A Silent Voice is more than just my favourite film, it's a truly humanising & empathetic experience that I'll never forget. Today, I finally talk about how special it is to me! This is the longest & most personal video I have ever made, so I would be grateful if you could share it around and subscribe! Who knew that I would be making +20 minute videos back to back! Hope you all enjoy and I'll see you all next time.

A small but noticable detail, that is often overlooked, is Shoya's body language in the elementary school scenes. - When the teacher introduced the students to sing language, you can see Shoya trying to mimic the signs they were taught with his hands. But when Ueno voiced her dislike for it, he stopped. - When the teacher asked the students who bullied Shoko to come forth, Shoya was about to timidly raise his hand, because he just realized for the first time, how much pain he caused Shoko. But the teacher singled him out before he found the courage to turn himself in. I don't blame an 8 year old for having no concept of cause and affect, especially emotionally, even adults don't really get that. He is in elementary school exatly to learn that. I also don't blame him for not having the courage to immediately stand up for his and others faults, which is again something most adults don't do. It's especially tragic, because he was the only participant who's show signs of empathy, remorse and courage. That's also the reason for his mental state as a teenager, because now he thinks he deserves everything bad that's coming to him and nothing good that does. He thinks of himself as the worst human being, while actually having been one of the kindest from the start.

I think it was "I thought that, if I showed her death looked like she would stop saying that she wanted to kill herself" :((

Something I don't often see remarked upon, Shoya has his face hidden for the entirety of the bridge scene. Nishimiya has no idea what he's saying, she doesn't know that he's lashing out, that he's hurting them, she just sees everyone is upset and leaving. We see Shoya putting words in people's mouths because he hates himself and doesn't let himself hear what they're actually saying. Nishimiya has both problems turned up to 11, she must have spent her whole life putting hateful words in other people's mouths and, in that scene, I wholeheartedly believe she genuinely thought they were all coming to the conclusion that she wasn't worth being friends with anymore

I was born with sensorineural hearing loss, and we discovered it when I was only 6 months old, and I’ve worn hearing aids since then. I’m now 26, and I can’t even begin to tell you how incredibly cathartic and connected to this film I’ve been. I watched it when it first came out and I’ve watched it at least once a year since. I definitely felt like this movie was made for me in so many ways. I’ve always thought they portrayed the experience I had as a child growing up, and how isolated and how much of a burden you can feel. I’ve been lucky to have always had friends around me who have always tried their best to understand me but this movie just hits so hard in so many ways.

ah, dark humor

I think what made A Silent Voice to me so special was realizing that my childhood really defined who I am in my early 20's and late teens. The trauma of simple childhood experiences is something that I didn't realize until later on. Being 25 (26 in four days) I am more confident in myself and know that those early experiences in life are nothing that should define me or other people. The film also helped me to embrace myself with all of my flaws from anxiety to depression, even isolation at times. To me, this film really champions feeling good about yourself and who you are. Shouko hates herself for so many reasons, Shouya hates himself for so many reasons - it taught me that everyone on the inside no matter who you are hates something about themselves. We all hold something inside of us that is nasty and reductive of everything we do, but at the end of the day, we all know our self-worth. This film to me is one of the all-time greats and should be watched by whatever age, whether you're a young guy like or, a kid or even someone middle-aged or even older. This is an important film.

I think it's slightly sad but also so incredible how much I relate to Shoya. I've always been that one friend that happened to stir up trouble in relationships. Thought childhood, all my "friends" would say their parents weren't allowed to be friends with me because I was constantly getting into fights and was falling asleep in school. Although there were people who wanted to support me, I always have felt alone. This movie was like a call to me. Like someone finally reached for my hand and said, "I get it." thank you to everyone who worked on A Silent Voice. This movie means the world to me.

I try to make this a deep quote, but it’s not. She WAS speaking. (Listening and hearing are different things) he should’ve been listening.

He acknowledges that she was speaking, they both were but he wasn't listening.

We already know she hates herself for being deaf. Although... I’m not sure what he said in Japanese whether he said heard or understood (as they’re different in Japanese too) and it was just a translation thing.

I didn't cry throughout the anime but when I saw the girl standing on the balcony ledge I cried so much and had to pause the anime. As someone that's struggled with depression/suicidal thoughts and still does, it absolutely kills me to see anybody in that same pain, even if they're just fictional.

I saw the title and wanted to pause at 4 seconds in to say A Silent Voice also saved me. I was the bully in high school that got kicked out. I became best friends my last year with someone I use to bully. Honestly she's just so perfect and I was jealous. The movie made me realize I need to change❤️love you all

The scene when the crosses fall of the characters' faces hit so close to home. After losing all my friends, being isolated and bullied by my classmates, outside off school friends and family at a young age I've lost all my confidence, developed social anxiety and fell into depression and had few suicidal attempts. I started seeing the world and people as something terrible and felt like everyone hates or only make fun of me all the time. But then some person decides to reach out to me and we became friends. After that, I started seeing everything in more and more bright colours. My social anxiety and never ending saddness started slowly fading away and at some point I saw how beautiful life can be and opened up to others. Things like nice smalltalks or choosing the outfit that you actually like (not the ,,safe one") or going out to the cinema with your friends were something I've never experienced before. In one moment everything changed, all my perception to life. And it was the moment when the crosses felt off. Thank you for making this video, now I fully see how much progress I've made ❤

I’m an Aspie and I can totally relate to not being able to look into the eyes of others. And it’s for the same reason as the main character. I feel like if I look at people directly they will somehow see that there is something wrong with me. And when I disclose to people that I have it the reaction I get is hurtful even though I don’t think they meant anything by it. “But you look so normal and beautiful!” “You don’t look like a fat slob.” “But you’re so sexy!” “But you are so smart!” “But you can talk!” “But you know more words than me!” “But you are such a good parent! How can you be Autistic! Aren’t they mentally retarded?” As if looks and intelligence have anything to do with it. And it pissed me off EVERY SINGLE TIME. It’s why I don’t use my actual picture. I won’t always look “beautiful”, “sexy”, “cute”, etc... Time will eventually take away my looks. It’s more trouble than it’s worth. I wish I was ugly so people wouldn’t stare at my ass all the time. I’m married and it’s creepy. And as for my intelligence that’s not everything either. With intelligence comes the awareness of how broken the world is and also the depressing wisdom that there is really nothing you can do to fix the world. Sometimes I wish I wasn’t intelligent and that I was just as ignorant as everyone else. The old saying “Ignorance is bliss” is 100% fact. Sorry for the rant I just needed a safe place to vent.

This movie really saved my life. On 2017 I was in a really dark place, I thought that hiding my emotions would be the best so I would not worry anyone, but I was debastated. I was falling university. No matter how much I tried I was falling again and again. I thought all the years that I worked for to go to university and had a degree I threw it in the trash can. I felt worthless, that I didn't have the right to live. All the time I thought It would better if I just jump into the rail tracks. Then, since my family is fan of anime movies, my dad, my sister and I went to the theater to watch it. I didn't know what was the movie about, but after the first scene I was speechless. It hit hard, also I got all the little messages that Nishimiya was going to commit suicide. the firework scene I bawled my eyes out and and I said for the first time to myself "I want to live" I couldn't stop crying even after we left the teather.and now, years later and a lot better I'm in a good place now.

It's really nice to see people facing similar circumstances, even if it's just for a glimpse.. It helps one realize that futility and guilt are merely a part of life that of which everyone faces at some point. Sometimes relatability is all a person needs for their eyes to be opened. Like you, I had similar feelings and a sense of guilt that continued to eat me up inside. Video games and the internet was my escape from all of it. Somewhere along the way I just threw my feelings away like it no longer served any use. I was content to live a monotone life as long as I had those two things because they gave me brief satisfaction. Upon discovering Silent Voice, I felt a sense of enlightenment I had never felt before.. maybe it was the music, the transitions, or the metallic ringing every now and then but it all felt so familiar. My perspective was changed in two hours, I felt a strong attachment to the movie and the people in it. Sometimes you need to be brought into the light to realize you were in a dark place. I never cried throughout the movie but it pierces the heart deeper than anything that has made me shed a tear, afterwards I felt a desire to be like the people in the movie ( whatever that meant for me ) and sought change in myself. Like you I also found hope through this movie, I felt that I had found my path in life once I discovered K-ON and Violet Evergarden days after. I finally realized how I wanted to live, I began studying a language and found a healthy hobby. "I hope to travel one day.." my former self would've ridiculed that sentence but I now realize how important it is to have something dear to protect. Though I regret to admit that I've hit rock-bottom again, I'm still clinging on to that faint hope. Thank you so very much for opening up, your comment gives hope to a lot of people like me, and I hope you can find that something too if you haven't already. Just know that if you stumble, forgive yourself and move on, I hope I was able to feel your pain even just a little and I hope my comment can be your strength in these turbulent times the way your comment is for me now. Take care.

I always judge movies on how they make me feel, which makes me naturally enjoy slice of life movies like this. These movies make me feel like anything I can say to try to describe them will end up falling short in capturing the beauty of this genre. This movie is so relatable from his childhood to the end credits it's so amazing to see so many other people who love this movie because it feels impossible to describe the way it makes me feel and the roller coaster of emotions I go through when I watch this film. This movie is truly a masterpiece.

I always thought Shoyo's "friends" we're the actual bullies not him, and he just got what they deserved cause he got thrown under the bus by his "friends" He was a *HERO* for saving her, and what he did was forgivable

you will understand everything when reading the manga. The anime left out 60 percent of the plot because they had to adapt 62 manga chapters. If you thought the movie was good, then you would love the manga. The 60 percent goes to their childhood, more explenation about the condition of shoyo, how he was suicidal and stuff. The side characters all had their purpose and story in the manga and it greatly contributes to the story. Everyone had a purpose but the anime wasnt able to adapt that. pls read the manga if you loved this film

me too. and it was so crazy because when i watched it i was like “ i see people the same exact way” and that’s why this is my favorite movie. the characters of shoya, shouko, and sahara and just a terrible mix of my personality. i can’t look at people, i just assume people think bad about me, i feel like a burden, i run away when things get bad, i have a twisted view of friendship, and i’m a coward. this movie was just 100% perfect and until something like this but better come out, this is always be the most perfect and my forever favorite movie

I cried again just by watching the clips you used I really love this film, it is great

someones who related to shoya, on a probably shallow level, here: this movie WRECKED me. i watched it a bit before one of the worst points in my life and honestly didnt pay too much mind to it at the time. a little after, i truly looked into it. i didnt lose all my friends, but like shoya i had them and pushed them away, struggling to grasp the concept that i didnt deserve to be alone. i was surrounded by people but still alone. i pushed those who cared away and believed i deserves the pain that was got. i struggle to connect or speak with others, even still, but its getting better. i feel like most have Xs still though. either way, it does get better. its hard as hell, but it will get better. slowly.

I’ve always really emphasized with Nishimiya, because growing up, I was bullied, sort of for my disabilities, I suppose? Although, my mental disabilities. I have social anxiety and OCD, which really impairs my ability to communicate in ways that are hard to explain. I would get talked about for how I fidgeted, the way I talked, how I rambled and made no sense. I got bullied for the way I acted because of how my mental disorders impacted it, I would get made fun of for stuff like that which I couldn’t really control, if that makes sense. I’ve been struggling with suicidal thoughts for almost 3 years now, and I’ve always been the source of the problem in a way. I tend to blame myself for everything which started the “If I disappear, everyone will be happier without me”. Nishimiya’s suicide attempt had me in tears because I understood exactly what she was talking about, to the word. I grew up with a few friends that kind of remind me of Yuzuru, in the sense they were really overprotective and treated me “specially”. And I grew up with a dad similar to Nishimiya’s mom, and my mom wasn’t very present. I even have a grandma who unfortunately passed that reminded me a lot of the grandma in the movie. This movie was just so beautiful to me because I felt so seen. *ESPECIALLY* with my overapologizing tendencies, seeing Nishimiya apologize for stuff that wasn’t even her fault hit very close, especially after her suicide attempt- my mom had a similar reaction (she’s been around more lately), and i just saw myself so much in this one character. Seeing how her attempt failed made me reflect if I were Nishimiya in that situation, how I could’ve ended up. I have a girlfriend that reminds me alot of Shoya, and seeing what happened to Shoya just made me feel like, y’know? What if I was Nishimiya and my girlfriend was Shoya, I don’t know, I can’t even explain how much I love this movie because it made me realize the impact of suicide, and in a character I see so much of myself in, seeing what happened to her felt as if it was happening to me. Anyways, thank you for coming to my tedtalk, have a lovely day and make sure to drink lots of water and eat!! Love youuu :)

Films like these gives me the everlasting bittersweetness loneliness of bliss. It tears a hole in my heart and with it replaced by a melancholy sadness. It's an unexplainable yet scary feeling like what Kevin said. I've... changed... for the better or the worse. This film opened my eyes to appreciation... to the world, and that each and everyone of us are just people who are trying to live... to survive. Does that mean I respect everyone? No, I believe everyone deserve the respect they give out. Each and every friend and the memories I'd made, whether that be with friends, online friends, or family, is a treasurable unreplaceable puzzle piece in this short life that we have. Thank you Kevin for your silent voice that you've kept inside and vulnerably telling us. I've said my silent voice... what about you guys? Thank you for listening.

There’s this girl who I’m friends with, we were talking the other day and she told me I was the best friend she’d ever had, I obviously felt very proud of this, but while watching this video I remembered something that I did, I used to bully her, everyone else made fun of her for being fat, they already hated me so if I defended her it would just make it worse, so I bullied her, I did so many mean things to her, yet she’s still telling me that I’m the best friend she’s ever had, and I can’t help but feel so guilty, I regret what I did so much, she shouldn’t just ignore what I did, how can she just be friends with me after all that I did, and it wasn’t even like a really long time ago that i bullied her, it was only a year ago, I feel so guilty and I hate it

Speaking from experience it is likely your friend knows the reasons behind your bullying and understood your situation. My biggest bully in class was one of my closest friends outside of school, but similar to your situation, there were reasons behind it. He didn't have the best home life and in our school at the time it was "kill or be killed". Everyone already seen me as "the freak" so I was an easy target for harassment, so in his eyes the only way to fit in was to stand over me when others where watching. We caught up a few years after graduating and he offered me a tearful apology, but as I told him, he had no reason to apologize, I understood why he was doing it and the support he gave me when there was no one around to judge him more then made up for it. My advice? If you feel guilty apologize, but I suspect your friend already knows.

i got teary eye about half way. but when he mentions how Nishimiya says goodbye I had a gut reaction to cry.

Yes, this movie is the one that doesn't leave my head after years. I suffered from bullying when I was a kid, but I was too young to notice. Each day of my life on school I tried to get closer to the people that where trying to get away from me. After we grew up more and where on middle school, we found ourselves to be friends, this time real friends, but still to this day (already graduated) I feel like with every friend I have, inside they probably think bad things about me. I do have some trustable and close friends, but even so I still feel the marks that the bullying left on me. This film came to me when I didn't even knew I needed it. Even if I wasn't the bully, I could see myself on Ishida as he tried to get closer to people, listen to them, look at them and acknowledge them. It is to this day my favorite movie, with one of my favorite songs (the piano at the end, aka Lit.) and to which I just bought the manga collection to read and discover even more parts of the story that I didn't know yet. This film inspired me to be the one who helps people that feel lonely and want friends.

I have never had a film I connected with this much before. In that last scene, I started sobbing because I felt I was Shoya in that scene. This film has made me feel so understood, and has given me hope that I will be able to be better, to connect and feel again in the future. At the very least, I still haven't jumped off that ledge.

I literally ended up having a panic attack after I finished the movie. That is how hard this movie hit me. It hit me so hard that all of my bad memories from the past hit me at once causing a breakdown

That’s an amazing point made that Shoko signs “Goodbye” not “See you later”. It’s a subtle difference which needs to be read between the lines, for Shoyo he was none the wiser as he was able to use sign language but he wasn’t amazing at it which was hinted when he questioned if he signed the correct message throughout the movie.

Never in my life did I ever thought that some random KZread comment and it's replies would make me cry my heartout

It's the best thing I've ever experienced in my life.

I watched this movie with my best friend, and there were many times where I nearly cried. This was such an amazing and moving story. Whenever the thought of suicide comes up, I always think to myself, “As long as I can make a single person smile, it makes life that much more brighter.”

My girl is from the Philippines and I met her when she moved to my country "Samoa" and enrolled in my school. I wasn't in same class as her when she came over and she was placed in the last class. Oh and the class your in depends on your exam result from previous year and we both did really bad so both ended up in same class in the next year. I really didn't notice she was a foreigner since she looked like a local but one day during class I heard sobbing sounds at my back and noticed she was crying. She got up and ran outside surprising the teacher and everyone. She later returned after some girls went after her and they explained that she was crying because she was frustrated that she didn't understand what the teacher was saying. The teachers do teach in English but they mainly only write in English and explain in Samoan since it easier to understand. Instead of being understanding the teacher was a total dickhead about it and mocked her about it and continued teaching in Samoan and kept asking her question in Samoan which he knew she didn't understand. This was like a floodgate opening and everyone made really nasty remarks about her in Samoan and everyone laughed as she was confused at what was happening and they even started a game where they purposely pumped into her and say that they told her to watch in Samoan Would like to say I stepped in and stopped everyone but I didn't and it is one of my biggest regret. We only really started to hang out after we met at a tutor we both went to and I was secret weeb back in the days and she was the only one in the country who seem to know what anime was. I taught her some Samoan and explained anything the teachers were saying and in return she gave me some of her anime that wouldn't ruin my family computer with viruses. We just kind of started dating afterwards would like to think I was reason the bullying died down but it mainly because of her as soon as she started to understand Samoan she started climbing in the classes beating everyone in grades stunning everyone who thought she was dumb since she was in the bottom class and in return earned the bottom class respect since someone from the bottom class beat the top class. We are both in University now in New Zealand I went with her at her first lecture and she was so happy that she didn't need me to translate anything she didn't understand was kind of happy and sad about that

Last year during the pandemic was when I heard that my friend died. The reason as far as I know was a brain hemorrhage (stroke) which is very rare for young people. Suddenly I remembered all those 8 years and how a person can just suddenly disappear. He was also the only child of his parents, so I can't even comprehend what they must have felt.

This movie has taught me so much about myself. I was not like Nishimiya when I was younger, bullied for things out of my control, I was much more of a Shoya. I developed a sense of ultra competitiveness, conformity, and a need to constantly reinforce the fact that i was needed. I had crazy attachment issues. My problems boiled over into others people's lives as I irresponsibly lived out my own without regard for others. As I grew older I began to notice my shortcomings, but I felt like it was too late. For years, I did not believe that I had a single friend, I could not comprehend that I was deserving of anything like that, I was so alone. I would hang out with people all day, have a great time, and then cry myself to sleep thinking that they all hated me and couldn't stand me. I chased after short term happiness, trying to be as funny as possible, trying to make poeple laugh so I could feel like they cared about me, but it never worked and it only made me feel worse. Then I saw A Silent Voice for the first time. At that point, I had been so "alone" for so long that I didn't understand why I resonated with it. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. The metaphores and symbols and imagery just WORKED, in a way that no movie before or since has ever worked for me. The scene in the amusment park, when Shoya questions whether or not it was "Okay" for him to be happy lives permanently in my mind, along with many others. I had been grappling with these ideas. I had been the bully, who was selfish enough to become guilty afterwards. I had been unable to look people in the eyes for as long as I can remember. I had gone through the cycle of reaching out and trying to make friends, before shutting myself off, shutting them out, and having to start over. It took me years of rewatching the movie to fully become self aware, to understand what this movie was trying to tell me. I was so narcisistic, so self centered, it took me so long. But I got there. This movie taught me how to listen. To shut the fuck up sometimes, and listen. It turns out, one of the reasons I felt so alone because all I ever thought about was myself. I had to open up and let other people in, and once I did I started to feel better, to think that I was worth the oxygen that I breathed. I love this movie.

yo, stranger on the internet, I hope you are having a great day, don't ever think or say that it's late to be saved and things like that, it's NEVER LATE to stand up and live your life to it's fullest, you can stand up and start living a long, happy life, full of positive emotions and fun experiences starting right now. I might not know what exactly you are going trough, but I'm 100% certain that everything's going to be alright, so start working on yourself and your dreams, not in a week, not tomorrow, but right now and become your best self. everyone deserves and can live a happy and a long fulfilling life, and of course that includes you too. if you are confused with your emotions, talk to the people close to you, it's not a weakness, it's absolute strength, and if by any chance if you want to, you can hit me up and you can talk to me about anything.

The overall warmth the film gives off is so Melancholic and beautiful and no matter how many times I rewatch it the final scene in the movie will always kill me, without spoiling anything for others reading this that moment will just forever deeply resonate with me, It hits so close to home. Ishida is truly a beautiful written character, I really was just like Ishida and it makes me sad that I acted this way looking back, of course; Not as harshly but still, I hate my old self and wish I could undo alot of things from back then.

Honestly! When I first watched a silent voice when it came out I was young, wasn't self-aware, and didn't really think about that kind of stuff. A bit like elementary school Shoya. But even then, the last scene, despite not fully understanding the message, was still super powerful. The music, character development, and delivery were just so well done. I watched it again a few years later and it had even more impact. I understood the message but I never personally experienced it. But a few more years later (now) watching this video and being reminded about it, it's even more powerful it has ever been to me. After really experiencing self-hate and an immense amount of regret, the movie has an impact like never before. It's like how Keven described it in the beginning.

I feel like this movie can’t be seen as a “only one or two people are at play for the bulling,” but more of a “every character, even the nice ones, somehow played a role in shouko’s suicidal thoughts, even if they didn’t want too.” Which I find to be way more realistic.

You’re right. She had very low self-esteem from a young age. Though not revealed in this film, the original manga showed scenes from her childhood memory of her parents splitting up because of her disability and how she always felt guilty for all the stress her mom and especially little sister had to go through(Yuzuru was also bullied because of Shoko. And she’s dedicating her life to help and stand up for her older sister). So when she gets bullied she doesn’t really blame the bullies because she thinks its because of her disability and that its her fate for not being "normal". After switching schools to schools she kept trying to act "normal" to relieve her mom and try to communicate and befriend other classmates, but when Shoya threw away her notebook that was the moment when she gave up on trying to really "communicate" with others and open up her true feelings. Even though Shoya was the main reason for her pain, he was still one of the many who bullied Shoko, and I think Shoko felt that he was the only person who actually treated her not as a disable being but as one person(though not in a good way of course). And when Shoya met her and gave her the notebook back, that was the moment when Shoko started trying again after giving up for so long.

This movie has impacted me so much, and it wasn't until I watched this video and read the comments that I figured out why. I was never bullied as severely as Shouko or Shoya, but I always had difficulty fitting in and making friends with others. In fact, I was held back in Pre-K purely because I made no friends my 1st year and my teachers and parents were concerned. I've never gone to a psychologist, but I'm fairly certain that I have some sort of anxiety and/or depressive disorder. Outside of school, I had no friends because it was so difficult for me to socialize. When I watched this movie, I really saw myself in young Shouko. I'm not deaf, nor do I have a physical disability, but I related to her loneliness and desire to connect with others. I also saw my present self in older Shoya. I related to his regret and guilt and shame. The feeling that if only you were smarter and did things differently, you and everyone else would be better off. I never cry during movies, but I've seen this movie 5 times and have cried every single time. To everyone else who feels deeply connected to this movie, you're not alone. We're in this together. ❤

I think that the only time I truly cry mentally, not physically while whether watching anime or a movie is the time I watch A Silent Voice the first time and then Your Name. They both awesome. For some reason, I can't tear my tears out of my eyes after my long dark time.

I really want to comment on this video because of how much I think it really hit me. I think I am very lucky to be in a family and an environment that isn't too poor nor too rich, but "just enough" you could say. And I have never been bullied before, kindergarden, school, hell even high school now. I was raised and thought in a good-enough environment with classmates that are genuinely kind and decent to me. So why did I just start burst crying at the end of this video, and why is it that this movie (that I still can't rewatch) captivated me and genuinely made me gave a shit about its characters? It's not relatability or anything, but the way you explained who these characters are (particularly Shoya and Nishimaya) and the flaws, experiences and thoughts they have for the people around them and themselves, this video (and the movie obviously) emphasized that it's possible to genuinely cry and seriously connect with characters without having to show them in the most brutal of situations. But show them in places and experiences that so many people outside the fictional world go through, that is without a doubt, enough. Because what we go through is genuinely miserable and unhappy, even if its just small in the grand scheme of things. Ostracisation is something that has been holding me back and obviously not making me feel happy for pretty much the entirety of 2022. Our lockdowns have started to ease and face to face classes are becoming more and more abundant for my school. And it really does suck not knowing anyone, and (for my case) not having the motivation and eagerness to keep being energetic and social like I used to anymore because I always think "how can I connect with these group of people who I've never met, people that might think I'm trying to connect with them when I can't possibly relate or ever know the journeys they've gone through to get to this point in life" it's a feeling that genuinely scares the shit out of me and that doesn't allow me to talk with anyone other than my small group of friends, who are also experiencing the same things as me. And the fact that this movie shows and tells someone like me, can still rekindle or find people in life even when it seems like I can't, and make it better, to eventually make me feel that I matter, that I can live a happy life and remove those feelings away, just like how these characters have as well, to be able to have a chance seriously hits me in a way, no other anime, no manga, and maybe no other media can. This movie depicts such a real and painful life and eventually tells its audience that horridness can turn into happiness if we just try and overcome it and that seriously makes me tear up, it is a beautiful statement, a beautiful ending for these characters that I want to see happy, and its a message that is now ingrained in my brain thanks to this video, it made me realize that. I love these characters, maybe not because of how much I relate to them, but because I and many others can tell that these are people just trying to cope and move through with these horrible situations that so many others unfortunately go through, and the fact that they collapse and fall on that journey, made it painful for me to watch the movie, only for them to get back up and finally help each other. I have nothing else to say other than that is one of the absolute most beautiful depictions in fiction, because that is life. And I really care about these people, even if they aren't real. Thank you to this video and this movie for making me realize that statement.

A silent voice is my favourite film. My comfort film is spirited away.

Just a very small nitpick, at 23:20, Nishimiya didn't say "goodbye". She said "thank you", which I feel is far more impactful than the former. Anyway, I loved this analysis. It was a beautifully made video and I enjoyed evey second of it. Thank you! ❤️

NGL, when I saw Nishimiya sign "Thank You" at the festival, I got so shook. I don't know sign language, but the moment has this haunting atmosphere about it that just screams "something is VERY wrong here". This film is simply a masterpiece.

I legit cried at the end of this video. Such a good movie I would watch it again, without having knowledge of it.

I just watched it. It’s really peak. Just peak. Masterpiece. Like WHAT CAN I SAY? ITS SO PEAK. I love it all so much. I watched it in school, finished it, and then went home and rewatched it start to finish. Literally I had to stand still and just reflect over the peak I experienced. All the emotions that get conjured up is so intense and also beautiful. I don’t have enough words to convey what I feel like from this movie. In short, truly peak. ALSO, I love how Ishida’s social anxiety is portrayed. I’m not under severe social anxiety, at least not anymore, but i do feel a bit of it occasionally and it’s crazy how I could connect to Ishida at least a little. Then when all the X’s fall of their faces.. such a impactful and beautifully well done scene.

The fact she's willing to forgive him and he's willing to accept what he did to her is a hard you feel it and see it

To this day I'm glad I stood up for the "weird" kid, for the different classmates and people over the years who couldn't for themselves. To be willing to mingle with the different groups and get to know anyone and everyone across the board. It is 100% worth it, and you may end up being that crucial thing that individual needs. Everything happens for a reason, so lets BE the best reason we can be.

It gives me a hopeful view on life and how beautiful and precious it is. It litterally changed my life so much for the better and helped me through one of the hardest points of my life. So I was honesty sad that Your Name overshadowed it so much! I enjoyed Your Name but A Silent Voice is just.... Wow.

@@caladana1 ​ Apologies in advance for the wall of text - I'm someone who can be considered by all means mentally healthy (in terms of not having a mental illness), possible exception would be my stutter but I think it's developed mostly because of my lack of self-confidence. With that said, while I could relate to A Silent Voice in being lonely / not fitting in, as well as feeling various forms of dread, I believe this movie caters the most to those who have struggled with actual illnesses (deafness in Shoko's instance, Shoya's depression and anxiety, and the suicidal thoughts in both of them). Your Name was a movie whose message and characters I was able to connect with more deeply because it seems to target those like me, who do not see the meaning in their present circumstances and want to 'run away' in a way, feel a sort of hole in their lives that they cannot figure out, while also presenting an idea of romance that I deeply crave for. These things are especially reflected in the lyrics of Radwimps' OST tracks: "Ah, if only you our voices speaking at night could ever reach the very edge of this world, and of time Instead of fading into air and dust" (Dream Lantern) "Caught in a never-ending game Seems like the world's still trying to tame me If that's the way, I will obey Beautifully struggle every day" "Let's make a plan to meet somewhere that is The most far from 'goodbye'" "How I hate this lifeless world That's made up entirely of dictionary words" (Sparkle) To conclude, I found both of the movies to be really beautiful, and both will continue to move people's hearts in their own ways.

*TO BE HONEST* A silent voice is to short at times that should be long and short at times it I got all of the story even tho I didn't watch the movie just some scenes And the only goot thing is that it opened my eyes to trauma, made me get my emotions out (mental breakdown) And made me realise how bad somethings have had effect on me given I was suicidal But nothing more

Hey buddy, I hope this reaches to you. I want you to know that it’s okay. To be sad, to be lonely and to feel like you don’t belong. You’re feelings are validated, because they’re yours! But know that you’re NOT alone, and it’s really hard for people to understand how you feel especially if you don’t tell them or give them the chance to. The hardest thing I’ve experienced is saying it out loud to someone that you’re sad. Even if it’s over the internet or over the phone or face to face. Somethings you can’t do on your own and you need help sometimes. That’s OKAY, everyone is battling their own problems and just because they seem okay they may be wrapped up in somethings they can’t fix. But maybe they have help too and that’s why they’re able to get up in the morning. Day by day , week by week a moment at a time, try smiling because you’re here. And BE KIND.

Hey there. I usually don’t comment on videos, but I felt the need to say something as I discovered this channel back when I was only 13 years old, and I didn’t think much of it. Now at the age of 20, this video turns up in my recommended and I recognize the channel name and icon. After finishing the video, I never thought this vid would explain my thoughts on a silent voice so perfectly and I just wanted to show how much appreciation I have for this vid. I relate to a silent voice so heavily due to the severe bullying from classmates and harassment from teachers as well as my family sometimes that I got due to my anxiety disorder making me act differently, and how violent and cruel of a person I grew to be over the course of my young adult life because of it. It wasn’t until I recovered from an abusive relationship that I really felt like I had a proper chance to mature and even then, I feel like since my anxiety disorder ruined so much of my chance of childhood for me that it’ll ruin my relationship with friends and family too, and if that doesn’t, the rotten parts of my personality still leftover will. I constantly feel like nothing I said or did could ever be redeemed, and even if I manage to forgive myself, it’ll be when other people don’t. After watching a silent voice, I felt so relieved that my emotions were understood and normalized so well through Shouya and Shoko’s characters when nobody in my life could do the same. I’ve seen the whole “you can always change” or “past is in the past” thing done plenty of times in media growing up but not a single one could get through to me cause they dumbed down exactly how it felt or the consequences of doing so. A silent voice on the other hand focused on the other perspectives to the situation. How it truly feels to deal with believing to have been a horrible person in the past, the inner turmoil of deciding whether you’re doing this to genuinely make it up to those you wronged or for yourself, the people who won’t move on or forgive you, the people who’ll just project their own blame onto you, the feeling of not deserving a second chance, the self-blame, the excuses you make, and the people who’ve supported you all along that you'd have blinded yourself to. Watching a silent voice felt less like a clever movie experience that I appreciated a lot and more so an understanding of who I was as a person. A normalization of how I behaved and how I wasn’t weird, abnormal, or even horrible for thinking this way and that it’s a perfectly natural yet flawed behaviour that plenty of people experience. And for that, I can’t think of a better experience I’ve had with a film. Thank you for the this video.

Bro.... The anxiety and deppresion is so relatable...

I can say so confidently that this movie saved me. Nishimiya has been through so much more than I could ever imagine and if she was able to be saved, so was I. I think this movie just brings comfort to my heart. It shows sad and real topics in such a peaceful way. This movie reminds me that no matter how much I hate myself, no matter how hard it is for me to face people, I have a purpose. Another thing I realized after watching this is the little things. Just the little things in my life is already a big enough reason for me to keep going. My favorite quote is from Kawai. "You have to love even the things you hate about yourself and move forward."

doesn't matter how this story is told: manga, anime, reviews, essays, it always manages to make me cry. It's just way to beautiful and touches your heart in so many ways that it's difficult to think it's just a piece of fiction

This film was too realistic in my opinion. Especially all of the characters' personalites. Shoko realizing what he did wrong and trying to fix it really stood out to me. Finally a protag who takes a step back and doesnt let his emotions rule his life. Beauitful.

This video perfectly portrays what a silent voice means to me and so many people and I'm so happy that this movie was made because it has taught me so many things and honestly made me cry like 6 times

Yea Anime can truly impact people life . Specially slice of life shows like ylia , violet evergarden, a silent voice and many more greatness i can't speak in words but just want to say is that the messages and story has deeply touched me and watching it felt like experiencing the true beauty and struglles of life .

from watching this movie 2 times now and both crying also watching this video has caused me to cry, this is a beautiful video doing the original movie justice through the explanation to the connections we can have towards certain scenes just a great overview of a great movie.

I've been struggling with quite bad depression for the past 3 or so years. I've pushed everyone away, even though I've been given opportunities to make friends, I just push those opportunities away too. I know that I just have to accept someone's friendship to start the process toward ending my depression, but I just can't. For the past 3 years, I have had no one in my life who I can entrust with my emotions except random strangers online. Over the past 4 or so months, I've been trying to reach out and start that process, but I just can't. But maybe, just maybe, thing will be different after watching this video. I watched this movie and I loved it, but this video made me appreciate the nuances of it. In a way I wish I could be a part of their world, but their world isn't super natural or anything. Perhaps my world is just less vibrant because I avoid stimulation. But now I'm coming to that realization, and I think maybe now I will do something different. The worst part for me about my depression, though, is that it's not my circumstances that are the issue. I've been given everything that I could possibly need in life, a supportive community (in theory), a supportive family, and money is not really a concern. But with all these resources I do nothing. And that's what I hate about myself. People with less than me are trying harder while I with more try nothing. (sorry for the slightly incoherent rant, i need to get this off my chest before i proofread)

I can't say this film saved me as I've been saved 5 years prior to the film. But watching this as a mute and deaf (can still hear with helps, tho), I truly felt the impact on my very core as a human being. I cried and hugged my chad aunt, one of the people who have been with me since my first breakdown, my first suicide attempt, and my first self-harm, who was also coincidentally accompanied me to watch the film. After the film, I told her I'm sorry and thank you. I was a bloody mess in the cinema. People sniggered (in a way you did seeing a kid apologising in somewhat endearing manner), probably thinking that I was being too emotional there. The film made me realise how hard it was for the people around me to cope with my self-destructive thoughts back then For the context, I also received bullying, except it was in my high-school years. The bullying was not quite the childish ignorant prank Shoya did in his primary school, the prank they did to me were made with full intent to destroy my psyche. It might have been caused in response to one particular rejection I gave to a senior who confessed to me one day. Since the day, I started to feel isolated in class. None of the girls even tried talk to me anymore, and it went even worse since. Imagine having your uniform stolen after your swimming lesson, and you have no idea how to get out of there without clothing. Yeah, that was not even the worst of it. Before the film, I have only gratitude towards the people who have helped me through. But after the film, I don't think my gratitude would ever be enough to make up for everything I did. The film drove me to do my very best in life to pay back whatever debt I have to repay, and whatever mess I have to repair; especially to my aunt who dropped out of college to help me see therapist back and forth, to tend to me, and to be by my side all the time. (Off topic: She's more like a sister to than an aunt, she's only 6 years older than me. But she's my mother's younger sister. Soo...) By the time I stopped crying, I realised that I have more than a dozen more people I'm grateful for: the people who made this film possible.

I can empathize with most of what you wrote. I am pretty sure I have been rejecting myself since the day I gained sentience. Or that's how I seem to verbalize it now after looking back at my life. I want to write a lot right now. But I'll leave it with: "Well Shit" I wish the very best existence on this oxygen and silicon amalgamate to you, and everyone else reading by this.

I ALWAYS blame the parents in this situation. If your kid is being bullied at school pull them out of school and homeschool them. Period. Are you really going to send your child back into a deeply emotionally scarring at the least and truly traumatizing environment at worst??? They have such things as public homeschools. Where you basically go to zoom classes. And it's all paid for by the government. There is NO excuse to force your kid to be in that environment. You're just a bad parent at that point. And I know for a fact they currently have this in all 50 states and had this going back at least 20 years ago because my sister wasn't being bullied but she had extreme generalized anxiety and would have panic attacks everyday at school. So my parents pulled her out and put her in public online school. Which was just zoom classes before there was zoom. Or you can change school districts or you send your kid to a private school. So why do parents keep sending their kids into a toxic environment that is detrimental to their health? Even the most basic googling or talking to a guidance counselor and you will learn about these options. So "I didn't know there was another option" isn't an excuse. You just felt too lazy to look for another option or maybe you thought your kids should just toughen up, or maybe you thought that bullying isn't that bad, or maybe you're just too lazy to get your kids set up in public online school. You're terrible parent and you shouldn't have had kids.

I am so glad that you had someone to love and support you through all of this. It may not have been a lot, I wish you had more help but I am glad you had your aunt who was by your side this whole time. May this coming year bring you brighter blessings

@@WhitneyDahlin late but when it comes to this some parents don’t know as they don’t use technology others don’t have money or time to teach or put people in private school while I lived with my family through my school years I’ve worked since 16 years old because my family wasn’t rich and I had to help via supporting myself so it was one less thing they had to worry about money wise if people can afford to do things like that its a good idea but to give you a little info I graduated in 2016 didn’t have a cell phone internet or even a computer till my last year of high school simply because we couldn’t afford those luxuries so while it’s possible for some it isn’t for all especially if your parents are stretched out working multiple jobs just trying to survive
