Each month, Panels in Motion talks about a non-superhero comic book that was adapted into a movie. Whether it's old or new, American or international, the hosts seek to answer the questions: What makes a good adaptation? What's the difference between comics and film? And who in their right mind approved some of these decisions??
Things get dramatic as the hosts cover the 7-volume "A Silent Voice" manga by Yoshitoki Oima and its 2014 anime movie adaptation. Serious discussions of bullying, disability, and suicide occur as Andre discovers a love for manga, Luke wonders how an anime could betray him so badly, and Nick embraces his flawed humanity a little too much. Plus: the hosts finally agree on something??
Next Month: “Kingsman: The Secret Service” comic by Mark Millar and Dave Gibbons + Kingsman: The Secret Service (2014) movie.
