A Silent Voice
FullyCharged said: kikyo1hinamora said: the only overated movie here is kimi no nawa Everyone here has a different opinion. Everyone (should) respect others' opinions. But no one has to agree with them. For example, for me, seeing that the rating of Koe no Katachi is so close to the one of Kimi no na wa makes me cringe inside. There is an huge abyss between this and Your Name. (At least for me) To answer the first post, I think that this move it's extremely overrated as well. Not bad, absolutely not bad, it's very good, but yet overrated. A lot. I gave it a 7/10 at the time I saw it, because various reasons (mostly about the characters). After reading the manga (to which I gave 8/10) I lowered my score to 6/10. The movie adaptation killed the last 2 volumes of the manga, basically making up an end with a scene from the second last volume, and all the part about the movie making for the school festival is almost completely cut out and put as a side thing. And the side characters' backstories...completely ignored. (It's quite a bit late in the night for me so, if you want more reasoning about what I didn't like about this movie, read my review) If you want to see a movie that makes a good telling of teenagers having trouble communicating to the other people, I advice you guys to watch Kokoro ga Sakebitagatterunda. It's basically this movie, with less cringy characters, and no cringy bullies. Definitely worth more the 8.24/10 it currently has, and probably even more the 9.08 rating of KnK. My 2 cents. Bye. Cringy isn't a criticism and KnK is way better than KnNw. |

| I mean it was fleshed out compared to the manga, it still a 8 ~ 9 for me. The removal of some scene definitely impacted the movie, I bet if this movie wasn't released alongside Kimi na wa, it probably would not be judged so harashly. On another thought, I don't think series and movie are comparable. Anohana had more time to build up character developement and etcs while the other is adapted from a 60+ chapter manga and had to be fleshed out further to fit in the time slot. Both are good but I prefer A Silent Voice. |

Takamura-sama said: I liked the movie a lot, but you guys are acting as if this is as good as Clannad After story. No one acts like it's as good as Clannad After Story because it's actually WAY better than Clannad After Story also why are you comparing the two ? they are completely different genre You probably stop going to school a long time ago because there are a lot of assholes in school like the MC of this movie |
| I know this is an old thread, but... I don't think it's overrarted at all. This movie did such a great job of adapting the manga and showing both the struggles that Shouko and Shoya went through. I've been bullied for many years now and I have one deaf friend who also got bullied and this movie made me so emotional so many times. It has beautiful animation and soundtrack and the voice acting is also spot on. It's one of the best movies I've seen and I wish that it was actually more popular. |
| Help the industry and buy Blu-rays and DVD's. Noragami is the best anime ever.  |
| I think I said this before in the thread, but no god damn way is this movie overrated. It's not even all that well regarded in the first place. The movie got absolutlely eclipsed by Your Name and isn't even coming out in the US until next month. Jack_100HP said: Me. I did. When I was 7 years old.this movie is so bad, what retard would bully a mentally disabled person? Shouya is a little bit older than I was and he definitely took it a few steps further than I did, but to say it's out of character for a kid his age to bully a kid for being different... well you're wrong. Plenty of kids do that. I don't even know why I have to explain this to you. |
 |
| I dont think this movie is overrated at all. Many people still dont know what movie is this. |

Jack_100HP said: Well even if you're telling the truth and you're not just turning a blind eye to all the stuff that goes on, that is sure as fuck not the society I grew up in buddy. It's also not the society the author grew up in either. Or most people for that matter.@SeibaaHomu @Valaskjalf maybe its because we live in a different society. aint no way anyone gonna let you do that stuff here. also bullies. from elementary to highschool, there were no bullies here. Trashing a series because you don't have the same experiences as the author is honestly the dumbest fucking thing you could do. |

| I agree with this thread, was expecting a 9/10, instead watched a 7/10. Normally I trust MAL ratings but this one was overblown. I'm having a hard time thinking why I only give a 7 tbh but if I had to sum it up I'd say it is 2 things: Firstly, it's kind of a miserable story, like from everyones perspective nobody is happy in this story, even at the end they are all still basically miserable. Secondly, it's a tale of socially dysfunctional characters and I feel like that is the target audience. There is hardly any characters in this movie that aren't 100% socially handicapped. Not trying to sound pretentious or anything but it's just true. It's hard to relate to characters that basically autistic. |
| The movie is totally overrated. It should be slightly above 8 but definitely not in the TOP 10. While the story is good the adaptation has several issues. Most of characters motives were left unexplained and without reading explanations on this forum i would have never understood some key-moments. After the ending i have had many questions unanswered and that was not because of my inattention but because some plot was left out from the manga. That is the main reason why the movie doesn't deserve such high ratings. |
| This movie wasnt bad at all, no not by any means, but it was not what i expected. Maybe i went with to much expectations into it, still i didnt get the feeling that this should be an masterpiece or smth like that. Really enjoyed it - but no masterpiece for me, definitly overrated in my opinion. |
| i enjoyed the movie, yes, but i definitely do think it's overhyped |

Really enjoyed it - but no masterpiece for me, definitly overrated in my opinion. It's just the typical trend. It'll slowly fall down the ranks when new hype enters the picture and it gets more exposure. |
| I would say it's slightly overrated, but then the scene with the two moms in the hospital happened and it broke me completely. Seriously, all the bullying, all the attempted suicides, all the self-hatred struggles, all of them were great, but that apology was the highlight of the film, by far. Second to the "money burning" scene, come to think of it, I guess I just get more emotionally invested in the parents' side of things for some reason. The movie has plenty of "make'em feels" tropes that are recognizable from a mile away, sure, but has way less of them then Kimi no Na wa (and I only compare the two because I watched them back to back, not because it's apparently a thing) and handles them way better. Putting aside how any supernatural plot is naturally inferior to very real scenarios like bullying and disabilities, the tropes in Koe no Katachi seem more like "reasons for characters to struggle and grow" as opposed to "reasons characters can't be together yet". This film felt pretty natural, like the story could really happen, forgiving a couple of far-fetched coincidences. Point is, I loved it. I didn't go even close to any of the hype surrounding this film (didn't even see any for this one, it was KnNw that I heard being praised to heaven and back) and with no bias one way or another, I gladly concluded I love this film. Again, the apology. Broke into tear spasms, dammit. |
 |
| This movie has barely recieved any attention at all in the West so far. I'd say it's underrated if anything. |
| Koe no katachi I found it awesome, even though i felt none relation toward characters, if i did i imagine it would take spot in my heart:) while Your name would be overrated, it was enjoyable movie, so i rated it highly as well but nothing of sort amazed me nearly as reputation says. |
| I'm watching it now. 1 hour and 26 minutes in. It had been sitting on my hard drive for months, so I didn't know what rating it had. Now that I see that it's a 9, fuck yes it's overrated. I like it, but it's tiresome and unrealistic at times. The animation isn't remarkable. I'll rate this a 7 when I'm done. A 6 if the last 43 minutes don't pay off. |

| Most these overhyped fans (not everyone) are halfbake anime fans. They probably have seen KokoSake before Koe No Katachi. And judge a series they never exposed to until the overate media saying "you should watch because it's good" get to them. Please, you are making this sound better than anohana. Plus this series used the same setting as kokosake a year after. |
 |
| Not overrated at all. |
| No not overrated at all. I cried like a baby and related alot with the main character. 10/10 for me |
| For me it is. I only gave 5/10. Dull animation, false and artificial emotional basis, mostly average characters, unimpressive narrative and atmosphere, poorly written script, almost failed worldbuilding, etc. The idea was brilliant, however implementation failed. It's not bad, not good.. Just average imho. |

What are you talking, the animation is amazing, it tells a lot of things just by the movements of eyes, you were sleepy or something... also the blur can simbolize that nishimiya is deaf and she cant hear her sorroundings. I sugest you to watch this video https://youtu.be/ThR8_4c-hvU |

Its only strength is really in its spectacle (Music and animation. Nothing else, definitely not directing). Agreed, it was a great movie, but definitely over-hyped for me. There are just some glaring plot holes I can't over look with Your Name. On the plus side, at least Koe no Katachi has the most character favourites of the two films. Which is especially impressive considering that Kimi no na Wa is twice as popular. Koe no Katachi: 8879 Kimi no na Wa: 5728 (Yes I did go through the work of tallying that up because I'm desperate to prove that Koe no Katachi is the better film in some way or another) Takamura-sama said: I don't understand how you could consider Anohana and Clannad Afterstory so good but Koe no Katachi not. I mean it was a 7/10 for me. A really good anime, but I think it's slightly overrated. It feels like Anohana but worse TO ME. 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. Clannad Afterstory has: A: A first season B: A cast of occasionally terrible side characters C: Only a single great moment (And 3 or 4 good moments) D: Very slow pace (As a result of adapting every arc from the visual novel instead of the main route) E: A terrible dub (And a dub is kind of necessary given the pace) Anohana is something I wouldn't dare watch a second time because of how cheap and obvious it is with its attempts to pull the heartstrings Don't get me wrong, Koe no Katachi has flaws. It's not entirely logically consistent, the ending was cringeworthy and a few lines of dialogue were very forced. However, it has an astounding density of emotional moments, character building scenes and moments that truly show Naoko Yamada's genius as a director. I like Clannad, but without a doubt, Koe no Katachi is a better anime. This isn't even a close contest. I've watched it 10 times and each time it hit me in the feels. Clannad stopped doing so the 5th time through and Kimi no na Wa didn't even get me once. I'm sure if you re-watch Koe no Katachi you'll enjoy it far more. This triggers me in more than 5 reasons. 1.Eromanga was a fun anime 2. The only reason why Koe no katachi has more favorite characters is because of the edgy bullied teenagers on mal thinking "I can relate to her/him so I'm going to put him in my favorites!" 3. I like the fact that clannad has more seasons. It makes the character not one dimensional as they are in most films. 4. Clannad had no bad side characters. Koe no katachi in contrary has close to no development for their side chars 5. Clannad after story has a total of 729273887 good moments. Yes every second of after story showed the greatness of the his masterpiece. 6. Who says slow pace is a bad thing? And the story wasn't that slow pacedown "Anohana is something I wouldn't dare watch a second time because of how cheap and obvious it is with its attempts to pull the heartstrings" multiply this by 9999 and change that to Koe no katachi and you have my opinion of this show that "captivated the viewers feelings" All Koe noe katachi is in my eyes is a meh film. It is meant for edgy teenagers who want to kill themself or get bullied or have no friends in my eyes. And mal has plenty of these people. I'm sure if I rewatch Koe no kotachi I would find it more a "cringy" film than a serious one. |

Takamura-sama said: All Koe noe katachi is in my eyes is a meh film. It is meant for edgy teenagers who want to kill themself or get bullied or have no friends in my eyes. And mal has plenty of these people. Feel free to think this film is "meh", but you are clearly wrong in your childish claim about its audience. Koe no Katachi is generally praised by critics and the global audience. But you're obviously not gonna like it if you like Eromanga-sensei, with "edgy" weebs and lolicons as target audience. |

| I took a while to respond, because how wrong you were about everything you said motivated me to re-watch Koe no Katachi (Which was magnificently enjoyable). I'm gonna break it down point by point. Takamura-sama said: Yeah sure, Eromanga Sensei was fun, but it was by no means a masterpiece (Such as that which Kimi no na Wa is being made out to be). There are more fun anime out there, such as Azumanga Daioh! and Ouran Host Club. But anyway, Kimi no na Wa is beside the point.1.Eromanga was a fun anime Takamura-sama said: I can assure you that isn't the case. The characters have astounding depth, a small portion of which will be explained in the process of countering one of your point on Koe no Katachi being "cheap and obvious with its attempts to pull the heartstrings". Also, if the reason was that simple (Nishimiya being someone the viewer sympathizes with), then would that necessarily be a bad thing. Having relatable characters isn't a criticism, and it doesn't say that being relatable is their only positive quality.The only reason why Koe no katachi has more favorite characters is because of the edgy bullied teenagers on mal thinking "I can relate to her/him so I'm going to put him in my favorites!" Takamura-sama said: The problem with Clannad having a first season, is that the first season is terrible. It's poorly written, cliche as fuck and slow.3. I like the fact that clannad has more seasons. It makes the character not one dimensional as they are in most films. Takamura-sama said: I present Ryou as an example, a character who's sole abilities are fortune telling and loving the protagonist. Tsunohara who's sole character traits are stupidity and delinquency. The writers of Clannad seem to believe having two character traits prevents characters from being one dimensional.4. Clannad had no bad side characters. Koe no katachi in contrary has close to no development for their side chars . Takamura-sama said: No anime has that many good moments. I'll admit maybe 4-5 was an understatement but it's definitely below 20. If you consider any anime perfect, you don't understand the nature of this medium. I'll admit only about 90% of Koe no Katachi is good, and that's from someone who loves it shamelessly. Anyway, to start with the first 8 or so episodes of afterstory are completely mediocre. For the remaining episodes, it fluctuates in quality, ultimately coming together to form a great whole, but nonetheless ends up being a lesser product than Koe no Katachi5. Clannad after story has a total of 729273887 good moments. Yes every second of after story showed the greatness of the his masterpiece. Takamura-sama said: The issue is, Clannad adapts multiple arcs of the visual novel it's based on, which is a problem because every arc other than the main one is mediocre. Perhaps slow pace might not be the correct word, but at least I'd say it definitely goes nowhere for too long. I know the movie adapts only the main arc and is terrible, but that's because the director isn't very good and a movie is too short. So yeah, I think my issue is with the first season and first 8 episodes of after story when referring to pace. If those were cut out and replaced with something more concise it'd be a better watch. 6. Who says slow pace is a bad thing? And the story wasn't that slow pacedown Takamura-sama said: Koe no Katachi is neither cheap nor obvious about its emotional moments. The greatest emotional moments are both compelling and subtle. This is where I'll provide examples of the disparity in character depth."Anohana is something I wouldn't dare watch a second time because of how cheap and obvious it is with its attempts to pull the heartstrings" multiply this by 9999 and change that to Koe no katachi and you have my opinion of this show that "captivated the viewers feelings" a: When Ueno and Yaeko fight, Yuzuru tries to tell them to stop, but stops part way through. Previously, she (accidentally typed "he" for a moment there) made decisions for everyone else. Preventing Ishida from interacting with Nishimiya, ignoring her mothers insistence that she and Nishimiya avoid Ishida, using the photos as a suicide countermeasure. In this scene it is made apparent that she doesn't trust her own judgement anymore and because of that, she is unable to tell them to stop fighting. This is definitely a tragic moment if you pick up on the nuance here, and conveys a depth of character Clannad can only dream of. b: I'm gonna show you a scene here quickly to speed this one up. In this scene, it is conveyed through the subtleties of her expression that she both has a desire to befriend Nishimiya, and finds the barriers between their interaction far too insurmountable. After which, she leaves with her clique and says goodbye to Nishimiya, which is her gently saying she doesn't want her around. Her inability to communicate contributes to her bullying Nishimiya, and directly causes her bullying of Sahara. I interpret her bullying of Sahara as her jealousy, she envies Sahara for being able to talk so freely with Nishimiya and because of that detests her. Takamura-sama said: I do not even remotely comprehend your logic here. Is One Punch Man meant for overpowered superheroes? is Steins;gate meant for time travellers? Is psycho-pass meant for law enforcement? The subject matter and target audience aren't the same thing. All Koe noe katachi is in my eyes is a meh film. It is meant for edgy teenagers who want to kill themself or get bullied or have no friends in my eyes. And mal has plenty of these people. Footnote: I should probably be clear on something quickly before I go. I by no means intend to say Clannad Afterstory is a irredeemably bad anime (despite the gravity of my arguments), I just mean to say that it is both imperfect and not as good as Koe no Katachi. EDIT: I realize neither of the examples of nuanced tragedy and character depth I provided were related to the protagonists. I do have examples for them already conceived if you really must hear of them. |

In this scene it is made apparent that she doesn't trust her own judgement anymore and because of that, she is unable to tell them to stop fighting. This is definitely a tragic moment if you pick up on the nuance here, and conveys a depth of character Clannad can only dream of. b: I'm gonna show you a scene here quickly to speed this one up. In this scene, it is conveyed through the subtleties of her expression that she both has a desire to befriend Nishimiya, and finds the barriers between their interaction far too insurmountable. After which, she leaves with her clique and says goodbye to Nishimiya, which is her gently saying she doesn't want her around. Her inability to communicate contributes to her bullying Nishimiya, and directly causes her bullying of Sahara. I interpret her bullying of Sahara as her jealousy, she envies Sahara for being able to talk so freely with Nishimiya and because of that detests her. Takamura-sama said: I do not even remotely comprehend your logic here. Is One Punch Man meant for overpowered superheroes? is Steins;gate meant for time travellers? Is psycho-pass meant for law enforcement? The subject matter and target audience aren't the same thing. All Koe noe katachi is in my eyes is a meh film. It is meant for edgy teenagers who want to kill themself or get bullied or have no friends in my eyes. And mal has plenty of these people. Footnote: I should probably be clear on something quickly before I go. I by no means intend to say Clannad Afterstory is a irredeemably bad anime (despite the gravity of my arguments), I just mean to say that it is both imperfect and not as good as Koe no Katachi. EDIT: I realize neither of the examples of nuanced tragedy and character depth I provided were related to the protagonists. I do have examples for them already conceived if you really must hear of them. I am not even going to give you a serious reply after this bullshit i just read. I just finished my amazing workout and I'm going to end this here. |

Koe no Katachi is generally praised by critics and the global audience. But you're obviously not gonna like it if you like Eromanga-sensei, with "edgy" weebs and lolicons as target audience. Lol I think that I liked eromanga more than Koe no katachi. my reason for this: I thought eromanga was hilarious |
