2025’s Most Underrated Anime Movie Is Officially Coming To Netflix

by

2025 was a landmark year for anime films, highlighted by the release of Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Part 1 — Akaza’s Return, which quickly became the highest-grossing anime movie ever. The film topped the box office in Japan and shattered records internationally. Another standout release was Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc, praised for its exceptional direction and animation, and earning the title of highest-rated anime movie of all time.

While films like Infinity Castle and the Reze Arc gained a lot of attention, several other great movies flew under the radar this year. One standout is 100 METERS, a must-see for anime lovers, particularly those familiar with the creator’s previous work, Orb: On the Movements of the Earth. Good news for anyone who missed it in cinemas – 100 METERS will be available to stream on Netflix starting December 31, 2025, so you can enjoy it from home.

100 METERS Is Coming To Netflix On December 31

The movie 100 Meters is definitely worth seeing. It was first released in Japan this September and has become very popular, even though it hasn’t received quite as much attention as Demon Slayer.

The creator of the popular series, Orb: On the Movements of the Earth, also wrote 100 Meters. If you enjoyed Orb, you’ll likely enjoy this new story too.

100 Meters follows the story of two sprinters: Togashi, who is naturally gifted, and Komiya, who relies on dedication and effort. Their contrasting approaches lead to a compelling rivalry that drives the film’s narrative.

Although this movie didn’t get a lot of attention in theaters, many fans will be happy to know it’s coming to Netflix soon! Starting December 31, 2025, you’ll be able to watch it from the comfort of your own home – a perfect chance to catch it if you missed it before.

100 METERS Is An Underrated And Must Watch 2025 Movie

100 Meters is a fantastic anime film that hasn’t gotten much attention. Because it doesn’t have a well-known franchise behind it, and focuses on the world of track racing – a significant change from the historical setting of Orb – it may not appeal to all anime fans.

Even though Orb is a fantastic series, it didn’t attract a large audience. That’s likely why 100 METERS isn’t getting the recognition it deserves.

I recently checked out ‘100 Meters,’ and even though it didn’t have massive viewership, people who did watch it really seemed to enjoy it. It has a strong rating of 8.1 out of 10 on IMDb, and a very similar 8.14/10 on MyAnimeList. It’s clearly a well-regarded piece.

100 METERS Was Overshadowed By Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle And Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc

While 100 Meters was a good film, it’s understandable why it didn’t get as much attention with so many other major movies coming out in 2025.

In 2025, Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Part 1 — Akaza’s Return was released and quickly became a massive success, exceeding all previous films. It topped the box office in Japan and continues to be a popular topic of conversation even now.

I watched as 2025 brought us the “Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc” movie. While it didn’t quite reach the box office heights of “Demon Slayer,” it was still a huge success. But where it really stood out was with the fans – it received incredible ratings. In fact, it became the highest-rated anime movie ever on MyAnimeList, scoring a 9.18 out of 10. That put it right behind “Frieren” as the second-highest rated anime series on the whole platform. Considering how well it was received, it’s no surprise that “100 Meters” didn’t stand a chance.
