#A silent voice trailer movie#

Now there’s an extended trailer for the film from acclaimed studio Kyoto Animation, which highlights even more of what’s in store for viewers of the movie about a high schooler trying to make amends for his childhood misdeeds.Ī Silent Voice is centered on the relationship between male lead Shoya and Shoko, who meet when she transfers into his elementary school class. In June, we took a look at the first teaser for Koe no Katachi, also known as A Silent Voice. However, there’s one more highly anticipated anime film just around the corner. Overall, it strikes a near perfect balance of story, character, and visual style.Female lead’s voice acting sounds like nothing else in recent anime.Īnime got a lot of respect at Japanese theaters this summer, with Your Name, the latest offering from director Makoto Shinkai, getting off to an extremely fast start on its way to a possible finish as the highest-earning movie in Japan this year. For those new to anime, this is a great place to start, and for those who are familiar, this belongs among the best of the genre. There are also so many gorgeous moments of animation, moments of lovely imagery. It's a long movie, but, again, it does maintain a mostly straightforward story, unlike the 'kitchen sink' story threads and knots that are a part of so many other anime movies. Of course, because it's anime, there's a healthy amount of sentimentality and melodrama, but these are more than offset by the stories of these young characters as they navigate the perils of fitting in, growing up, and learning from past mistakes. Bullying, suicide, not fitting in, redemption - these are all topics that the movie explores through this relatively (for anime) straightforward story. A Silent Voice: The Movie is a coming-of-age story in which a tween boy grows into adolescence trying to make amends for the hurt he caused a deaf girl due to his merciless bullying. This is a beautiful anime that fearlessly explores uncomfortable topics.

Okay, I obviously love anime so just want to say, the animation and art is very good, and the music is pretty, all the characters are very well designed, and the story is great (though a bit confusing). If your kid can handle some of these topics (suicide, death, injury, anxiety) then it is a great movie. They do wear pretty short skirts, but that’s to be expected as it is anime. Other inappropriate things: One girl does make a pretty weird, gross (and I admit, kind of inappropriate) comment but it isn’t really important and very short. However a main character does try to commit suicide, but nobody dies. For violence, it is only in a few scenes, and there is no blood. Violence/blood: There is one scene where Shoya rips out Shokos’ hearing aids very hard, and there is one drop of blood. Language: Zero language other than some words that don’t even count, fine for anyone older than 10. Years later, one of her former tormentors ( Shoya Ishida) sets out to make amends. When a grade school student with impaired hearing (Shoko Nishimiya) is bullied mercilessly, she transfers to another school.
