Red: Holy hell these kids are needlessly cruel. If there was a movie that pulled at your heart and made you want to go and strangle almost every single character, this is it. This is childhood cruelty unashamedly turned up to max. Once the childhood awfulness is passed by, we go on a journey of reformation rudely interrupted with near suicide caused by the characters failing to properly converse their feelings to each repeatedly in the most frustrating fahsion. Not perfect, but every character coming to terms with each other by the end was pretty great as well as the world opening back up for our main former jerk. Not only did this movie begin with and at multiple other times also attempt to crush my soul, everyone (somewhat) enjoying themselves at an amusement park when me, a person that loves theme parks and such, is stuck at home felt like a further knife to the gut. No impact on my ranking, just a reminder the world sucks while watching a movie about how horrible kids can be.

Charon: A cute love story between a bully and his former victim, with slices of intense and serious drama interwoven. I have to say the subject matter this film deals with is of the upmost seriousness and it handles it with a cast far, far, FAR more likable than a film that deals with a similar concept that's also on this list. I'll be floored if this isn't the preferred of the films, by the way. Though there are some characters I didn't care for much at all, this film was so well directed and written that it was able to capture my heart despite having some detestable participants to the story, which is somewhat rare for me since my enjoyment of a film largely hinges upon the cast. The main characters are so good though. I feel I could watch this again and again.

Johnbobb: FUCK YOU KARO. WHAT THE FUCK. WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU MAKE US WATCH THIS. GODDAMNIT.

Jona: The beginning does a great job at making you feel bad for Shoko and then Shouya. Shouyas quest for friendships, both old and new is quite the emotional journey. It feels hard for me to describe my liking of this movie other than that it succeeds at making me invested and emotional. I do have some complaints though. Shoko never really feels defined as a character if you separate her from her deafness. The movie ends at an awkward place but its understandable since the manga continues from there. Gotta wait until A Silent Voice 2: Silence Harder.
