10/11/2023 0 Comments A silent voice manga vs movie![]() ![]() ![]() The manga tries to find a convenient way to get all of them together and that way was making a movie.In the manga Nagatsuka decides to make a movie and everyone in the cast are given a role in the movie thus everyone staying on the same page.I can understand why the script writer decides to leave this piece out.The movie tried to be a tad bit more dark and serious considering the last half of the story handles a lot of heavy subjects.The anime also decides to cut out all the slapstick comedies and I personally think that’s a very good choice.The move was cut out to give the characters much more natural reason to meet instead of a superficial one.In the anime we see Kawai tries to patch up with Ueno and Ishida but in the manga it is much more of a necessaity for making the movie project.So,largely the emotion behind their meeting is overshadowed in the manga. Probably the major difference between the manga and anime is Ueno.She’s a very different character in the manga but she’s not as good as she should’ve been.After the fight scene outside the hospital.Her motivation becomes blurred and she takes the most cliched route possible.In the manga she doesn’t hide from Ishida and pretty much taunts him to come to her cafe when he sees her for the first time after junior high.To me that was a bad choice in the manga’s part considering in the last half you’ll have her feeling guilty for causing Ishida so much trouble in his junior high years.Also,in the manga when she asks if Ishida hates her or not.Ishida pretty much says it to her face that he hates her.It’s a betrayal to the formula of the story.If you have read the manga or seen the anime than you should know that the manga has “X” on everyone’s face that Ishida is afraid of looking in the eye,saying the truth without fear and afraid of listening to them.Despite Ueno having a “X” mark,Ishida was able to tell the truth and hear her truthfully.The anime handles the scene much more delicately as he’s afraid of confrontation and he hesitates in his conversation with Ueno. It’s not possible to point out all the minor differences.So,I’ll only talk about the major differences.The first major difference comes from when Ishida’s mom pays Nishimiya’s mom for the trouble he costs.When Ishida’s mom comes to pick Ishida up,we see that her ear is cut possibly from an earring being pulled out simillar to Nishimiya which was caused by Ishida.The manga doesn’t have this scene.The importance of this scene is the behaviour of Nishimiya’s mom.You can see that she’s frustrated with herself for taking care of Nishimiya.She can’t fix anything.The reason why she doesn’t abuse her children because her mother helps looking after her children and Nishimiya was the very reason that her husband divorced her.She wants to prove them wrong by raising her in the right way but she’s reaching her breaking point as well.So,she decides to resort to violence.This was a small little scene containing so much emotion. Since the anime Koe no katachi was released there was a lot of comments in reddit and discord about how the manga was more emotional or better than the anime.So,I decided to check it out to see if the manga is truly as superior comparing to the anime as everyone says it is and after reading it last night I can certainly say that the anime is the better version of the story.ĭon’t get me wrong.The manga was fantastic but the anime was a brilliant adaption of it’s source material.To be able to compress 63 chapters worth of material into a 120 minute film is not an easy feat and to do it with such coherence and precision is in itself is the movie’s biggest achievement.But yes,the manga has extra scenes,more character interaction,more character motivation and some different scenarios.It’s a 63 chapter manga against a 120 minute film.Of course there’s gonna be space to do a few extra scenes.
