nothing to change
Yeah basically
*The manga was 7 volumes...* _squeezed into 2 hours._ There was a lot that was taken out. I would've fit better as a series than a film.

It definently makes more sense and carries more meaning to those who have been through it. Like.. suicidal peoples logic is bad, but that’s because your reasoning can be so obscured by your hate for yourself and your life. The way shouko apologized all the time in order to not be a burden (but became a greater burden by bottling her emotions) and the way shou was dissociating, the way he never cried until the end of the movie when he realized there were plenty of reasons to keep on living makes perfect sense, it showed me these things from a different perspective (again maybe I was projecting my own emotions into the characters and it isn’t that deep)
Best piece of anime I've ever consumed, period. I personally loved the characters and Shoko as well, her personality is revealed later on and I can definitely feel the characterization in her - she just is very shy and reserved at first. But hey, different strokes for different folks, I respect your opinion.
how the frick are you in my recommendation every time you posted one minute later
i binged watched many of your videos after this one and i just want to say that i have feelings for you because you actually like dont just see the animes you like as holy scripts you can see their problems and yet still enjoy it and bro thats cool as hell
You have f-feelings for me? 😳 It's not like I like u or anything b-baka 😳
@@ScamboliReviews b-bro, senpai noticed me!!!
love your videos man, started watching Gurren Lagann and Devil is a part timer cause of your videos. can you review some anime like: From the new world, Inuyashiki, when they cry, perfect blue, Monster, Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans? I would love to get your take on them.
I relate a lot to the main character. Not when he was a bully but how he was unfairly outcasted by everyone causing him to close up to the people around him. It's a very heart warming movie and I watched it with my younger siblings but I'm the only one who actually cried.
Same. I wasn't a bully, actually I had to switch schools because of bullying. I was unfairly outcast though. One day I had friends and then someone blamed me for something I didn't do. To this day I don't know what it was because everyone just stopped talking to me and I didn't make another friend for 3 years.
Watched it loved it.
The soundtrack-15: lit was amazing
na man loving this style keep it going if you can!!
Dude... you're a saint with these comedy reviews.
I've actually watched a silent voice I didn't cry but worst...
I actually kept thinking about it the whole day specially when nothing happened at the end(they could at least hug each other!!!)and so I convinced my mom to watch it when she finally agreed and at the end of the movie she said''that is Ssoo bad because the movie is so silent"i was like surprised because that is the reason it's called SILENT VOICE!!!!!!besides that when I watched it for the second time (with my mom) it got even worst I started seeing life so black idk why... But now I just got through it not100% but if they held hands and hug each other I'm sure it will be better!
(Besides it's my favorite movie for now)
Woah, post notifications gang
Gang gang
You have a point... I can't really relate to all the criticism but really nice video, the format is very entertaining.
I am just one person on this planet, but I wanted you to know - I love your channel.
