| Loved the movie. I mean I read the manga of it awhile back and since then I've been waiting for it to get animated(the gods never disappoint us and they made a movie, YES!) Although there are things left out in the movie, I still love it! The animation is so crisp it's beautiful~ The voice acting is great too :) I know what's coming but I still cried The feels! Who else got cried or got teary-eyed while watching? TuT |

| Despite the short length, I was expecting the movie to be more enjoyable than the manga for me. My biggest issues with the manga was how the pacing felt inconsistent at times and the subplots went on for too long. With this movie, I was expecting them to cut out the sub-plot, which would make the pacing feel more consistent, and I'm happy with the end result. The pacing does feel a lot better (even if some scenes lack flow from one another). However, the supporting characters look even more useless with the subplot being cut out. But honestly I don't mind, since the supporting characters weren't that well developed in the manga either. The art/animation, the music/sound editing , the "cinematography", they were all so damn good. The director did an amazing job to make this movie feel both polished and intriguing. Also, Ishida and Nishimiya were depicted perfectly well too. If only this movie came out in North American theaters. Hell, even the SAO movie came out here, yet no Koe no Katachi. The manga was more like an 8/10 for me, but this adaptation is a 9/10. |

Swagernator said: I was expecting bigger tear-jerker. 8/10 btw who is mother of Maria Ishida ? and also wtf is this ? just error in translation ? or did i miss something ? For the love of God how old is Miyako Ishida ? Maria's mother is Shouyo's older Sister, they don't show her face for unknown reason. And that guy from Brazil is Pedro, her husband. xD |
| @SophiaKaye yeah i was thinking who is that one woman the face is never shown :D |
|
Yes~ It's truly a mystery! I wonder what she looks like ^^ |
Pierdo said: I saw several posts with people stating that the movie's ending is better than the manga. Can anyone give a summary of why (without to many spoilers)? There is a storyline about Nagatsuka making the movie through the most part of KnK, and its development and conclusion arranged after the movie(KnK) ending. There is also epilogue a couple of years after. The problem is this both part of story are not so deep as the rest of it and really have not so much meaning in story and character development; it just ruined the mood. But the movie(KnK) ending is a really good point in the story where you can end it, logically and polished. Btw, I love KyoAni so much now. They should make more such stuff |

| Ill be honest, i was a bit scared to watch this movie due to some saying how bad it is compared to the manga... But i have no idea what they are talking about, This was BEAUTIFULLY done! Of course it didnt get every single detail, but it was only a 2 hour movie.. And while it did skip a few minor details, it got everything that was important in there! A perfect adaption in my opinion! 10/10 |
| Once again, MC's mom is da real mvp. I felt that the pacing was a bit off and they obviously didn't have to flesh out the supporting cast but damn did the movie look beautiful. OST was okay, I felt some parts had weird music placements. Overall, an enjoyable movie since even though the events that took place seemed to be too sudden, bullying and it's the implications were greatly emphasized at the start. 8/10 |
 "... Because when you live in this world of my closed eyes... ... Being alone is very lonely...". |
| The beginning was really brutal with the bullying but unfortunately that is a part of society. I felt Anger, Joy, Sadness, Pity, multiple emotions throughout. Haven't read the manga so not sure how it compares but a really well made movie that sends a good message. 9/10 -Ueno deserved that slap a lot sooner lol. |
  |
| Shit. This hit me harder than manga. 10/10 from me. |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| Just finished it moments ago. Overall, amazing film that I would definitely remember. It felt refreshing and the characters really grew on me. Hell, it was portrayed realistically enough that I could recognise familiar situations and even glimpses of real people I know. But in the end, being an anime-only watcher, reading the comments made me realised that lots of value adding parts were cut off. A hell of a precious lot. So to the manga I shall go. |
| I initially wanted to finish the manga before the movie, but guess the usual lazy me didn't get to that in the end and my impatience got the best of me like always. Aside from the obvious high quality, beautiful visuals and top-notch animation (which are KyoAni's usual strong points), I think they did a really fantastic job with the adaptation despite adapting the whole thing in a 2-hour movie. It did a nice job at pulling my heart strings and I think it created the right atmosphere and caught the content's essence. (Side) Characters may not have been the strongest point, but it was good enough nonetheless. Nice music as well. But what really stood out, I'd say, is probably the voice acting performance, especially Saori's. She did such a great and wonderful job. Props to her, hands down. Lovely movie, I loved every moment of it. End up as one of my favorites without a doubt. Only disappointing thing was the ending. It felt kinda lacking and it could've been better, but no big deal. 10/10. |
  |
| Did they just skip the entire plot of the second part of the show? Where is the movie making part? Where is the backstory of Kawai? Where is the story of red haired guy? I don't know how someone can rate this higher than 7 if you read the manga... Tbh some scenes were really good. With OSTs they get even better but they skipped a lot. They could put those scenes instead of making anime original scenes. As for the end I am ok with anime original ending but I think they at least should show the ship at the end. Oh well 7/10 |
sasalxMay 18, 2017 12:42 PM
| hmmm.... Where should I start... Didn't they missed the plot ? I really wanted to watch how Kawai was bullied... We didn't even see the movie making part.... Where is the Sahara's chara development ? Why Shouko's mom suddenly changed her attitude towards to Ishida ? There are tons of unanswered, skipped, questions throughout the movie... And one of the major point, where the fuck ishida x shoko ship ? Also didn't like the original ending. They skipped a lot... Artworks and soundtracks though, were good. Overall 7/10 |

| I don't know if it was because I had high expectations or something, but I kinda thought there would be more. I'll admit it was good, but just that, a good movie. KyoAni keeps impressing with it's great visuals. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Ishida = irl myself (and still ongoing...), but no more about myself, let's talk about movie instead. Manga was awesome, but as usual I prefer to watch anime (including voices and colors, and moving things), Shoko silent and funny sounds as usual, and everyone in cast characters with their own flaws... I still hate (love) Ueno everytime I see her, I never forgive her, as she will never stop remember the past. 5/5, and included as my only favorite anime, there might be some others, but until I see better movie which actually made me feel something, Koe no Katachi will stay alone in my favorite list. |

| You cannot spell Light without L |
| Can someone explain to me what happened at the end i mean was that a timeskip where reunite which i think it is or something else..and if its not did ishida end up going to Tokyo |
| You cannot spell Light without L |
| Just finished it, pretty good. It did bother me a slight bit we didn't see them actually get together. Visually it was pretty on point as well, I liked the whole X-face thing too. Won't rate cause f*** ratings |
   |
| It was an amazing experience. Waiting all those month was worth it. |

| i really love that movie ;3 but that ending was good but something wasn't there ..i through they will be together or something ;( maybe its just me thinking that ;( |
 |
| KyoAni specifically skipped all the parts I thought wasn't great in manga... That's why I thought the anime was better than manga without a doubt! I am not a huge fan of KyoAni (I think the average for my other KyoAni anime are around 5), but this one deserves a 10. If I don't give this a 10, then I don't think I can give out 10s anymore.... But I do agree that this is not the PERFECT anime, but this is the one that got closest to PERFECT. But that's also because there are so many terrible slice-of-life/drama anime (specifically CLANNAD). |
sasalx said: Because, as others said, what they cut out isn't really all that great. In fact the movie is better for cutting them out because even the good subplots really screwed with the tone and the pacing.I don't know how someone can rate this higher than 7 if you read the manga.. If you ask me, every single one of the anime original scenes are far more interesting than fucking Big Friend trying to make a movie. |

I dont remember that happening in the manga The anime original stuff is mostly adding on to existing scenes to flesh everything out a bit more. Like actually showing Shouya attempting suicide at the beginning of the movie rather than just implying he thought about it at some point. |

| That was great. Really enjoyed that. I think the ending could've been better and I didn't really see the point in Kawai and Mashiba. Other than that, yeah, awesome. 8.5/10. Not sure whether to give it an 8 or a 9. I'll sleep on it. |

| OK, just finished watching it. I definitely think that this could have been better it was longer or maybe turned to something like a 6 part episode or something. Alot of the scenes are just missing so much impact that I have felt when I was reading the manga version. |
| I was expecting a lot more from this when it first came out but when I finally watched it I felt just a bit disappointed, I thought there would be more to it, especially the romance felt 'eh'. There's also this feeling of emptiness (idk if that's the correct word for it) when you're gauging the contents of the whole movie; it's just a bit unsatisfying. Despite of what I said, I still liked the movie. It's above average, solid 7.5/10. |

| Yes, they cut stuff out but personally I actually liked this a lot better then the manga. I was actually rather disappointed in the manga, but I found the film trimmed the right parts and flowed a lot more naturally. It was a 9/10 for me |
| 7/10 Just cause a lot of details from manga got left out and didnt like some changes. Ik Ik its a movie but wtf felt so rushed too. But dam hate I still hate Kawai. But anyways pretty accurate for myself since I havent had friends since 8th grade and now in 11th grade just cause i used to be such a serious asshole and being a loner just made life way better for me. |

| Disappointed me. Was extremely slow paced even with the amount of content they would of cut from the source material. I am very surprised at the score because its definitely did not feel that strong. At best its an 8 |

| I think my favorite part about the ending is when Ishida starts crying and all the x marks fall off everybody's faces. Because Ishida walks out with his ears covered, he finally is able to see (hear) the world the way Nishimiya does. This changes everything, and when he finally takes his hands off his ears, he realizes the pain and suffering that Nishimiya had to go through just to keep on going with her life. He took his ability to hear for granted and did not think to put himself in her shoes. It was so hard for her that she tried (like Ishida) to take her own life. They both suffer, but because they are together, they can be strong. Although the ending parts from the ending of the manga and a lot of things from the manga are dropped out, I love how Ishida has that realization at the end that him and Nishimiya are both strong enough to get through anything. About the content from the manga that was dropped -- it is an over two hour film. It would be almost impossible to fit every single aspect from the manga into the movie. For that, maybe a 10-12 episode anime would be better. I honestly wish it were an anime instead of a film, because a lot of details were dropped. But we got a movie, and what we got I very much enjoyed. Plus I enjoy just about everything from KyoAni (an emphasis on the just about **cough cough Musaigen no Phantom World cough cough**). I am a bit disappointed that they did not include Shoko's mother's struggle with her husband and her husband's family leaving her because of Nishimiya's disability. Also, in general, I wish that the mother could've had a bigger role in the story as she did in the manga. I feel that the first of those two could've been incorporated into the movie as it would've only added about two minutes, but it's okay. Nevertheless, it was a beautiful film. I don't know how to rate it otherwise. My ratings are completely subjective, so yeah, I might be biased, but it's my opinion. |

| 7+/10 (manga 8.5/10) Special thanks to KyoAni for: no fanservice, no moegarbage and full 2D animation. best work after KEY vn's (+Hyouka?) |
| It's a good story, but directing and editing felt a bit inconsistent and rushed. I should read the manga, the art is really beautiful. |
| (|__/) Never give up, aim for the top! (='.'=) Top wo nerae! o(")(") Anime music: http://myanimelist.net/blog.php?eid=777199 |
| Beautifull movie, loved it all the way trough. |
