How Deafness is Treated in Anime

Sorry for no uploads recently, but glad I got this video out now because I'm leaving home for 3 weeks so it was either get a video out now or in a month and I really didn't want to wait another month.

Not deaf but took 3 years of ASL. It is unfortunately common for parents of deaf children to not learn it. They can be on their death bed and not be able to talk to their child. It’s also common for deaf kids to be sent to schools that don’t use sign language and try to teach them to lip read and speak.

Yeah I looked into it a bit while I was editing and that did seem to be the rhetoric I found, which I thought was depressing. Thank you for confirming this though.

The story of Yubisaki to Renren handed Yuki everything on a silver platter. That's why it's hard to connect to her despite being in her POV and more focused on romance. To be honest, I find both Itsuomi and Oushi creepy. Sure, Itsuomi is more supportive of Yuki but he has no sense of space. There's no real person who wouldn't be comfortable with that. I guess that's the romance tax even if the cast was compromised of young adults.
On the other hand, A Silent Voice was very mature in handling the issue despite having a group of kids/minors as the main cast. They're not too on the nose about it either.

Yeah Itsuomi's invasion of space was another thing that got romanticised which I didn't enjoy. I only actually began to like his character in the final episode when they showed where his spark for learning new languages came from. That was really cute imo

Thank you for watching for so long, Salma! I do have some plans for streaming over summer so hopefully I will be able to and it'll be at a good time for you to watch :D

[@salmaa_269]

Can’t wait to see you on stream soon ! :D

Can we all agree the guy in A sign of Affection is fucking creepy. (Especially the dubbed version)

[@phoenyck]

It has creepy moments, sure. But overall I still like it for what it is!

[@demonasus3911]

Are these the only deaf shows? Or are there more?

[@phoenyck]

I personally couldn't find any more. I'm not aware of any other show/movie where deafness plays a key part, and I couldn't remember another instance where there was a deaf minor character, even if they weren't the main focus.
