A Silent Voice will be released in U.S. theaters this October, Eleven Arts announced during its panel today at Anime Expo.

As reported by Anime News Network, in addition to A Silent Voice, Eleven Arts will host screenings of the anime film Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Reflection in the United States this October. Those attending Anime Expo can catch a screening of A Silent Voice this coming Monday, July 3 at 4pm PT.

A Silent Voice was released in Japan on September 17, 2016

A Silent Voice is based on Yoshitoki Ōima's manga of the same name, and tells the story of a high school boy named Shouya Ishida, who, haunted by how he bullied a deaf girl in elementary school, sets out to make amends.

The film, directed by Naoko Yamada and written by Reiko Yoshida, received glowing reception from critics when it released in Japan last year, winning a number of awards, including Best Animation of the Year in the 26th Japan Movie Critics Awards.
