Synopsis
Gifted runner Togashi dominates 100m races until transfer student Komiya arrives, motivating him to train harder. Years later, they compete as rivals on the racetrack.
Moviegoers are saying
This Japanese animated film about 100-meter sprinting divides audiences with its bold artistic choices and existential depth. While some praise its stunning visual evolution from traditional animation to rotoscoping and its philosophical approach to competition, others find themselves either mesmerized by its psychological intensity or left wanting more character development.

Just seen the guy who was sitting next to me in the theater go for a dead sprint on the sidewalk outside. Life replicates art. Loved it. The sequence in the rain is unbelievably blocked and visually rendered. Love how the film manages the timeline of the story's events,…
JRLOct 18, 2025Hope starts at the starting line. You crouch down, heart pounding, eyes on the track. In that tiny pause before the gun goes off, you think about everything, the pressure, the dreams, the faith that everything will run its course just as you’ve imagined. Then comes…

100 Meters is less of a sports anime and more of an existential character study. The 100-meter race is used merely as an event. The real focus is on identity, pressure, and questions like “Who am I?”

The animation for this was incredible! Definitely one of my favorite styles so far. Especially the change in animation in certain scenes 😮💨, it really made the anime. I was wondering what the ending reminded me of and I finally remember, it’s really giving Challengers 😂
T loved100 METERS9/10; this movie was fr great, like they did a great job at keeping you in, and the story was just beautiful.
Jackson loved100 METERS9/10 Wish I could’ve watched this all at once for the first time as my flight landed so I had to pause it lol. What a surprise film about a really specific sport, I used to love running the 100M and 200M when I was younger so I connected a bit in some parts and miss it. The story is very true and…

3.5 the animation was beautiful, atmosphere was unique, and makes me feel like I want to run as fast as I can. The rotoscoping was insane, and the music (and lack there of) was beautifully implemented. The ending was good even if a tad bit unsatisfactory, but I understand the ch-
dea loved100 METERS"until you understand your own reality, there's no way you can really escape from it. with your eyes closed to reality is totally different from running with them wide open. straight into reality can be extremely terrifying. You have to accept the things you don't want to accept
Ava loved100 METERSSuch a raw, real, and impactful film. I love how fluid & unique the animation was + the camerawork, it all felt so authentic. Acknowledging the mental stress athletes go through, how it shapes both their performance and identity, and how to overcome it was a powerful message.
- Wen loved100 METERS
One of the most unique, stunning, and impactful animated films I’ve seen this year. First of all, I really can’t stress enough how unique this film is. It really is one of a kind. The animation is mostly rotomation, which you seldom see in Japanese anime, but suits 魚豊’s style and the story’s…
Doctor Doom loved100 METERS100 meters is an average sports movie. It has great moments like the beginning and final race, but it tried to fit in new plot points midway into the movie without expanding them. Overall a decent sports movie that should be the baseline. Finale song and opening fire 🔥🔥🔥 8.5/10
milkluster liked100 METERSa refreshing story on change, frustration, passion, and identity. the initial sweet beginning turns into something unnerving like when one’s light starts to fade. great lessons were learned and taught from all kinds of characters which only deepened their development.

What 100 Meters lacks in narrative subtlety and pacing, it makes up for in dazzling visuals.

To get to the primal thrill of racing, Iwaisawa Kenji uses just about every technique at his disposal.

Exhilarating running sequences are animated with such creative flourishes. It sustains a few of the lulls in this film with thrill and dramatic impact.
