Academy Voters Don’t Watch The Animated Features They Vote On — And The Academy Is Fine With That

Jesus you are soo wrong, Anime aimed at kids is a small part of the entire Anime industry (around 5 - 10%), and while I will agree that the most popular Anime series created/adapted are aimed at teenagers (Shounen/Shoujo), Adult aimed series (Seinen/Josei) aren't that far behind, hell Seinen series (adult male aimed) is in terms of popularity is only beaten out by Shounen (teen boy aimed).

As for the movies you mention yes A Silent Voice is adapted from a Shounen manga (teen boy aimed), but Your Name is Adult aimed, because of the manga adaptation accompanying the movies's release (the manga started a few months before the movie's release and ended a little bit before its release) is a Seinen manga meaning the movie is Adult aimed, hell even the creator Makoto Shinkai said he made the story for Adults, just because the MC's are teens doesn't mean its a teen aimed story, tho it can be an indicator.

Also there is a clear difference between fiction for kids and fiction for teens, so lumping them together is just wrong.
