I know of the layout you are using, but I didn't know the tags are like that. I guess I need to look at that layout more closely. Thank you for the information.
Hmmmm, I would suggest Yona of Dawn, and you also might like Tokyo Ravens, Noragami, and Appare-Ranman! They are all good and quite fun shows, also they dip more into fantasy and the super natural (except for Appare-Ranman! which is just a good show and I think you would enjoy it.) Idk a ton about Iseki but you also might like the Cautious Hero: The Hero Is Overpowered but Overly Cautious (it's main focus is on comedy).
Yeah that makes sense; I actually had similar expectations going in and I like hyped myself up for a month and then when I finally watched, it somehow surpassed even those expectations which is why it still remains a 10/10 even in my semi-new rating system lol
But yeah different opinions are great (until fans start bombarding your profile over a review I wrote LOL)
LOL that's a very different interpretation of Koe no Katachi, but I think it's an extremely well-done movie because it hits really close to home in numerous aspects.
The bullying backstory serves to illustrate how brutal little kids can be, which I believe many ppl on MAL (including myself) can relate to this in ther childhood. It's all fun and games until it gets serious when Nishimiya transfer schools and starts a chain reaction where Ishida is bullied and laments what he did to Nishimiya. It's definitely wrong and he realized that and was constantly hammered by the fact he was a horrible person.
As someone who personally resonates with strong character development and repentance stories, the way it was written trying to come in contact and reconnect with someone he wronged reminded me (without going into too much detail) of my brother and myself when we distanced for a long period of time; Ishida was all alone (kinda like I was for most of my life) until he found Nagatsuka, his new best friend. That scene in particular warmed my heart and reminded of the time where I myself connected with someone as a teenager for the first time.
The story of how Ishida found the courage to meet up with Nishimiya again and try to show how he changed and make up for what he did in the past, but also try gradually becoming with her friend is a life metaphor for not just me, but the ppl I watched the movie with, cause we all had pasts of bullying and/or loneliness. I will admit I cried many times and even sobbed for the first time. I used so many tissues even before the fireworks scene.
There were many harsh moments that struck me like Ueno's behavior and Kawai's defensiveness, but the way Ueno and Kawai changed overtime despite trying and failing to also become better people was honestly touching (especially the thousand paper cranes reference). I watched this movie during a bit of mentally rough time, so watching that along with the apologies from both Nishimiya's family near the end of the movie broke my psyche.
Although you do have a valid opinion on the ending, I don't agree because I believe it is was the last step Ishida needed to accept his past and face forward (as cheesy as it sounds). The Xs on people's faces he couldn't see finally disappeared because he was able to face people instead of looking down all the time. After many years of not being able to look most ppl in the eye, he was able to bring himself to do just that because he had friends he could turn to and count on. He really grew as a person.
Nothing is perfect, but I would argue that it is subjectively perfect. A lot of animes blind you with tears because they are sob stories, but even in hindsight, Koe no Katachi for me holds a strong message I never want to forget.
In the end, this is all my opinion so you can take it with a grain of salt LOL I realize not everyone thinks the same as I do and that's okay. I hope I satisfied your curiousity though xd
lol thank you very much!! I started writing tags to make my MAL exp more fun so I'm glad you find them interesting ^^ happy to talk about anything we've both watched also ^_^
thank you so much! i hope you enjoy it when you get to watching violet! only a small handful of people on this site use tags in their lists, it's a shame because it's always nice hearing someone else's written opinion on a show, rather than a numbered score with no explanation.
