Alunauwie Review from TMDB
★★★★★

A Silent Voice is a powerful animated film that explores bullying, guilt, and emotional healing from both the victim's and the perpetrator's perspectives. Through strong character development and emotional storytelling, the film delivers a deep and relatable message, enhanced by beautiful animation and fitting music. Though animated, its mature themes make it more suitable for older audiences. Read the full review here: (Indonesian version : alunauwie.com) and (English version : uwiepuspita.com)

"A Silent Voice" is a film that has changed my vision of the life, understanding better the importance of the human communications. Including profound reflections related to empathy, self-esteem, redemption, self-improvement, and the importance of understanding and listening to others. This film was truly made with love. Because it has a Sound-Track thought and composed as if they were simulating the stimuli that a deaf person can feel throughout his life, such as the touch of someone or the vibrations of a cup of water. Furthermore, the way the animation and camera angles are crafted reflects the emotions and evolution of each character, creating a unique impact due to its thoughtful design. Making me love this film even more for these details, feeling a unique and nostalgic experience when watching it, leaving it definitely one of the best films on a personal level.

Reno Review from TMDB

A second chance to fix the past mistake. This is the next best anime in the recent time after 'Your Name'. Not that you know this director very well, not at the international level. But with a film like this, she's going to be. This is another teen romance. Well, romance is not exactly a word that matches with what this film is about narrative, but there's no other way to describe its theme. It was like before romance, that mean before committing to a relationship and after you had started to like someone while fixing the mistakes made in the past. It's a high school tale. Before that, it opened with a brief flashback of the elementary school events, where Shoya Ishida bullied a new admission Shoko Nishimiya for her hearing impairment. Soon after that, she'd transferred to another school. Now, a few years later, they meet again in the high school, where Ishida tried to fix what he had...
