Producers for A Silent Voice are planning to accommodate fans who, like the series’ female lead, can’t hear.
As such, it’s only fitting that theaters nationwide will be showing the film with Japanese subtitles, for the benefit of the hearing impaired.
Manga creator Yoshitoki Oima’s A Silent Voice, titled Koe no Katachi (literally “The Shape of Voice”) in Japanese, begins with a new student transferring into elementary school student Shoya’s class.
All theaters scheduled to show A Silent Voice will show the subtitled version, which will be screened once a day at each location between September 24 and 30.
