About the Film

A Silent Voice: The Movie is a 2016 Japanese animated drama directed by Naoko Yamada, based on Yoshitoki Oima's manga. The film follows Shoya Ishida, a former elementary school bully who tormented Shoko Nishimiya, a deaf transfer student, to the point that she transferred schools — and subsequently experienced the same social rejection from his classmates that he had inflicted on Shoko. Years later, as a suicidal high school student consumed by guilt, Shoya seeks out the now-teenage Shoko to apologize and make amends, and their renewed relationship becomes a journey of mutual healing.

A Silent Voice addressed bullying, disability, social isolation, depression, and suicide with extraordinary emotional maturity and visual sophistication — Kyoto Animation's production quality was stunning, with Shoya's social anxiety visualized through X-marks covering the faces of people he can't bring himself to look at. The film earned $33 million worldwide and is considered one of the finest animated dramas of the decade.
