#koe no katchi manga

[quaggyday]

tw: small discussion of no consent very brief, do not try and debate with me please just block me if you don’t agree. Also I’m using their first names if that’s okay

Personally I don’t think I would hate Noaka that much if it weren’t for the fact that the fanbase seems to justify her actions all the goddam time

“She knows she’s awful” Guess what that doesn’t change anything, just because you know your awful doesn’t mean your suddenly changed or a better person. She knows what she’s doing is wrong and she still continues to do it anyway

“Miki is worse” For the love of all that is holy can we stop bringing up Miki when it comes to calling out Noaka’s morally not great decisions. Yes Miki was completely in the wrong for doing nothing about Shouko’s bullying and than blaming Shoya in the present and yes that scene did indeed infuriate me. But honestly I don’t hate her as much because it actually feels like she’s trying while Noaka feels like she’s doing the bare minimum 

“She tries to get better” Okay she insults Shouko with sign language, good for her that she tried to learn. She’s still pretty hostile and mean even with doing the basic decency of not attacking Shouko

“We see where she’s coming from” Oh goodie she only bullied Shouko because she was jealous, while yes an interesting motive doesn’t make her any better because she’s still hurting Shouko. Motive and intent don’t matter when it comes to effect and consequence

“She’s better in the manga” I read the manga and saw the basic things left out of the movie and I felt the manga made her worse. After attacking Shouko her response is basically “Shoya is gonna hate me” not “Wtf is wrong with me”. Oh yah and she locked herself with her comatose crush, let none of his friends or family in, and than (tw for no consent) kissed him in his coma and basically said its better he would be dead than alive if she could have him

And to top if all off she gets no consequences. Shoya was ostracized and bullied, and while yes from a place of guilt he tried to become a better person and earned a right to be better. I am not saying Naoka needs to go through what Shoya went through but Noaka isn’t even looked at weirdly for ASSULTING Shouko for no good reason

Basically I honestly genuinely think I would have liked or understood or analyzed her more if she wasn’t constantly let off the hook for her downright heinous actions against the girl who showed no anger towards her. Love this movie, Noaka just enrages me

i dont like kyoani they draw all the girls moe ,young and give them super short skirts also i havent seen koe no katchi yet but for a manga that deals with depression, suicide and bullying the trailer looks too much like a romance movie
