A Silent Voice comes to UK cinemas on 15th March

Having made its debut last year at Scotland Loves Anime before enjoying a smattering of screenings around the country via the Japan Foundation Touring Film Programme, next month will see Kyoto Animation's film adaptation of A Silent Voice reach UK cinemas nationwide.

Specifically, screenings will take place across the country on Wednesday, 15th March, with further screenings then taking place on Friday, 17th March in some locations - you can find screenings near you and book tickets via the film's own UK hub web site.

All screenings are in Japanese with English subtitles (an English dub has been confirmed but is not yet complete), and the synopsis for the film is as follows:

“A heart-wrenching romantic anime drama, A Silent Voice follows a youngster named Shoko. After moving to a new school, Shoko is taunted because of her hearing impairment, principally by Shouya, who leads the class in teasing her. When Shoko is eventually forced to transfer to another school, Shouya’s classmates in turn ostracise him for his cruel behaviour.

Years later, as a young adult, Shouya is riddled with guilt over his humiliation of Shoko. Living an aimless life with no friends, he determines to find her and try to atone. But is it too late, and what might her reaction be?”
