...then you might like Koe no Katachi add

Watching Koe no Katachi, I couldn't help but notice the remarkable similarities to Anohana. The stories revolve around characters initially as young children when an incident breaks their fragile realities tearing friendships and livelihoods alike apart at the seams. Further, they have a similar time skip from elementary to high school to explore how the characters changed overtime and how the past has affected them. In the end, both are about the perils of life and growing up. There are consequences for every action and life isn't nearly as simple as it was when you were a child. Communication might appear to be a simple task but even as we grow in age expressing emotions and words is arduous and full of unexpected complexities. We all experience pain and the journey to conquer it and redeem our mistakes is at the root of both tales.
