Last time, The Phantom of Baker Street won by the closest margin so far (but it still wasn't very close). This time, we have what might be the first genuinely close faceoff:

Movie 7: Crossroad in the Ancient Capital


vs.

Movie 8: Magician of the Silver Sky


The thread that explains the contest

The bracket that shows how pairings are determined and which movies have been eliminated:

Yay! Two movies I have watched! And recently(I mean only one or two months ago)! Mmm... I like both, and although I find the Kaito Kid one very exciting(when they try to land the plane) I loved Movie 7. So I voted for Crossroad in the Ancient Capital.

Crossroads remains one of my favourite movies to this day. I must have watched it half a dozen times by now XD

I only saw the first 1/4 of movie 7 but it was better than any of movie 8 so...

Movie 8 is weird. It felt like all 3 major parts of the movie were made by entirely different people.

I'd have to go with movie 7. I have to agree with slider here; movie 8 felt disconnected. Even the high KID factor couldn't change the fact that it felt like three separate movies.

Sorry Kaito. Both you and the small confession scene can't bring movie 8 to beat the action from Heiji in movie 7.

Hmm I really love both of these, but I have to agree with everyone else.
Not to mention:
\o/ Chibi-Heiji and Chibi-Kazuha <3

When even manga doesn't vote for the movie with KID in it, you know it's going to lose

I just remembered that other than the first 1/3 of the movie, the best part was how it establishes stuff that leads into the Ran and Kaito stuff in Movie 14 (which genuinely should have been the focus of that movie btw, as it's a phenomenal idea for a story).

I thought movie 7 was terrible, but it doesn't seem like I have too many allies there.

Meh for both but Heiji > Kid so 7.

I didn't like movie 7 at all, so my vote goes to movie 8

...seriously, why I am agreeing with you so much in this thread? Ever since it was briefly flirted with in the manga, I've wanted to see a broader story involving Ran mistaking Kaito and/or Kaitou Kid for Shinichi. Also, some acknowledgement that Aoko and Ran are basically twins would be interesting.

I liked both movies, the confession scene in 8 was the best thing in it, but 7 was over all better, adding Heiji's lovers look at the end
