A Silent Voice didn't necessarily demand to be an animated feature. But because KyoAni's creators are able to put so much expressiveness into the characters, it communicates much of what they're feeling without words.
Yuzuru is a rather short girl for her age with a small build and fair skin. She wears her black hair in a short cut of which the longest part of her ends at the nape of her neck, and then goes back up to the front locks that end on the bridge of the nose.

The report on the website reveals that a section of fans fell in love with the story and eventually started a rumor claiming that A Silent Voice is based on a true story. However, till date there is no proof if A Silent Voice is a real story.
The Violet Evergarden series began as a series of light novels that ran from 2015 to 2020 written by Kana Akatsuki and illustrated by Akiko Takase. The series was adapted into an anime series in 2018 by Kyoto Animation and also received a film called Violet Evergarden: Eternity and the Auto Memory Doll.
Story and Analysis In the manga, Yuzuru cuts her own hair short with scissors when her mother was about to cut her sister's hair even though Shouko didn't want her hair short. Yuzuru attempts to redirect her mother's forceful ways of what she sees as protecting Shouko.
17 Year Old Shoya has narrowed, beady eyes of a dark grayish-brown color, with thick eyebrows. This gives him a mournful, tragic facial appearance. His straight short hair is jet black, always looking wind tossed and uncombed, that forms into many tiny spikes all over his head.
ShoyaAfter a while, Shoko falls in love with Shoya and, at one point, tries to declare this. However, due to her speech impediment, he fails to understand her. At the end of the manga/movie, after having studied in Tokyo for a while, Shoko returns to her hometown and reunites with Shoya for the Coming of Age Day.
For those who don't know, the K-drama starring Jang Hyuk and Lee Ha Na is notorious for its depictions of violence and shock aversion in which are necessary for the K-drama's story to be authentic as it is based off of true events.
Shōya Ishida's older sister's name is never revealed and is simply referred to as "Shōya's/your sister" throughout the series.
A Silent Voice ending explained: Shoya was always afraid of the voices of others, who talked about him and bullied him. He, therefore, created an X mark on their faces in order to feel safe. But towards the end of the film, he decides to face his 'bullies' and listen to the voices of the others.
Shoko accepts his offer, leading Shoya to endeavor to make up for his bullying of Shoko. Tomohiro Nagatsuka, another loner, also befriends Shoya after he helps him out with a bully. One day, Shoya accidentally drops Shoko's notebook into a river; he then jumps in to retrieve it, which is prohibited.
It is revealed that, in sixth grade, a new student named Shoko Nishimiya joins Shoya's class and is revealed to be deaf. She tries to integrate with the class but ends up being an easy target for Shoya and his friends to bully.
To cheer them up, Shoya takes them to the countryside and sees that Shoko blames herself for everything that has happened to him. Shoya decides to devote his entire social life to the sisters. During a fireworks festival, Shoko goes home under the guise of finishing homework.
After transferring into a new school, a deaf girl, Shouko Nishimiya, is bullied by the popular Shouya Ishida. As Shouya continues to bully Shouko, the class turns its back on him. Shouko transfers and Shouya grows up as an outcast. Alone and depressed, the regretful Shouya finds Shouko to make amends.
Forget you ever heard of this film. Go read the manga. No, seriously: skip…this…movie. It’s an overwhelmingly minority opinion, I know, but A Silent Voice is a slapdash, choppy, depthless summary of a remarkable, heartrending story of the despairing consequences from the most basic of our childhood stupidities: our ignorance of empathy.

Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Eternal is consistently excellent visually, and at times even manages to be emotionally evocative. However, it suffers from a narrative that's too concerned with checking things off and slapdash conflict resolutions that hinder any tension or suspense.
When it comes to creating a connection with their audiences, very few films manage to achieve what A Silent Voice did. The poignant tale of redemption of a childhood bully who grew up to be a loner as a teenager, ...
4 Yuzuru Nishimiya: The Rebellious Younger Sister Who Stood By Her Big Sis Through Thick & Thin. Shouko’s younger sister was shown to be a rebel who had an estranged relationship with their mother. She was fiercely protective of her sister and was shown to have an intense hatred toward Ishida.
7 Yaeko Nishimiya: Her “Tough Love” Belief Resulted In Her Daughter Getting Consistently Bullied. Yaeko was someone who believed in “tough love.”. After becoming hardened by her husband leaving her when she was pregnant, she expected Shouko to become strong the same way – by facing and overcoming hardships.
Throughout the movie, Shouko was shown to be a sweet young girl who wanted nothing else but to make friends, be happy and live her life like a normal girl. Being bullied seemed to have an impact on her mental well-being, something which is dealt with later on in the movie.
Kazuki was a “fair-weather” friend. The moment people turned on Ishida, he too turned his back on his best friend. He never stopped Ishida from bullying, but also conveniently condemned his actions when everybody else did the same.
As a true blue tsundere, Naoka was often rude to her classmates in general, and Ishida in specific. Her words and actions often hurt people, including Shouko. However, despite being aware of the result of her actions, Naoka did not bother to change her ways.
