A Silent Voice (Koe No Katachi) - 2017 - Japanese Movie

Poster Credit : To the Owner A Silent Voice is one of the best animation movie I have seen in a while.  As a wild youth, elementary school student Shouya Ishida is naughty and troublemaker. When the deaf Shouko Nishimiya transfers into his class, Shouya and the rest of his class friends thoughtlessly bully her for fun.  To the point where she transfers, Shouya is singled out and blamed for everything done to her. He is ostracized all throughout elementary and middle school. Even now,  in his third year of high school, Shouya's past is brought up by everyone around him making him feel guilty and worst. Truly regretting his past wrong doings, he sets out on a journey of redemption and meets Shouko once more and make amends. Bullying is a very sensitive subject which is hardly ever brought up.
