A silent voice

A silent Voice is a movie that will make you sad and indulge you in its world where if you have ever been bullied in middle school or high school or something like distancing yourself from people, it can be understood or cure your depression by watching the full movie.

This anime story is about a deaf girl Shoko Nishimiya who is a transfer student. And one of the main characters of this movie and the other main character of this movie is Shoya Ishida.

The story starts when Shoya Ishida tries to commit suicide, but then we go into the flashback to see why he is trying to suicide.

Shoya, who used to be a cheerful guy in his middle school and Shoko Nishimiya was transferred to his class.

Nishimiya have a hearing problem, and that’s why she used to wear the hearing machine through which she could listen clearly, but because of that, other kids didn’t interact with her and didn’t want to befriend her, which made her stay alone, but somehow she found few new friends.

Shoyo Saw the hearing Machine and started bullying her, and very soon. She became a bullying victim, but after knowing all the bullying, the teacher took strict action. All other students turned their back to him, even his friends.

After that, Shoyo’s big sister paid all the cost of the broken hearing machine he broke.

He saw all this and then stopped talking to anyone in school. All the faces of other students turned into X.

But after so many years, Shoyo found Nishimiya and then the story took another turn where they both became friends and started talking to each other, going out to feed fish bread and then falling in love with each other.

In the end, you will find another twist which I don’t want to tell because that will spoil your movie.

Naruto Series

Naruto is one of the best anime series and trusts me, Naruto itself is someone who can teach you how to come out of every depression you have in your life.

You want to cheer up your mood, turn on your tv or lappy and just start watching soul eater episode and trust me, in just 10 min you will see a smile on your face and feel more relaxed after you watch this anime.

The characters are funny and have so much humour. But my best character is soul Evans who is really sarcastic but at the same time very loyal to his friends.
