Anime film about bullied deaf girl to be shown in theaters with subtitles for hearing-impaired soranews24.com

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.
Likewise, the majority of anime DVDs lack Japanese subtitling, preventing deaf fans viewers from fully enjoying a huge portion of the country’s animation output.
The decision to accommodate deaf audiences in a film featuring a deaf character is somewhat evocative of 2015 anime Miss Hokusai, in which the protagonist’s younger sister is blind.
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.
