Well I've always wonder like how many people talk how they don't like ueno but atleast from what I've seen on reels, I've seen more reels of ueno than any other reels related from the movie. I know what she did was horrible and I agree that she was a bad person but let me explain guys. I'm talking about a favourite character, not a well written or good character in general. I'm talking about a character which people can add on their waifu list. I agree I'm on shoko's side but I like her personality and character design. AS FOR THE REASON WHY SHE ACT LIKE THAT WAS BECAUSE SHE WAS A TSUNDERE GUYS AND WE ALL LOVE TSUNDERE RIGHT GUYS!!! RIGHT?

If u could choose one character to cease to exist in any anime, it would be ueno. Shoko didn’t deserve the things that were done to her by ueno

I like Shoko more than Uneno
But I don't hate Uneno because she was willing to change knowing that she was wrong.
Even though I hated her in the start but the hate went away.

…what is bro yapping about?

Like, seeing Ueno as a more well-written character or finding her more compelling is understandable enough, it’s a matter of preference, but you completely lost me when you started talking about waifus and how that’s a different thing from a character being well-written or good. Closest I can decipher is that you’re asking whether I prefer her surface level qualities/aesthetics over Shouko’s, which feels hard to judge on account of the fact that this isn’t the kind of movie with overly simplistic characterization where the only value is their aesthetics. The writing, deeper meanings, & nuances of the characters are inseparable from how much I’m able to engage with and enjoy them, so the basis of this question is practically a non-starter.

Bah, I’ve always found waifu culture incomprehensible anyway, and getting an opportunity to rant about it feels refreshing

I don't care for Shoko, but Ueno definitely is in no way likeable. Maybe manga makes her more "relatable".

Kawai I hate too but I still think a character like her makes sense in the story. Ueno took it way too far several times and was ultimately forgiven just because she learned one word in sign language.

My fav character was the Grandma, most wholesome. But I think Shoko was better in terms of just like character development. Ueno was more bold (hospital scene) but she’s still like evil and manipulative sometimes. I like Shoko better because she gave second chances even though she didn’t need too, but she cares about others more than herself sadly.

if you mean looks, it's fine liking Ueno. I don't think it's a badly written character, it's an interesting one as she never learns. Though LIKING her ?? She's not a tsundere, she's just a b*tch

There is a difference with being a tsundere and being a bitch. I haven’t watched this movie in a long but I just remember her being well.. a bitch

Ueno is violent and all the hatred that she had on Shouko originates from her misunderstanding since 6th grade: Shouko likes Shouya (if you read the manga you will see). She admitted that she likes Shouya since then and she still does until grade 12. Her personalities suck and there's no need to mention her treatment of Shouko anymore. However Ueno in fact cared about Shouya and mentioned that she regretted just standing and watching Shouya suffers ever since he became the victim (but she did not regret her actions and behaviors toward Shouko at all). She did offer to help him at some points although they all turned out just as bad as it could be (these details are also from the manga). She even said something like if Shouya wakes up from the coma and does not look her way, she would prefer him not waking up at all (also from the manga). Ueno was well-written alongside our 2 protagonists, but that doesn't mean that she is good. She is far from being just a tsundere.
I believe that whether you watched the anime or read the manga, you will just hate her.

I think people too blindly hate her just because they find her annoying and block out any type of character development or motivation. People, as consumers of media need to have the emotional maturity to look past their feelings when it comes to storytelling.

Ueno is well written and becomes somewhat redeemable imo but she’s definitely nowhere near as likable (imo) as Shoko. But she is more likable than Miki tho that’s for certain.

I can respect that her straightforwardness when compared to Kawaii. She’s lustful and controlling but I’ve seen high schoolers way worse

She's a selfish b* it still amazed me when shoya was hospitalized she was acting so bossy and didn't allowed anyone to meet him as if she's his wife or family even kissed him with no consent I mean who's she exactly to him after her betrayal he never even want to get along with her she's pathetic who can only blame others while keep forgetting what a shit she is if anything her looks is only the good thing about her but with that personality even her good looks feels so ugly ngl but I want to throw her in H world she fits there well.

She's a well written character, even if people try to deny that... I don't like her more than Shouko, but I can't understand her being who she was.

I don't dislike her, personality wise I think we can agree who's the "worst" but even so, that's not the point of this movie.

You're supposed to understand that people are just people with all their shame, flaws etc..

Ueno is that character afraid of changes and pretending to be tough, while being scared.

There's nothing wrong with liking her character.
