A Silent Voice
kaiserwilhelm01 said: Why did she forgive him so easily?He was a bully,a** and never apologize to him properly and why did she fall in love with him?It's so fast and meaningles.Did they adapt to manga is wrong? She was incredibly kind and when they were older she forgave him because they were kids even if it was horrible. He even learned sign language because of her. He did eventually apologize. She realized this and was happy. She slowly fell in love with him throughout the movie because of his consideration, his new found kindness and the fact no one else has gone this far for her besides her family. |

| Ngl, the romance of this movie was undercooked & she forgives him way too quickly. Still a great movie in my opinion. |
" Kindness can sometimes lead you to trouble. "  |
| She had a crush on him since day one. Also, she was insecure, anxious and had low self esteem. Those people tend to believe that they deserve the suffering they go through, so she did not held the grudge. Also, there is a major time skip at the beginning and normal people tend to move on. Dunno how you can consider this "unrealistic". |

| In the manga acc to her inner monologue,she hated him during their reunion though she noticed the change in him which led to her forgiving him. |
| I always thought that it was because she felt socially misplaced, she felt like a burden in any position and easily attached to people who accepted her condition, Shouko did not have the self-esteem to face those who mistreated her as she personally felt guilty of being herself. That is why Sahara was so important to her and her relationship with Ushio developed like it did. I didn't feel like it was forced as more like a characteristic of her own personality, a character capable of holding and acting by grudges would behave differently, Shouko didn't face Ushio until the end |
| She likes violence,i guess. |
 |
| She forgave him easy maybe since she thought he was hot, and wanted to bang. Lol On a more serious note, it is mainly since the author wanted to portray it this way since not forgiving him would hinder the message of the story. It would be a pretty dark message if changing yourself changed nothing. Also, making a female into a waifu who loves the mc is far more marketable than just a friend who forgives the mc. That would be a bit of a anti-climax. |

| The ridiculous replies in this thread shows the shallow way of thinking of MAL users(not the ones who are joking I'm taking about the serious comments)well it's not that surprising since they are known to be like that. |
My doctor has always told me to smoke. He even explains himself: “Smoke, my friend. Otherwise someone else will smoke in your place.” |
domata said: Im reading the replies and im sadly seeing that people are severely missunderstanding the characters really though, the movie doesn't do that much for it's characters. they're not exactly 'deep' enough to be misunderstood. MC is one step away from being a self-insert (that step being his backstory and his predictable response to said backstory) and the girl is somehow an even worse victim of poor character writing—ever the hurt puppy, ever the damsel in distress. why am i supposed to think this film has value if the characters feel so cardboard? i'd genuinely like to know how others get past this, because i just don't know how to empathize with a piece of white bread. EDIT: i know i sound like a bit of an asshole above, but i'm only frustrated because i really wanted to enjoy this. i am the kind of person the darker themes of the show are meant to appeal to, and there were some moments that, had the characters been believable, would've been deeply emotional. but they weren't. i couldn't care because they felt so, so unrealistically one-dimensional. and it sucks. |

| Because shes not some vengeful/hateful person like you people and has learned to move forward from her past to forgive him after hes shown some real remorse? Did ya'll just purposely ignore everything leading up to when she decided to forgive him? Even misinterpreting her character? Shes not a self insert for you bullied folks that want vindication. |

Thats just the type of character she is, even through extreme bullying she was still trying to communicate, plus the whole bug thing (trying not to spoil it) they both had the same kind of plans as you find out at the end |

Feel free to wallow in your contempt of your misunderstanding of the movie. i haven't found anyone 'explaining' why i'm 'misunderstanding' the movie yet. i think they failed to deliver on writing complex, human-like characters and i haven't yet seen any reason to think otherwise. hypocrisy is just kinda funny, that's all. sorry if you took it personally ^-^;; |

| Its hilarious to see the amount of BS being spout here by wanna-be elitists. Not only did he suffer the consequences of bullying, he did apologize, not through words(though I'm forgetting the exact dialogue) but through his actions which the guy above me has laid down. He learnt his lesson and worked hard to EARN an apology. On Shouko's end, all these actions are more than enough to earn an apology if she had normal esteem but from what we have been shown, she seems to have low self-esteem which means that the bar for forgiveness is far lower for her. Therefore, psychologically speaking, it makes sense that he would be forgiven. |
