    I forgot that I put this on my Amazon wish list. Dad bought me the English dub streaming version. I watched it and man, it made me tear up. Again. And I don't blame anyone for thinking that the dude is a s**thead for bullying a deaf girl, but there was a lot of other s**t going on in this movie. I still love it.

    Would be interested to know what the Deaf community thinks about ASV. I read the manga a while back and to me, as a non-Deaf disabled person, it left a bad taste in my mouth. imo, the whole story is focused on a guy who was an ableist and abusive little shithead as a kid now seeking to show everyone that he's no longer an ableist and abusive little shithead he won't be exiled by his peers anymore. I would have to reread it to explain in more detail why it gave me this impression, but yeah. Allyship should not be centered on the privileged person's feelings and conscience.

      Editing … I haven't read this but I had the same impression of it. It's really up to whether all teh feels is enough to help me look past that.

      Editing … Shouya was called out on this issue specifically by multiple characters, it's why Yuzuru shut him down when he first tried to see her, and then he proved he was willing to do the actual work. The manga had the support of the Japanese Federation of the Deaf if that means anything to you.

      Editing … I just remember being really dissatisfied with the ending because I still didn't get the impression that the main character truly cared about being an ally for the right reasons (i.e. selfless, and purely because it's the right thing to do) at the end of the series. He was still doing/saying things that made me think "has this guy learned anything other than ASL and the bare minimum standards of not being scum of the earth by not abusing disabled people?" That's good that Japanese Federation of the Deaf approves though

      Editing … 1) (minor thing) They're using Japanese Sign Language (JSL), not American Sign Language (ASL).

      Editing … 2) Various (American) Deaf people I follow on Twitter (I'm learning ASL) liked it, though agreed it wasn't perfect

      Editing … Thanks for the correction, i always default to the acronym "ASL" without fully processing what it stands for lol. Gotta stop doing that. Anyway, good to know

    That intro. I just thought, why the hell am I hearing The Who in a new anime? Got me hooked, though.

    Oh man, s**t got dark in this movie right from the beginning. It's a bit of a slow burn, but man, it's good. It also came out at the same time as Your Name.

    The theatres in Japan could've made this a double feature. Two tearjerkers for the price of one.

      Editing … I mean this in the least weeb way possible but anime films always seem to make live action films look like complete trash, something about them is just awe-inspiring, this one included
