#100anime

We're finally starting off that 100 Anime Bucket List challenge I got about a month ago, and it starts us off strong with A Silent Voice. So, as promised, here's my take on it!

✎ Synopsis: Nishimiya Shoko is a deaf girl, and transfers into Shouya Ishida's grade school class. The story starts after everything that happened in grade school, with a now-grown Ishida in high school. It's the story of how he atones for what he did in the past, and how he grows as an individual.

💭 Personal Opinion: This one hits hard, man. It's amazing to have a movie about deafness, as well as decent sign language, but the animations really blew it out of the water (or, in this particular case, into the water?) I really like to watch these kinds of movies when I'm feeling down. It really gives you another view of life.

💖 Favorite Character(s): I think Yuzuru is probably my favorite. She's adorable, and not to mention really sweet.

👜 What to bring going into this anime: An open mind, and maybe a box of tissues. And don't forget your movie snacks.

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 stars. A touching story and the voice acting (Japanese) was really living up to the hype of the animation. The story itself is really beautiful too. I wholeheartedly recommend watching this one if you have yet to see it.

100 Anime Bucket List

So I got this amazing anime bucket list poster for my birthday. And instead of just scratching off all the ones I've already seen, I decided to just go through and watch them all again!

So, I'm gonna make this fun and do a full review of each one I watch. I'll be using the hashtag #100anime on every anime review post I do so you can find it easier on my blog.

The image above is the exact poster I got, so if you'd like to join me on this binging journey, then join in! I'll be watching them starting from A Silent Voice, and going down the list from left to right.
