2/17/2024 0 Comments A silent voice miki kawai![]() It was quite wonderful that the film showed what Ishida thought of everything and why it lead to him bullying Nishimiya. ![]() He is the usual bully character in your elementary school who torments the deaf Nishimiya. CHARACTERSįirst of all, let me start with Shoyo Ishida. The idea for Koe no Katachi’s premise is pretty much common but how it was written – that made this film entertaining and emotional to watch. I was glad that they took the ending to where everyone was involved – which had the best impact and logical sense for an ending. To be fair, it would’ve been quite stale and common if the film would’ve ended with Ishida and Nishimiya in a relationship. I noticed there was this romantic sub-plot between Ishida and Nishimiya but ended up without any conclusion at the end of this film. The film tries to get the viewer understand each of the characters’ thoughts and sympathize with them. Koe no Katachi tackles about the inner aspects of every character and what that means in the story – like how Ishida’s friends blame each other for his current isolationist state which to be fair can be valid if you look at their own perspectives. It is very realistic and at the same time, emotional. The great thing about Koe no Katachi is that it centers more on the people who are directly affected rather than some adult helping a kid to combat his or her disability. In Koe no Katachi, however, Nishimiya is deaf and has to cope with a normal class. Koe no Katachi can easily be similar to the plots of several other films like Taare Zamen Par (2007 Indian film) where the character suffers from dyslexia. ![]() However, I cannot say that there are no similar movies as this. Koe no Katachi was directed by Naoko Yamada (K-ON!, Tamako Market) and Reiko Yoshida (Bakuman, Girls und Panzer).ĭespite having certain parts of the story not making into the anime project from the manga series, Koe no Katachi still maintains the core and atmosphere of the entire story. Ishida manages to move forward and leave behind the past, and to start afresh by showing his affection towards Nishimiya. All of them are paired with new friends such as: Tomohiro Nagatsuka, a similarly friend-less boy who owes Ishida after his bike was stolen and Satoshi Mashiba, Kawai’s friend.īoth go through a series of life changing events to define friendship and love. These friends are: Naoko Ueno, who believes that Nishimiya is to be blamed for Ishida’s isolation Miki Kawai, their narcissistic former class president and Miyoko Sahara, who attempted to make friends with Nishimiya back then but got bullied doing so. Realizing the results of the thing he has done to Nishimiya in elementary school, he takes it upon himself on a a path of redemption by trying to make amends with Nishimiya and connecting her with their former classmates. However, he changes his mind when he reunites with Nishimiya, who is still lonely and shy. When Nishimiya transferred, all of his friends and teachers have turned against him, making him isolated until high school to point where he contemplates the act of suicide. The story revolves around Shoya Ishida, a former delinquent who bullied Shoko Nishimiya, his deaf classmates, alongside his friends back in elementary school. After finishing it’s last manga volume, Kyoto Animation has taken up the job of turning it into an anime film and this article will be my thoughts after watching it. The post featured the first few pages of the manga and it was an emotional read. REVIEW – I knew about Koe no Katachi when it was posted by a Facebook page with the description along the words of “tearjerker, beautiful” and what not.
