    • Trivia
      Shoko's English dub voice actress Lexi Marman is actually deaf in real life.
    • Goofs
      During Ishida and Ueno's conversation at the crosswalk, Nishimiya is seen holding the pouch that Ishida had given to her as a gift. However, it disappears after Ueno sprints across the street and removes Nishimiya's earpiece; it is nowhere to be seen on her person or on the ground.
    • Quotes

      Miyoko Sahara: I couldn't change. I couldn't protect you again. I was the same coward.

      Shoko Nishimiya: You can change from now on.

    • Crazy credits
      Though the official Roman-character title used on merchandise in Japan, and on the movie's posters, trailers, video boxes, video menus and so on in English-speaking countries is "A Silent Voice: The Movie" (often shortened to just "A Silent Voice"), the Roman-character title which appears on-screen in the full movie itself is instead "The Shape of Voice", which is an awkward mistranslation into English of "Koe no katachi".
