Anime is saturated with superpowers. Strength. Intelligence. Charisma. Most characters have one or all three of these qualities. But what about when you don’t live in the spotlight as the most enviable hero? What about when the world is stacked against you in the most basic of ways, and what about those who suffer from an accessibility standpoint? Today, on Global Accessability Awareness Day , I’m going to take a closer look at three anime that deal with invisible disabilities, primarily deafness, and how characters overcome the challenges they face. To show the way people with disabilities interact in the world and with others without reducing them to their conditions is no small feat. It takes a tremendous amount of care and empathy, and encourages those of us who struggle that we matter. We’re seen. These anime are giving voice and shedding light and awareness on something that is often neglected or avoided.
