7 Anime Series That Deserve A Movie As Good As Infinity Castle

by

With the recent release of *Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Part 1 – Akaza’s Return*, *Demon Slayer* is incredibly popular right now. The movie’s success proves how much potential anime movies have, consistently breaking viewership records. It’s likely that *Demon Slayer’s* success will encourage other anime series to create large-scale, official movies of their own. Franchises like *One Piece* or *Solo Leveling* could especially benefit from a movie with the same quality as *Infinity Castle*.

Chainsaw Man

Biggest Movie: The Reze Arc Movie

Chainsaw Man is a recently released anime that quickly gained a large following with its first season. The series recently premiered a new movie, Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc, which has become incredibly popular in Japan. Viewers are praising the movie’s quality, and some believe it rivals the acclaimed Infinity Castle, though it may not reach the same level of widespread success.

Solo Leveling

Biggest Movie: Reawakening

Solo Leveling is a hugely popular anime that really gained traction in 2024. It’s become even more popular this year, especially after the exciting conclusion to Season 2. Many fans are hoping for a movie adaptation of the series.

Currently, there’s one *Solo Leveling* movie called *Solo Leveling: Reawakening*, but it mainly recaps the first season of the anime. A full-length *Solo Leveling* movie has the potential to be very popular, particularly with international audiences.

One Piece

Biggest Movie: Film Red

One Piece is a hugely popular anime series with a number of successful films. Its latest movie, *One Piece: Film Red* from 2022, is its biggest financial success to date. In fact, it’s become one of the top 10 highest-grossing films ever in Japan, and the series still has a lot of room to grow.

While the movie ‘Film Red’ wasn’t officially part of the main One Piece story, a canon movie like ‘Infinity Castle’ has the potential to be incredibly successful if it’s ever made.

Jujutsu Kaisen

Biggest Movie: JJK 0

Jujutsu Kaisen is a hugely popular and best-selling anime series. Its popularity is so immense that fans are eagerly awaiting the next season, making it the most anticipated anime of 2026.

I’ve noticed that *Jujutsu Kaisen* isn’t just popular on TV – its movie releases have been huge successes too. The first movie, *Jujutsu Kaisen 0*, which tells a story that happens before the main series, actually became one of the highest-grossing Japanese films of all time, landing at number eleven! I think another movie based on a major arc from the manga could really be a record-breaker.

Naruto

Biggest Movie: Boruto: Naruto The Movie

I’m a huge fan of *Naruto*, and honestly, it’s one of those series that just *everyone* knows! Even though it finished airing over ten years ago, it still means so much to so many of us, and it’s stayed with me ever since I first watched it.

Fans are eager for more from the Naruto universe, and many would love to see new movies. While *Boruto: Naruto the Movie* was a huge hit, there’s still a lot of story left to tell and a lot of potential to explore.

My Hero Academia

Biggest Movie: You’re Next

The popular anime series *My Hero Academia* is nearing its end, with the final season premiering next week. While fans are excited for the conclusion, there are currently no plans for future animated seasons after this one.

Honestly, I think a movie is exactly what *My Hero Academia* needs right now! I’d absolutely love to see a film that jumps ahead and shows us what life is like for the new generation of Pro Heroes as adults. I truly believe it would be a massive hit with fans – even bigger than the *You’re Next* film, which was already pretty popular!

Hunter X Hunter

Biggest Movie: Phantom Rouge

Hunter X Hunter is a beloved action series, but the manga it’s based on hasn’t been updated very often recently. Despite this, it still has a strong and loyal fanbase eager for new animated episodes or movies.

A movie based on Hunter x Hunter could be very successful, particularly because adapting the latest story arc as a full anime series isn’t likely. A film focusing on the most highly anticipated fight in Hunter x Hunter could be a great approach.

You can now see *Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle* in cinemas! If you can’t wait for the film, the story is also available in manga form on Manga Plus. The anime currently has four seasons, all of which you can stream on Crunchyroll. The rest of the story will be released as movies, so fans will need to see them in theaters when they become available in their country.
