The animated film " 100 Meters, " based on the manga by Uoto , known for " Orb: On the Movements of the Earth (Chi: Chikyu no Undo ni Tsuite) " (which was also adapted into a TV anime), has surpassed 800 million yen in box office revenue. The film has also attracted over 540,000 viewers. Released on September 19, 2025, the film has enjoyed a long and successful run.
It was also announced that the anime will be collaborating with the "110th Japan Athletics Championships," which will be held at Paloma Mizuho Stadium in Aichi Prefecture from June 12th to 14th. The Japan Championships are a competition that brings together Japan's top athletes and also appeared in the anime's climax. A new collaboration visual drawn by character designer Keisuke Kojima has been released. Original collaboration goods will be sold, songs from the anime will be used at the competition, and interviews with the director and cast are also planned.
" 100 Meters" is Uoto's debut serialized work, which ran from 2018 to 2019 on Kodansha's web manga app "Magazine Pocket (Magapoke)". It depicts the madness and passion of those who are captivated by the fleeting brilliance of the "100m (meter)" race, which lasts less than 10 seconds, in the world of track and field.
The anime will be directed by Kenji Iwaizawa, who was nominated for an Annie Award for his work on "music," and produced by Rockn'Roll Mountain, who also handled the music for the original series.
