learn how to deal depression and regrettness with shape of voice
It's amazing to see when you come back from your depression. You feel that you're starting a new life or journey.
The feeling of loneliness is good sometimes but sometimes you feel that you're doing nothing in your life. You're empty inside and have no thoughts You want to talk with your friends but you're not able to do so just because you don't know how to tell You feel regret just because you have done nothing best in your life. You can't change your past and you think that the present is like a roller coaster and you are those who are just seeing this for a very long time but without reason. Your mind is not inside you, you're searching for someone or something but you don't know what this is. I feel the same things every day.
But this silent voice gave me hope that everything is possible if you want. I want to say a lot but I think it's enough to tell you about how amazing the movie is this. - ashantebacon - 23 December 2023
One of if not the BEST slice of life anime movies out there
This movie i have seen so many times and is one of the first slice of life anime movies to make me cry, the animation, music, story, and voice acting was just so beautiful, it literally made me learn sign language and teach my little brother and sister, this movie taught so many lessons and brought about so many different emotions and scenarios. While the premise of the film revolves around Shoyo Ishida, who attempts to make amends with a deaf girl he bullied in the 6th grade, the main story focuses on his relationships with the people around him. Ishida's journey is a tale of bullying, friendship, mental health, love and redemption and everything just comes together so well. I highly recommend everybody watch this masterpiece of a film. - jkpradeep - 29 July 2023
Thank God for Japanese Anime.
Watching this movie was really an experience for me. I was bullied a lot in my life. That made my blood boil when Shoko was being treated the way she was. Her good nature only made me even more anxious as the movie goes on. But man, this movie just made me a sore wound. I was crying through most of the movie. This movie is so sad and very heart warming.
The screenplay is another huge advantage as we don't always know what's going to happen next. The music is amazing. Especially "qut", "slt" and "vignette" are so good that I added them to my regular playing.
Animation is just stunning. The might be one of the most beautiful anime's I have seen. The symbolism in the movie is also really good.
Shoya and Shoko give each other a reason to live.
This is one of the movies you wish they didn't end. I can't get enough of Shoko. Wish I had a girlfriend like her. We all need a friend like Nagatsuka. Life would be great when you have a sister like Yuzuru in it.
The main problem however is those flashback scenes without context making it hard to comprehend what just happened but apart from that, this movie true gem capturing us throughout it's runtime. - vsm-81080 - 6 October 2022
My favorite movie of all time
I never write reviews. But for my this movie I would make an exception. This movie is absolutely fantastic, I was filled with emotions through the entire movie and not once was I ever bored of watching. I loved watching the main character redeem himself as well as the *unspoken* romance between the two. This is one of those movies when you finish it, you don't know what to do with yourself and you're left sitting there thinking about how sad and beautiful of a movie that was. At least that's how I felt about this movie after watching it.. If you haven't seen this movie: It is ABSOLUTELY worth watching! - scottennen-16681 - 9 July 2022
Amazing
This film dealt with the topics of suicide, anxiety, self-doubt, as well as the value of friendship and family. It did so in a beautifully done cinematic way. I haven't cried so hard watching a movie in a long time, and I'm going to treasure this movie for a while. I certainly related to the subject matter, and instead of making me feel worse, it gave me something to take comfort in. If you're up for it, I highly recommend it. - pk-72718 - 29 April 2022
A story about empathy and deprerssion
I love the way this movie represents how making connections with people can heal depression and how there is always a second chance to correct your past mistakes although it can be a very hard and long path. Although depression and your past mistakes doesn't always disappear completely, there is always a certain capacity to feel and enjoy life again........
Adieu.
