10 - Tears, sadness, anger, happiness and laughs, the whole package. 7 - Side characters had their story severely cut. Nothing too special and memorable besides theme song. 10 - Characters true to their manga designs, high quality animation. 7 - Plot holes and cut sub-plots, excluded from the original script/manga. If you're crying is it because Nishimiya is a person you have become endeared by or are you crying because she's like an injured puppy? Affection for things like this a wonderful human trait, but this work is dubious. Please stop and think about why you feel the way you do when you watch this work. This work is not even average, it is bad.

Capitalize on disease using moe with the highest budget in the industry. I can tell you that this film is successfully doing what it wanted to do. What the point is thematically I can't tell you. Are there creative shots in this work? Impressive blocking of characters? Fresh setting or new takes on animation/style? No. Shouya shows no signs of development and no effort to change throughout the work and then magically obtains a group of friends.Īs for the abstract? The art? If you polish it up enough and use a voice technique the audience is unfamiliar with you have the safest ticket to visual and audio praise you can muster. Even if you could swallow the unbelievable developments that lead to the saccharine mid-section of the film the way it dissolves is so inauthentic. Drama in this work is so over-the-top and predictable it's borderline cringe-worthy. Ueno shows up when things finally start moving in a direction the audience would be satisfied with in tacky KyoAni fashion. Their motives are drawn to plot points not to logic. This work tries to make Nishimiya a character as deeply developed as Shouya but they foist too many roles on an underdeveloped symbol, not even mentioning her role as a character. A show like Monster works this concept excellently because it uses the object of interest (Johan) as more of a symbol. To be affected on, for us to pity, for us to see illness in a "new light," to justify against bullying, to see the indomitable human spirit. And that is what Nishimiya is, an object. It's inherently questionable to approach this topic from a romantic perspective because it's hard to sympathize with an object. A personality-less self-insert male character who wants to repent for mistakes he made when he was a child falls in love with the object of his errs. Sadly, the execution is simply sickening. Including deafness or any other handicap into anime is an exciting idea, and I laud the attempt. She is paper thin with her sole character trait being she likes Nishimiya's entire character is her illness. This is clearly troublesome when trying to explain deafness to an able-bodied audience. She is the textbook definition of a mary-sue as well as a damsel in distress. It uses a serious problem as a plot device constantly and reduces Nishimiya to one-dimension. This movie certainly does not allow any greater understanding into the mind of deaf people is the point I want to iterate. I'm not going to pretend to know anything about deaf people.
