This is an anime that is beautifully animated by the much beloved Studio Kyoto. Overall, it was a very enjoyable film and I can't wait for the disc release.Ī Silent Voice is a VERY popular anime and I can see its appeal.
#A silent voice sad movie
The movie was able to deliver the core plot of the manga. But unfortunately while following the path, they dropped a lot of it's side content. The movie tried to stay true to the manga as best as it could and in the core elements in delivering the original message that the manga had, it succeeded. Besides that, not much to write home about. The creative use of music in the film is a bonus.
Voice acting was top notch and sounded very familiar to daily Japanese life. The high quality is retained throughout the entire film and no lazy production was visible. It's no Makoto Shinkai film, but the quality is nothing to scoff at. Besides having some overally familiar Kyoani characters faces, Kyoto Animation has done a excellent job in representing the characters true to the manga. Often when the audience was laughing, it was usually when Nagatsuka was at his antics.Īs for the art, no complaints here. But that also meant those who haven't were left scratching their heads.īesides the emotional road trip of your lifetime, Nagatsuka's moments in the film are very comedic and actually funny in a lot of ways. Many details were left out, but the film retained a lot of the core elements from the manga in puzzle pieces, allowing those who read the manga to fill in the gaps to understand what it means. As I had heard people talking about while leaving the theater. This meant that people who haven't read the manga can be very confused by the end of the movie. The only character who avoided this cut was Yuzuru who retained a lot of her details and character development. Character development with the side characters were very lacking and a lot of important details were stripped apart leaving a big hole in the story. With audiences who hasn't read the manga asking why some characters were even there. And the overall story was ultimately incomplete because of this. Unfortunately, the remaining characters were pretty much left out. Same with Shoko, though the film did leave out some specifics, the repercussions of Shoko's existence could be felt where one may even agree with Ueno who despised her. The movie clearly delivered his character and it was very easy to sympathize and relate to the character. However, story/character development of Shoya was spot on. Perhaps it was because of the limit of having to cram the story into a 2 hour film that the writers had to cut corners. The story falls short, very short in terms of character/plot progression outside of the two main characters. That being said, this is no perfect movie. Not to say it wasn't a bad movie, but if you liked that one, you will certainly like this.īe prepared for a emotional roller coaster as the movie plays with your ever so weakening heart as the movie progresses. Even comparing to a similar anime film Anthem of the Heart, which surprisingly lacked the ability to really give me a tearful moment. However, much to my surprise, it has been a very, very long time since I have cried that much while watching a movie. not expecting much tears as I have pretty much dried up my emotional experience with this manga. Having read the manga 4 times over and crying every time, I went into the theater At Keisei Rosa10 in Chiba on September 17th. 8 - Definitely would watch again.įor those wondering how and where I watched this film, I watched in Japan. 10 - Tears, sadness, anger, happiness and laughs, the whole package. 7 - Side characters had their story severely cut. Nothing too special and memorable besides theme song. 10 - Characters true to their manga designs, high quality animation.
7 - Plot holes and cut sub-plots, excluded from the original script/manga.
