2025 was a big year for anime movies as fans saw the release of the new biggest anime movie of all time, Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Part 1 — Akaza’s Return. This movie is now Japan’s number one at the Box Office, and it has managed to break records all around the world. Fans also got one of the most stunning new movies as well in Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc. With flawless direction and animation, the Reze Arc movie became the highest-rated anime movie of all time.
Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Part 2 Release Date: What to Expect
Demon Slayer fans are patiently waiting for the next movie, Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Part 2. Its release date might have already been revealed.
Infinity Castle and Reze Arc definitely stood out, but there are other underrated gems that dropped throughout the year. When it comes to the most underrated 2025 movie, one can’t forget about 100 METERS. This movie is a must-watch for any anime fan, especially since it is from the same creator of Orb: On the Movements of the Earth. Luckily for fans who missed it in theaters, 100 METERS is now coming to Netflix for streaming. Fans can now watch it from the comfort of their homes on December 31, 2025.
100 METERS Is Coming To Netflix On December 31
100 METERS is a must-watch movie, which first premiered this year in Japan in September, and it has been a huge hit, despite not making waves like Demon Slayer.
The story of 100 METERS is written by the same creator of the acclaimed series, Orb: On the Movements of the Earth. Fans of Orb definitely need to check out this work as well.
100 METERS is a story about two track racers. One of them, named Togashi, is a natural-born talent. Meanwhile, Komiya isn’t a natural, but he’s a hard worker. The two of them develop an interesting rivalry that unfolds throughout the movie.
Sadly, many fans might have missed this movie in theaters as it wasn’t the most popular movie of the year. Luckily, it’s going to be available for streaming on Netflix soon, and that’s certainly very exciting. Starting December 31, 2025, it’ll be available for the fans to watch on Netflix, and this is the perfect opportunity to watch it from home.
100 METERS Is An Underrated And Must Watch 2025 Movie
100 METERS is a brilliant anime movie that’s definitely gone under the radar of most fans. The movie doesn’t have a huge IP name backing it up, and the story of track racers might not be the most eye-catching to fans, especially as it’s a huge departure from the medieval setting of Orb.
Even when it comes to Orb, it is quite clear that despite it being an absolute masterpiece, not many fans watched the series. This is why 100 METERS most certainly doesn’t get the attention that it deserves.
Chainsaw Man Season 2 Reportedly Greenlit
Chainsaw Man’s season 2 has reportedly been greenlit. Fans await official confirmation for now.
100 METERS, despite its lower viewership, was still received very well. On IMDb, it’s currently rated 8.1/10, which is a solid score. On MAL, it showcases a similar score of 8.14/10.
100 METERS Was Overshadowed By Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle And Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc
100 METERS was a great movie, but of course, when looking at the other big 2025 movie releases, it’s easy to see how it was overlooked.
2025 saw the release of Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Part 1 — Akaza’s Return, and its success surpassed anything that came before it. The movie became the biggest box office hit in Japan, and it is still being talked about months later.
2025 also saw the release of Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc. While the movie didn’t deliver numbers as impressive as Demon Slayer at the box office, it still did amazingly well. When it comes to ratings, it blew every other anime release out of the water this year. Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc became the highest-rated anime movie of all time on MAL with a score of 9.18/10. It also became the second-highest rated anime ever on the platform, just behind Frieren. Against such demons, it is not hard to see why 100 METERS just got buried instead.
