I just don't have the patience for certain things and tropes in anime, not sure if it's a "Simpsons school principal am I out of touch; no it's the kids who are wrong" thing!The things I talked about positively though, I genuinely appreciated!As for Ping Pong, you can't imagine how game I am for that. I'll sit Shiki out as I don't have that one, but I'm down otherwise. 15-Love!! <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="🏓" title="Ping pong    :ping_pong:" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/1f3d3.png" data-shortname=":ping_pong:" />[USER=4379]@D1tchd1gger[/USER] I WAS KIDDING lol you're actually not the first person to tell me the Silent Voice manga is superior to the movie (the first one being RadFemHedonist)! I don't want to repeat myself a lot but I didn't like that movie a whole lot on first view neither but that makes me curious about the manga.Yeah, the backgrounds did their job for sure but they weren't dense with detail, which always (ALWAYS WITHOUT FAIL) gets me drooling. Lordhippos gives good examples, like Shinkai. The backgrounds in his works are always extremely dense with detail, colour and texture.It's marvelous and I found there wasn't much of that here with the exception of maybe the temple and the road where the old man is putting up the eggs in the small shrine. My favorite though was the one close to Jun's house with all the vacant lots. It put me there completely and I loved that.Still, despite my musings on the movie, I appreciate the talent and work it takes to create this.I don't know if this makes me seem jaded or insensitive, but it honestly doesn't take much to get me teary eyed. There are so many examples that it would be silly to try and list them. This just didn't resonate with me emotionally.</blockquote>
