A silent voice is an anime focusing more on the social perspective of the story, and less on the romance, if there is a romantic story to begin with that is. The issues that it's handling are powerful, giving the point of view of the bully, who was turned into the victim and eventually changed all together to become friends with the girl he was bulling. The anime explores the journey from being an outcast to finally reaching the point where the boy understands his victim, understands his friends and the people he hates and opens up to the world. Unlike the manga, it doesn't focuses too much on the girl, who struggles to feat in due to her disability, but more on the boy's life and social circles. Sure, there were some things left out, but, at least for me, the main battle of presenting the sign language in an anime was won. So, 7 out of 10.
