A Silent Voice

Guess they couldn't handle competing with Shinkai and Anno in the same week.

So, the hearsay that the A Silent Voice film wasn't good was completely unfounded. While the movie doesn't explore the characters and themes as deeply as the manga does, it's still a beautifully directed and well-paced marvel of animation that captures the heart and essence of the manga's story of redemption and friendship. You should definitely watch it, even though to do so legally you have to get a UK iTunes account and buy it through a foreign gift card. Seriously, why hasn't anyone licensed this for North America yet? I saw Your Name four times on the big screen, and you'd be damn well sure I'd see Silent Voice even more times if I was able to.
