Koe no Katachi

For those of you who have seen Koe no Katachi, what did you think?

I thought the ending was a little disappointing; it would've been nice for them to show Shouya reconciling with his old pals instead of the crosses just dropping off their faces. Also more romantic development, especially considering nothing ever came of Shouko's failed confession and how they were baiting it hard in the middle part. All in all though I thought it was great. Solid animation and enough feels to make me want to get out my seat and slap a bitch (looking at you Ueno).

I liked the ending.

Where did you two see it?

Sleeper hit. Shinkai is a hack.

I thought the movie ending at the festival with all the Xs falling off was a much better place to leave off then the BAD epilogue we got in the manga - don't think it would really work in a movie anyways

Haven't seen it, but having read the manga ending at dropping the Xs seems good to me. Wraps things up thematically, I don't think the movie needs to waste our time with what happens after, you know?

I read the manga. I don't wanna see the movie anymore.


I didn't think it was as great as I thought it would be.

I am a bit worried. So far, Yamada has never made any mistakes. I'm worried this will ruin her perfect track record.

What are Tamako and Euphonium then?

The bird was a single, small mistake that just happened to ruin the show. Other than that, it was amazing. Euphonium was also well made. And it was made by two people, I'll just blame the bad things on the other guy and give credit for the good stuff to Yamada.
ONE mistake in all of her carreer.

I preferred the ending myself.

Found it weird how some stuff was left out, like Satoshi not punching Shouya on the bridge.

If you say so.

A shitty truncated adaptation of a good manga.

I bet the majority of people praising it are delusional KyoAnuslickers who didn't even read the manga.

THey probably read Spanish

An amazing movie out of a mediocre manga. Based Yamada does it again.

I just want a fucking Punpun movie.

I think if Yamada were a bit better at male characters she'd actually be a good choice to direct. Probably not at Kyoani though.

She's getting better at them, could use some tips from Takebro though

I really wanna see how she did Shouya, there was that interview recently where she talked about it and I liked what she said. Mochizou and his gang were straight up laughable. Not really sure Takemoto is any good either.

Saw it at a deaf awareness thing back in November in the UK. It's at film festivals too.

>However, now that I’ve made this film, I feel that the differences between genders are incredibly trivial. If you make something by thinking “what kind of person are they” when looking at their root or the core of who they are, then the problems of “they’re a guy so…” or “they’re a girl so…” become immensely trivial. Because of that, even in A Silent Voice, I portrayed Shoya Ishida just as a person. Looking back at the characters in the works I’ve done up until now, surely I portrayed them like that too. Since I would delve into them by thinking “this girl would think like this and feel like this,” they weren’t depicted with a shallow reason like “she’s a girl, so she would like this.” So surprisingly, I was just worrying over something on the surface of the character.
Funny how it takes so long to realize this

I heard that they dropped the movie-making subplot. If so, then good riddance.

How annoying is Ueno in this one? Did they include the epic slapfight between Ueno, Shoko, and Shoko'smom? Best action scene I've ever seen in a manga desu.

Yeah they did drop it.

She's still pretty annoying and they did include that, but it rushes straight there after you find out he's been hospitalised. Also they neglect to include why Ueno is being a bitch in the hospital.

>Mochizou and his gang were straight up laughable
That's one of my my main complaints with Market.

They got their cool bonding moments in the movie though, so I forgive Yamada for the bro-suppression in Tamako.

The bitchiest Mio clone ever (Ueno) has small tits

Is this karma? All the other Mio clones had a nice pair of knockers

Leeds Film Festival, UK.

And now Ueno is the bestest Mio.

She's based af tho, I'll give her that.

Ueno is like the anti Mio.
