Purple Plan announced on Tuesday that it will offer a two-day screening of Naoko Yamada and Kyoto Animation's A Silent Voice anime film in Singapore at The Projector on April 27 and May 1.
Purple Plan screened the film in theaters in Singapore in March 2017. The film ranked at #4 in its opening weekend. The film also had another screening in Singapore recently through the Sakura Matsuri: Anime Garden 2019 event on March 31.
The film earned 2.3 billion yen in Japan, and was the 19th highest-grossing film released in Japan in 2016.
The film is based on Yoshitoki Ōima's manga of the same name. The story centers on two protagonists: Shoya Ishida and Shoko Nishimiya. Shoko is a deaf transfer student who is bullied by her classmates, with Shoya leading the bullying. Eventually, when the class is forced to take responsibility for bullying Shoko, the class turns to bullying Shoya to shift the blame. Years later, both Shoko and Shoya reunite.
