What does it mean to forgive someone? Specifically, What does it mean to forgive yourself? This is a big theme that A Silent Voice tackles in it's run time. And for me that is a really interesting theme to explore. This was the first anime that I completed after I knew what an "anime" was. This was…
Koe no Katachi is one of the most highly rated and popular anime to come out this decade. Many people would tell you that it is a masterpiece, and it isn't uncommon to see this film in a high spot on someone's favorites. It is rare to see any criticism for this movie, and so I went into it expecting…
Read full review on AniList →I just rewatched A Silent Voice, and I just have the urge to write a review, so yeah, __SPOILERS BELOW__. Suicide and Social Anxiety are mentioned in the review. __Shoya Ishida__: Shoya is definitely my favorite character in the movie probably because I kind of relate to him, and many other peop…

Read full review on AniList →On this eventful night, I found myself tuning in to this anime movie. I heard from friends that it would be sad, I heard that it would break me, and yet I stand dumbfounded in the face of this undying light. Whereupon I may find the courage to stand up against this show is naught, for it is nil and…
Read full review on AniList →It's incredibly difficult to be critical of something so close to your heart, but here goes. _Koe No Katachi_, or _A Silent Voice_, was one of the first anime films I watched when I got back into the medium. As I've said in previous reviews, I stopped watching anime when I got into high school beca…

Read full review on AniList →A Silent Voice is an emotional masterpiece that can get anyone teary eyed with important lessons. This anime is personally one of the most relatable anime I have seen and probably for others as well. Some just watch it for the **** of it and still enjoy it! Well then, on with the review. Animation-…

I was not expecting this, and **** the lessons to learn from it. I feel like I need to write them down before I forget them! So quick spoiler warn…

Before I hear your answer, let me give you a little background on that story. Koe no Katachi, or A Silent Voice, Yoshitoki Ooima's origina…

Read full review on AniList →Shouya Ishida. That name alone is perhaps the greatest reason why I fell in love with Koe no Katachi. The film starts with Shouya being a social, friendly kid teasing his friends until a new student arrives in his class. Her name is Shouko Nishimiya—a deaf girl who uses a notebook to communicate wi…
Read full review on AniList →Capolavoro. La Yamada è una grandissima regista: colori, regia, simbolismo, meccaniche, richiami alla matematica, è tutto assolutamente perfetto in questo anime (che supera, a mio parere, di gran lungo quello che offriva il manga). Cinematographe ha scritto del film: " A silent voice è un film spia…
Read full review on AniList →My goodness... I never expected something like this to hit as close to home as it did here for me. Media rarely resonates with me, but Shoya Ishida was someone that I felt I shared a true connection with. From my understanding, this movie is split into 2 parts. One part is from grade school and the…

Read full review on AniList →I saw this movie for the first time when I was in just 18 and had a similar experience to Shota, not the bullying part, but how everyone threw him under the bus in the act where everyone of them was wrong which reached the point of him believing that he is the only wrong one and he is to be blamed f…
Read full review on AniList →**"If you want to say something to me, say it!"** This movie's opening was very good. It did to me perhaps exactly what it intended to do. It: - Established a self-centered boy who is clearly the center of attention for others in not only his class, but perhaps the whole grade. The audience recogn…
Read full review on AniList →I should preface this review with two things: this is a rewatch and after almost four years. A Silent Voice is a movie I originally perceived as a masterpiece, 100/100 series, and while my perception has changed four years later, I unironically came out with so much more to love about the movie...a…
