Koe no Katachi

Whoever told me to watch this, you're an asshole.

we're not assholes, it's an important message that too few people will ever learn or know, that in itself is why it's a masterpiece.

Oh no. Beautiful girls are being bullied. Somebody help the beautiful girls from being bullied.

it's about a disabled kid being bullied over something they have no power to change and the bullies quest of redemption. Leave it to Sup Forums to focus on cute things being cute before all and any substance.

All I was told was that it made a lot of people cry and I should watch it

I was expecting sad feels, not suicidal feels

whoever told you it makes you cry wasn't letting you on to it's powerlevel, it's a 100 megaton bomb to the feels, in the same class as grave of the fireflies

I'm learning deaf sign language because of this lovable cunt

I wouldn't say this is quite on the level of Grave, either in terms of poignancy or filmmaking, but it's a damn good movie nonetheless. Yamada is probably the only contemporary anime director worth a damn.

It was so uplifting in the end though-

>I was expecting sad feels, not suicidal feels
But user the entire movie was Yamada telling you that everything is going to be alright.

As opposed to non-deaf sign language?

this anime was very kafkaesque. like if you agree

Because of Aqua?

Well, whatever your motivator is, good on ya

Yes, user

I'm not sure if non-Americans know about this kind of sign language

How is the manga compared to the movie? I'm so in love with her.

maybe UUUU

to anyone that's actually deaf to some degree or knows someone that is, this movie is rocky balboa vs your feels

it's all a matter of perspective of life nigga, and that's exactly what this movie is trying to teach - perspective. Still, I think you user's are giving Yamada a bit more credit than he deserves, Yoshitoki Ōima (a grill no less) laid the groundwork and he merely filtered out the noise and debris, commendable work, but y'all act like it's all his genius magic.

>Koe no Katachi is sad

It is.
My waifu would never imply otherwise!

Anal

>Handicapped anything

How do these people live with themselves ever again? Call me a pussy but I would never be the same if I lost a hand or the ability to see

The film is a far different (and stronger) beast than the manga, I'll give credit where I think it's due.

It's called dealing with things that you have no choice but to deal with, user.

>Feeling bad for literal subhumans

>the film is stronger
Nigga the manga was much better in every aspect.

But I do have a choice If I ever turn to the point I need outsiders for me to help myself I can kill yourself

Whatever you say

One less weakling with 0 mental fortitude.

>sample

What do you mean? Can I watch this with my gf?

I'm halfway to blindness (RP), it's not the same as being deaf, but it sucks anyway. The movie shows really well how frustrating is being disabled because communication with others is hard as fuck sometimes.
I'm lucky enough to be able to enjoy this movie and anime in general right now.

>watching kimi no nawa and this back to back

Today is feels factory day

Yes, it's a movie for everyone. It has a compelling story, with good charachters and a strong message, and is a well made movie technically speaking.

Yamada is a woman by the way.

didn't know that, interesting. Seems like grills in nip land actually step their game up.

I did the same like a week ago.
Watched Kimi no na wa and in sequence I watched Koe no Katachi. It was a very teary day.

Being blind probably worse than deaf. I'm borderline deaf and would probably kill myself if I was blind
>tfw I did this
>tfw feel overdose

>blind
>want to kill yourself
>cant find the things you need to kill yourself
Such an existence must be suffering beyond comprehension.

This movie was great up until the ending, which was a bag of dicks. Why the fucking hell are they friends with the turbocunt black-haired chick still? Why did he suddenly get over his social anxiety? All it felt like was a completely undeserved lazy way to wrap it up.

rape

I believe what they were trying to say was to let go of the past and move forward.

>Being blind probably worse than deaf. I'm borderline deaf and would probably kill myself if I was blind
if youre blind you cant watch anime

This show was trash, literally completely contrived bullying for pity porn, no kids would literally be that evil, at least not in a country like japan. Africa maybe.

This anime fucked me up

Much more than others usually do

I used to get bullied and bully others back horribly

I don't want to feel things anymore

Have you never been to school, this kind of stuff happens in every school, all the time, all around the world

>being homeschooled

>at least not in a country like japan
lol

I wanted to hatefuck Ueno with a vengeance.

>at least not in a country like japan
The author got sued because the manga talked about bullying too much

>bullies go to the trouble of wrecking her desk EVERY DAY, teachers do nothing
>bullies destroy her hearing aids 8 times, teachers dont do anything

Bullying happens but it's not fucking obvious and in the open like this, also not that young. Also you would get bullied for either being a.) a slut or b.) a social outcast/ otaku, not for just being deaf. You think that the perfect storm for pity-porn is anywhere near realistic, think again.

Fuck that, if someone told a deaf friend she should have succeeded after a suicide attempt, that person is blacklisted from my life

Aren't bullies just the absolute worse? I could never be a bully.

There are some very apathetic teachers out there, like the one in this movie. And she is a social outcast you idiot, she talks weird and can't communicate normally, and kids aren't going to put up with that. If you don't think the weird girl who tried to hang out with people that didn't want to be her friend didn't get bullied in school, you're delusional. That shit happens daily, in like every school

>Also you would get bullied for either being a.) a slut or b.) a social outcast/ otaku

Her being deaf made her a social outcast. And if you think teachers turning a blind eye to this kind of thing is unrealistic you should try checking the news some times.

Ueno is perfect.

this bitch was worse than ueno

In the manga yes, she barely existed in the movie

You do realize it's a work of fiction made to produce the maximum amount of cringe/ pity in the viewer, right?

Kids don't have a fully developed sense of empathy. Middle school bullying can be the worst because kids don't realize how evil they're being

The age old question of how guilty are bystanders, really

Either way, when i was watching it made me cringe how desperate the author was to make you pity this deaf girl

I do think it was a misstep to make her sooo perfect and nice. I imagine living with that kind of bullying would make you bitter and depressed, but then she'd be a less likable character I guess

You're supposed to feel bad for everyone. Except Kawai. She's a bitch for no reason.

Maybe if she got raped half way through the movie I'd call it that, It's honestly fairly realistic, if a somewhat extreme example.

Please, give an example of said "desperation"

Ya usually people who are bullied that hard begin to become extremely socially isolated and bitter as a protection mechanism because they stop trusting people. That kind of shit is why school shootings happen

>I do think it was a misstep to make her sooo perfect and nice. I imagine living with that kind of bullying would make you bitter and depressed

Movieonlyfags are a mistake.

So perfect she tried to kill herself

WE

she existed enough for me to hate her

get out

I'm honestly surprised they got away with having a black and mixed character

hahaha I love Sup Forums memes too bro, Kill yourself

UMA

I want to plant my seed deep inside ueno

Is this your first anime?

>they got away with
what did he mean by this

Seriously. People act like being pretty exempts you from being a human with human problems.

This is probably the most heart-warming smile I will ever see in my life.

Desu black characters in anime are already pretty rare, even rarer are black characters who had a child with a japanese character

I watched them a few months apart and I love them both for the different types of feels they gave me.

learn to make webm plz

Why would you get suicidal feels from a movie about two broken people who hate themselves due in large part to their past experiences with one another learning to become friends and beginning to learn to live with themselves because of one another? It gave me happy feels.

Not sure. Everything translates into sadness for me. I don't know what it's like to be happy. Maybe because I can relate to these people so much but will never experience what they do. Anime was supposed to be about escapism for me, not crushing reality.

Author wasn't willing to give any of the blame to deaf girl, she made 0 mistakes and had 0 personality flaws.

Do you want to be my friend?

What's going to be the next tearjerker movie? I vote Kimi no Suizou wo Tabetai. Style looks like Shinkai for whatever reason.
youtube.com/watch?v=uRRXcXgjdRo

The whole message of the movie, as I read it, was that no one should be blamed and that mistakes can be forgiven. Besides that, Ueno and Shouko herself make her faults pretty clear. Why would someone who never made mistakes try to kill herself?

People without flaws don't want to kill themselves.

No I am happier and safer completely alone

I got the suicide vibe too. I started remembering the shitty things i did in highschool and basically came to the conclusion that I'm a piece of shit.

But too many people depend on me now and the person i was the biggest piece of shit is nowhere to be found on the internet... which makes me think he killed himself a long time ago.

So basically i should an hero, but doing so would make me a bigger piece of shit.

Movie totally wrecked me though.

I wish you happy days, I too am in a similar situation.

Her mistake was not getting the fucking message that those kids didn't want to be friends with her when they were little. Try a different group, not one that actively rejects you.

you clearly lack the perspective here, so I'll enlighten you - this girl has no friends, none. not one. She damn well knows she's a 'broken' human, so she'll put up with a lot of shit if that means making a friend, because she is lonely to fault. You were supposed to actually think into that "why does she put up with this?"

...

>shouko is too perfect
i would think people on Sup Forums would understand the mind of someone who feels worthless and like a burden to everyone around them.

maybe I didn't look at it that way, but the movie doesn't do a good job of portraying that to be the case. she comes across as naturally forgiving, not forcing herself to forgive.

Why don't you fuck off to Sup Forums, user? We don't want your kind around here.

No, literally the entire point of Ueno (besides being a massive cunt) was point out Shouko's mistakes, albeit while acting like a bitch herself. Trying to take all the blame out of good will while being in such a negative situation is a pretty damn big mistake, which is something she learns towards the end of the movie.

>0 personality flaws
If you've had the chance to meet people that have been disabled during their a big portion (or entire, in this case) life, you may have seen that they have some sort of tendency to act particularly nice and friendly. I myself don't really know why, I just assume it's because being in a position where you are constantly in need of others just to do basic things means you can't afford to act like an asshole to others, considering you might need their assistance or help in the near future. Even then, she wasn't exaggeratedly "perfect". The lack of self-confidence is in and of itself a flaw, to begin with.

You're probably right. Now I want to rewatch the movie and see her become genuinely happy again

thats bracken famalam.
