Anime Club in the Teen Space! Every month we'll watch some anime, chat, and vote on what to watch next time! This month we are watching the film A Silent Voice (TV-14). 

A Silent Voice follows the poignant and moving story of Shoya Ishida, a school bully, and Shoko Nishimiya, a young girl with a hearing disability. Their story begins in sixth grade when Shoko transfers to Shoya’s elementary school and quickly finds herself bullied and isolated due to her hearing disability. Years later, the tables turn, and Shoya finds himself the victim. A Silent Voice depicts the struggles and challenges of adolescence alongside coming-of-age outside the norm.

We use the following sites for age ratings and reviews:

• Internet Movie Database supplies age ratings from various sources, including different countries in the case of international material.
• MyAnimeList is a fan community that rates anime. The age recommendations here tend to be stricter than TV or MPAA guidelines.
• Funimation & Viz Media both provide age ratings for their shows.

Parents and guardians are responsible for determining what library programs their children can attend. If you are uncomfortable with your teen viewing material rated PG-13/TV-14 (or their international equivalent), this club may not be a good fit.

As we continue to navigate the ongoing public health situation, we may need to transition this in-person program to a virtual offering. Please check your email for notifications of any changes regarding how this program is held. Otherwise, we are looking forward to seeing you at the Library!
