This Movie is One of the best anime films made it is grounded in reality and that's what makes it Sooo beautiful it is relatable, Forgiveness is free of charge also seeking redemption is always possible it's never too late
Yyyyyyyeah...I ugly cried through this film. The story is a BEAUTIFULLY crafted story about the loss of childhood innocence, the round robin of bullying and how childhood trauma stays with everyone. I CANNOT recommend this film enough.
Exactly. It’s great at making everyone feel like fully fleshed out characters and presenting us with all their views, especially with how the protagonists faced their traumas. Thanks for watching the video!
My dad, a war veteran who NEVER cries. BAWLED his eyes out watching this. I've watched this film OVER and OVER with my friends ALL of them have ugly cried at this movie and it changed their life.
Now show them. “I want to eat your pancreas” or “let me eat your pancreas” the name is weird as fuck, but you’ll get it while watching the movie, the ending is heartbreaking
@@pezequilibradohace5anos538 Actually I think I found that movie when I wanted to watch silent voice. It was on youtube and was titled a silent voice but it wasn't it. So idk...why do people do this.
Ok, I must admit that the scene where Shoko yells that she's trying her best made me cry really hard. It wasn't the last time and if you've watched the film, you know this. It took me 3 times watching this film before I found one of the most beautiful scenes in this movie. It was when Shoya's mother went to meet Shoko's mother to offer her money as payment for Shoya destroying Shoko's hearing aid. Instead of accepting money, Shoko's mother signaled that they should talk farther away. The next time we see Shoya's mother is when she meets back up with Shoya and tells him that he shouldn't be acting like this anymore. What is easy to miss is that it looks like her earing was ripped out leaving her bleeding just like Shoko was when Shoya ripped out her hearing aid. That's just such a perfect scene that says so much in such a short time without speaking a single word.
@@goateddon4595 Don't think so, I think she may have not had enough money to pay it off so she had to take it out and give it to her to sell to make up the rest of it and fucked it up while doing so? That's how I interpreted it.
@@goateddon4595 i think its done as an eye for an eye type of thing. since Shoya ripped out Shoko's hearing aid and made her bleed, Shoko's mom does the same to Shoya's mom with her earring
"How we are all different, but we are actually the same." Brilliance, a review that can properly express the main tone of this movie. One that is hard to describe.
I checked the one star reviews for this movie and most were complaining about how it was 2 hours long but honestly when I watched it I was glad that it was 2 hours I just couldn’t get enough of it.
@Ferrer Twins Well if you want at least one scene of hand holding then read the manga, however it does not confirm they are together but I believe they are since they made a promise to help each other live. The manga also tells you a little bit of what happens after the ending of the movie and it also has a lot of extra content that the movie did not show.
When I first watched this I realized I related so much to Ishida than I had thought. When I was younger I was a bully of a kid, I was terrible and as time went on I slowly became more depressed to the point of having to get therapy for it. I was much more aggressive with someone I knew as a kid and as we began spending more time together we essentially saw each other as family. Once I realized all of this I just cried and cried. A Silent Voice is a beautiful movie
I couldn't agree more, sadly I took it the next level and almost ended it cus of the ptsd I was left from bullying so much as a kid, that's why I try and save people from ending it xus u never k ow if there might be some good in ur life
I like how in the movie they showed the bond between shoko and her sister and how her sister knew she was suicidal and sent shoya to go get the camera and watch over shoko resulting in shoko still being alive
When I first watched this, it was 2am and I couldn’t sleep. I got on Netflix and turned it on. I lasted at least 6 minutes before I started bawling, at the scene where Shoko asked Shoya to be friends at the play ground.
I can't really say the same bc I find that to be unrealistic unless you have a very small pool but I cried a lot. But honestly I didn't feel sad as much as I felt happy and fulfilled, seeing a depressed man, overwhelmed by guilt who can't even look people in the face and believes the world would be better off without him, and a bullied girl, who blames herself for the stuff others did to her because she just wants them to accept her as a person and later hating herself for other people's shortcomings that in a way involve her, finding each other again and becoming friends is down right heart warming.
in the japanese title, they use the "voice" character with 聲 instead of 声 (which we usually use). I would put reasons on why this is fantastic, but honestly, all i can say is that it's super fancy.
I have to say the balcony scene is absolutely amazing when Ishida sees her and runs into the chair he calls out to her he doesn’t care about manners he doesn’t care about her disability and doesn’t care that she wont be able to hear him because she was the first person to make him feel alive in years and she will hear him in his heart and the moment he catches her hand and save her from everything she’s ever hated and catches her hand like he failed to do time and time again in the past honestly this film is a work of art and this is one of the best scenes in it
I had cried for this movie like three times and i had seen this movie the last week but till this movie's one scene makes me cry again , I really want it's part to come cause this movie has got a great change I would really like to see their adult story too of Shoya and Shoko
I’ve recently seen this movie and have been gushing over it ever since. This is a criminally underrated analysis and it should definitely have more views. Great analysis for my favourite piece of film ever!
Wow, amazing review. I never saw a review that is so good. I really hope you will get really big on TH-cam make please more reviews:) Greetings from Germany
One of the many aspects I connected with the most in this film is how bullying can affect someone and subject the victim into self blame, something that affected me during my teen years. I wanted to focus on this aspect while making this video, but didn't want to showcase this personal experience in the video itself, so I'm writing it here now, just to add more insight to this video analysis.

Like so many others cried my eyes out watching this... Like ugly cry. Love this movie and manga so much. Just stunning animation, amazing soundtrack. The manga goes in-depth with the characters more but the movie is true to the manga.
I love this movie. 100/10. I saw it yesterday, and have fallen in love with it. No tears were shed, but they were there. I am mad at myself that I didn't cry while watching this. And that tHe bOsS bAbY got THE OSCAR FOR BEST ANIMATED PICTURE OF 2017 INSTEAD OF THIS!
I sit there feeling that self loathing and it brings back all the things I’ve been through. Just counting down the days until the end. It’s a beautiful pain, if that makes sense
I bawled my eyes out when reading the manga and watching the movie. I could relate with both Shoko and Ishida. In elementary school, I got bullied a lot, but also turned a blind eye when an (ex)friend got bullied as well. During high school I was suffering from sever depression and social anxiety, and I was the social outcast. I believed it was karma for what I didn't do: speak up for my friend. But discovering Silent Voice made me see that it was okay for me to be more confident, love and forgive myself.
This is my favorite review of A Silent Voice among those I watched. Your review comforted me like how the movie itself comforted me. Thank you~ looking forward to your future videos! I hope your videos reach more people!
I watched this for the first time a few days ago and the last part made me cry because he finally excepts that people care and can let himself be happy.
the most beautiful anime out there- in all aspects, the story, the animation, the character development, the themes portrayed... amazing and beautiful and the fact that you can relate to some of the characters at some point is what makes me feel this anime like it's home.
Everytime, I mean everytime I see Ishida tear up I can feel my heart crumble and my tears swell up in my eyes. I feel all the pain he have gone through just by looking at his face. And that reason alone is why the movie is a true masterpiece. The best anime I have ever watched. I'm so glad the people who decided to do this movie made this movie. And I'm so happy I've watched it.
excellent video essay. There are truly so many great videos discussing many aspects of the film and manga. I think you did great talking about how each character feels real and important to the story. I myself am in the process of making my own analysis of the story and this video has inspired me to work harder each day. I want to watch your other videos and I know if they are anything like this, it will be great. I also loved your editing :) truly great video!
Thanks! Really appreciate all the feedback. I try my best especially when it comes to editing and pacing. This one was a treat to do since it deals with so much character development from so many different angles. I wish you all the best with your videos. It's great when more people can convey their feelings about something they love.
Bruh ur review is the best that I can find for this movie. I was surprised when I didn't cry or feel sad when I watched the movie but instead I felt happy that in the end both shoya and shoko where able to recover and talk to people.. Ur review helped me understand the movie better .. thanks
I love this movie and I've watched it around 20 times and I'm going to show it to my friends and family and I hope you will to and also this movie made me cry and I've never cried from any show before the only time I cried was when tecnoblade died so yes please watch it and tell your friends
Wth??? Dude after watching that video I was just shocked to see that this channel isn’t a 3 million one, like how??You are very underrated my guy. The quality this video contains its hugely better from bigger channels like yours.Hope you succeed on it. Stay fine!
I absolutely love movies like A Silent Voice and 5 cm per second. It is because there are almost no fantasy elements in these movies. It is just learning about the reality of life.
Relatable tjings in the movie Getting bullied Cringing from when you were once a bully Friends Do I have friends? All your friends blame you for something big All your friends blame you for something big but yoi tell the teacher they also participated but the teacher didn't believ Ok read this page 45 and answer page 48 quiz will be tomorrow you must study Riding bike Social distancing Shy I'm sorry Being a special kid Talking to your friends about who participated in bullying/making trouble but one of them picks a fight Slap slap slap back slap punch ow slap back instead of punch punch again now punches AAAAAA boxing match except it breaks at least 10 rules Bullying
There is something uniquely satisfying about having something described in exactly the right way. I think that feeling comes from the resonance between the idea in my head and yours. It's the mind saying "yes, that's exactly it!" I am very impressed by how strongly the last minute of this script resonates with the message of the film.
Slice of life anime will surely get a huge spotlight i never watched a slice of life anime but after i watched my first slice of life anime (Wonder Egg Priority) made me look after more of these and.. Yesterday.. I found this masterpiece.
Every character in this anime is so unique and realistic... like you cannot expect what he/she shall act like unlike most animes where it's easily predictable. Totally awesome
This movie was so accurate that I thought wow, it punched me out of my shoes this anime changed my live, I'm so thankful for that genere even than when I cry my eyes out of my head.
I've been furloughed on and off for a year now and the only emotion i thought i could feel was anger. I recognised this as unhealthy so deliberately watched things to get an emotional response. I found and watched Your Name, Weathering With You, Anohana, K-On, and the other day watched Silent Voice followed by I Want To Eat Your Pancreas. I've never cried so much in my life and i'm a hairy arsed bloke. Thank you for recognising the impact these masterpiece's have.
Ever since watching this movie, I changed my perspective on the world. It may have only had a small change in who I am and who I can be from my current state, but who I want to be and how I am to others has since changed forever. A silence voice, from the amazing and heartwarming sound track, to the animation, voice acting and overall purpose, it is a beautiful experience.
Dude ima be brutally honest too all u guys, I related too the main dude cus everything he did is exactly the same things I did except bully I deaf girl as a kid, instead I used too bully kids who were under my level, looking back at it today I can't think straight enymore and I have ptsd from it when someone tries too be nice too me, I absolutely hated my past I felt like I couldn't change it, so instead I tried ending it, but failed to do so cus I was afraid, so I decided not too and try and shape my life, thankfully I am still doing so, so now I hope it gets better from here. This is a message who is trying to take the easy way out because of there past, it's not worth it cus there is always sum u might miss that could have helped, don't end it bud!
Amazing video, the last part was very close to home. I did not know i needed to watch this film this much, i will for ever love this film and it's beautiful message.
Amazing critique of this amazing film! I've found the creators at Kyoto Animation to be some of the best at visually communicating a narrative in the best possible ways we can get. What I loved about A Silent Voice is the narrative utilizing the plot technique of the "tragic hero" - Seeing Shoya starting out at the top of his prestige, then falls from grace in the eyes of his peers and then we see him atoning for his sins to finish the story a better person. And there's just so much more brilliance to the story that makes A Silent Voice one of the greats in storytelling today. 👏👏👏👏
This film, Your name and Anohana changed forever my taste regarding to anime. Before watching them I almost only had watch series like Fate/Zero, Steins;Gate, FMA... I'm a 39 years old dude and this was like 2 or 3 years ago. Now some of my absolute favorite animes ever are Fruits Basket (2019), A place further than the universe, March comes in like a lion, Your lie in April...
I found this movie to be the type of movie that spoke to me on an emotional level, when Shoko was telling Shoya about how if she thought she disappeared everything would be fine or the scene when Shoko is saying I’m sorry to shoya’s mum really got to me, as I had a friend that tried to take an overdose (she didn’t die, she just moved schools and I haven’t kept in contact since the day before the attempt) and a 2 friends that cut themselves everyday to the point were I have to get the razors from pencil sharpeners of of them and chuck them in the bin to stop them really made me realise how sad that made me feel, which is why I love this movie so much, it reminds me of myself and the people around me. I can relate to Nagatsuka by being that naive friend, or Shoya by being the kid that was once pretty well off in Primary or Whatever it is in a different county and then being the kid that’s picked in by everyone. And then having to start from the ground up later on to make new friends. This movie is also what inspires me to be better and to work on my writing/screenwriting skills cause I don’t have a lot of time left until school ends for me. I cry literally every time I watch this movie, goddamn it’s good Edit: also realised I could relate to Shoya by having a former friend be a prick to you
I already feel like I can relate to the protagonist's struggles. Being born with Autism, even though I am high functioning, I was often ostracized, pigeonholed from the rest of my age group by peers and adults alike merely due to my diagnosis. I was expected to work harder and behave more strictly than the others simply because of my label, while the rest of them got off scot-free. Many of my social skills camps and special education classes were disorderly and dysfunctional, as many of the teachers there were unqualified, unskilled, and neglectful, as they expected us Autists (and other Neurodivergents) to figure things out on our own though we were still kids, rather than taking responsibility themselves for our development. I was conditioned to be self-conscious of my mental disorder, and overly caring about what others think of me in the name of self-improvement. I was taught that if I was disliked or mistreated, that I was doing something socially unacceptable. In a manner of speaking, I was set up to fail in my youth. In 10th grade, I was bullied for my Autism relentlessly. They called me a retard day in and day out. They used my Autism as a scapegoat to blame me for their problems, as an excuse for them to to target me, saying that it was my Autism that started it, and gaslighted me that my Autism was making me hallucinate their abuse. Whenever I went to the adults for help, the bullies would usually say, "He doesn't know what he's talking about, he's a retard." Whenever I did something kind, they'd punish me for it. Whenever I did something self-destructive, they'd commend me for it. Whenever I did something acceptable, they'd try to persuade me that it was socially unacceptable and so forth. Up was down, black was white, good was bad, day was night. I was questioning my sanity, my moral compass, my judgement, my mentality, and my memory. Even when they sexually assaulted me in the showers, the adults took no measure to bring them to justice. In fact, the adults did NOTHING, no matter how much I begged and cried to them for help. Rather than taking responsibility and addressing the situation head on, they'd only ask me what I could do to improve the situation without their help. In my case, it was nothing; I could only avoid them. But since I was at a boarding school in the middle of the woods, I had nowhere else to go. These kids were unhinged, if anything the adults were afraid of them. One of them threatened to kill me and another nearly broke my door down to steal my guitar. They even took advantage of the adults own mental illness, like when the art teacher was back from maternity leave, they use her mood swings to get her to side with them and blame me for their own problems. But the worst thing they did, but blackmail my only friend there to betray me, just like Kaworu. I was very suicidal that year, and wished I was never born. To this day, I still suffer PTSD from being psychologically abused by my peers and staff alike. Even as an adult, I was still mistreated by fellow adults. I can't help but feel paranoid that some people are out to get me, as I've been stalked, doxed, and threatened to be hunted down and killed by people online who wished me grievous harm since Lockdown. I want to watch this anime, but I am afraid of being triggered and spiraling into a relapse. Can anyone help?
My opinion on the scene where Shoyo first meets Shoko during high school to return the book is that Shoko runs because she feels regret. She feels regret because (in her mind) it was her who caused Shoyo to be bullied by other students. Remember, in the whole movie Shoyo blames herself whenever something bad happens around her. This feeling goes back all the way when her father divorced her mother for giving birth to her, a deaf child.
That could very well be true. I didn't think this scene was very important to explaining the characters and only thought that she simply didn't want to deal with people from her past because she left them and having them come back, she wouldn't be moving on and living her life like she was, and instead having to come back to a time where she was not happy.
This is one of the most relatable movies that relates to me..... all the things that shouko nishimiya goes through that happened to me .... I'm disabled....I can't walk so.... that's why I relate 😊💖
@@KazeTalks No thank you... for the last couple of days I've on my feelings because of this movie. I honestly didn't know how much this movie would connect to all the bad moments I had growing up and all the isolation I felt too from others only because I wasn't able to fit in. In turn, I felt more depressed about my life, but yet at the same time, it shined a light on how I too can keep walking down this dark tunnel that its life and towards a brighter future filled with prosperity, happiness, and opportunities. Maybe somewhere along there I too will find someone special to walk alongside. Thank you again for this review really made me reflect on this movie that will now forever be my favorite anime/manga and something I'll watch over and over. Keep up the work bro!!
This was a great read, thanks for sharing! I’m really happy that the review and especially the film resonated with you. Wish you all the best in the future 🙂
this movie was so emotional it makes me look at life differently
You could say it... hits different 👀
Facts
@@KazeTalks Or you could say... it represents life, at a hard time in life
This Movie is One of the best anime films made it is grounded in reality and that's what makes it Sooo beautiful it is relatable, Forgiveness is free of charge also seeking redemption is always possible it's never too late
That is what happens when you watch two people attempt to commit suicide
Yyyyyyyeah...I ugly cried through this film.

You should watch clannad and clannad afterstory too if you haven’t already

I even wished it would've been longer..
I enjoyed watching it. I never enjoyed an Anime movie as much as i liked this one
They are right though, it should of lasted forever
i wished it could have been longer i also wanted to see the development of ishida and nishimiya or at least hug each other

I like how in the movie they showed the bond between shoko and her sister and how her sister knew she was suicidal and sent shoya to go get the camera and watch over shoko resulting in shoko still being alive
This movie broke me
The memories I have made with this movie are beyond incredible.

When I first watched this, it was 2am and I couldn’t sleep. I got on Netflix and turned it on. I lasted at least 6 minutes before I started bawling, at the scene where Shoko asked Shoya to be friends at the play ground.
The amount of tears I have produced by watching this film could fill up a pool.
I can't really say the same bc I find that to be unrealistic unless you have a very small pool but I cried a lot. But honestly I didn't feel sad as much as I felt happy and fulfilled, seeing a depressed man, overwhelmed by guilt who can't even look people in the face and believes the world would be better off without him, and a bullied girl, who blames herself for the stuff others did to her because she just wants them to accept her as a person and later hating herself for other people's shortcomings that in a way involve her, finding each other again and becoming friends is down right heart warming.
Seriously though, who else cried at the same time when Ishida was in the school walking through the corridors crying at the end?
When I saw him fall off the balcony I lost it and just cried
Watched this movie 2 and a half times in the past 2 days and probably gonna continue after this
Go for it! The film definitely deserves multiple viewings.
Watched it 4 times in 15 hours get on my lvl
Kaze: Anime is not a genre
Netflix: Wait it's not?
This made me laugh quite a bit 😂
It's one of the most realistic and beautiful anime movie I have seen so far ❤️
This anime is an utter masterpiece.
in the japanese title, they use the "voice" character with 聲 instead of 声 (which we usually use).
I would put reasons on why this is fantastic, but honestly, all i can say is that it's super fancy.
I love a silent voice and love that you did this
Thanks! 🙂
I like the contrast of how Nishimiya is deaf but how everyone else is also deaf to her and deaf to eachother
Great insight. That’s exactly it.

Amazing work as always. I was waiting for this and bam, better than I was expecting. Keep on the hard work my friend!
Thanks! I really appreciate it :)
I have to say the balcony scene is absolutely amazing when Ishida sees her and runs into the chair he calls out to her he doesn’t care about manners he doesn’t care about her disability and doesn’t care that she wont be able to hear him because she was the first person to make him feel alive in years and she will hear him in his heart and the moment he catches her hand and save her from everything she’s ever hated and catches her hand like he failed to do time and time again in the past honestly this film is a work of art and this is one of the best scenes in it

I saw it as a redemption film for shoya cause honestly that what I relate to the most

I sit there feeling that self loathing and it brings back all the things I’ve been through. Just counting down the days until the end. It’s a beautiful pain, if that makes sense
I bawled my eyes out when reading the manga and watching the movie. I could relate with both Shoko and Ishida. In elementary school, I got bullied a lot, but also turned a blind eye when an (ex)friend got bullied as well. During high school I was suffering from sever depression and social anxiety, and I was the social outcast. I believed it was karma for what I didn't do: speak up for my friend. But discovering Silent Voice made me see that it was okay for me to be more confident, love and forgive myself.
This is my favorite review of A Silent Voice among those I watched. Your review comforted me like how the movie itself comforted me. Thank you~ looking forward to your future videos! I hope your videos reach more people!
Ermahgherd, thank you for the kind words! It really means a lot 🙂
Kaze Talks you’re welcome ☺️
this anime hit so close to home bro. tears bro real tears
I watched this for the first time a few days ago and the last part made me cry because he finally excepts that people care and can let himself be happy.
the most beautiful anime out there- in all aspects, the story, the animation, the character development, the themes portrayed... amazing and beautiful and the fact that you can relate to some of the characters at some point is what makes me feel this anime like it's home.
Theres certain movies or shows that can change you for the better. This is one of the movies that changed me and my perspective on life.
Everytime, I mean everytime I see Ishida tear up I can feel my heart crumble and my tears swell up in my eyes. I feel all the pain he have gone through just by looking at his face. And that reason alone is why the movie is a true masterpiece. The best anime I have ever watched. I'm so glad the people who decided to do this movie made this movie. And I'm so happy I've watched it.
excellent video essay. There are truly so many great videos discussing many aspects of the film and manga. I think you did great talking about how each character feels real and important to the story. I myself am in the process of making my own analysis of the story and this video has inspired me to work harder each day. I want to watch your other videos and I know if they are anything like this, it will be great.
I also loved your editing :) truly great video!
Thanks! Really appreciate all the feedback. I try my best especially when it comes to editing and pacing. This one was a treat to do since it deals with so much character development from so many different angles.
I wish you all the best with your videos. It's great when more people can convey their feelings about something they love.
Bruh ur review is the best that I can find for this movie. I was surprised when I didn't cry or feel sad when I watched the movie but instead I felt happy that in the end both shoya and shoko where able to recover and talk to people.. Ur review helped me understand the movie better .. thanks
I’m really glad my review did that for you 🙏
I watched this movie early in the quarantine period. Now, I binge anime a lot.
this movie makes me want to be a better person
I love this movie and I've watched it around 20 times and I'm going to show it to my friends and family and I hope you will to and also this movie made me cry and I've never cried from any show before the only time I cried was when tecnoblade died so yes please watch it and tell your friends
Just watching this video brought tears to me bro wide words definitely deserves subs
Thank you! That means a lot 🙂
Wth??? Dude after watching that video I was just shocked to see that this channel isn’t a 3 million one, like how??You are very underrated my guy. The quality this video contains its hugely better from bigger channels like yours.Hope you succeed on it. Stay fine!
I absolutely love movies like A Silent Voice and 5 cm per second. It is because there are almost no fantasy elements in these movies. It is just learning about the reality of life.
Relatable tjings in the movie
Getting bullied
Cringing from when you were once a bully
Friends
Do I have friends?
All your friends blame you for something big
All your friends blame you for something big but yoi tell the teacher they also participated but the teacher didn't believ
Ok read this page 45 and answer page 48 quiz will be tomorrow you must study
Riding bike
Social distancing
Shy
I'm sorry
Being a special kid
Talking to your friends about who participated in bullying/making trouble but one of them picks a fight
Slap slap slap back slap punch ow slap back instead of punch punch again now punches AAAAAA boxing match except it breaks at least 10 rules
Bullying
There is something uniquely satisfying about having something described in exactly the right way. I think that feeling comes from the resonance between the idea in my head and yours. It's the mind saying "yes, that's exactly it!"
I am very impressed by how strongly the last minute of this script resonates with the message of the film.
This is really an amazing anime. Lots of emotions and anticipation 👍
A silent voice litteraly changed the way i look at life!
and also gave me depression...
Slice of life anime will surely get a huge spotlight i never watched a slice of life anime but after i watched my first slice of life anime (Wonder Egg Priority) made me look after more of these and.. Yesterday.. I found this masterpiece.
A silent voice is complex but ironically my cousin who's five actually was interested in it. :P he liked it a lot
Every character in this anime is so unique and realistic... like you cannot expect what he/she shall act like unlike most animes where it's easily predictable. Totally awesome
This movie was so accurate that I thought wow, it punched me out of my shoes this anime changed my live, I'm so thankful for that genere even than when I cry my eyes out of my head.
Just watched the film , didn't cry but man... something died inside me
This movie was the first movie that made me ever cry at a movie/show.
I've been furloughed on and off for a year now and the only emotion i thought i could feel was anger. I recognised this as unhealthy so deliberately watched things to get an emotional response. I found and watched Your Name, Weathering With You, Anohana, K-On, and the other day watched Silent Voice followed by I Want To Eat Your Pancreas. I've never cried so much in my life and i'm a hairy arsed bloke. Thank you for recognising the impact these masterpiece's have.
Ever since watching this movie, I changed my perspective on the world. It may have only had a small change in who I am and who I can be from my current state, but who I want to be and how I am to others has since changed forever. A silence voice, from the amazing and heartwarming sound track, to the animation, voice acting and overall purpose, it is a beautiful experience.
Dude ima be brutally honest too all u guys, I related too the main dude cus everything he did is exactly the same things I did except bully I deaf girl as a kid, instead I used too bully kids who were under my level, looking back at it today I can't think straight enymore and I have ptsd from it when someone tries too be nice too me, I absolutely hated my past I felt like I couldn't change it, so instead I tried ending it, but failed to do so cus I was afraid, so I decided not too and try and shape my life, thankfully I am still doing so, so now I hope it gets better from here. This is a message who is trying to take the easy way out because of there past, it's not worth it cus there is always sum u might miss that could have helped, don't end it bud!
Thank you for your comment and honesty. Your message is profound and I stand by it myself. Happy that you’re in a better place now 🙂
Oh my god this guy deserves to have so many more subs it’s actually ridiculous.
Omg, thanks! I really appreciate it 🙂
Amazing video, the last part was very close to home. I did not know i needed to watch this film this much, i will for ever love this film and it's beautiful message.
Amazing critique of this amazing film! I've found the creators at Kyoto Animation to be some of the best at visually communicating a narrative in the best possible ways we can get. What I loved about A Silent Voice is the narrative utilizing the plot technique of the "tragic hero" - Seeing Shoya starting out at the top of his prestige, then falls from grace in the eyes of his peers and then we see him atoning for his sins to finish the story a better person. And there's just so much more brilliance to the story that makes A Silent Voice one of the greats in storytelling today. 👏👏👏👏
I love this movie
I appreciate how you are still hearting comments after 2 years
This film, Your name and Anohana changed forever my taste regarding to anime. Before watching them I almost only had watch series like Fate/Zero, Steins;Gate, FMA... I'm a 39 years old dude and this was like 2 or 3 years ago. Now some of my absolute favorite animes ever are Fruits Basket (2019), A place further than the universe, March comes in like a lion, Your lie in April...
I found this movie to be the type of movie that spoke to me on an emotional level, when Shoko was telling Shoya about how if she thought she disappeared everything would be fine or the scene when Shoko is saying I’m sorry to shoya’s mum really got to me, as I had a friend that tried to take an overdose (she didn’t die, she just moved schools and I haven’t kept in contact since the day before the attempt) and a 2 friends that cut themselves everyday to the point were I have to get the razors from pencil sharpeners of of them and chuck them in the bin to stop them really made me realise how sad that made me feel, which is why I love this movie so much, it reminds me of myself and the people around me.
I can relate to Nagatsuka by being that naive friend, or Shoya by being the kid that was once pretty well off in Primary or Whatever it is in a different county and then being the kid that’s picked in by everyone.
And then having to start from the ground up later on to make new friends.
This movie is also what inspires me to be better and to work on my writing/screenwriting skills cause I don’t have a lot of time left until school ends for me.
I cry literally every time I watch this movie, goddamn it’s good
Edit: also realised I could relate to Shoya by having a former friend be a prick to you
damn, i was expecting you to have half a million subs, this review was great, just watching it made me cry, amazing review, i subbed
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it 🙂
I already feel like I can relate to the protagonist's struggles.
Being born with Autism, even though I am high functioning, I was often ostracized, pigeonholed from the rest of my age group by peers and adults alike merely due to my diagnosis. I was expected to work harder and behave more strictly than the others simply because of my label, while the rest of them got off scot-free.
Many of my social skills camps and special education classes were disorderly and dysfunctional, as many of the teachers there were unqualified, unskilled, and neglectful, as they expected us Autists (and other Neurodivergents) to figure things out on our own though we were still kids, rather than taking responsibility themselves for our development. I was conditioned to be self-conscious of my mental disorder, and overly caring about what others think of me in the name of self-improvement. I was taught that if I was disliked or mistreated, that I was doing something socially unacceptable. In a manner of speaking, I was set up to fail in my youth.
In 10th grade, I was bullied for my Autism relentlessly. They called me a retard day in and day out. They used my Autism as a scapegoat to blame me for their problems, as an excuse for them to to target me, saying that it was my Autism that started it, and gaslighted me that my Autism was making me hallucinate their abuse. Whenever I went to the adults for help, the bullies would usually say, "He doesn't know what he's talking about, he's a retard."
Whenever I did something kind, they'd punish me for it. Whenever I did something self-destructive, they'd commend me for it. Whenever I did something acceptable, they'd try to persuade me that it was socially unacceptable and so forth. Up was down, black was white, good was bad, day was night. I was questioning my sanity, my moral compass, my judgement, my mentality, and my memory.
Even when they sexually assaulted me in the showers, the adults took no measure to bring them to justice. In fact, the adults did NOTHING, no matter how much I begged and cried to them for help. Rather than taking responsibility and addressing the situation head on, they'd only ask me what I could do to improve the situation without their help. In my case, it was nothing; I could only avoid them. But since I was at a boarding school in the middle of the woods, I had nowhere else to go.
These kids were unhinged, if anything the adults were afraid of them. One of them threatened to kill me and another nearly broke my door down to steal my guitar. They even took advantage of the adults own mental illness, like when the art teacher was back from maternity leave, they use her mood swings to get her to side with them and blame me for their own problems.
But the worst thing they did, but blackmail my only friend there to betray me, just like Kaworu.
I was very suicidal that year, and wished I was never born.
To this day, I still suffer PTSD from being psychologically abused by my peers and staff alike. Even as an adult, I was still mistreated by fellow adults. I can't help but feel paranoid that some people are out to get me, as I've been stalked, doxed, and threatened to be hunted down and killed by people online who wished me grievous harm since Lockdown.
I want to watch this anime, but I am afraid of being triggered and spiraling into a relapse. Can anyone help?
It's really a amazing one , can't stop crying.....
This movie has changed me for the better, and I'm sure that if everyone watched it, it would make the world a better place.
this film made me realize that i didnt want to die anymore that i want to be happy.
I loved this anime and watched it several times.
But your comments and descriptions are simply amazing. Congratulations: great job!!!
Thank you! 🙏
My opinion on the scene where Shoyo first meets Shoko during high school to return the book is that Shoko runs because she feels regret. She feels regret because (in her mind) it was her who caused Shoyo to be bullied by other students. Remember, in the whole movie Shoyo blames herself whenever something bad happens around her. This feeling goes back all the way when her father divorced her mother for giving birth to her, a deaf child.
That could very well be true.
I didn't think this scene was very important to explaining the characters and only thought that she simply didn't want to deal with people from her past because she left them and having them come back, she wouldn't be moving on and living her life like she was, and instead having to come back to a time where she was not happy.
Absolutely brilliant well done. Also may the creator of silent voice rest in peace.
Have watched it twice. Now I wanna watch it again and again, for maybe I can relate it with my life. Wish, it was a never ending series.
i want to watch this movie for the first time again
I’m surprised that I didn’t cry during watching this-
This was the best review I have seen on this movie. Well done!!
Thank you! That means a lot, seriously.
When shoko cried in front of shoya's mom. I literally couldn't contain myself.
I loved this movie and cried 50 times
I rewatch this movie with my brother so much and there’s so much stuff I never realized!
Amazing review. Absolutely loved the movie and the video
Thank you! 🙂
Me *Gets stabbed* - I sleep
Me *watches this movie* cry’s like a bitch
for me a silent voice is not a movie. it is s responsibilty.
i am shouldering the responsibility of fulfilling the morals of this story in my life.
this anime triggered my eyes, i cry to everything now remember the scene..
I first downloaded this movie to watch on a play, and I started bawling.
This video is amazing and is so inspiring Im working on my own movie analyses and this is super inspiring and want to make videos like this!
I don't want to see this movie again. It hurts.
This is one of the most relatable movies that relates to me..... all the things that shouko nishimiya goes through that happened to me .... I'm disabled....I can't walk so.... that's why I relate 😊💖
Late reply but oh my god you edited this so perfectly thank you for this amazing review.
Thank you! It really means a lot 🙏
@@KazeTalks No thank you... for the last couple of days I've on my feelings because of this movie. I honestly didn't know how much this movie would connect to all the bad moments I had growing up and all the isolation I felt too from others only because I wasn't able to fit in. In turn, I felt more depressed about my life, but yet at the same time, it shined a light on how I too can keep walking down this dark tunnel that its life and towards a brighter future filled with prosperity, happiness, and opportunities. Maybe somewhere along there I too will find someone special to walk alongside. Thank you again for this review really made me reflect on this movie that will now forever be my favorite anime/manga and something I'll watch over and over. Keep up the work bro!!
This was a great read, thanks for sharing! I’m really happy that the review and especially the film resonated with you. Wish you all the best in the future 🙂
@@KazeTalks Thank you so so much. Means a lot to me.
