Is this the best Anime Film of the 21st Century?

I'm a soon to be film student and recently have been doing a lot of looking into animated films. I've watched over 20 anime films and counting in the past month and a half and after watching them all, I have not seen a single one come close to being a better film than A Silent Voice. From an animated film standpoint, the tactics that are used play into the story so incredibly well that it keeps any viewer locked in. I spoke about this in another post but the is one of the most interesting pieces that help with the story astronomically. They not only help with the understanding of Shoya's situation to the viewer, but also play into the story. That, in turn, makes the final scene of the film incredibly redeeming. There are so many other little things that they use that also do things like that, but I want to know what you think. The other one people talk about is Your Name and although I agree that Your Name is a fantastic film, I don't think it beats A Silent Voice in its storytelling or as a movie overall. Animation quality sure I'll give that to CoMix Wave but I think that A Silent Voice made the better movie overall.

it's not that good imo
afterall rom animes r not type
I don't like both hero and heroine
at first hero bullies heroine but heroine still wants to be friend with him
that doesn't seems real

Of the many that people bring up (Your Name, Pancreas, Promised Flower Blooms), A Silent Voice is easily better than any i’ve ever seen, and imo the themes and symbols represented here as well as the character arc of Shouya (Shouko is another story), are unparalleled by anything else i’ve ever seen

Nah,the movie was really good and it got me into anime but there are better movies out there like Maquia(my opnion only).I liked the manga better as we could read the monologue of ishida nicely and the I legit felt emotions while reading the panels,part of the reason was that I related to ishida(though I never bullied anyone in my childhood). The ending scene's ost remains my fav and that scene was really impactful . Maquia was beautiful story that shows about the circle of life and how everyone find a path to move forward by finding their reason for living. It l felt really sad towards the ending but my heart was content with it as it showed that everything has an end. The change of the world can be seen thorough Maquia and the fact that she slowly ages makes us know that world is slowly changing while she remains the same.

I totally get you there. The ending to Maquia is one of the best I've seen but so is A Silent Voice. I have them both rated at a 10 on here but personally, I found A Silent Voices Juicy midlde of movie stuff to be a lot more interesting than Maquia's

yep,u can say that as we feel anxious about what is going to happen next in a silent voice ,how will ishida find his redemption?kyoni did a good job by adapting the impactful ch into a movie.The ost,characters are relatable and realistically written(meeting on the bridge felt only kinda unrealistic) but hey it is an anime. Both movies are fantastic .

I agree that the themes in the film are great, but no. I also don’t like pretty “beautiful animation and give me feels movies” so don’t think too much about me

Pyro said:
20 anime movies is an extremely small amount for comparison. Let's chill with the best ever stuff. But yes, it's a very good movie. The manga is better tho.

duckybear said:

No I totally get that. Some people definitely like things like action movies or just something more intense and less emotional.

I would love if you could list a few I am always looking for new anime films to try out

It's a great movie but personally, it would not be in my Top 10 Anime films. Here are 10 that I would rank above it:

End of Evangelion
Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya
Perfect Blue
Madoka Magica: Rebellion
Made in Abyss: Dawn of the Deep Soul
Violet Evergarden Movie
Kara no Kyoukai Movie 5
Kara no Kyoukai Movie 7
The Girl Who Leapt Through Time
Night is Short, Walk on Girl

Though, all of these, with the exception of the last two, are part of bigger series (ie: Some are sequels to anime series, etc.) so I guess it is not a fair comparison.
