"As a wild youth, elementary school student Shouya Ishida sought to beat boredom in the cruelest ways. When the deaf Shouko Nishimiya transfers into his class, Shouya and the rest of his class thoughtlessly bully her for fun. However, when her mother notifies the school, he is singled out and blamed for everything done to her. With Shouko transferring out of the school, Shouya is left at the mercy of his classmates. He is heartlessly ostracized all throughout elementary and middle school, while teachers turn a blind eye.
Now in his third year of high school, Shouya is still plagued by his wrongdoings as a young boy. Sincerely regretting his past actions, he sets out on a journey of redemption: to meet Shouko once more and make amends.
Koe no Katachi tells the heartwarming tale of Shouya's reunion with Shouko and his honest attempts to redeem himself, all while being continually haunted by the shadows of his past."

After watching "The Anthem of the Heart" I got back into watching anime-movies, which I don't do that often because of reasons that.... are unknown to me, maybe because most of them don't catch my eye.
I watched Koe no Katachi today and I'd like to recommend this movie to everyone here.
This is certainly a bittersweet watch and the way the animation was handled to allow the viewer to read between the lines was really well done. Which is to be expected from Kyoto Animation.
I think it tackled the bully-issue really well and the desperation that came along with it too. It's always sad when you hear about someone thinking about suicide, especially when s/he's actually gotten close to doing it.
Whenever a person thinks that ending his life is of a certain benefit to his surroundings, then I can't help but constantly think about how truely regrettable such a decision is - no matter how it came to it, or what happened in the past. The human isn't capable of ending his life on a whim. Going through the final step they take isn't some odd way to call for help, it's already way past that. It's basically the last solution and whenever someone actually manages to go through with an attempt (whether he succeeds or not) you can't help but think about how much that person must have suffered to completely shut out his instinct of self-preservation - something that many people couldn't do even if their own child or love would depend on it.
Anyway, what goes around comes around, as they say, yet this movie isn't just about bad karma, it's also about how difficult it is to actually redeem yourself and how everyone has to fight their own demons.
I cried some rivers. Shōko is a real stunner.
I want to point out how happy it made me feel when I noticed they used "My generation" as it's opening and have Satsuki Yukino (Chidori @ FMP) as a VA... a voice which I haven't heard even once in the last 5 years or so.
Feel free to drop your thoughts.
