Was it kino?

>Yamada: Rather [than worry] I thought I was lucky. The art of animation, if you want to call it that, is great in how it allows us to describe what is actually not there; if there’s no sound, I can express the lack of it through color, vibration, the drawings themselves… So I felt I was really lucky to be able to do this.
>Yamada: Of course, I thought about that. We experience this story from Shouya’s POV and obviously he can hear, but he tries not to listen to people. I think that while they’re very different people, Shouko and him share many traits. She who can’t hear and him who won’t listen are fundamentally different yet very similar.
>Yamada: Hmm, abstract. A world where one word is attached to one meaning isn’t what I want to create. Take “love” – there’s not just one significance, I want a world where that love can be expressed in many ways so that the feelings reach the audience.
>Yamada: Yeah I do look at my characters like people. They’re not drawings but living beings, that is why I’m interested in them to begin with.
