I liked the movie a lot, but you guys are acting as if this is as good as Clannad After story.

Can Someone tell me why they liked this movie so much? I don't really understand.

>After Story
>Good

Pick one

Yeah, ikr. Clannad and masterpiece go together much better.

The first time I watched it was in the theater and after the film finished everyone just started clapping which was the first time I've ever seen an audience clap after a film. Which tells me that everyone in that theater just simply enjoyed the film. :)

To be honest. I found this movie boring. It's art and everything are beautiful. But what I'm really watching it's for the story. The navigation of the story is hazy to me. I can relate to the things that happened in the movie but it's just kinda boring to me.. 7/10.

Why create a thread saying its overrated I don't really think anything specially media like this can ever be overrated because at the end everyone will bring different perspective and life experience while watching it hence different chords getting struck. I am in no way saying that you're wrong but I guess you should just respect the someone else's opinion, let them be and move on.

It is an over rated anime movie if i will use the ratings here as a basis. Here it is rated 9/10
I am not saying its not good, what i am trying to say is that it should be around 7-8
I can use the movie ano hi mita hana no...
I had watched that and i scored it 8 though story is catchy, doesnt bore me from start to end while this movie catches my attention on the days they were still young.

Ano hi mita... 8/10
This movie 7/10
Air movie 6/10

This is what always what happens when a lot of people recommend a certain product. The best thing to do is not expect so much, just remember that a lot of people like said thing and you're not expected to like it. That's how I forget about hype. If you thought it was ok...ok. It's not overrated, obviously there's something there that you thought was nice and that and other things made people enjoy it a lot. There's nothing wrong with you, and there's NOTHING wrong with anyone else. So no....this is not a overrated show. If you found it really bad, then I guess that's your opinion, but maybe you'd have liked it better had there been no hype? It's best to just disregard hype to begin with.

Oh look kimi no na wa is overrated. That means Koe no Katachi is underrated. *looks at score* lol no. It's score is as inflated as Kimi no Na wa. Should be around 8-8.5 really.

Watched Kimi no wa and Koe no Katachi today. Hated Kimi no wa. Started good, cool premise, likable characters. Just got more and more nonsensical and unfocused as the movie went on, characters got no notable development, and the whole thing just felt shallow. Actually wanted to turn it off by the end.

Koe no Katachi was amazing. Accurate portrayal of depression, great character development and compelling characters. Riveted from start to finish. Read the manga straight after and... I appreciated the depth it added to some of the scenes, but vastly preferred the cut of the film, as it was more focused on the core story, whilst the manga meanders a bit (especially the whole movie arc sub plot, great that they cut it!). Think it's best treated like supplementary material.

I read the manga and just thought it was okay, generic teenage drama with nothing special about it.
I'm gonna presume the film is pretty much the same, slightly heightened by Kyoani's direction.

I think it deserves its current spot. It's a story of redemption with heart-wrenching moments, so it relates to a lot of people.

I dont know about the manga but the movie is so overrated.
Shoko is the victim of the bullying but the movie blames it all to her. They said because she cant open up with others and not being true to herself but come on how can you open up when people thinks of you as a pain in the ass to deal. You want to know whats going on around you but cant because you cant hear very well, if you hand over your notebook its a pain to others. Shoko even attempts to do that but her classmates eventually gave up and so does Shoko. And like others said the movie just feels so disjointed your typical manga to movie adaptation

Score doesn't mean anything. I'm talking about general response. More people would peg Your Name to A Silent Voice rather than talking about A Silent Voice for its own merits. Just go to any site that talked about movies from last year and you would see that Your Name gets brought up more compared to this. It mostly gets brought up just for comparison which fails to be objective for the fact that they're comparing two different stories and set of characters and not the technical aspects of the movie and how the directors approached their movies respectively.

That itself is what being truly underrated is. Not just basing it off of MAL.

EGOIST said:

Technicality wise, Shinkai did a great job. I wouldn't go as far as take it away from him but the movie was as devoid as gets. It was fun on the first watch especially when I watched it in AX, but afterwards it had no meaning. Mostly the fun came from having the Stockholm syndrome from watching all his past films. So seeing the reward become a reality gave it 10 times more impact at the first but had no lasting appeal.

I digress.

Speaking of why A Silent Voice IMO is still the better film was for the most part, the value of the show itself. The lasting message. It leaves you with things to think off. Not to mention on the technical aspect of the movie, Yamada just outclassed Shinkai in terms of making a film. Shinkai had this mainstream aura of direction. His framing was good. The scenery he uses to transition scenes and help impact the mood were very pretty but somehow actually felt hollow in terms of message. Things were laid out for the audience and read out like a book. Bombastic climax. Catchy music. Good ending. You name it.

Yamada on the other hand did something that most anime directors lack. Which is subtlety. She valued the saying, "Show. Not Tell". For the most part this movie didn't read it out to you how it came to be. It gives you hints which IMO will be problematic for those who don't pay attention. I wouldn't say that it's very cryptic but it can be cryptic to a particular set of audience. However those cryptic parts actually give the movie a rewatch value. Take for example the unvoiced parts. You wouldn't know it at first not unless you know Japanese Sign Language. So once you've pieced out, you get to understand Nishimiya better. And lastly, the camera work here is genius. It's not new from Yamada but it did one hell of a perfect job to depict Social Anxiety.

The list goes on but that will be it for why I think A Silent Voice is better than Your Name as a film.

He's not totally wrong. Shouko had some fault as well. The thing is she failed to reach out of others as well. She never spoke her mind.

The whole message of this movie is communication.

But yeah the movie doesn't go and blame her. So he definitely missed the point.

Tell that about a normal girl and not someone with limitations. You probably have zero idea because you don't see what disability can do to a person, their level of confidence, their self-belief and the way they think they could be judged by others.

I wanted to ignore this thread but decided to give my 2 cents seeing the numbers of crappy posts that are spewed around in this ridiculous thread became a bit too much.

First of all. I'd like to say how ironic and insensitive of you to say that me as well. I have been caring for a disabled person for a long time and you have the gall to say that to me?

Now that's out of the way. I'll make it clear. In no way do I believe the movie entirely blames her. Everyone else had their share of guilt. The biggest offenders still remain to be the ones who bullied her. However, to say that Nishimiya did nothing wrong in all of the things that transpired is looking at the whole thing too one sided. Her keeping a fake smile didn't help her case. Her saying sorry all of the time and leaving it as such didn't help her case.

I know there is a point of hopelessness and a point where you are at your wit's end. I know that there is a circumstance that is truly irredeemable. However in their case, it wasn't that. The movie depicts hope beautifully between Shouko and Shouya. To help each other live through their adversities. But neither of them could do that if they truly don't communicate.

It is an incredible movie and it's my 2nd favourite anime film and the 5th of 6 10/10s I've given something (latest being Wolf Children). I've been reading the manga (up to chapter 59) and the movie improves on it a lot. Focuses on the Shouya and Shoko plotline and cuts out the unnecessary film directing subplot (which effected the pacing).

One thing worthy of note is that the movie ends at around the end of chapter 57 which leaves 7 chapters cut out from the movie. From the 2 chapters cut though it was about the film making though so it makes sense that it was cut. Not sure about the remaining 6 I haven't read as of yet.

She didnt reach out to others? There's a scene where she tried communicating with her notebook and people only got annoyed by it. You can see it in her notes at first people respond to her question then got sarcastic then eventually got rude and Nishimiya knows how shes asking too much to this people just to communicate to her thats why she's constantly saying sorry in her notes and that constantly saying sorry is also her fault apparently. And in the first place these bullies are the ones at fault that Nishimiya gave up communicating and felt useless it even traumatize her and became suicidal and when its too much and she commit suicide she apparently needs to apologize to the bullies for commiting suicide because at the end of the day its her fault for not communicating which is pretty simple for a person that got traumatize, right?

No, that would be Kimi no Na wa.

While having to leave out a lot of plot points and development from the manga for obvious time constraints, it also shifts a lot of the focus story wise. In the manga the dynamic of the two lead characters developing a relationship, overcoming strife, and helping each other grow really fuel the narrative. The film narrowed it's focus to Ishida, choosing to focus on his journey of redemption. If going in you expect the complex, yet subtle story of love healing two broken souls then yeah, the movie doesn't quite live up to it's lofty expectations. If you view it as a story of one boy's quest for redemption, healing, and happiness; then this film nails it.
