The best anime l have seen is The Shape of Voice.It described a story between a deaf girl and a boy who used to tease her in his childhood but decided to redeem hiself to ask for her forgiveness when he grew up ,based on the serious topic of school bullying and the problem the disabled faces.What moved me the most is the detailed description of those characters.As for instance,the girl in the movie was so self-abased that she chose to behave herself extremely “kind-hearted”,which is aberrant from the normal way.In her opinion,she was blamed for all of the mistakes whoever committed.On the other hand,when everyone including the school was informed of boy’s bullying.his character was also transferred quickly to the bullied one due to teacher’s ignorance as well as his family background——single parent,l guess.So after that,the boy was self-abased for a long time as well and decided to commit suicide at the start of the movie but gave up that idea after meeting the girl again.The movie has a happy ending for the disabled but not a good one in my view.Everyone excepts for the boy who used to tease the girl hasn’t changed themselves but determined to live together in peace.Even though some cuts of the movie isn’t consistent with each other well for the reason that it is difficult to contract a such long story into 2 hours,it is still a good movie.Not only does it reveal the darkside of the society but move us to care with those disabled and bullied.

As for instance, the girl in the movie was so self-abased that she chose to behave herself extremely “kindheartedly”,which is aberrant from the normal way. In her opinion, she was blamed for all of the mistakes whoever committed them. On the other hand,when everyone including the school was informed of the boy’s bullying, his character was also transferred quickly to the bullied one due to teacher’s ignorance as well as his family background——single parent, l guess. So after that, the boy was self-abased for a long time as well and decided to commit suicide at the start of the movie but gave up that idea after meeting the girl again. The movie has a happy ending for the disabled but not a good one in my view. Everyone except for the boy who used to tease the girl hasn’t changed themselves but determined to live together in peace. Even though some cuts of the movie aren’t consistent with each other well for the reason that it is difficult to condense such a long story into 2 hours, it is still a good movie. Not only does it reveal the dark side of society but move us to care about those disabled and bullied.
