Some people might criticize me for watching this movie dubbed, so I want to address it beforehand. I've heard that the English dub voice actress for Shoko, Lexi Marman, is deaf in real life. For me, watching the scenes where Shoko struggled to speak due to her speech impediment felt like a more authentic experience. Additionally, I filmed this reaction at 1 am (which is why I am wearing my pyjamas, lol) and was too tired to read subtitles. I wish those in the anime community who criticize others for watching subbed or dubbed would stop. Neither is the "right way" to watch anime; it's just a matter of personal preference. I hope y’all enjoy the video and check out the video sponsor Dossier!💖 dossier.co
The blonde girl is literally my least favourite character in this whole movie and it’s the same way for a lot of other people. Because she never even acknowledges how she also used to partake in the bullying. She always played the victim and blamed everyone else. She’s so infuriating!! Also YESSS Wolf Children was probably the first anime movie I watched and it was back when you could post full on anime episodes and movies on UA-cam. It made me cry so much it’s such a good and impactful movie. I also love Whisker Away too! All of these movies are my favourites along with Ghibli movies, so even if you can’t post reactions to them I still recommend you watch them because your life will change I swear.
For real! I loved the movie but a lot of those 'friends' in my opinion didn't need to get redeemed. Most of them didn't even do anything to prove that they changed or wanted to. Especially Miki (blond girl), she got no consequences and it annoys the crap out of me. I especially don't like how Shoya was being painted as the bad guy by the others for speaking tf up...they were all super hypocritical even after they threw him under the bus. It's not like Shoya was perfect either but at least he learned from his actions (because his mother was not having it lol) and made an effort to change. The bystanders were the real bullies in my opinion, Shoyo's actions stemmed from their influence and approval. (lol sorry I'm a yapper)
Well yes she is annoying, but when its clearly a mob mentality in that school, would you want to be the one to speak up? Sara tried to be friends with shoko and she was bullies so hard she left, its just like mean girls, its safer to be with her than against her *her being ueno* I was bullied my whole life, i never expected anyone to put themselves on the line for me. Blame the teacher , the adult who knew and did nothing not the little girl :/ She was kid, not everyone is strong enough to stand up (Not cool that she denied luaghing tho)
Right ? At least Ueko wasn’t Faking, she knows where she stands. The blonde girl personality was the most problematic In my Opinion cause till the end she never admitted being part of all this. She was so Manipulative. Gaslighting so much that she even gaslighted Herself. I was more ok with them being friends with Ueko cause we slowly see a change in her. But the blonde girl ? Personally I would never trust someone like this. When times get hard again she just gonna throw you under the bus and place herself as the victim. « No don’t do that » With a Smile on her Face. « I BEG him to stop, I was Scared of him ».. 💀
@@Thebeezzkneezz. she (blonde girl) did more than just that. she intentionally made mouth movements knowing shoko would look to her for the choir so that shoko would sing before everyone else to make herself look good to others when she acts nice to shoko. in the manga shes way worse as well
As a deaf person who was constantly bullied from preschool through college, I would never give my hearing aids or my cochlear implants to ANYONE because I knew they wouldn't take care of them. Hearing aids are $4,000 to $10,000 a pop (PER AID), and cochlear implants (without the surgery) are $30,000 each (because insurance won't cover them), and I would totally charge someone for property theft and damage if anything happened to my devices
Really? I'm sorry about that people are so rude and gross to look at if there are bullying you. I'm a stand up type of person. If I see someone being bullied I would just in to help. I hate seeing bully's doing annoying things like leave people alone.
ive always been bitter that i could never have earring aids despite being around 60-70% deaf (mostly because they wouldnt help as my issues stem from parts of the bones in my ear not being whole/ entirely missing) but ever since i found out the price of hearing devices, ive managed to settle with the fact that im glad im not more deaf and in desperate need of them like some people are. my family just dont have that money
The worst part is that Ishida's first instinct when he saw Nishimiya wasn't to bully her. He was actually willing to be friends or at least learn sign language. But because Ueno was annoyed by Nishimiya, he started mistreating her, nobody tried to stop him and one thing led to another........
YESS! the teachers create such a toxic environment from literally the FIRST SCENE SHES INTRODUCED. the kids were mean, but honestly i don't expect much else when the teachers are forcing shoko to rely only on other students for accomodation, without even really considering the other kid's needs. its a breeding ground for resentment, and children at that age don't handle strong feelings like that very well
This movie is so special because where other movies would take the route of villanizing the bully and saying there's nothing good to him, they show that he's a person just as much as the victim. He's not necessarily a bad person, he just made bad decisions. I also like the inclusion of Ueno because it shows that while some people can change, others can't.
As someone whose brother has suicidal idealization due to social anxiety and bullying the character of Shoya made me bawl out for an hour and a half, I'm so glad my little brother has me so he can count on me whenever it troubles him
@@julesoxana Well I'm not a sister.. Not a brother either tho you couldn't really have known, thx for the prayers I'm an atheist but it's the thought that matters
When shoko tried to confess her feelings “The moon is beautiful, isn't it?” could mean “I love you” in Japanese. It can be used to express romantic feelings indirectly,
that is a common word play in japanese, but its kind of based on the fact that tsuki and suki sound quite alike (like prev commenter said) and with shoko's difficulty with pronunciation, it would be very easy to misinterpret what she said.
@@Sandwhaler There's a semi infamous example of Japanese Author Souseki Natsume choosing to use the phrase "The moon is beautiful isn't it?" in the place of "I love you" when translating from English to Japanese. He almost certainly chose to use a reference to the moon because of the wordplay between Suki (Love) and Tsuki (moon).
3:39 She was mouthing the words on purpose so Shoko would get it wrong. I hate this character because she may have apologized but she never admitted to straight up bullying like the others.
True,That.... Biyatch wasn't helping her. If any of you have read the Manga, you will know how miserable & effed up she is.. Just want attention from everyone.
She was so much worse in the manga. I guess they cut it out because they didn't have much time to put it into the movie but it was very clear she was a narcissist. Also, the scene after Shoko's attempt in which she 'confronted her' was even worse too...she managed to make it all about herself. I really don't remember much from it since I read it a long time ago, but that much I did.
3:38 Is one of the details many people don't notice. The blond girl pretends to start singing, Shoko watches her and starts singing herself. The girl literally sabotaged her. She was also one of the kids who bullied her, but unlike Shoya who admits to it, she pretends to be an innocent lamb. She even had you fooled 😅3:56 29:53 bruh shes such a manipulative b "I never did anything to heeeeer I was hurt toooooo 🥺" ugh I hate rer so much they should've cut contact with her. She's the only character that hasn't changed or learned any lesson.
I think Shoko's mother slapped Shoya's mother really hard that it was enough for her earring to be ripped off her ear and in some Reddit posts they say that it’s in exchange for Shoko’s hearing aids, an eye for an eye. And also movie recommendation, Maquia: When the promised flower blooms.
The two mums never fought, I can't remember where I read it but Shoya's mum pulled her own earring out as a way to atone for Shoya hurting Shouko's ear.
Nah, Shoya's mother ripped her earring out of her own volition, there's no reason for them to have fought, and it's never suggested that they did. The whole reason they even met was to apologise, and Shoya's mother believed in an eye for an eye way of doing it... or in this case... ear for an ear.
I think it is payback. .....bcs shokos mother had the right to apply the same harm to the child who hurt her daughter like that but instead the pay back was done by his mother . ( eye for an eye )
As someone who was bullied in elementary school and who reunited with my bully a few years after this movie hits home, cause she fr tries everyday to make up for all the trauma and it’s one of the most healing experiences to see a bully grow and make up for their mistakes
Actually when you're asking why Shoya's mom's ear was bleeding it's becuase Shouko's mom had given her the treatment which Shoya gave to Shouko. Shouko's mom ripped Shoya's mom earring off which cost her to bleed. It resembles when Shoya ripped Shouko's hearing aids off her ears. (I HOPE THIS HELP! I CLICKED SO FAST WHEN I SAW THIS. I WAS ONE ONE OF THOSE WHO KEEPS REQUESTING THIS AMAZING MOVIE! LOVE THIS & LOVE YOU RUKIYA! 💓)
oh is that what happened? I took it as his mom was so apologetic, she ripped her earrings off and gave it to Shokos mom as a sort of financial compensation (on top of the money she already gave her)...
I can still vividly remember the punches, the stomps, the taunts, the exclusion, the loneliness I felt being bullied through middle to high school. We remember the good moments but sometimes it's overpowered by the hurtful times. This movie saved my life, I hold it very dear and serves as a therapy for me. My suicidal thoughts were nulled by this beautiful work of art, it's now my favourite movie of all time. Thanks for the amazing reaction
I’m not sure if someone already mentioned this but the part where Shouko confesses to Shoya, the reason he thought she said the moon is because in Japanese moon and love are very similar. Hope that helps and amazing reaction love you ❤️❤️
I'm only like 5 minutes into the video, but I can already tell I'm not prepared to re-watch the ending scene when the X's drop-- I'm getting my own box of kleenex for this 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Hi Rukiya! This is a great movie. As a deaf kid growing up, I faced a lot of bullies, as did Shoko. There's also another hint about Deaf culture: eye contact is a way to connect with others, so if you break eye contact, it's considered rude; this is a nice touch of the main character to finally make eye contact toward the ending.
Silent voice is a really good example to show people that just because someone has a condition of some sort doesn’t make them less human, (sorry if this offends people) but in all seriousness, it holds a deep but powerful message, (I did shed tears tho)
ugh i always cry at the end of this movie even if it's a reaction. as someone who had struggled with crippling social anxiety as a kid and teen, the X's on the face and not being able to hear things around you is a perfect depiction of how it felt for me. although i still have those moments, i'm glad to say the X's are off and i can hear now. also that scene and the ending of Queen Charlotte just break me. thinking about it, i realized that they are both bittersweet scenes with a happy ending. watching something so emotional and depressing and finally getting that relief of happiness is such a rollercoaster.
This movie really hit me personally. I have a hearing loss and while I was never bullied for it, it did cause me a lot of anxiety and made me feel like a freak for needing hearing aids. I obviously don't feel this way now as an adult but I sure did as a kid. I also to this day suffer with extreme social anxiety so that topic also hit me deeply.
I remember watching this in Japanese dub, and was a kid. Now years later, your finally watching it. Looking forward you too watch The Amazing Digital Circus 😉 you go queen 💙✨
A thing many people miss about the blonde girl is in the first choir song… she starts early & smirks when Shoko starts singing early. I think she did it just to then say what she said & “look good.” The manga goes a little more into it. Granted, this is a beautiful adaptation. After reading the manga the animation has LOTS of subtle references to it that just couldn’t all be included in a film. Great reaction. I love that you react to dubbing. Dubs vary in quality, but most nowadays are pretty good.
The anime series A Sign of Affection also centers around a deaf protagonist, but it's a slice-of-life and very wholesome series so it's not likely to ever leave you an emotional wreak unless you're prone to sweetness overload. I recommend the sub though to start so you don't miss what any text says since it tends to be relevant a lot of the time.
The part where Shoya misinterpreted Shoko is a direct translation from the original JP version, where tsuki, "the moon" sounds like suki, which means "i like you" (where like is more like love in a romantic context)
I don't know if someone else already said it first in the comments, but regarding the "moon" part of the dialogue in japanese she says "suki" (i like you) and the pronunciation is similar to the word "tsuki" (moon), so that's why he misunderstood what she said from "love" to "moon", it's a line of dialogue difficult to translate in the same way since it's all based on the pronunciation ^^
wow.. this made me cry a little because of the movie because you cried . 😭 i’ve been through a lot in my life from childhood from being bullied really badly to even being abused (ig it’s abuse) a bit ( mentally, sexually, and emotionally ) to the point where i actually thought of pulling a shoya so many times but this just made me think about everything and yeahhh this really hit me hard .. 😭 anyways enough of me being weird so I LOVE YOU RUKIYA ‼️ 😭😭🫶🏽
I haven’t seen this movie in ages but god the scene where the X’s come off the faces and THAT scene always gets me right in the heart 😢 what a beautiful movie
when i first watched this movie, it wasnt that deep for me. but something happened in my life that affected a lot of people that i loved. it gave me the worst social anxiety and panic attacks i've ever had. after watching this video, i realized how much i relate to shoya's depressive stage. the fear of being around people because i was so afraid that they were talking about me or thst one thing i did wrong. i kept isolating and distancing myself from everyone because of the fear of being judged. but when shoya was finally able to hear and all the x's were finally gone, i remembered how i gave myself a chance to open myself again to others. i have never realized how special and how connected this movie was to me.
I clicked so fast- Only 4 seconds in an im already liking and getting my snacks- 😭 24:52 Also this joke makes more sense in Japanese because Moon “月” Ts-uki, and like ”好き“ Su-ki sound similar so when she said “I like you” it sounded like “I like moon”
Girl I literally feel you on that. I am 27 now and still have problems with loving myself I was bullied so much that we moved three times and the whole time I was quiet and I never said or did anything. I was dealing with trauma from when I was younger by SA from my cousin and so my outlet in life was Disney and always being kind and nice. I have anxiety or diagnosed with it and depression at a young age and it’s been so hard with also I was bullied for my skin (not because I’m black) but I was born with a rare skin birthmark that left spots on my face,my teeth grew in all at once and I was made fun of for that and my weight for being small so yeah…I cried for soka because I saw myself as her and it’s crazy how the little bit of sunshine in this world usually is told to be realistic by people who aren’t happy and that’s not what you should do. Those people who are happy and such usually are the ones suffering the most. So I love that you are kind and caring and I see myself in you as a person. Thank you for reacting and being your authentic sweet self.
I remember watching this for the first time and actually sobbing so much I love rewatching this it's such an amazing story but also so depressing but I loved it SOOOO much😭
I was heavily bullied in middle school, not because I was Deaf but because I have Selective Mutism. I couldn't talk at all, people really hate anyone different from them. Even in highschool I had some people who tried bullying me but I really just shut everything out at that point. I have such a strong connection with Shoya and Shoko it's insane. I can't help but cry everytime I watch this movie, it's beautiful
I've heard it said that throughout the movie Shouko usually signs for "see you later", but at the firework scene when she was leaving before the attempt she signed "goodbye"
This movie was one of the most emotional animes I've watched yet one of the best. I would love to see you react to A Whisker Away; it's such a great anime. Love your content girl ❤
I remember seeing the scene where Shouko attempted to take her own life and just crying. Because it's so well done and I could relate. That movie broke me.
honestly i feel that a person can be judged by how they act in their childhood because them being a bad person in the past often times haunt them in the future. Honestly yes it can seriously and terribly affect someone but it’s good for everyone to grow and forgive and grow and apologize. so i love shoya
I really love this movie. Teaches a lot of things. Facing the things you feel guilty for and also facing the thing one that bullied you. Both amazing lessons for character development and growth. And the theme of depression is huge ofc but running away isn’t a solution if you can’t get through the storm you won’t get to the rainbow with the pot of gold. 🙏
One of my favorite movies to rewatch/ watch others react to. The feels! I share this movie with as many people as I can. I just love it, I even got the manga! Glad you enjoyed the emotional trip. 😅
I'm literally crying😢 and I'm happy that he got happy ending ! Well, I recommend you watching spirited away. It's kinda sad, but i hope you watch spirited away! (Not forcing!!)
I kind of feel how Shoko is feeling, I have a complicated disability and was bullied through out my school years, I may not be deaf but I do feel the pain and struggle whilst being bullied for something like a disability
The reason why she had blood on her ear is because since Shoya made her daughters ear bleed, her mother gave Shoya’s mom pay for it but ripping her earring off.
You should definitely watch A Whisker Away and Wolf Children but also I would recommend Bubble and Belle. They’re like remakes of classic fairytale stories in a way. You should also give Mirai and Ride your wave (this one is a serious tear jerker😭😭) a watch as well.
When I was bullied in primary school, I also kept looking at the ground, not being able to look at people’s faces so this film hits me in a way no other movie has. The Xs on the faces represent social anxiety and feeling like they’re watching and judging you.
There's a running theme throughout the movie of Shouya and Shouko reaching for the other's hand and missing, leading up to the climax when Shouya was able to grab her hand when it mattered most
this movie makes me cry every single time, it’s such a beautiful movie, you should check out grave of the fireflies if you want someone you’ll never recover from, easily one of the saddest movies ever made
Not sure if you’ll be able to see this but I hope you will , I recommend you to watch ‘Miracle in Cell No. 7’ , it’s a korean movie you should definitely try watching it IT SOO GOOD! hope you’ll have the time to watch it :)
One of my favorite anime movies of all time is Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms. Its such a beautiful movie, by the end of it you're gonna want to call your mom lol. Definitely recommend it!
there is a line from spiderman 3, that sticks with me till today, when peter tell his aunt may that he did horrible things, and he doesnt know what to do, and aunt may tell him "you start with the hardest part, you forgive yourself"
I love your videos it makes me feel happy And when I have time off of school I watch you Not actually you but Your videos Not when I have time but every single day When you post a new video I watch it immediately And I cannot imagine something That makes me feel so happy I hope you are having a good night Just wanted to say I love your videos
24:55 the moon and i love you confusiom comes from the pronunciation of tsuki and suki. With her not being able to speak clearly and his inability to feel as if someone could love him. The confusion is perfect.
Amazing reaction Rukiya and very excited that this month you’ll be reaching to 200k subscribers.🎊🎉🥳 Hopefully you react to _Hazbin Hotel, Everything Everywhere All at Once, Robots, Belle_ and the films of Studio Ghibli on the channel along with doing more reaction collabs on this channel or with other users such as Cocoa Couch, Hayley and Stella, Vkunia and Natalie Gold.
@@RukiyaReacts You’re welcome Rukiya you’re literally hands down one of the best, funniest and by far the most friendliest and upbeat reactors right now and we haven’t had that in so many reactors besides Cocoa Couch. On top of that, it’s also surreal that it will be 10 months since you got to 100k subscribers in July of 2023 and now reaching to 200k later this month. Finally another thing that I appreciate from you Rukiya is that you keep us updated via the community page on what’s happening when it comes to upcoming reactions or delayed reactions and with your personal life be it going on Vacation or your job which I enjoy because it keeps us informed with what your doing and what happened to a specific reaction that was set to be uploaded instead of not saying anything like a few other reaction channels (e.g. White Noise Reacts). Thanks for all the hard work you put out and looking forward to the next reactions Rukiya along with a 200k celebration video later this month.🥰😘❤️💙🖤
I'm used to being an observer in these type of situations, and I always felt guilty when I couldn't stand up for what I knew was right. And even if I wasn't necessarily the bully, or the one being bullied, I still felt remorse for what I personally did. I love this movie because it's shows that people aren't "fully good" or "fully bad" and that all of us are imperfect. PS You reacted much differently than I usually see in people, so thank you for that 💖❤💗
It’s okay rukiya I’ve been through the same thing you been through people used to bully me because I was black and they used to say that I don’t take a shower and that’s because I’m black. But it’s okay you just have to believe in yourself and don’t listen to what others say about you and just continue life😊😊😊❤❤❤
Reason why Rukiya is my favorite reacter. 1: she’s pretty. 2: she actually “reacts” unlike some other who just stay still. 3: she’s funny. Btw Day 7 of asking Rukiya to react to Slumberland!❤❤❤
As someone who has experienced bullying due to my voice and speech impediment, I can relate to the challenges that this movie has. Throughout my childhood and into high school, I faced a barrage of hurtful comments and verbal abuse. While I didn’t endure physical attacks, the emotional toll of being constantly mocked and belittled took a significant toll on my self-esteem and mental. I remember hearing things that would cut deeply, and though some might think that verbal bullying isn’t as serious, the impact it had on me was bad. It began in elementary school, where my classmates would laugh or imitate the way I spoke, and that pattern continued through middle school and high school. Then get comments of I belong in the "Special ed classes, and also to Keep Myself safe. Despite my efforts to improve my speech, the taunts never seemed to fade away, in person or online. (its starting to slow down). Even now, as I navigate my 2nd year in HS and college, I still encounter moments where I’m ridiculed for the way I express myself. It’s disheartening to think that after all these years, some people still find it amusing to mock someone for something they cannot control. Each experience has shaped my resilience, but it also serves as a reminder of how important it is to foster kindness and understanding towards others, especially those facing similar struggles. I can really relate to this movie and which it did make me cry. I also wished at my age I saw this in the movies. I'm reading the manga and its VERY different than the movie/manga. I do semi have social anxiety its just that I feel that people don't want to be friends with be for what is above. HAHAHA I LOVE THIS MOVIE SO MUCH
I am not kidding when i say this movie DESTROYED ME- Everytime the pink haired deaf girl said "Im sorry" i would just burst out in tears, close my laptop, and cry for a few minutes. When she said, "I hate myself," i just sat there, sobbing. This is a reminder to everyone that you are loved, you are seen, and there will be people out there to love and cherish you. You may feel helpless in the moment, but keep moving, and one day, you'll find your people. Stay safe everyone
When I watched this the first time when I was in highschool, I cried so hard too but I couldn't explain why. Watching this with your reaction made me feel like I had company. For me, I think I can put what I felt when I watched the movie into words already :)) I think the movie focuses more on like forgiving yourself for all those bad things you did in the past, I cried because I felt the same way, but I'm glad that I'm slowly forgiving myself now. The × marks on the people's faces for me are like shoyo's trust issues since he's used to being back stabbed or being talked behind his back, it's like he developed trust issues where he thinks everyone around him is always talking bad about him. But yes, for anyone struggling to forgive yourselves, it's okay, you're not alone, and it is a process, so it may take long. As long as you accept your mistakes and learn from and really apply what you learned in your life, everything follows.
I used to be bullied starting in elementary to the point where I shut myself out and nearly gave up on singing, almost destroying my voice which never sounded like it used to (due to depression and my voice being one of the points in my bullying). I used to hate my bullies but realized everyone does things for a reason after being with real friends who were there for me. A few months ago while me and a friend were drinking, one of my bullies were there and while we were on the subject of depression he opened up to me about what he'd been going through and we actually bonded through it a bit (not to the point where we became close friends but like "if you need someone to drink with, I'm here" type of friends) and he apologized to me saying he regrets it cuz what he's going through now must be what they've put me through. I hope he gets better because no one deserves to go through that, we were kids easily pressured by our environment and we do stupid sht for the sake of laughs and fitting in and bless him for apologizing and seeing a glimpse of what I had been through but in the end not everyone really deserves to carry that guilt and pain their whole life and letting it control them. Also Naoka isn't as bad in my eyes, she was one of the first people to reach out to Shoko and even volunteered to learn sign language when they were kids, but kids being kids and unconsciously trying to fit in and go with the crowd and her own life being messed up that she had to be strong to the point she hated people who pity themselves cuz maybe she saw her own weak past. So she laughed with the bullies and made bad decisions. The blond girl is really annoying tho, since she never faced consequences.
Some people might criticize me for watching this movie dubbed, so I want to address it beforehand. I've heard that the English dub voice actress for Shoko, Lexi Marman, is deaf in real life. For me, watching the scenes where Shoko struggled to speak due to her speech impediment felt like a more authentic experience. Additionally, I filmed this reaction at 1 am (which is why I am wearing my pyjamas, lol) and was too tired to read subtitles.
I wish those in the anime community who criticize others for watching subbed or dubbed would stop. Neither is the "right way" to watch anime; it's just a matter of personal preference.
I hope y’all enjoy the video and check out the video sponsor Dossier!💖 dossier.co

Well yes she is annoying, but when its clearly a mob mentality in that school,
would you want to be the one to speak up?
Sara tried to be friends with shoko and she was bullies so hard she left, its just like mean girls,
its safer to be with her than against her *her being ueno*
I was bullied my whole life, i never expected anyone to put themselves on the line for me. Blame the teacher , the adult who knew and did nothing not the little girl :/
She was kid, not everyone is strong enough to stand up
(Not cool that she denied luaghing tho)
Right ? At least Ueko wasn’t Faking, she knows where she stands. The blonde girl personality was the most problematic In my Opinion cause till the end she never admitted being part of all this. She was so Manipulative. Gaslighting so much that she even gaslighted Herself.
I was more ok with them being friends with Ueko cause we slowly see a change in her. But the blonde girl ? Personally I would never trust someone like this. When times get hard again she just gonna throw you under the bus and place herself as the victim.
« No don’t do that » With a Smile on her Face. « I BEG him to stop, I was Scared of him ».. 💀
@@Thebeezzkneezz. the point is that she denied everything
@@Thebeezzkneezz. she (blonde girl) did more than just that. she intentionally made mouth movements knowing shoko would look to her for the choir so that shoko would sing before everyone else to make herself look good to others when she acts nice to shoko. in the manga shes way worse as well
As a deaf person who was constantly bullied from preschool through college, I would never give my hearing aids or my cochlear implants to ANYONE because I knew they wouldn't take care of them. Hearing aids are $4,000 to $10,000 a pop (PER AID), and cochlear implants (without the surgery) are $30,000 each (because insurance won't cover them), and I would totally charge someone for property theft and damage if anything happened to my devices
You deserve so much better, so sorry to hear that

YESS! the teachers create such a toxic environment from literally the FIRST SCENE SHES INTRODUCED. the kids were mean, but honestly i don't expect much else when the teachers are forcing shoko to rely only on other students for accomodation, without even really considering the other kid's needs. its a breeding ground for resentment, and children at that age don't handle strong feelings like that very well
@@m1sslunatic803 For real, fuck that teacher.
This movie is so special because where other movies would take the route of villanizing the bully and saying there's nothing good to him, they show that he's a person just as much as the victim. He's not necessarily a bad person, he just made bad decisions.
I also like the inclusion of Ueno because it shows that while some people can change, others can't.
As someone whose brother has suicidal idealization due to social anxiety and bullying the character of Shoya made me bawl out for an hour and a half, I'm so glad my little brother has me so he can count on me whenever it troubles him
I wish I had a elder sister
Praying for all the best for him and you❤ ur an amazing sister❤
@@MissoddessyYou're not alone❤ God is always here for us and there are so much people who love you❤
@@julesoxana Well I'm not a sister.. Not a brother either tho you couldn't really have known, thx for the prayers I'm an atheist but it's the thought that matters
ur making me cry again istg
When shoko tried to confess her feelings “The moon is beautiful, isn't it?” could mean “I love you” in Japanese. It can be used to express romantic feelings indirectly,
Nah. In the Japanese she says "I love you" or "suki" which he misunderstands as "the moon?", "tsuki." She's being direct.
that is a common word play in japanese, but its kind of based on the fact that tsuki and suki sound quite alike (like prev commenter said) and with shoko's difficulty with pronunciation, it would be very easy to misinterpret what she said.
One of the few legit reasons in defense of the subbed. Picked it up immediately in subbed. Came off confusing in dub.
@@Sandwhaler There's a semi infamous example of Japanese Author Souseki Natsume choosing to use the phrase "The moon is beautiful isn't it?" in the place of "I love you" when translating from English to Japanese. He almost certainly chose to use a reference to the moon because of the wordplay between Suki (Love) and Tsuki (moon).
I don't usually cry watching movies, but with this I was an entire ocean 😭
I KNOW RIGHT!? i was watching this at 1:00 am for the first time and started crying so much !
I can’t trust anyone who doesn’t cry while watching this movie! I was even getting teary-eyed while editing this video😭💙
😭
Same😭
@@RukiyaReacts sorry to break it to ya man there are many guys who can watch this and not cry
3:39 She was mouthing the words on purpose so Shoko would get it wrong. I hate this character because she may have apologized but she never admitted to straight up bullying like the others.
True,That.... Biyatch wasn't helping her.
If any of you have read the Manga, you will know how miserable & effed up she is.. Just want attention from everyone.
If u hv read the Manga, you know how miserable she is.... 😂
When I tell you my jaw dropped when I dropped when I read this!?! I watched this movie so many times and never realized that
I’m petty asf bro… it’s been so long and I hate her still 😭
She was so much worse in the manga. I guess they cut it out because they didn't have much time to put it into the movie but it was very clear she was a narcissist. Also, the scene after Shoko's attempt in which she 'confronted her' was even worse too...she managed to make it all about herself. I really don't remember much from it since I read it a long time ago, but that much I did.
3:38 Is one of the details many people don't notice. The blond girl pretends to start singing, Shoko watches her and starts singing herself. The girl literally sabotaged her. She was also one of the kids who bullied her, but unlike Shoya who admits to it, she pretends to be an innocent lamb. She even had you fooled 😅3:56
29:53 bruh shes such a manipulative b "I never did anything to heeeeer I was hurt toooooo 🥺" ugh I hate rer so much they should've cut contact with her. She's the only character that hasn't changed or learned any lesson.
A SILENT VOICE IS MY FAVOURITE MOVIE AHHHH 😭😭😭
I see why it is! It's such a good movie.✨ I think I'm going to start reading the manga

I think Shoko's mother slapped Shoya's mother really hard that it was enough for her earring to be ripped off her ear and in some Reddit posts they say that it’s in exchange for Shoko’s hearing aids, an eye for an eye. And also movie recommendation, Maquia: When the promised flower blooms.
YES MAQUIA
The two mums never fought, I can't remember where I read it but Shoya's mum pulled her own earring out as a way to atone for Shoya hurting Shouko's ear.
Nah, Shoya's mother ripped her earring out of her own volition, there's no reason for them to have fought, and it's never suggested that they did.
The whole reason they even met was to apologise, and Shoya's mother believed in an eye for an eye way of doing it... or in this case... ear for an ear.
I think it is payback. .....bcs shokos mother had the right to apply the same harm to the child who hurt her daughter like that but instead the pay back was done by his mother . ( eye for an eye )
As someone who was bullied in elementary school and who reunited with my bully a few years after this movie hits home, cause she fr tries everyday to make up for all the trauma and it’s one of the most healing experiences to see a bully grow and make up for their mistakes
YES 100%
A silent voice literally breaks my heart every time i watch it , Im so happy you reacted to it
Actually when you're asking why Shoya's mom's ear was bleeding it's becuase Shouko's mom had given her the treatment which Shoya gave to Shouko. Shouko's mom ripped Shoya's mom earring off which cost her to bleed. It resembles when Shoya ripped Shouko's hearing aids off her ears.
(I HOPE THIS HELP! I CLICKED SO FAST WHEN I SAW THIS. I WAS ONE ONE OF THOSE WHO KEEPS REQUESTING THIS AMAZING MOVIE! LOVE THIS & LOVE YOU RUKIYA! 💓)
oh is that what happened?
I took it as his mom was so apologetic, she ripped her earrings off and gave it to Shokos mom as a sort of financial compensation (on top of the money she already gave her)...
@@captaind8728 I seconddd
@@captaind8728 That’s actually true the og comment is what most people think but I like both
I can still vividly remember the punches, the stomps, the taunts, the exclusion, the loneliness I felt being bullied through middle to high school. We remember the good moments but sometimes it's overpowered by the hurtful times. This movie saved my life, I hold it very dear and serves as a therapy for me. My suicidal thoughts were nulled by this beautiful work of art, it's now my favourite movie of all time. Thanks for the amazing reaction
I’m not sure if someone already mentioned this but the part where Shouko confesses to Shoya, the reason he thought she said the moon is because in Japanese moon and love are very similar. Hope that helps and amazing reaction love you ❤️❤️
I'm only like 5 minutes into the video, but I can already tell I'm not prepared to re-watch the ending scene when the X's drop-- I'm getting my own box of kleenex for this 🙏🏻🙏🏻
@sippingteayuh im such a fan. Love your videos
Give me some too 😭
righhttt.. 😭
Hii im a fann girl❤❤
SIPPING TEA IS HEREEE 🍵✨
Hi Rukiya! This is a great movie. As a deaf kid growing up, I faced a lot of bullies, as did Shoko. There's also another hint about Deaf culture: eye contact is a way to connect with others, so if you break eye contact, it's considered rude; this is a nice touch of the main character to finally make eye contact toward the ending.
Silent voice is a really good example to show people that just because someone has a condition of some sort doesn’t make them less human, (sorry if this offends people) but in all seriousness, it holds a deep but powerful message, (I did shed tears tho)
ugh i always cry at the end of this movie even if it's a reaction. as someone who had struggled with crippling social anxiety as a kid and teen, the X's on the face and not being able to hear things around you is a perfect depiction of how it felt for me. although i still have those moments, i'm glad to say the X's are off and i can hear now.
also that scene and the ending of Queen Charlotte just break me. thinking about it, i realized that they are both bittersweet scenes with a happy ending. watching something so emotional and depressing and finally getting that relief of happiness is such a rollercoaster.
as someone who has watched this anime multiple times i still cry every time , it means so much to me and i really enjoyed ur reaction.
This movie really hit me personally. I have a hearing loss and while I was never bullied for it, it did cause me a lot of anxiety and made me feel like a freak for needing hearing aids. I obviously don't feel this way now as an adult but I sure did as a kid. I also to this day suffer with extreme social anxiety so that topic also hit me deeply.
I’m so sorry, but don’t worry you’ll be ok❤
I remember watching this in Japanese dub, and was a kid. Now years later, your finally watching it. Looking forward you too watch The Amazing Digital Circus 😉 you go queen 💙✨
A thing many people miss about the blonde girl is in the first choir song… she starts early & smirks when Shoko starts singing early. I think she did it just to then say what she said & “look good.” The manga goes a little more into it. Granted, this is a beautiful adaptation. After reading the manga the animation has LOTS of subtle references to it that just couldn’t all be included in a film.
Great reaction. I love that you react to dubbing. Dubs vary in quality, but most nowadays are pretty good.
The anime series A Sign of Affection also centers around a deaf protagonist, but it's a slice-of-life and very wholesome series so it's not likely to ever leave you an emotional wreak unless you're prone to sweetness overload.
I recommend the sub though to start so you don't miss what any text says since it tends to be relevant a lot of the time.
The part where Shoya misinterpreted Shoko is a direct translation from the original JP version, where tsuki, "the moon" sounds like suki, which means "i like you" (where like is more like love in a romantic context)
1 min!! totally recommend A Whisker Away next! it may not be as sad as these but it’s still REALLY good ❤❤
Yass it is so good!!!
It’s on my list of anime’s to react to!😁🩷
@@RukiyaReactscan you react to terror in resonence its not a movie but it has 11 episodes i hope you react and enyoj it 😊😊😊
I don't know if someone else already said it first in the comments, but regarding the "moon" part of the dialogue in japanese she says "suki" (i like you) and the pronunciation is similar to the word "tsuki" (moon), so that's why he misunderstood what she said from "love" to "moon", it's a line of dialogue difficult to translate in the same way since it's all based on the pronunciation ^^
miki and ueno actually pissed me off so much during that one scene when shoko transferred schools. they literally just blamed it on shoya
植野はいい子ですよ
9:59 shouko's mom probably snatched her earring off in anger for her daughter's bullying :(
I SCREAMED AND CLICKED AS FAST AS I COULD!! This is my favorite anime film ever! Can’t wait to watch it and cry again 😭❤️
wow.. this made me cry a little because of the movie because you cried . 😭 i’ve been through a lot in my life from childhood from being bullied really badly to even being abused (ig it’s abuse) a bit ( mentally, sexually, and emotionally ) to the point where i actually thought of pulling a shoya so many times but this just made me think about everything and yeahhh this really hit me hard .. 😭 anyways enough of me being weird so I LOVE YOU RUKIYA ‼️ 😭😭🫶🏽
I haven’t seen this movie in ages but god the scene where the X’s come off the faces and THAT scene always gets me right in the heart 😢 what a beautiful movie
This story to me perfectly portrayed the experience of bullying through the bully themselves eyes and how many times those who bully are the bullied
when i first watched this movie, it wasnt that deep for me. but something happened in my life that affected a lot of people that i loved. it gave me the worst social anxiety and panic attacks i've ever had. after watching this video, i realized how much i relate to shoya's depressive stage. the fear of being around people because i was so afraid that they were talking about me or thst one thing i did wrong. i kept isolating and distancing myself from everyone because of the fear of being judged.
but when shoya was finally able to hear and all the x's were finally gone, i remembered how i gave myself a chance to open myself again to others. i have never realized how special and how connected this movie was to me.
I clicked so fast- Only 4 seconds in an im already liking and getting my snacks- 😭
24:52 Also this joke makes more sense in Japanese because Moon “月” Ts-uki, and like ”好き“ Su-ki sound similar so when she said “I like you” it sounded like “I like moon”
I highly recommend Maquia: when the promised flower blooms, ride your wave & her blue sky! All of these are tear jerkers but super good.
Kindness, compassion and empathy are everything 🙏
Girl I literally feel you on that. I am 27 now and still have problems with loving myself I was bullied so much that we moved three times and the whole time I was quiet and I never said or did anything. I was dealing with trauma from when I was younger by SA from my cousin and so my outlet in life was Disney and always being kind and nice. I have anxiety or diagnosed with it and depression at a young age and it’s been so hard with also I was bullied for my skin (not because I’m black) but I was born with a rare skin birthmark that left spots on my face,my teeth grew in all at once and I was made fun of for that and my weight for being small so yeah…I cried for soka because I saw myself as her and it’s crazy how the little bit of sunshine in this world usually is told to be realistic by people who aren’t happy and that’s not what you should do. Those people who are happy and such usually are the ones suffering the most. So I love that you are kind and caring and I see myself in you as a person. Thank you for reacting and being your authentic sweet self.
This movie had me bawling my eyes out, but nonethless, I consider it one of my favorite movies ever! So glad you decided to watch it!
I remember watching this for the first time and actually sobbing so much I love rewatching this it's such an amazing story but also so depressing but I loved it SOOOO much😭
“Weathering with you” is also a really good one! It’s the same director of the film “your name”
I like to think those elementary school kids aren't out here getting sponsors and ad revenue 💅🏻💅🏾
Keep queening ‼️
I was heavily bullied in middle school, not because I was Deaf but because I have Selective Mutism. I couldn't talk at all, people really hate anyone different from them. Even in highschool I had some people who tried bullying me but I really just shut everything out at that point. I have such a strong connection with Shoya and Shoko it's insane. I can't help but cry everytime I watch this movie, it's beautiful
I haven’t seen this movie since it came out and rewatching made me cry like I did back then
It’s such a beautiful emotional rollercoaster ride
I've heard it said that throughout the movie Shouko usually signs for "see you later", but at the firework scene when she was leaving before the attempt she signed "goodbye"
This movie was one of the most emotional animes I've watched yet one of the best. I would love to see you react to A Whisker Away; it's such a great anime. Love your content girl ❤
I remember seeing the scene where Shouko attempted to take her own life and just crying. Because it's so well done and I could relate. That movie broke me.
A whisker away is so good I remember watching it came out!
honestly i feel that a person can be judged by how they act in their childhood because them being a bad person in the past often times haunt them in the future. Honestly yes it can seriously and terribly affect someone but it’s good for everyone to grow and forgive and grow and apologize. so i love shoya
I really love this movie. Teaches a lot of things. Facing the things you feel guilty for and also facing the thing one that bullied you. Both amazing lessons for character development and growth. And the theme of depression is huge ofc but running away isn’t a solution if you can’t get through the storm you won’t get to the rainbow with the pot of gold. 🙏
RUKIYA YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW LONG I'VE WANTED TO WATCH THIS AND OMG I FINALLY DID YESTERDAY BEFORE YOU POSTED THIS
I recommend watching Wolf children , it was my first anime and it ruined me as a child , I love it so much
Im crying, this film is so relatable 😭😭 im a mess right now, jesus christ i love and hate this film
One of my favorite movies to rewatch/ watch others react to. The feels! I share this movie with as many people as I can. I just love it, I even got the manga! Glad you enjoyed the emotional trip. 😅
WOLD CHILDREN MENTIONED!! It's one of my favorite movies of all time and one of my favorite anime movies along side with A silent Voice.
I'm literally crying😢 and I'm happy that he got happy ending ! Well, I recommend you watching spirited away. It's kinda sad, but i hope you watch spirited away! (Not forcing!!)
I love ruykia because she is one of those UA-camrs that actually read comments
I kind of feel how Shoko is feeling, I have a complicated disability and was bullied through out my school years, I may not be deaf but I do feel the pain and struggle whilst being bullied for something like a disability
The reason why she had blood on her ear is because since Shoya made her daughters ear bleed, her mother gave Shoya’s mom pay for it but ripping her earring off.
You should definitely watch A Whisker Away and Wolf Children but also I would recommend Bubble and Belle. They’re like remakes of classic fairytale stories in a way. You should also give Mirai and Ride your wave (this one is a serious tear jerker😭😭) a watch as well.
When I was bullied in primary school, I also kept looking at the ground, not being able to look at people’s faces so this film hits me in a way no other movie has. The Xs on the faces represent social anxiety and feeling like they’re watching and judging you.
No matter how many times I watch this anime, I cry every time.
There's a running theme throughout the movie of Shouya and Shouko reaching for the other's hand and missing, leading up to the climax when Shouya was able to grab her hand when it mattered most
this movie makes me cry every single time, it’s such a beautiful movie, you should check out grave of the fireflies if you want someone you’ll never recover from, easily one of the saddest movies ever made
Not sure if you’ll be able to see this but I hope you will , I recommend you to watch ‘Miracle in Cell No. 7’ , it’s a korean movie you should definitely try watching it IT SOO GOOD! hope you’ll have the time to watch it :)
I will check it out❤️
Just wanted to explain the moon part. In Japanese “suki” means “I like/love (you),” and “tsuki” means “moon.”
One of my favorite anime movies of all time is Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms. Its such a beautiful movie, by the end of it you're gonna want to call your mom lol. Definitely recommend it!
41:40 it was amazing I also cried in the movie
OMY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD THSI IS THE BEST THING A SILENT VOICE IS MY FAVORITE MOVIE I LOVE THIS SM
Omg! I’m SO glad you’re back! I’ve miss your videos so much! When your on vacation I rewatch all of your videos from Encanto to trolls band!
Tysm for reacting to A Silent Voice, Rukiya. I enjoy rewatching my favorite movies with you
there is a line from spiderman 3, that sticks with me till today, when peter tell his aunt may that he did horrible things, and he doesnt know what to do, and aunt may tell him "you start with the hardest part, you forgive yourself"
I love your videos it makes me feel happy And when I have time off of school I watch you Not actually you but Your videos Not when I have time but every single day When you post a new video I watch it immediately And I cannot imagine something That makes me feel so happy I hope you are having a good night Just wanted to say I love your videos
When i first watched this movie i Loved every bit of it! I cried,i smiled,i laughed.this movie was an amazing rollercoaster
I have never watched this but im here watching it 100% no prepared with you yay..... (I cried)
24:55 the moon and i love you confusiom comes from the pronunciation of tsuki and suki. With her not being able to speak clearly and his inability to feel as if someone could love him. The confusion is perfect.
Amazing reaction Rukiya and very excited that this month you’ll be reaching to 200k subscribers.🎊🎉🥳
Hopefully you react to _Hazbin Hotel, Everything Everywhere All at Once, Robots, Belle_ and the films of Studio Ghibli on the channel along with doing more reaction collabs on this channel or with other users such as Cocoa Couch, Hayley and Stella, Vkunia and Natalie Gold.
Thank you so much!🥰❤️
@@RukiyaReacts You’re welcome Rukiya you’re literally hands down one of the best, funniest and by far the most friendliest and upbeat reactors right now and we haven’t had that in so many reactors besides Cocoa Couch.
On top of that, it’s also surreal that it will be 10 months since you got to 100k subscribers in July of 2023 and now reaching to 200k later this month.
Finally another thing that I appreciate from you Rukiya is that you keep us updated via the community page on what’s happening when it comes to upcoming reactions or delayed reactions and with your personal life be it going on Vacation or your job which I enjoy because it keeps us informed with what your doing and what happened to a specific reaction that was set to be uploaded instead of not saying anything like a few other reaction channels (e.g. White Noise Reacts).
Thanks for all the hard work you put out and looking forward to the next reactions Rukiya along with a 200k celebration video later this month.🥰😘❤️💙🖤
I'm used to being an observer in these type of situations, and I always felt guilty when I couldn't stand up for what I knew was right. And even if I wasn't necessarily the bully, or the one being bullied, I still felt remorse for what I personally did. I love this movie because it's shows that people aren't "fully good" or "fully bad" and that all of us are imperfect.
PS You reacted much differently than I usually see in people, so thank you for that 💖❤💗
It’s okay rukiya I’ve been through the same thing you been through people used to bully me because I was black and they used to say that I don’t take a shower and that’s because I’m black. But it’s okay you just have to believe in yourself and don’t listen to what others say about you and just continue life😊😊😊❤❤❤
9:55 Since Shoya ripped Shoko’s hearing aid out, Shoko’s mom ripped Shoya’s mom’s earring out as a “payback.”
I have seen this, it’s so sad it made me cry😖
Yup! I cried A LOT in this video 😭😭😭
Reason why Rukiya is my favorite reacter. 1: she’s pretty. 2: she actually “reacts” unlike some other who just stay still. 3: she’s funny. Btw Day 7 of asking Rukiya to react to Slumberland!❤❤❤
I LOVE CATS!!! 😻 I’m already tearing up had to pause some due to the bullies.
As someone who has experienced bullying due to my voice and speech impediment, I can relate to the challenges that this movie has. Throughout my childhood and into high school, I faced a barrage of hurtful comments and verbal abuse. While I didn’t endure physical attacks, the emotional toll of being constantly mocked and belittled took a significant toll on my self-esteem and mental. I remember hearing things that would cut deeply, and though some might think that verbal bullying isn’t as serious, the impact it had on me was bad. It began in elementary school, where my classmates would laugh or imitate the way I spoke, and that pattern continued through middle school and high school. Then get comments of I belong in the "Special ed classes, and also to Keep Myself safe. Despite my efforts to improve my speech, the taunts never seemed to fade away, in person or online. (its starting to slow down). Even now, as I navigate my 2nd year in HS and college, I still encounter moments where I’m ridiculed for the way I express myself. It’s disheartening to think that after all these years, some people still find it amusing to mock someone for something they cannot control. Each experience has shaped my resilience, but it also serves as a reminder of how important it is to foster kindness and understanding towards others, especially those facing similar struggles. I can really relate to this movie and which it did make me cry. I also wished at my age I saw this in the movies. I'm reading the manga and its VERY different than the movie/manga. I do semi have social anxiety its just that I feel that people don't want to be friends with be for what is above. HAHAHA I LOVE THIS MOVIE SO MUCH
I really think you’ll like words bubble up like soda pop and a whisker away they are great movies and romantic killer is a great show too❤
This is one of my top 3 anime’s. It’s so moving and I always enjoy a bitter sweet movie 💕
OMG A SILENT VOICE IS MU FAV ANIME MOVIE!!!
I am not kidding when i say this movie DESTROYED ME-
Everytime the pink haired deaf girl said "Im sorry" i would just burst out in tears, close my laptop, and cry for a few minutes. When she said, "I hate myself," i just sat there, sobbing. This is a reminder to everyone that you are loved, you are seen, and there will be people out there to love and cherish you. You may feel helpless in the moment, but keep moving, and one day, you'll find your people. Stay safe everyone
This was a pleasant surprise, Rukiya! You watching my fave movie??? Love it 😭 And I'm glad you did too
When I watched this the first time when I was in highschool, I cried so hard too but I couldn't explain why. Watching this with your reaction made me feel like I had company. For me, I think I can put what I felt when I watched the movie into words already :)) I think the movie focuses more on like forgiving yourself for all those bad things you did in the past, I cried because I felt the same way, but I'm glad that I'm slowly forgiving myself now. The × marks on the people's faces for me are like shoyo's trust issues since he's used to being back stabbed or being talked behind his back, it's like he developed trust issues where he thinks everyone around him is always talking bad about him. But yes, for anyone struggling to forgive yourselves, it's okay, you're not alone, and it is a process, so it may take long. As long as you accept your mistakes and learn from and really apply what you learned in your life, everything follows.
A Silent Voice is my literelly fav anime and this vid make me happy ty for reacted the silent voice❤
This film addresses such important topics, more people should watch it ! Thank you for your video !
Fun fact my birthday is june 7th. It's not a very common birthday, especially on anime or movies, so im so glad it was shown in here
I used to be bullied starting in elementary to the point where I shut myself out and nearly gave up on singing, almost destroying my voice which never sounded like it used to (due to depression and my voice being one of the points in my bullying). I used to hate my bullies but realized everyone does things for a reason after being with real friends who were there for me.
A few months ago while me and a friend were drinking, one of my bullies were there and while we were on the subject of depression he opened up to me about what he'd been going through and we actually bonded through it a bit (not to the point where we became close friends but like "if you need someone to drink with, I'm here" type of friends) and he apologized to me saying he regrets it cuz what he's going through now must be what they've put me through. I hope he gets better because no one deserves to go through that, we were kids easily pressured by our environment and we do stupid sht for the sake of laughs and fitting in and bless him for apologizing and seeing a glimpse of what I had been through but in the end not everyone really deserves to carry that guilt and pain their whole life and letting it control them.
Also Naoka isn't as bad in my eyes, she was one of the first people to reach out to Shoko and even volunteered to learn sign language when they were kids, but kids being kids and unconsciously trying to fit in and go with the crowd and her own life being messed up that she had to be strong to the point she hated people who pity themselves cuz maybe she saw her own weak past. So she laughed with the bullies and made bad decisions. The blond girl is really annoying tho, since she never faced consequences.
This anime was soooooo good
the last scene always get me in tears when he finally opens to the world
I'm crying here too
