I Finally Watched *A Silent Voice*

[@NicholasLightTV]

This movie really hit me. Especially with the main message of learning to forgive yourself and finding the strength to move on. Everyone was telling me “oh you’re gonna cry”, almost every time they told me to react to this movie. Which is the reason I didn’t cry. But just because I didn’t have tears, doesn’t mean the movie didn’t connect with me. It not only connected with my heart, but also connected with my soul. It truly is a beautiful story that I will never forget. What did y’all think of A Silent Voice?

[@santocraft2380]

My wife was born deaf, she has told me how hard she had it at school, she got bullied and had a really bad time trying to learn like everybody else. She has also worn a hearing aid since she was a kid. This movie hit me like a truck when I saw it like a year ago, makes me understand what she might have gone trough and how mean people can be. I just wanna say that this movie was awesome and makes me love my wife even more if that makes any sense. I try my best to make her happy, I sometimes don't even notice she is deaf, cause she is normal like any other woman, but special to me!

[@LxstComet]

i bet. before the 2000’s, schools didn’t even allow sign language to be used, (well for where i’m from anyway) they didn’t provide any kind of support and just expected us to learn and work our way around the difficulties. i feel bad for those people. i was born in 2007 so it wasn’t as bad and they were starting to provide support, though i still felt out of place. i’ve always been in main stream schools until late last year i was able to find a high school with a deaf unit now i’ve dropped school because my mental health got worse than before, i’m doing okay now and i hope that your wife is too

Her and the black haired girl r trash. I don't know y he didn't tell the black haired girl to fuck off after the way she treated Shouko. Instead he let her be in his friend group.

They were never his friends to begin with after how fast they turned on him.

I don't think that incident was when she lost her hearing completely, maybe it sped it along, but the scene where she's in the hospital with her grandma is the doctor telling them that the hearing is completely gone in that ear, which is why in the next scene with Ueno she only has one in and Ueno mentions it.

[@Zazabazaa]

He may have been a bully, but I honestly put 90% of the blame onto the teachers. When you're a child, you're still learning how to react to new things. Kids who are taught how to handle diversity well become kind and caring, whereas people who aren't have a higher chance of reacting to it badly. He was just a kid who didn't react well, enabled by everybody around him until it no longer benefited them. They all were. But instead of correcting it when it was happening, the teacher just let it happen until there was no way to ignore it anymore, and then instead of telling everybody off and having a proper sit down about it all, he pinned it all on one kid and turned that kid into the scape goat. Yelling at him and getting everybody to gang up on him. None of the kids in that classroom turned out okay. And a big part of that is because of the teacher.

I’m Japanese and I love your reaction videos! By the way, the scene where Shoko told Shoya that she liked him is a little complicated when its on subtitles. The word “like” is “好き（Suki)” in Japanese, but because of her speaking abilities, it sounded like she said “月（Tsuki)” which means “the moon” in English. So that’s why Shoya misunderstood. Also, in Japan, we only say the word “好き（Suki)” to the opposite sex when we mean “I love you” as a romantic phrase. So Shoko probably loved Shoya, both as a friend and as a lover. いつも見てて楽しい動画をありがとう！

I believe mother basically was expecting daughter to get stronger through additional hardship at home. The "you gotta do better to receive my affection" treatment. She was acting that way because she herself felt weak and powerless in that situation. Abandoned by her husband and scorned by his family, unable to help(and later protect) her child. Naturally, in terms of artistic undertones it signifies her cutting the connection with her suffering child, refusing to hear her voice. In a way it also makes her "deaf" to her own children, isolated in her own house about as much as both of her daughters.

As a hard-of-hearing and chronically ill person, this movie deeply resonated with me and was done very well. I was also severely bullied in middle school and high school, and I had to transfer more than once. There was even a point where it was a teacher who broke my hearing aids and injured me rather than the usual students. This movie has a very emotional meaning to me, having had these same experiences. It shows the harsh realities of living in the world as a disabled individual and doesn't sugarcoat the mental trauma brought on by dealing with the relentlessness of negative people and the limitations of whatever disabilities and/or illnesses you have. I will say there was also some satisfaction and validation when you kept getting mad at the bullying and such lol

This is my favorite movie, in particular because it helped me cope with my childhood traumas. After going to high school, I hated myself because of the way I behaved in elementary school, and I thought that all my former classmates hated me too.

They said that they aren't mad at me at all! Now, when I rewatch the movie, I don't cry at all (well, maybe only at the end), and throughout the movie there is only a sad smile on my face.

A Silent Voice is genuinely my favourite movie of all time, even outside of anime. It might not have any epic fights or convoluted plot lines, but the raw emotions that this movie can make you feel are just extremely deep and personal.

I'm really glad you reacted to this movie and give it the appreciation it deserves, it's truly one of a kind.

[@tidalwavegamr]

This is my absolute favorite movie of all time. I was introduced to it by an ex gf who was deaf in one ear and hard of hearing in her other one. It truly hit me on a personal level and even after her and I have moved on it only made it feel more personal and I still enjoy it to this day. I managed to learn a lot of ASL from her and for her and I don't regret it at all. I just wish more people knew it sign language or at least understood the struggles deaf people have.

[@natsumiNH]

This movie is amazing and really resonates with me on a personal level. I used to pretty much be in the same position as Shoko when growing up, being that I was hard-of-hearing and wore hearing aids. Getting constantly harassed and bullied in Elementary and Middle School (even High School sometimes), it very much weighed on my mental health just like it did for Shoko. Seeing all of that reflected in this film just really strikes a chord with me, and the manga is even better too.

[@Haoareyousohandsome]

3:45 in this scene that green hair girl (forgot her name) opens her mouth way earlier than others and shoko seems to have noticed and that’s why she started singing I’m not sure if my interpretation is correct but I’ll like to belive that she deliberately opened her mouth to embarrass shoko just shows that bullying can come in many forms sometimes even the one being bullied doesn’t realize

[@Naochanmegamilv-02346eo]

31:20　I am Japanese. It's long, Nicholas, but I hope you can read it. 　In Japan, men sometimes express "I love you" as "The moon is beautiful."　　 　At this time, Ishida misheard Nishimiya's "Suki" as "Tsuki". This is not a scene that Ishida intentionally knew and expressed, but a scene in which his feelings of "liking" for Nishimiya happened to come out unintentionally as words.　　　　　 　This story is derived from an episode in which the Japan writer Natsume Soseki pointed out to a student who translated "I love you" as "I love you" when he was an English teacher, "Japan people don't say that, but the moon is beautiful." 　In Japan, there are cases where the expression is not direct but indirect and profound. This expression is so beautiful that it is still sometimes used as an elegant expression of affection. This kind of expression is sometimes used outside of this anime, so just knowing the meaning of this expression will allow you to enjoy the anime even deeper!

OH NAH, let's go! This is literally my favorite anime movie til' this day.

I've yet to bring myself to go through the manga of it, but I definitely will. The weirdest and also kinda precious thing that happened to me when watching for the first time was during that last scene, the moment all the X-s fall down and I've started wiping my face with the same motions Ishida did just a few moments later.

to me personally, “hitting way too close to home” is an understatement, when I was little, I had trouble making friends, so I found comfort in violence (for some reason), and hurt a lot of people, but as I grow older I can finally see the damage I've done, to the person I care, to my family, even to the people that is no longer with us, so through out my life I've been wanting to kill myself for this burning self-hatred, but if I do that I would hurt the person that cares about me even more, so I sealed myself away from the rest of the world, but this movie helps me realize there is a chance for redemption, even for the worst scum like me so I will rate this movie 10/10 absolutely must watch, this movie changed my life in some degree

[@1.stitch.at.a.time.creations]

I am so beyond glad to see that you got just as much enjoyment out of this movie as I did. At it's simplest, this movie is about a boy learning to forgive himself, to love himself and to understand his own value. People make mistakes that others may find unforgivable every day. Having the ability to recognize those flaws in yourself, work toward correcting your course by taking accountability for those mistakes and being attentive to the needs of those around you takes more courage than anything in the world. It takes an extreme amount of resolve to analyze yourself in this way. Some even find the struggle worth ending their life over. But you have to courage to do that, endure that punishment, build relationships and come out the other side knowing that you have people that support you and see value in you beyond your flaws, then that is about the most self aware and fulfilled that you can ever hope yourself to be. I think this film does such a better job of visually and verbally communicating mental illness, disability and the mental struggle of trying to accept yourself than I've seen in any film of its kind. Every time I watch this film, it breaks me down and puts me back together every time.

[@reyeszenpai7265]

movie was so good i made my essay assignment on this movie i think its such a deep movie about anyone who feels regret for what theyve done people who blame themselves and people who were in the bullied position i think it just hits everything really well i remember seeing a post hating this movie cause it glorified the bully but they literally failed to understand the basic premise of the movie

I really enjoyed your discussion in this video. Like I could tell you connected with this film from how you talked about Ishida's journey from blaming himself to learning to love himself.

I'm happy my favourite reactor likes this piece, Nick. I think it's a masterpiece that painstakingly depicts the process of regretting past actions, reforming and learning to forgive oneself. On the other hand the villain, Ueno, who struggles to do so, might actually be the child who needs the most emotional care, and I just can't bring myself to hate her. Having read the original, I've come to understand her a little better. By the way, I didn't realise when I first saw the movie that Sahara's VA was the same as Mikasa's.

[@soldano4552]

this is such a good movie so glad u watched it i completely agree with gigguk calling it a masterpiece

[@geekey3441]

19:06 "Nobody is here [at the movie theater], what is it, The Marvels?" *sobbing*

[@lizrobson1494]

One of my favorite animated movies of all time. Bawled my eyes out the first time i watched this ❤

[@SuzakuX]

Very relatable movie for me. I was bullied throughout school, especially in high school, and was very introverted in general. I used to walk around with my head down looking at the ground instead of at eye level. It's not like I didn't have friends, but there wasn't anyone I really clicked with until my junior year of high school. A friend of mine moved away at the end of my sophomore year, but there was a girl he was childhood friends with, and on the first day of my junior year she saw that I was alone at lunch and invited me to sit with her friends at their lunch table. They were all either a year older or a year younger than me, cool outsider types who were into art and music. From then my life changed a lot, I became more outgoing and would hang out with them outside of school and started engaging in extracurricular activities. It's just a shame it took me that long to open up, kind of a bummer to know that there was this group of people I really connected with but was born a year too late or a year too early to have met them earlier in my school life.

[@annajensen7207]

This movie never fails to make me sob

[@ElkayeMacasil]

Love this movie. Appreciate that you watched it, I don't even know you or your videos but I like your reaction.

[@joelfelippevelloso3635]

Finally, this is on of the greatest anime movie. I Love "Your name" and "I Want to eat your pancreas" you need to watch all movies from Shinkai

[@Ebyruchan]

i loved this movie, and I'm so glad you liked it. As for my favorite anime movie, nothing can top Princess Mononoke for me, honestly. But I do love those classic darker anime films that came out. Another great one is Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence. And one that I rewatch all the time is Ponyo haha it's so cute

[@Bronk7]

Thanks for this Nick, been waitin' for this one for a while and it's great to finally see what you think of one of my favourite anime films / general films of all time, you're a legend 👊

[@calebyoung8805]

Wow, I’m thankful for Nick’s perspective and grounded commentary at the end of the video. It’s not a side we see often, so it’s nice to know you also deal with that sort of stuff and gone through your own journey

[@DarkAngelD]

This is one of my favorite anime movies. The symbolism in it was top tier. Now I don't know if you take much recommendations but I do recommend "Josee, The Tiger and The Fish". Now it's been a while since I've seen it, but from what I remember, it was a beautiful story and I am really curious on how you will react on it.

[@BenSchw3]

I havent seen this movie yet! Until i saw that you reacted to it, so i stopped your video after 4 minutes and watched it on my own first. Then i watched your reaction. Thank you for showing me this awesome movie nic! It really was amazing

[@ulrichheiwolt6120]

At 52:00 in you reaction he sais: "I want help you .. ", but it is a wrong translation, ist must be "I want YOU to help ME live". That ist much more, it gives a purpose to her and she does exactly that by guiding him form this moment on.

[@naveendavidhanahena1715]

A silent voice is my favourite anime movie too. I highly recommend you to watch "Maquia: When the promised flower blooms" which is my second favourite and it's criminally underrated and underappreciated.

[@dannylee2729]

Wolf Children is an absolute favorite of mine, it made me cry 3 times (separate scenes). Its an amazing story of a diligent woman trying to be the best mother she can, even though she has barely any knowledge on how to raise wolf children. It's happy, it's sad, it's joyful and euphoric at times, and sometimes its downright tragic. The animation is gorgeous, the sound design is spectacular, and the soundtrack is so majestic, it fits very well with many of the scenes. I recommend Wolf Children to anyone who's a fan of anime movies because I believe its one of the best out there.

[@Noname_et]

Def Your Name! #君の名は🎉 観るって言ってるけど、今観てほしい笑

[@Salvador-312]

Such a masterpiece dude I watched this and “your name” in the same day. It was just one of them days lol.

[@transyuri4534]

This is my favorite movie. Before I started HRT it was the first thing to make me cry in a long time.

[@solenyadnapa8191]

A silent voice, your name, and weathering with you all made me cry

[@RudyCallOfDuty]

I've watched this movie 2 times, and this is my second time watching a reaction to it and going all the way throw it, still can't stop sobbing 😂, It's a masterpiece.

[@sebastianm.6669]

I didnt expect my day to turn out even better. coming home after my work was praised in class and seeing my favorite youtuber, nicholasLight, uploaded his reaction to one of my favorite movies this is going to be one of the rides of all time.

[@thenascarman]

This is definitely a masterpiece but for me personally, the best anime movie either has to be "Your name" or "I want to eat your pancreas" Out of these two I probably enjoyed "I want to eat your pancreas" more, It really takes a lot to make audience cry even after showing the ending right in the beginning.

[@morganjones2744]

One of my favorite anime movies for sure. As someone with hearing aids myself, the amount of kids in middle school that wanted to hold them--- it was rediculous. I never let anyone touch them, even my friends. I relate to her quiet a bit. I felt for him too, like, he was a bad kid, but when he changed he felt such shame and hatred for himself and I just wanted to give him a hug and tell him its ok 😥

[@tuyet2bdead193]

There is one mistranslated part at the end, Shoya says, "I want you to help me live" because "I want to help you live" is useless to someone who hates themselves but loves others. Shoya knows this about himself and Shoko. His words gave her a reason not to try to kill herself, a purpose, like how he didnt know the garden ornaments purpose, he found out later. This goes without saying, but we can assume Shoya said those words not out of self-centeredness but because he would do the same as we saw throughout the film.

[@ARattyBestFriend]

I think Shoya crying at the end is one of the most beautiful scenes in all of not only anime, but animation. This movie makes me cry every time I see it and I think everyone should be able to do that too if they find belonging in the character's struggle to belong.

[@lefeshh]

Never thought i would see Nick reacting to anime that is not Shonen especially This type of anime

[@brendalitvinski3537]

a silly remark is that Nishimiya makes the sign like a peace out, that meaning see you later, but in the firework festival, before her attempt, she doesn't sign that.

[@ecryloxr89]

This masterpiece was even oscar nominated :) Well, sadly it lost against Boss Baby.. Yes, Boss Baby.. A silent voice is a movie, where I´ll always tear up. That´s a rare feat..

[@SIANAsWorld]

This made me cry so much. As someone who suffers from the same problem as the two main characters, this opened my eyes. Thank you for opening my eyez

[@ssjkaryuusennin]

I recommend Your Name if you didn't watch it yet. And if you want to get real depressed watch Grave of the Fireflies. It's the saddest thing you can get

[@x3mslayer]

10/10. Deep meaning to the whole story, great animation, music and characters. A story that makes us want to be better actually! You should definitely give "Your Name" a try sometime soon, two peak movies!

[@thatonefriend1834]

Yo as someone who has had some serious struggles with depression, this hits hard. Loved seeing your reaction to this movie. (Also to the people who look through the comments before or during the video this movie does have some heavy topics if not already made clear, viewer discretion is advised.)

[@phippaaa]

i think that Maquia: When The Promised Flower Blooms may be the best anime movie ive seen. it's really just such an amazingly crafted work of art

[@saiyan_hashirama709]

The VA of Shoko Nishimiya is just EXCELLENT she really passed the emotion through our heart 💯💫

[@nicolasmaschio6691]

Yo Nick, since you asked about our favorite anime movie, mine is "Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms..." Almost got dehydrated from watching this (spent 20 min crying nonstop near the end), I'm pretty sure this movie isn't one of the popular ones, but man... the feelings hit hard. Pretty sure you won't regret watching it.

[@luke_d2215]

For everyone who wants to know why Shoko gifted ishida those figurines, they have a symbolic meaning. What do you give someone you love as a present ? Exactly, flowers, but out of shyness she gave him those flowerpot accessories and I absolutely love it

[@Nour-db7ig]

The scene when he reads his classmates’s lips badmouthing him really hit me, he realized nishimaya could do the same !

[@GrowingDownUnder]

The creator also made an anime called To Your Eternity it's a masterpiece, in my top 10 best anime. You have to watch To Your Eternity...and just a heads up it's got action, adventure, fantasy and all the cool stuff in it so if you read the title and think it's just a sad anime or whatever it's actually got some action and fights and cool stuff for you to see. Very powerful story telling though, amazing characters and world building

[@NamJunhyun]

Kinda fell down tho after that Girl Arc... Manga reader btw

[@Sinnohy]

I never knew, I have to check it out. could you please suggest me whether I should watch the anime or read the manga? (assuming you finished them both)

[@Sinnohy]

there will always be downfalls, but that doesn't make the rest of said series bad, no? I mean, no series is perfect, and that's okay.@@NamJunhyun

[@GrowingDownUnder]

@@NamJunhyun season 2 I think was a bit disappointing, season 1 was great and some people thought the last arc in season 1 was mid but some people love that arc too. I think either way there's not really any bad parts of the anime but there is some parts less good. Either way just watch season 1, maybe the first 12 episodes is the best part to start with. First 12 episodes are literally perfect, can't find any flaws with them if I had to

[@GrowingDownUnder]

@@Sinnohy The anime is certainly very well done, beautifully animated, they really did a great job with the anime I think it's an adaptation that can do the manga justice

[@patato4250]

The movie was a love story, where the characters learn to love themselves. A girl that just wants to live normally but cant because of something beyond her control, and a boy that cant live normally because of something he did in the past. The girl is deaf literally, while the boy is deaf psychologically, both hating themselves and blaming themselves for being in the situation theyre in and the effect they have on the lives of people around them, qnd both coming to terms with themselves and finally learn to accept who they are and love all aspects of themselves.

[@claranunes5576]

THIS IS MY FAVORITE MOVIE OF ALL TIME❤❤❤❤

[@jenmiranda13]

And this is why I have high expectations from the world around me. I'm drawn-- like a moth to a flame-- to complexity. I came across this when I was in elementary school. It makes me cry every time I watch it. I have anxiety. It's not noticable due to my years of perfecting my ability to hide my emotions but there's times when there's cracks in my walls. When that happens, it's because I'm out of my comfort zone, doing something that I haven't done before while people are watching me. I also feel intense anger, which is why I have good control over it. Anyway, I love this movie.

[@tacoanime1711]

I love that you reacted to this movie! This is one of my favorite works of Naoko Yamada (former director at Kyoto Animations) - All of her works have made such a big impact on me and are very touching. My favorite film by her, and one of my favorite films of all time is Liz and the Blue Bird - tho you would need to watch Sound Euphonium to fully understand the context of that. So not recommending that (tho that show is one of my favorites). I think another great film to watch would be Your Name. I'm not too crazy about Makoto Shinkai films, but this one was really amazing. And like his other films, it's one of the most eye candy anime experience you can have. Another favorite is pretty much anything directed by Satoshi Kon. If I had to pick one, then Perfect Blue would be my first choice. Paprika is also great. His films are a bit on the psychological horror side, but are incredibly deep and have amazing visual story telling. Sadly Kon past away back in 20..12? I think? Somewhere around there. Amazing talent. Just one thing to note tho: pretty much all of his films has a moment of nudity, so just keep that in mind if you plan to stream. And of course, you can't have the certificate of anime fan without having seen at least one Ghibli film. (Joking ofc). But if you haven't seen any Ghibli film, then definitely go watch one. I would recommend Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, or Howl's Moving Castle. Tho pretty much any of their films are good.
