I was begging for them to kiss or hug or something at the end, it’s the most invested in a movie ever, and I’m so glad some amazing people share my feelings for the film. Taking risks as a director and mix that with fantastic art and cinematography, truly a masterpiece. Only wish my friends would see it!
Skyfallsavage 22 It would actually defeat the main purpose of the movie. The main theme was depression, not romance. Them never kissing or hugging shows there’s still barriers to be broken down. There’s a film analysis somewhere on RU-vid that explains it. Just remember, she takes him by the hand at the end, and he starts to see people’s faces.
The soft piano at 1:50 and seeing Nishimiya's gentle smile at the end never fails to make me cry. For her to smile so gently after everything that happened to her in the movie was the most complete piece of the ending scene. Absolutely... heartwarming
I started bawling when that part came on. I was already crying. It just made me cry harder. And it was a good cry. Man I’m getting emotional just thinking about it
Nah, not really. The movie had a shitload of plot holes, and it left out a lot of key parts. The manga, which the movie was adapted from, would show a lot more to the whole story, including the movie that the characters were making and other vital stuff.
@Sak 01 To me, it added a lot more explanation for certain scenes, and would've made some stuff make more sense. It's like fanservice that actually contributes.
As someone who has struggled with social anxiety their whole life, they way they portrayed Ishida's social anxiety took my breath away. I have never related to a character (minus the bullying) more than I do with Ishida. This movie will forever hold a special place in my heart.
@@cricket98741 hahaha no....I think not I just feel they even if I ever get the redemption I wish for once I leave high school I'll have nothing left....if that is supposed to happen then how can I forgive myself..?
@@cricket98741 hey it's me again...I am crying I am so happy I....I got my redemption...now well I get to have my friends again and it might not be much but all I have to say is thank you it's been a relief to have support
Thank you for everything, Kyoto Animation. Some of my favorite series and not one but two of my all time favorite animated movies of all time were made thanks to your amazing staff. May those who live find the strength to go on and those who died rest in peace.
The music feels so kind, but not gentle. It's filled with joy, but also it's full of emotion, and memories. As well as sadness, with a slow, lullaby-like ending.
@@KINKYmustacheI mean, that's what it felt like to me. The musuc almost feels vulnerable, which is achieved with the sound of raw piano notes. You can hear the piano keys bumping, which makes the music feel authentic, no filter to take away 'flaws'. It's real, it tells a story, and it's not trying to tell a pretty story. Something that's pretty is often petty, but beauty is genuine, and not reliant on appearance. It's something that appeals to people, without attraction. 'Pretty' music saturates the world, and even when people put their hearts and soul into making music, I feel that they still rely on the crutch of tuning something to sound perfected. But to me, the music from this movie isn't fake. One of my favorite quotes ever has been "Always be nice, but never fail to be kind." Being nice can be fake, but being kind is treating them the best you can. And weirdly, I felt like this treated me kindly. But because it felt so raw and got such a strong reaction out of me (I cried MANY times because of this song), I felt that it wasn't gentle at all. I dunno, I guess I just like word play. But for real, this music is genuine poetry. It made it easy to say something about it.
@@Cat-lb3mx I don't think for a second that it's overrated, but I think that Koe no katachi is more emotional. Your Name is an incredible spectacle, with an engaging and uplifting story to boot. Knk is more... meaningful. I relate to Ishida, in most ways apart from being a bully in the past. That's mostly why this film made me feel this way. I had a similar experience, where someone helped me to become more comfortable with myself and realise that not everyone hates me. Your name is still incredible, just in a a different way.
Both are truly amazing. While A Silent Voice definitely made me cry more, Your Name, it has other great aspects that makes me love it just as much as this movie!!!
I did something similar to Ishida. This happened when I was still 15 years old. I'm 23 at the time of writing this. I can still remember my mother's face crying because of me. The hardest part is forgiving myself. I just can't. Suicide comes to my mind everyday. I tried to kill myself twice now. I can only imagine what Ishida felt when he finally forgave himself. Maybe I'll break down, crying like him. If and when I'll be able to forgive myself, I don't know.
YourAverageHikikomori I’m sorry that you went (and maybe still are going) through a tough time. I wish you well and hope you have a good day today. :) I believe in you.
@@Shinkaaaa I know you're not talking to *me* but I just had to say something and that is that maybe I would but I'm ugly and dumb lol 🤷♀️ Life goes on I guess
This movie (indeed, the original manga) was very personal for me, since I was bullied in elementary and middle school. I went to my old friend's birthday party years later, and he told me the guy who had been the primary bully had been bullied in turn after I had left (I guess people assumed I left because of the bullying, but my dad just got a new job so we moved for that XD). Evidently, he had asked my friend how I was doing at one point. The moment I heard about what had happened after I had left, I forgave him for everything. Bullying is an awful, awful thing to do. But no one is beyond forgiveness, and no one is the sum of their past mistakes. I have always loved this story for how raw and profound it is. It's not a story about a bad person getting what he deserves... it's about two people learning to love themselves despite their own regrets and insecurities.
I have been bully for 9 years, start at elementary school to junior high, its was very hard for me, especially when I was 6th grade my beloved mom was gone. Its break me Down and I change lot inside my heart. Then suicide was my activity but Iam always failed, but you know what no one in my entire family know about it. Its doesnt mean they don't care, but actually Iam good in hiding my feeling. Thinking about it, what my mother think about me right know when she know what I done in this world. May be she will forgive what I have done to myself but me never forgive myself. I know how feel just like shoko in movie but Iam also know how feel to guilt and hate to myself. I wrote this for everyone, when you have problem just like I do, you must know that we are here, you are not alone, I know how you feel, so please smile, you deserve be happy and never give up 😁
This is one of the best movies I've ever watched. It tells a story of overcoming one's guilt and depression and expresses it with such colorful and thrilling scenes. This movie is one of a kind.
Who agrees this is the greatest anime film. It's sad ,funny and a beautiful film the most perfect anime film. I never liked anime but this film make me to love anime .this and grave of firefly was the only made cry .this movie and the music is a masterpiece
When I was around 12 I watched this movie during a car ride. Tears filled my eyes and ran down my face during the ending. My mom asked what was wrong, and I told her nothing. Even though I had tears since the movie and this song touched me.
I don’t usually say this about a piece of music, but I genuinely cannot get past 0:42 without the emotion coming into the physical world (not always as tears). There’s just so much built behind that moment of release, I can’t even listen to this track without needing to express it.
I saw this scene and entire movie with my mother and we both started crying. This movie was so amazing. I won't find something that hit me so emotionally, and was relatable like this
I have never felt so much sadness and joy at the same time, this movie has changed my perspective on everything. Please, look out to those you love, forgive the ones that hurt you, fix your posture, take a walk outside, stay calm, get enough sleep.
Now that I think about it, I relate to Shouya over most anime characters out there. Here's why. When I was in elementary school, there was this girl in my class, we'll call her Ella (which isn't her actual name, for privacy reasons). One of my friends used to bully Ella really badly, and kept dragging me into it, until I eventually caved and started bullying her too. The teachers never did anything about me bullying, but only my friend. I find this weird, because like Shouya, I made fun of Ella over things she couldn't control. It got to the point where I'd end up making her cry, and she would ask to be my friend multiple times, apologizing for whatever she did to me to make me do such things. I always shook it off and continued, up to 4th grade. Now, we're back in the same school again, and I deal with depression and social anxiety. I passed by Ella in the hall the other day, walking to french class. We hardly see each other in school anymore, but I have to apologize to her sincerely. I've always regretted my actions, and I want to make things better. I just have to forgive myself, too. Thank you, Koe No Katachi, for helping me make up for my mistake. And Ella, I'm sorry.
It might came out rather as nonsense from me But, I think you're will meet face to face with her one day and forgive yourself in front of her.. Believe me, you're can do this
I honestly want to say thank you to Kyoto Animation for changing my view of Anime. I thought anime was just... You know.... Anime. I didn't like it at all. Then I watched A silent Voice, my very first anime. The anime that changed my life. And I know I aint the only one who wanted Shoya and Shoko to kiss. ( ˘ ³˘)♥ I mean like c'mon, they look cute together.
Yh I thought it would be better if they kissed too but to be honest the story is a hundred times better the way it is. This is not a story about love but a story of self hatred and it was wonderfully portrayed by the people at Kyoto animation and written by Yoshitoki Ōima. Koe no katachi in my opinion is one of the best anime films ever made.
@@keefesencen6434 I spent 5 minutes writing something to say that I'm glad that it did how it did but I'll just say this I personally think there are some people who need to watch this and they could really be affected by this film but at the same time there are people that may ruin the film for others by watching it. Fuck it I don't care, l adore kyoto animation.
This movie has done so much for me to learn more about myself from Shoya (social anxiety) and about a culture I barely knew anything about in Shouko (deaf culture) since I’ve watched this movie I’ve begun learning ASL and have been learning the culture. It’s beautiful. Thank you Kyoto Animations for a masterpiece.
hey kyoto animation... u actually change the way i see anime now and thank you for the life changing anime u have provide us,may the souls be rest in peace,and again thank you.. *u have done alot.*
A silent voice was the first movie to make me cry. Maybe cause I was bullied. Maybe cause I suffered from mental illness. Or maybe cause... It tells the most important story you can tell...
My personal favorite film of all time. It’s such a good exploration of emotion and friendship and what it means to truly be kind. It’s just so good. Anyone who hasn’t really should.
I learned this song on the piano and it was an emotional journey to say the least. This is my favorite movie and manga and all the memories came flooding back to me when I was learning this a few weeks ago.
I don't think y'all realize how great this movie is. Even I don't. Saying it's good or great or amazing etc feels like it's never enough to actually explain how good it is. It's really good. It really is.
at 0:42, i get so scared because everytime that beat hits a koe no katachi scene always manages to enter my head, therefore leaving me to cry. this movie was so beautiful
this is my 80th time re hearing this beautiful ost and my 80th time crying time crying to the ost, its also my 10th time re watching a silent voice and this movie is fucking phenomenal, 11/10 i loved this movie
This music makes me feel something indescibable. Somewhere between anxious, excited, hopeful and terrified. I can't really explain why. All i know is I don't want to stop feeling it because it's the most I've felt in a really long time, that wasn't just sadness or anger. This music makes me feel alive.
I've had this melody stuck in my head for over 5 years now, and when i watched a silent voice i was so filled with joy when i found a song that used the same melody!
This is the scene where i cried, thank you for everything Kyoro Animation for the best movie ever yet, since this came out 7 years ago, it's still the best anime movie ever, thank you for letting my emotions out 😢
Depression doesn't go away, doesn't lift For most people it's something they still have to wrestle with, it's still there, but there's a capacity to feel again, there's a capacity to experience joy , And depression and having done something terrible are not the same thing. But the cure for many things is connection, and we may think no one wants to connect with me But we just need to find the right people. Most people who hurt others are hurting themselves, they just want to be loved, and some won't accept it Others will.
Im searching for this.. so good. Its open ur heart and make u aware abt what u have done. The movie 10/10 . Hey , read the manga. Theres more after the story . The happy one ;)
I relate to Ishida now. I've graduated high school, and during this summer I've had to reflect on my life since I'm becoming an adult now. I used to be a rude little kid, who was rather selfish. I wasn't exactly a bully, but I didn't respeft people very well. Then, when I got into high school, (the school is super unique) I was encouraged and built up to start bettering myself. So as I matured and learned more, I made a better effort at taking care of people. (This part relating to the beginning of the timeskip when we see Ishida trying to make good with everyone) So from about my sophomore year and onwards, I had an excellent group of friends there who were great influences to me, and I felt happy and content being around them. (Relating to when Ishida hangs out with Nishimiya, and seems happy all the time when he's around her) At my graduation, I made a pretty heartfelt speech that was pretty vulnerable in some parts. However I really hated that whole event. I don't like anything that would put me to the forefront of something, so I really didn't like going to a restaurant that night to celebrate with my family either. It's sort of a sour memory for me now. (I can't think of exactly where in the movie this might fit, but wherever his mask of happiness starts to fade I guess) And now, this summer has been real challenging me. During my time in high school I sort of assumed nothing would ever get in the way of my good family and friends, but my family got hit hard with inner conflict, and that's been plaguing my mind a ton. I get glimpses of relief when I go to work with my friends, but I haven't had a lot to do this summer, so I can't easily escape from the house, where I'm in the center of my trouble. The conflict itself hasn't affected me, but the fact that my family is getting so hurt in it is killing me. I see people struggle to find joy or bring joy to each other, and that stresses me more than anything else in my life has. I dunno what part of the movie that could fit either, but I know Ishida had his struggles big time. So I just hope that in the end, despite all the damage, I can have that moment where this song plays, and I can see everyone's face and look them in the eyes. But I haven't quite finished the movie yet, in the sense that I can't relate to where Ishida ends at.
This just.. i cant... with all my expressionless emotions.. i finally cried.. i cant believe how much this movie has shown me that.. no one can be perfect but they still need to treasure their hard times.. ive been thinking about suicides so many time but.. after seeing this.. i realized how precious my life is.. it hurts still.. but.. what i know is. Treasure every moment.. because.. it could end anytime..
That ending scene hit me all the way to my core. It's too close to what I lived not to. After years of feeling like an outcast and helping myself to feel like one, I finally let it go and allowed myself to get closer to the people around me. It happened at a concert, months after I had health problems. I had hit the bottom and needed to be better than I was before. So I let go of the pain I felt because I was bullied and felt connected to the other spectators. It might be the best moment of my life yet.
So glad I got to officially re-watch this masterpiece but in theaters this time. I even showed it to my mom and as soon as we got out of the theater she started singing its praises to others too, I love this movie so much!!
Capaz algún dia la persona que me regaló esta cancion lea este mensaje ....Y encontré a de nuevo la pulsera, escuché la suave melodía triste, melancólica que llevaba ...y lloré. Un objeto muy importante de un día inolvidable, mágico para ambos.Uno de los mejores regalos guardados en una canción. No lo tiré,es parte de mi historia,un amor que termina como esta canción, un final que duele que cuesta llegar sin sacar una lágrima... Y pasan los meses,los días y no me olvido del gran amor que tengo hacia ti... Capaz la canción llegó a su final y también nuestro encuentro almico... Esta instrumental no tiene letra, pero no lo necesita porque solo se puede sentir... Gracias M💞 Te amo❤️
Whenever I hear this song, it shreds me on the inside. I may not remember the plot completely but it's the pure emotion of revelation and the uplifting of my depression. It changed my outlook on my own life and I began my true life journey. A Silent Voice is true a heart wrenching experience of a movie. And I'm grateful for it
Since a kid ive been bullied and looked down upon all my life everyone made me feel like it was my responsibility because of my actions i get harassed and bullied when i did nothing most of the time i started seeing everyone is out to hurt me, had suicide on my mind, this movie showed me that i need to see that there are people out there who will love me and treasure friendship as much as i do to them, i cried so hard at that show, tysm ❤️
