A Silent Voice
| I really wanted to know why people considers this a very sad film... What is so sad about this film? What makes you guys cry so much? I know that a lot of anime audience are bourgeois mind, but... do you guys know how much suffer there is in the world? A lot of films, books and series succeed in transmit that... but this film? What is sad about it? What in the whole film is enough to make me sad? If I just open my eyes and turn on the TV I'll see a lot more stuff that are enough to make me sad... There is nothing sad in the whole film.. the protagonist had a tuff life, dealing with depression, but this is huge common, and this is shit compared to what most people have to deal with in their lives, at least he has a pretty decent life, he'll probably go to college and be what he wants... the girl is deaf and suffered from bullying, but there is a lot of deaf people in the world, and a lot of people who suffer from bullying, and none of them makes me sad, I don't give a shit about them, because I'm mature enough to understand how much painful the world is... there is people who doesn't have what to eat, why should I feel sad for a guy that is depressed and have to deal with some bad shit that he did in the past? I know that the ultra-dramatic premisse could be responsible to impact people in a sad way... but I'll never understand why people cry watching this... And I know the point is not their characters individually, but their relationship through the film, which is well done, I think overall it's a good film, I just don't know what would made me cry... the ending is OK, still not enough to make me cry or even feel sad.. |
| Christ how far up your own ass can you get... you say there is nothing sad about the movie and then you list off things in the movie that were sad. Just because compared to other things it isn't as sad doesn't mean you're not allowed to feel emotional about it. Emotions are the most subjective thing in the world. Just because you don't see anything sad in it doesn't mean it can't affect others. Stop being a conceited prick |

| It's just that nothing in this film hit you personally. People tend to cry about things that represent their own feelings and experiences, or at least get really close to it. |

| Suicidal thoughts. Depression. Kind of struck a chord with me. I teared up at least 4 times. Especially the ending. |

| >sal film because the sale was worse than expected? OT: I dunno, all I can see was a rushed movie adaptation of the so-called "good" tear-jerker manga. I think those who have enjoyed the movie might possibly those who have read the manga. |
| "Hur dur I'm so mature, this pussy anime didn't make me cry" what OP is really trying to say. You already seem so condescending and full of yourself, that I feel like you wouldn't accept any answer people give you anyway. |

Interesting... Might want to see the sales of it, just gimme the MAL News link of it. |
  how did you manage to get this good my man |

| I didn't said that I'm mature enough to not cry watching it.. I just said that I have conscience of how much suffer there is in the world.. so, because of that, I can't feel sad for somebody with their regular problems of life, UNLESS they're special to me, like a parent or anyone that I love I suffered from depression for a long time, and even now I can relate myself with the protagonist in some aspects (actually, this was the most valuable thing to me in the film from a personal perspective).. but still not enough to make me sad.. I just can't feel sad for a guy with the regular problems of life when there is people in the world that are REALLY suffering... at the end, both of the protagonist have a decent life... Hotaru no Haka for example, that is to me a sad story for a lot of reasons.. Of course it's subjective, I didn't think it was sad by my perspective, and by my perspective I didn't knew what exactly in this film was enough to people say "I was in tears the whole film" |

| It's as if... humans aren't all the same and actually live through different experiences.... |

| Basing on your arguments, it seems like having a mental illness that can lead to suicide is not a big problem compare to the "MORE regular problems". What the fuck? We understand. You didn't cry like most of us while watching Koe no Katachi, but why would you have to post about it? You want a cookie or what? We cried or I CRIED because I can relate to both of the 2 MCs. Been suffering from anxiety and depression for years, and this movie perfectly depicted ME and the rest of the people who're suffering from mental illness. I answered this question so many times now and this is probably the 100th posts asking why people cried while watching this movie. Can we all just move on and just accept that there are people who cried because they can relate to both of the MCs? Ugh. |

| Its not sad for me but the first 5 min i was about to cry. |
| I shed few tears because the 2nd half is just way too boring and started yawning, but that's it. |
Cross  AngeHey guys check my profile for current airing season anime recommendation (guaranteed best taste) |
| Wow, it's almost like people react differently to the same thing... |
 |
| It's a very touching and emotionally powerful movie that many people can relate to. Why would that be difficult to understand? |
| OP may have a point. We all cry from the masterful writing that Overlord gives us. The writer leaves you in tears and suspense and wanting more. |
| I ship @Cewkie and @DarkZeroCalibur  |
| I would be okay if you didn't cry when watching the movie, but your reasoning is questionable. For myself, I teared up a little during the ending due to a sense of relief and happiness that the male MC managed to get rid of his anxiety or anything that you would call it. It might be a bit too hard for some people to feel the emotions in the movie, but man I just can't agree to your reasoning and you seems to underestimate what depression can do to people. |

| Looking back now, you guys are totally right, and my post was pretty stupid, so was my arguments |
| Why are you questioning such a thing? :/ it depends on viewer's personality. You can't question someone's emotions... |
| I never cried, it rather made me feel uneasy, but I can totally understand if other watchers did cry. I mean this movie has a lot of elements that can make a very emotional person to feel genuinely sad... |
Unagumoro said: Looking back now, you guys are totally right, and my post was pretty stupid, so was my arguments Well I was totally going to be pissed at you upon reading your post, but I'm happy I caught this one as I was going down the thread. I'm no longer upset. Thank you. |

| The Ninjas cutting onions.. they attack everytime i watch this movie Seriously though.. i had classmates with disabilities. They were bullied. I Didn't pay much attention as I didn't wanted to get bullied myself and couldn't really help them. Once a student left school after she was bullied a lot.. The story kind of reminds me of those moments.. feel bad for not standing up for them Doesn't it seem unfair that you have to go to special school just because you have a disability |
 |
| It'd really depend on you as a person and what you got from it. I don't think it was a perfect movie, but some things just hit home, really bad. I could honestly relate because in elementary school, I was that new kid that was bullied and isolated, pushed off the stage, had "friends" that acted all innocent then talked behind my back, etc. I couldn't look up at people. I had that paranoia that Ishida experienced where it always felt like people were talking about me, where you just want to shut people off, "X" them but you can still hear their voices far too loud. It went on for 2 years and then it took a long time to get over, I still fantasied about suicide and in high school I still stared out windows imagining myself jumping off of them. When I have bad days those feelings come back, and I've learned to live with it. Those people that bullied me as kids I'm sure didn't know what they were doing, probably forgot about it already and are probably living their happy grown-up lives off somewhere. But it's something that can be hard for people who personally experienced it to forget. Granted, there are probably people who were bullied, watched this movie, and didn't take much from it. And that's okay. I was just a quiet kid who took things too personally. |
| I didnt find it sad as well, neither did I find Kimi No Na Wa sad, but I loved the plot of Kimi no na wa. A silent voice was ok for me |

| Because of two scenes... They misunderstood love confession & the suicide attemt. I never wanted to see a happy ending this bad. |
