The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Really tried to like this one. But the story structure is all over the place. And there is no clear resolution. And, c'mon, couldn't they at least kiss after 2 hours of constantly dreaming about being apart of each other?? Yeah "the arts and what's not.." how many times will you rewatch this movie?

A silent voice reviewI watched this movie yesterday, and similar to your name I didn't really know what to think at first. But here are my thoughts:Visuals: Everything felt very detailed, in a very good way. I usually don't like animated movies that make characters look too much like reality. Not that I want to escape it, but that it usually looks very weird. But this film manages to not do that. Sometimes the backgrounds were so realistic that it felt like they put in a clip fron reality which is very impressive. But what I liked most about the animation was how well they put emotions into characters without saying a single word. You could almost see the movie without audio and you would still know what the characters felt, especially one of them that has a good reason to not speak. I also really liked some of the symbolism in the movie that has to do with social anxiety.The story: This was probably my favorite part of the movie. If I were to describe it, the story is about a depressed deaf girl and a socially anxious boy that both think that everything is their fault. I love how they make the audience feel for both of the characters, you wanted to help them through what they were going through. There also many small things about the movie that I loved, but the movie was just amazing in general. I loved the theme in the movie and I love how it all ends. I also don't think I found a single plothole in the movie, which is really good coming from someone who usually puts too much meaning in small things. I loved how they treated the very serious moments in the movie, they made the movie one of the most emotional I have seen. The voice acting: It was all very good. They fit their characters and they did a great job in general. But the weird thing is that the only character that barely talks was the one who made the beat job in my opinion.Music: It was great. Some were fine, some were fantastic, some didn't fit into the scene they were in and some were just really weird. But they were mostly very goodCharacters: They were almost all great. I found one that was a little annoying sometimes, but the rest were great. They all had their pros and cons which they acknowledge in the movie, which I really liked. And that was it. I would highly recommend the movie if you are into drama films. I don't think it is my favorite anime or movie of all time, but definitely in my top 5 because of the serious story elements and the animation

I watched this movie only yesterday, and I was really entertained by the whole movie. But it wasn't until today that I realized just how much I loved it. Various scenes went around in my head and the messages of the movie were made clear in my mind.Is this the greatest movie ever made? No. Is it one of my personal favorite movies of all time? Without a doubt, the answer is yes.From a story point of view, Koe no Katachi is a very unique movie. To my knowledge, there has never been an animated movie based around a Deaf character in any shape or form, and if there were, the deafness is usually used as a comedic tool. This movie takes the concept of a deaf girl and uses it as an aid for emotion. This is a redemption story, about a man who tries to redeem himself not for anyone else in particular, but instead for himself and the girl, as he realizes that what he did all those years ago was wrong and he needs to put them rightAs this is an Anime movie, Art is very important to get right. This movie has an believably beautiful, yet simplistic art style. For me, it fits somewhere between the shade and detail heavy (yet somewhow still simplistic) Kimi No Na Wa and the simple shade light style of Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo. It's very pleasing to the eyes and heavily relies on a lot of light shades of colour, which contrasts very nicely with any shading it might useSoundwise, the movie uses a lot of pleasing piano melodies that accentuate the raw emotional parts of certain scenes and really draws you in. The use of the Who's 'My Generation' at the start isn't something that I expected in this kind of film (usually it's a J-Rock or J-Pop song), but it fits with the part it's used in. The neding some also has beautiful lyrics that sum up the messages in the movieThe characters in this film all have defining traits that make them stand out. The main character's redemption completely changes his character, to the point where he changes for the better, while still containing elements of his personality of his younger self. The deaf girl is a beautiful character who only wants people to understand what she's been through and to always show a smile and always look on the bright side. She is without a doubt my favorite character in the movie, as her determination to put things right even if they aren't her fault really spoke to me and I really wanted her to be happy. Plus I thought she was just really adorable and by the end I just really wanted to reach out and give her a big hug and let her know everything is OK. i won't talk about the other characters as it would spoil key points, but they are all vital to the development of the 2 main characters and all have defining traits.This was one of the most enjoyable movies that I had ever seen. The amount of thought that went into writing every word was evident. Every second of this movie was top quality and I couldn't pick a single flaw at any point in the film. There were just so many messages in the film, but I think that main one was basically; No matter what you've done in your past, if you've ever bullied anyone or picked on anyone, if you've done harm to others, it is never too late to redeem yourselves. Even if it's just for yourself so you aren't haunted by your past, or if you want to put things right with someone who deserves all the best or didn't deserve hate in the past. The important thing to remember is if you really try, you can create good deeds from bad memories. Getting into Anime really has been on of the best things I've ever done. The quality of the stories, the emotional values and the effect it has you is like nothing I've ever witnessed before.

I tell ya, this was one of the hardest anime film I have ever watched. I was literally so angry at Shôya and Ueno for throwing away Shoko's eight hearing aids (nearly nine when Ueno did try again to throw away Shokos hearing aids). They really were such bullies that if either of them were my children, I would definitely give them great punishment that would wake them up for the rest of their lives. I actually was really glad that Shoyas mother took money out of his bank account and paid Shokos mother. You would definitely feel sorry for Shoko, she was so badly picked on because of who she was as a deaf person. I don't know anyone personally who is deaf but unfortunately, I am sure bullying regarding deaf people exists and its just not fair for them because they didn't ask for it. It really is sad the world we live in. I was even glad this wasn't a romance this time, normally I would say the main characters should be together but in this film, it would be better off to not have Shoko and Shoya to be together romantically. I mean, I really wish Shoya didn't have to meet him again for the way he treated her, although I feel sorry for him that he is thinking of suicide, so is Shoko. It is definitely not a nice feeling when you bullied someone, you are full of guilt and you meet them again with regret hanging over you. That's why I think it would be better to not have the pair of them meet together again. Its a really good film too despite its very sad concept. It really does wake you up to wanting to help someone who is bullied and is in need of support from a friend. Bullying always needs to stop, please help someone who is in need of help folks <3
