In addition to animating the final arc of Slam Dunk with incredible visuals and animation, The First Slam Dunk's music and shot composition allowed Slam Dunk’s story to rise to even greater heights than before. Not only did Madoka Magica: Rebellion improve on the already creative and gorgeous animation of the original anime, but it did so through a story that masterfully built off of the anime to create an incredible twist that completely changed the franchise, forever. Ghost in the Shell features amazing art, animation, and direction that have hardly aged in the almost 30 years since its original release, and when paired with its thought-provoking story about humanity, it makes for an anime film that easily stands out as one of the best.
