voir au futur
I did like how they gave Nina's story ample time, but she didn't really provide any material as far as character development later on. Also, they didn't need to (try to) bring her back. They really didn't.
Enjoyment: 7/10
The first time I
finished the show I liked it, but the more I watched it, the more problems I noticed with it. That being said, every time I've
seen the show, I've finished it fairly quickly, and without skipping
episodes (except sometimes the very boring fillers. But the latest time I rewatched it, it was with a friend who hadn't seen it yet, so we didn't skip episodes even though I'd tell her which episodes were boring and pointless).
Some of the episodes were downright painful to get through, and the anime only really picked up its pacing at the very end. However, some episodes (13 and 37) were really funny and I always enjoy watching them when I rewatch the show. Some of the ending stuff is exciting, but the whole show is a drag by comparison. It's not worth
struggling through the boringness to get to the ending which is full of holes anyway.
Overall: 6/10
I think this anime is seriously overrated and a lot of the nostalgic babies that give this show high scores need to get their heads out of the sand and notice the glaring issues.

Characters[edit] Shoya Ishida (石田 将也, Ishida Shōya) The main character and narrator. In elementary school, he leads his class in bullying
Shoko for her deafness. When the bullying gets the attention of higher school authorities, the class turns Shoya into a scapegoat so they will not have to also take responsibility. As a result, he becomes
ostracized and bullied by his former friends. Shoya starts to ignore those around him (imagining them with a large blue X across their face). Upon meeting her in high school, he eventually apologizes to Shoko, becoming fluent in sign language specifically to do so, and begins to spend time with her.
