Anime fans have another major title to anticipate as the critically praised sports drama 100 Meters is finally heading to a global streaming platform. The film, adapted from Uoto’s debut sports manga, quietly gained strong critical support during its theatrical run in October but did not receive the same mainstream spotlight as mega releases like Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle and Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc. Now, audiences worldwide will have the chance to watch it from home.
The emotional sports drama will be available exclusively on Netflix starting December 31, 2025, just in time for New Year’s Eve streaming festivities. The announcement was confirmed earlier today through the official Netflix Anime social channels, generating excitement across the anime community.
When Will 100 Meters Stream Online?
The 100 Meters anime movie will begin streaming December 31, 2025, only on Netflix. The film’s digital debut arrives alongside another highly anticipated release, Stranger Things Season 5 Vol. 3, giving fans a powerful lineup to close the year.
Produced by Rock’n Roll Mountain, the movie adapts Uoto’s acclaimed manga, continuing the momentum from Uoto’s earlier success with Orb: On the Movements of the Earth, which became a fan-favorite title after its anime adaptation by Madhouse last year.
What Is 100 Meters About?
The film follows Togashi, a natural prodigy in sprinting who dominates every 100-meter race without trying. Everything changes when he meets Komiya, a transfer student driven by fierce determination but lacking running technique. Togashi becomes Komiya’s mentor, inspiring him to chase victory with relentless dedication.
Years later, the two meet again—this time as fierce rivals on the same track. The film explores themes of rivalry, friendship, discipline, and the emotional spirit of sports. The story resonated strongly with viewers for its grounded realism and powerful, character-driven storytelling.
A Standout Anime for 2025
While the movie remained under the radar, reviewers have praised Rock’n Roll Mountain’s animation style, calling the adaptation faithful and deeply moving. Anime fans have described 100 Meters as one of the most inspiring sports films of the year, and many believe it will gain much wider recognition after its streaming debut.
With Netflix continuing to build a massive anime library, the platform is positioning 100 Meters as a headline title to attract both sports genre enthusiasts and followers of Uoto’s work.
Fans can expect visually striking race sequences, emotional storytelling, and character arcs that capture the spirit of competition.
