A Silent Voice is centered on the relationship between male lead Shoya and Shoko, who meet when she transfers into his elementary school class.
So it’s admirable to see, in the trailer, that A Silent Voice doesn’t try to portray Shoko’s difficulties in speaking by making her talk like a child.
A Silent Voice is set to open in Japanese theaters on September 17.
The scenes look to be animated with extreme care, in keeping with the sensibilities and respect A Silent Voice has shown by planning subtitled screening for the hearing impaired.
