With that, it has released a new trailer subbed in English and even Chinese for its non-Japanese viewers. “A Silent Voice” is preparing to make its international debut in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia, and Singapore.

With an inspiring story, “A Silent Voice” is highly anticipated in other countries so fans cannot hide their excitement when it was announced that it will start making its way in theaters outside of Japan. Film distributor, Purple Plan has scheduled it to debut in Singapore and Malaysia on March 9. It will then make its premiere in Taiwan on March 27 and in Hong Kong on April 6.

“A Silent Voice” made its theatrical premiere in Japan back in September 2016 and the Japanese trailer has made waves through the internet, enticing international viewers with the animated film’s art and story. The story is about a delinquent named Shoya Ishida who reunites with a classmate back in elementary.
