Solid anime movie. They do things different here which can be hard to get used to but does it matter that much? I don’t think so. German dub is really bad in this case in my opinion. Use the original if you watch in Germany.
This story had a meaningful premise with a girl who comes to think her words are nothing but poison to those around her. So she decides to never speak again to save herself from destroying anymore of the lives around her. I found myself trying to compare this movie to A Silent Voice, but this movie had far more glaring issues.
The largest culprit was the egg. When mixing self fantasy into a reality, it really only works when that object or dream has a strong metaphorical value or connection to the character. In this situation, the egg just felt like the writer chose some random object, and arranged the story with it. If there is a cultural significance to the egg in Japan (as the symbol of creation/birth perhaps), it should have been better explained.
The animation and voice actors were nice, not breathtaking, but quality. The music was excellent throughout and I loved the way the movie used it to express the major plot points throughout the film. Side note: I would be careful where you watch this one, since there is a very poor quality English sub out there (misspellings, poor formatting, missing lines, etc).
Overall the movie was decent. I think it certainly could have been made better.
A very interesting movie about a girl trying to find her voice after believing speaking only hurt others. The romance in this also took a backseat regarding how important it is, so some might not like that.
The dad needs his teeth kicked in.
I thought the egg was a good way to show how the child's mind is affected by the trauma of "causing" her parents divorce.
I don't much care for the romance/prince aspect of it, so I'm glad that the mc & Takumi didn't become a thing.
Jun's Princess breakdown in the last 15 minutes of the film destroyed the film. Jun shitting on all of her friends who were helping her throughout the movie by hiding from all of them in that old abandoned love hotel to setup a love confession to Takumi was pretty selfish. I thought The emotional catharsis was misplaced, it should have been between Jun and her mother not her and Takumi. I cared more about Jun’s relationship with her mom and wanted to see a resolution between Jun and her mother. I wanted something more than just watching her cry in the auditorium of the play, I wanted to see actual dialogue between them. I wanted to hear what Mari Okada would have said to her mother.
I GIVE THIS A 1/10 , SIZZIE PAPAASAHINN LANG KAYO NETO

They should have left that egg and other stupid stuff aside, It would have been a much better plot.
The only good thing about the entire movie was the ending, because of the song.
