The movie chronicles the emotional, social, and spiritual attributes that are manifested by a group of adolescent schoolmates in elementary school, especially as to how they relate to a hearing impaired girl that is introduced into their group. Each teen reacts to the newcomer in a different way, including many varied and negative reactions and outcomes. Shōya Ishida, a former delinquent bullies the deaf girl, Shōko Nishimiya, with his friends joining in. Finally, when Shōko is forced to transfer to another school after enduring a period of the most cruel bullying, all of Ishida's friends, as well as the teachers, blame him for bullying her into leaving. He is made the scapegoat, despite the varying levels of culpability that others have had in torturing her. This results in Ishida himself being bullied and ostracized well into high school. He comes to the conclusion that there is really no point in having friends. Having no plans for the future, Ishida even attempts suicide. But with redemption being offered, he learns sign language and unexpectedly reunites and befriends Shōko, who is still very lonely due to her hearing impairment and extreme shyness. By then, Shōko herself is contemplating suicide due to her own social and emotional problems. Presenting teenage companionship and social relationships in a frightening, yet compelling way, it is a movie showing the many facets of teenage friendship, pride, betrayal, ostracism, redemption, and genuine love.

Composer Kensuke Ushio, recognizing the central role of sound in the film, gave importance to musical and non-musical elements, including silence. The song "lvs", played when Shōko is excluded from the class community, was recorded by putting a microphone inside a piano, obtaining a muffled sound in which the piano mechanics' noises are emphasized. This technique recreates for the viewer an effect that resembles Shōko's perception. [21] Release [ edit ]

Poignant and beautifully animated, A Silent Voice is not only a well made anime film, but also an interesting commentary on the state of one's mental health and well-being. This film will likely strike a chord with anybody suffering from depression and/or anxiety who wish they could find a way to fix their past mistakes. Also, despite its serious tone, director Naoko Yamada still manages to insert some humorous and quirky comic relief at appropriate times, much in the vein of what was seen in K-On!, her previous work. The Japanese voice acting is solid, however it is Saori Hayami as the voice of Shoko Nishimiya who stands out the most. Her performance as a deaf girl was highly convincing and never seemed exaggerated or too comical. I have not yet seen the English dub but I plan to do so in the not-to-distant future. Through their friendship, Shōya’s capacity for kindness and empathy become clear, with the better parts of his personality beginning to show themselves. Even so, he fails to understand Shōko’s feelings for him, believing she was referring to the moon rather than confessing. Despite this, they continue to grow closer, with the culmination of their bond being Shōya saving Shōko’s life and having a heart-to-heart with her when they reunite. He finally apologizes for his past behavior and empathizes with her feelings of doubt and self-loathing, ultimately asking her to help him live. Shōko is touched by his words and makes a promise, with them finally beginning to truly understand each other. Satoshi Mashiba: Shōya begins to trust Satoshi after being told by Miki that Satoshi thinks he’s cool and wants to be his friend. The two get along rather well and become great friends, with Shōya enjoying Satoshi’s company and believing him to be a good guy. However, their friendship is dampened for a while after Shōya’s past as a bully is revealed by Miki.

The film is based on Yoshitoki Ima’s manga of the same name, which he both wrote and drew. The film had its global debut on September 17, 2016, in Japan, and it was released between June and February 2017, all over the globe. After facing the consequences of his actions for the next five years, Shōya has become a very isolated and self-loathing person in his late teens. He has grown to deeply regret his past actions and believes himself to be unworthy of happiness. Even after befriending Shōko, Shōya is very self-critical and doubtful at first, unsure if his desire to be her friend is genuine or if he’s trying to satisfy himself. He is also shown to be quite dense to the feelings of himself and others, having outbursts of anger or crying without knowing why. ajthefourth (May 23, 2017).
