I'm a fan of the manga but answer my questions to some people who watch the movie. Does it skip a lot of content from the manga including Character Development? But what about the important scenes that are important to the Plot? |

But the movie could be watched as a standalone movie. |

I don't mind movie making arc being trimmed since it felt cheesy at times, but the manga itself had an open ending, so cutting that short will piss off many people. |

I think the point where they ended the movie is a lot better than that of the manga though. I don't want to spoil it for you guys but I think the movie is definitely enjoyable. |

waalex11 said: Can you guys spoil in full detail please? Of course while including the spoiler tag. Spoilers - Do not read if you don't want to be spoiled. *This won't be in any particular order* Nagatsuka's role has been dumbed down a lot to just comic relief, but his moments are still funny. A lot of people had some good laughs while watching the film. The movie production arc has been cut out completely. Yuzuru's character and arc stayed true. It is never implied directly that Naoko likes Shoya. Though Naoko still did a lot of things she did in the manga. Like locking herself inside Shoya's hospital room. But she never goes into Shoya's room. During the fight between Shoko and Ueno, only Yuzuru is in the background. Sahara is not present. Shoko's mother intervenes like the manga, but the person who stops the fight is Shoya's mother. After the fight between Ueno and Shoko's mother cools down, Shoya's mother approaches Shoko who is sitting on the ground unable to face her. The scene ends up Shoko tearing up at Shoya's mothers feet crying out ''I am sorry'' in her broken voice. During the theme park part, Shoya meets Shimada like in the manga. Ueno also takes Shoko into the Ferris wheel where she slaps her. Yuzuru also recorded this using her camera. If there is anything else you want to know, just say. |

But Shoya is unable to face his peers and hides inside the toilet. Nagatsuka follow up by hugging Shoya telling him that he is his precious friend no matter what he did, allowing Shoya to be able to face Nagatsuka. After, he meets his other peers, still unable to face them. But soon after, Shoya apologizes and asks everyone to to enjoy the festival together. Outside, Shoya confronts his fear of his peers, fearing what they are saying about. Inside, he is blocking his ears, but Shoya decides to listen to the voices instead of ignoring them. What he hears is nothing like he imagined and he decides to accept everyone. At that moment, the crosses in his life all disappeared. Shoya then starts to cry as he finally overcame his own fear. |

For some reason Yuzuru was at Shoya's house and Shoko went out looking for her. Her mother went to Shoya's house to ask for her. Shoya and Yuzuru went out in that rainy night looking for her. They found her. Shoko's mother came and Shoya hid behind a tree and here came Shoko's mother to tell him that no matter how hard he tries he'll never be able to give her back her schools days he took from her. She slapped him instead of saying that? |

Which is a right choice in my honest opinion- as it might distract the viewers from the bullying/redemption and attachment/detachment theme. But, in general, I think they've did what they could to make the film meaningful, and the end result was great, touching, and thought-provoking. |

It was a better ending, in my opinion. The manga's very last scene was a sort of reiteration of what Shoya had asked Shoko at the bridge. Therefore, I don't think it was so necessary, provided that the bridge scene was done neatly with Shoya asking Shoko to help him live his life and that he needed her in it. I think a kiss or something more intimate would have been a distraction from the film's main theme. This isn't a love story, or at least it isn't a simple love story. It was a very good film. I was moved by it despite being puzzled by the great amount of information and questions arising from it- that is why I keep writing about it. It's oriented more towards adult audience although teenagers can understand what's gong on. And it's a bit more than the bullying and redemption story. |

But small branches are cut off from the trees, like the teacher being a complete jerk in the manga (in the movie, he is less apparently so). Seeing in motion picture and Shoko's ear bleeding from rough snatch of hearing aid Generally, the visuals are really great. But that is expected from Yamada-san and the KyoAni "A" team. |

miyuchan48213 said: I mean what you wrote in first,the first spoilers about Nshimiya's father and this information. I have mixed idea about this. Yes, I thought it was a big omission to cut the scenes depicting the agony of Shoko's mother, but then the film was deliberately focusing on Shoya's point of view of events; much which cannot be seen directly by Shoya was either suggested in the details or omitted. So, I think in order to make the manga into a 2 hours film with concrete substance and direction, they had to omit that part. Also, not many fathers would divorce a wife and abandon a child because of hearing impairment (I think and I hope), so stressing on the point might have been a distraction (although the lack of fatherhood is very present in the film). |

KD1994 said: So there are no differences about ShoyaxShoko between the movie and manga? So sad, I hoped that there are more romance or at least things will be clearer between them in movie :( There are differences, and there are shortfalls in both the manga and the movie, the way I see it. If you are wanting a straightforward romantic story - this isn't it. Shouko could have been a guy and the main plot of dis-/communication and redemption might have made sense (not in the homosexual way though). But of course there is a romantic aspect in the manga and movie which adds the drama (and Ueno's motivations are in some ways made more clear). People do hurt someone, and often leave psychological scars in both the victim and sometimes the perpetrator. This movie is not a digest of the manga, but it centers on its main theme. |

Honestly I think the stuff it cut out actually made it an overall better product. True there are a few great scenes which I would have liked to see adapted, but the movie feels a lot more focused. The story is about Nishimiya and Ishida after all. Besides, not everything that gets cut out is good. Cheesy melodrama, out of place jokes, subplots that drag on for way longer than they needed to, pointless scenes that add nothing to the overall product, that kind of stuff. Plus the pacing feels very natural and it still makes sense. It's not like Danganronpa where important shit is cut out willy-nilly for time constraints. It's more like a different version of the same story. |

As a stand-alone theater movie running for over 2 hours, I don't think it could have been made much better. The Movie is not a simple digest of the manga either; things have been changed or emphasized. The direction is superb with interesting ideas and conceptual integrity (reflecting waves; use of flowers and its language; cloudless skies to show Shouya's emptiness; legs and hands expressing emotions rather than facial close-up; flashbacks [photography of dead bird in blood overlapping with Shouko in blood in Yuzuru's nightmare]; noise-filled piano at the funeral and Steve Reich Music for 18 Musician's-style score at the veranda scene...). The Manga and the Movie could be a good introduction to each other, and can be enjoyed by re-reading/re-watching after a while. The Movie is shorter in content, but it is not a shallow interpretation of the Manga. |

At cinemas (movie theaters) in Japan. There are English speakers in Japan, and although I am not a native speaker of English, I can still be a MAL member. This movie and the manga are like beef jerkey (or surume). The more you chew, you appreciate the taste. |

When Shoya's mother meets with Shoko's mother for the first time to pay her for the hearing aids, why was Shoya's mother's ear bleeding? Did she get into a fight? Or did she tear it out to par for the hearing aids? |
