I never had the strong enthusiasm to watch any kind of animated movies until I watched “I want to eat your Pancreas” which was a movie strongly suggested by my group and I watched it until peer pressure. “ I want to eat your Pancreas” laid a strong impression on me on how far a movie can emotionally go and the other boy “your name “ made me realize how far a human’s mind can go. These two movies made me fall in love with animation and the emotion they carried. There’s no doubt that these movies were one of a kind but “Koe no Katachi” aka Silent voice was different. This movie focused on the school bully then on the victim's side. It was without a doubt one of the best movies I ever watched to date. The story plot was top notch and the way characters were displayed and the way they acted was too emotional for even a stoned cold heart to start throwing tears.
Here are some details of the movie. The movie was released in 2016 and still remains to be on the board of best animes ever made. The movie was produced by Kyoto animation which later had to go through a loss of their employees dying due to a fire caught in their workplace.
Some movies leave a deep impact on the way we think, the way we act, and the way we speak. This movie made me feel an entirely new emotion, an emotion I never encountered before.
A new realization hit me when I started watching anime movies. Animated movies had this capacity to tell a story in a whole new way and this same kind of energy would not have been the same while watching a physical and real movie. In the end Koe no Katachi really is a movie worth watching I must say.
