The Big Four of 2025

Chainsaw Man the Movie: Reze Arc

Beneath the leadership of a new director, the intensely brutal movie adaptation of Tatsuki Fujimoto’s renowned manga series, Chainsaw Man, is making its comeback. Titled Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc, this film chronicles Denji’s ongoing quest to win the heart of a girl while juggling his demanding job as a Devil Hunter. Unbeknownst to him, his personal and professional lives are poised for a dramatic confrontation, filled with intense violence. With a revitalized visual style, this movie seems primed to captivate both supporters and skeptics of the first season alike.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle

Isn’t it intriguing that the film release of “Chainsaw Man” coincides with the finale of “Demon Slayer” this year, as the latter has been instrumental in initiating the current wave of faithful anime adaptations from manga series? The groundbreaking “Mugen Train” from 2020 set new standards, and now “Infinity Castle” is receiving the “Fate/Stay Night: Heaven’s Feel” treatment; Ufotable is pulling out all the stops with a cinematic trilogy. Whether you’re deeply invested or just casually interested, it’s tough not to feel excited about such an epic conclusion.

Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie – Walpurgisnacht: Rising

For more than ten years now, the Madoka Magica the Movie: Rebellion has passed, much like the Evangelion Rebuilds before it. However, unlike those long-awaited sequels that seemed destined to remain in limbo, this franchise miraculously returned. While much has been said about it over the past decade, the mere knowledge that a new chapter awaits and witnessing it leaves fans speechless. The stunning, poignant visuals and Yuki Kajiura’s moving score ensure an unforgettable experience in theaters for any fan.

Lupin the IIIrd the Movie

Have you noticed that it’s been nearly three decades since we last saw a full-length 2D Lupin III film? Few animes are as enduringly popular as Lupin, and even fewer have managed to maintain their relevance over time like this one. This upcoming movie is special because it continues the more mature interpretation of the classic anime series by Takeshi Koike, and we hope it will finally provide some closure for the unresolved plot points from his previous three short films.

The Rose of Versailles

As a passionate admirer, let me share my excitement for “The Rose of Versailles,” a captivating shojo classic that delves into the life of Marie Antoinette and her unique bond with Captain Oscar Francois de Jarjayes, a woman disguised as a man to uphold her family’s military tradition. This groundbreaking manga sparked an incredible wave of interest in French culture and tourism among the Japanese audience, and the upcoming film promises to preserve its legacy with enthusiasm. The movie is set to premiere in Japan towards the end of this month, with hopes that a global release will follow soon!

Make a Girl

The film “Make a Girl”, notable due to its interesting backstory, was brought to life by director Gensho Yasuda and his small team, who successfully crowdfunded its production. Originally an animated short from 2020, it has been expanded into a full-length feature film featuring a stunningly rendered 3D CG art style. The narrative revolves around a scientist creating a robot girlfriend, whose growing self-awareness clashes with her pre-programmed emotions, leading to a captivating cyber love story brimming with unexpected twists and turns.

Mononoke the Movie: Chapter II – Fire Rat

This is the sequel to the “Mononoke” film trilogy, which started with last year’s captivating and chilling movie titled “Phantom in the Rain”. In this continuation, following his exorcism of a Mononoke residing in the Ōoku, the Medicine Seller discerns that there are multiple spirits present. This discovery compels him to delve further into the depths of the harem in order to entice them out.

Hateshinkai Scarlet

Film director Mamoru Hosoda recently unveiled details about his upcoming movie, slated for release in late 2025. Not many specifics have been revealed yet about the film titled “Scarlet,” but Hosoda promises a fresh visual style that breaks away from traditional 2D anime and Hollywood computer-generated imagery (CGI). Intriguingly, he’s suggested that the movie’s plot is inspired by a universally recognized classic, while also indicating that this project might deviate somewhat from his past creations. Hosoda is renowned for directing movies like “The Girl Who Leapt Through Time,” “Summer Wars,” “Wolf Children,” “The Boy and The Beast,” and “Mirai.
