The most recent anime I watched was A Silent Voice on Netflix, btw, where I felt obligated to watch the English dub because that was the one that cast a Deaf actress to play the Deaf character (It was very good in general, so back off dub haters)

Like I'm not politically on board with the whole "Cancel culture kills" thing but... just as a movie it is a very powerful wrenching portrait of someone being destroyed by being "canceled" (He was a kid after all)

The movie, FYI, is about a Deaf girl who ends up bullied and ostracized in her elementary school class, until one day it "goes too far" and gets the authorities' attention, upon which the story gets out and the one kid who was the ringleader gets all the blame

The opening of the movie just shows the guy, now a teenager, quietly wrapping up his life and preparing to kill himself, certain that he can't go on living a life where he'll never be anything but the monster who bullied a Deaf girl

The movie is about him pulling back from that and how he ends up rebuilding his life and how he and his former victim fall in love (It's a really touchy, risky concept for a movie that for many reasons I think couldn't have been made in the US)

The manga is seriously heart-wrenching, I can only recommend it.

I just wish A Silent Voice centered it’s Deaf character more.

The movie earns some points back from me in the ending where we realize she was going through her own incredible suffering and psychodrama offscreen and even in his attempt at redemption he was too self-involved to really understand what was going on with her
