Woah, a movie can work even better than a TV series!

If it's a TV series there's a high chance a crappy studio and director can butcher it to bits, but if it's a movie it's mostly be something really worthwhile and all high budget with a good director and studio. Just based on many prior awesome works that got adapted into movies.

I'm ecstatic for this (:

Hey man. Why so positive, when they will fit 64 chapters of story in 1~1.5 hour movie?!

At best, it will be something like new Air/Clannad overcompressed movies. At worst... Don't want to think even >_<

I honestly thought that this manga would be a great potential for 2cours anime but getting a movie is not bad at all. Honestly though, how will they cramp 62chapters manga into 1~1.5 hour movie.

I was so expecting a TV series so it kinda left me down... But I guess it's okay, for now.

I have a feeling it won't cover the whole manga.

It also may be a series of movies, who knows? (:

It'll be tough, but if blessed with a 2 hour runtime, Koe no Katachi should be able to pull off a coherent and complete story after scrapping most of the flashbacks and some of the lesser moments such as those regarding Shouko and Yuzuru's grandma.

This is still mostly dependent on the competency of the director/storyboard-er.

I feel like the length of a movie won't be able to properly express the pacing of the manga, which I think was very important to the storytelling. I'm hoping they will use this to animate maybe the first 4 or 5 chapters, and then later come out with a full series. We'll see. If they're thinking of trying to condense the whole story into one movie...... I don't even want to think about it.

I think most people can agree that this manga is very dear to them (definitely true for me) and if they try to cut it up into little pieces to make it fit.... that would really ruin the whole point of the original story. You can't get the full range of emotions from each of the characters that way.

I guess what I'm trying to say is: THERE BETTER BE A F*CKING TV SHOW AFTER THE MOVIE.

Even though I'm already satisfied enough that a manga I loved reading gets an adaptation, I have to admit I'm kinda disappointed it isn't a series. A movie risks to be too short to transmit all the emotions of the manga.
Well, I hope it's gonna be at least something decent, the story deserves it...

I think a TV series would have worked better. Movies are usually 1-2 hours long and I don't think the producers, whoever they are, will be able to cram the full story into it.

Also, if it was a TV series I wouldn't have to wait for months to find subbed versions online

Still excited for it though. Who knows, maybe there'll be two adaptions

They could just stop somewhere convenient, I can kinda think of a few places without finish the story at all but yeah in other words I don't see the full story being adapted properly at any rate.

If it's a movie then you won't get full character development and it's going to skip lots of things, and then the feels wont be real. Maybe it's just me but i haven't enjoyed any movies that i watched.

I was right on, I thought it would be better as a movie. I don't want to watch the first three 3 episodes of horrendous acts of Nishimiya being bullied and the heartache that will thank god that won't happen. (I got really unconfortable reading the first few chapters that I practically skimmed through it).

I think it'll work as a movie, hopefully will be at least 2++ hours long. Just scratch out some arcs, I never really like the Nishimiya sister sob about the granny arc but keep the Nishimiya mother scene though that was powerful.

More or less what I've been thinking as well.

I personally just hope they go with some piece of shit anime original route and stay true to the source material.

To adapt when they were in middle school would take atleast 30 minutes. Then to introduce everyone when they're in high school...ugh I feel like it won't be satisfying.

I don't mind that it turned out to be a movie.
It's not like the first part of the story would need any longer than 5-10 minutes of screen time to give viewers a gist of what happened between Shouya and Shouko.

I personally prefer the one shot over the manga so I would be pleased if they just adapted the one shot. If the movie adapt the full manga, well too bad it's japan's way of destroying the source material lol.

They should make the movie about the one-shot and have it as a prequel to a tv series of the rest of the manga.


Just got a raging good idea boner from this comment. God i hope this happens cause this great story needs a full anime to really tell its story and continue on a little past that weak ending of the manga.

Manga was really slow, so there is a lot that can be cut out imo. Also KyoAni always delivers great animation quality. So I expect nothing less than a Tamako Love Story quality.

Eh whatever, there was honestly no situation in which KyoAni could properly drive the narrative home. One-shot too short for a film, 60+ ch. manga too long. Unless this film sees immense profit from all parties, they don't have the budget to produce a normal 12 episode series. All that said I'm still hype, considering KyoAni will be on-point with the art and character design.
Why do people have such bad taste? Anime isn't subjective anymore.
