To start off, I'm a huge fan of romance anime, I always care most about the main couple's chemistry, their development and how it ties into the overall narrative. Silent Voice is always praised as "The best anime movie of all time", I totally get why it's so acclaimed by many anime fans.

To me, the biggest strength of this movie is the redemption of Ishida Shoyo and its realistic portrayal of bullying, depression and harassment, how it can affect each person and how they recover from that depression and isolation. I loved it but something didn't feel right. I rewatched it several times and this is probably the most one-sided romance movie I've ever watched.

Well that’s cause it isn’t about romance. Sure theres a bit going on but that is by far from the main focus. Everything else that you listed was the purpose of the movie and if you think it did exactly that then it did it’s job.

The movie has massive pacing issues, it probably skipped 20-30 chapters. Almost every character had a back-story.
the manga is a must read.

tbh this movie isn't all about romance , its a story of shoyo being able to love himself again and that is the reason why you feel so

20-30 is a huge exaggeration, more like 5-10. The only major parts that we’re skipping were the movie sub plot and the shitty plot threads started for basically every character and that we never got an actual end too.

I mean, it’s implied that there is some sort of romantic feelings between the 2 leads but there’s honestly no reason to have it labeled as one. That’s like saying Naruto is a romance because he married Hinata

ye, but the Yuzuru arc was so good, they basically skipped most of it. They still kept out alot of stuff.
all the characters had some depth.

romance movie? how do you fail to understand the point of the movie if you say you rewatched it multiple times? it's just a romantic subtext, it IS a redemption movie.

title of this thread should be 'somethings wrong with me'. useless thread.

Part of my (many) issue(s) with this movie was that it showed signs of ending as a romance, which would have been predictable and in poor taste, but ended up at a “friends are the magic we needed all along” type ending that still somehow felt flat and out of place.

It’s not romance. Lil bit implied her having a crush but nothing more. I don’t even think it’s enough for the romantic subtext tag.

it's not labeled as a romance it's in the romantic subtext category. that means that romantic feelings may be implied but that's it. this movie definitely does not fall under the romance category as it hardly focuses on romance

Dude ASV ain't a typical high school romance movie. Just how were you under this impression, despite rewatching several times?

This isn't like Your Name or Weathering with You. This movie tackles way different themes compared to them.

well I for one think this movie would have been much better if it went all in on the implied romance. Especially if that means we could do away with Ueno's half-assed and undeserved redemption arc and replace that with Shouko getting what she so obviously wants and deserves.

I agree with you. The movie is really good at what it does, but the girl isn’t developped much as a character, and is more of a plot-wise « motivator » element for the main character.

To me this movie never felt like a romance movie about 2 people learning to love each other. it is a movie about 2 people learning to love themselves
