I dunno if it was different in the movie, but...

Spoiler

Wasn't that after everyone had all the big arguments during the movie production? She might have thought it largely stemmed from her inclusion.

That part isn't present in the movie.

Spoiler

There is no movie in the movie.
Also, I'm reading some stuff about the manga on the wiki and Ishida getting bullied is really downplayed in the movie. In the movie it's nothing compared to what he made Nishimiya go through, he just gets ignored basically.

I'm definitely going to read the manga.

Spoiler

Isn't there a montage that shows him getting the same treatment? Never read the manga but it seems like it was pretty clear that he was heavily bullied and since it was the same thing he did, he was able to empathize with her.

Yes. You're right I forgot about that part.

Okay yeah, I imagine leaving that whole bit out of the movie would leave you confused as to "why now?"

Spoiler

Ishida's attempts to get Nishimiya more friends kinda get blown up temporarily and Ishida gets the brunt of it, he tries to act like he isn't completely miserable but Nishimiya knows and she's blaming herself for everything.

Spoiler

Well there's a scene on a bridge that kinda serves the same purpose in the movie. I had forgotten about it when I wrote my initial message.

Any word of a US release yet?

 

[TrueOutlook]

It was such a good movie, I read the manga straight after it, just to see if I get could anything more out of it.

Surprisingly, it followed the manga incredibly closely.

Spoiler

Does anyone know what was up with that one scene where she goes to the doctors and they say something about her hearing? It was sort of forgotten immediately after in the movie and the manga didn't even touch it.

Spoiler

I'm not sure I remember the details correctly. But I think it's implied that they learn from the doctor that her hearing in the left or right ear is now completely gone and won't come back. IIRC in later parts of the movie she wears only one hearing aid instead of two.

Spoiler

So what was the deal with the mean girl? Did she have a crush on Ishida and was jealous of Shouko?

Yes and yes.

Spoiler

She also blames Shouko for Ishida being ostracised and have his life messed up

 

[Scipio]

I have not yet seen the movie, but the most hatable character in the manga was by far the class rep (or I believe she was). Absolutely unbearable.

Is the ending the same?

 

[WrenchNinja]

Yes and yes.

Spoiler

She also blames Shouko for Ishida being ostracised and have his life messed up

Spoiler

Did Shouko have a crush on Ishida even in elementary school? Or was she just really forgiving even then?

 

[Deleted member 607798]

Just watched this 2 days ago and wow. I've never felt so much after a movie. I thought it was much better than Your Name. Absolutely loved it.

 

[AZ Greg]

Did a second viewing and enjoyed it even more. Easily better than Your Name IMO.

Any word on a Blu Ray release with English subs? Would be happy to purchase it, one of the best movies I've seen in awhile.

Earliest known is a UK import in December. Don't think its region free either. Also doesn't appear to be a US licensor yet or any news of a theater release which is a fucking shame.

 

[LunarMX]

I just randomly found out that this movie is coming as limited release in theaters stateside on the 23rd of this month. I wanted to check what GAF thought about this and looking at the trailer and Rotten tomatoes it looks really good. Now I'm depressed that this is not getting as much buzz as Your Name.
