Some anime stories minimize or overturn physical disabilities, but these ones provide genuine and earnest representation, in a thoughtful manner.
As varied as the anime medium can be, disability representation unfortunately rarely comes up in stories favored by this industry. Moreover, even when disabled characters are present, their disabilities are often diminished or overlooked, or sometimes even completely overturned. This is the case for characters who supposedly suffer from certain conditions, only to then receive magical powers that make them stronger than anyone else, not actually being limited in any way.
9 A Silent Voice A Silent Voice follows a deaf girl named Shouko Nishimiya, whose hearing loss leads to severe bullying from classmates and peers during her childhood. This, combined with her difficulty in connecting with others, results in her developing self-esteem issues, blaming herself, and feeling guilty about things that are out of her control.
6 Interviews With Monster Girls While not as evident as other stories, Interviews With Monster Girls presents certain parallels to real-life disabilities, albeit with a mythological twist. The story follows a teacher who seeks to connect with and learn from demi-humans, all of whom are affected by their identity.
3 Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion As the sister of Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion's protagonist, Nunnally vi Britannia represents not only Lelouch's primary motivation for building a better world, but also a strong character in and of herself.
