They are both on my all time favorite stories, but honestly Everything Everywhere All at Once takes the cake for leaving probably the biggest impact on my life that fiction ever has

Everything Everywhere All At Once is just a nice artistic and experimental movie, but extremely flawed in terms of movie making and story telling. Sonny Boy is better simply because it’s grounded and way more thought provoking relying on the personal interpretations a lot more.

Depends what you are wanting… if you want comedy, then Everything. If you want a convoluted anime, then Sonny Boy. Although Sonny Boy did have like 3 amazing episodes.
The right mindset when watching an anime is hoping that it will break your top 10

Everything everywhere all at once is the movie that got me back into watching films again. It made me feel like a child again discovering that one film that you know will stick with you for the rest of your life.

Long story short I love everything everywhere all at once

Both of them are masterpieces to me, but they handle the multiverse concept very differently and it’s tough to compare them. I feel like Sonny Boy doesn’t really lean into the standard multiverse concept and instead shows each universe as a different pocket dimension, while EEAAO really focuses on alternate, branching timelines.

I'll have to go with EEAAO simply because you said "better multiverse story" and not "better story that involves the multiverse"

I watched everything everywhere all that once, and loved it....

but I'll be lying if I said during a huge part of it, I wasn't thinking sonny boy did the same thing but better.

the biggest difference is that, everything everywhere all at once is much more casual friendly, so it will without doubt be the more enjoyable one to most people.

but I think the biggest thing that holds the movie back compared to sonny boy, is the message.

both of them send the message of optimistic nihilism, which is basically saying you should live a fulfilling life "because" nothing matters anyways.

the movie just went about it like... yeah do that instead, because normal nihilism = bad.

but sonny boy built it to it's core and showed you WHY it's better, and it's not just that, unlike that movie, it never tells you to DO THIS. it just shows you both sides of the coin and concludes that optimistic nihilism is better, without saying it.

it's show don't tell and theming at perfection, but for that exact reason a lot of people will miss it.

which again comes back to sonny boy being way less casual friendly.
