And the answer is: Japanese theaters usually do not screen anime movies with English subtitles. But, there are some special film events where some anime or live action movies have subtitles. For example, the Tokyo International Film Festival where Weathering With You and other anime films had English subtitles.

Opening a movie wide is insanely expensive. That means spending $20-40 million on advertising nationwide. Even though many anime companies are doing pretty well these days, nobody has that kind of money to spend on just marketing. Heck, that kind of money would produce SEVERAL whole television series!
The distributor has to commit to a marketing plan and budget. The vast majority of anime simply won't make the cut. And if the anime has been released in any other form before, be it streaming, VOD or on video, the answer is an automatic no.

2. Evangelion 3.0 + 1.0 Thrice Upon A Time. Neon Genesis Evangelion is one of the most popular and iconic series in the mecha anime genre. It follows the story of high school student Shinji Ikari as he pilots the powerful Evangelion to fight against the Angels – evil giant monsters out to destroy the Earth.
The long-awaited 2nd movie for Seitokai Yakuindomo will finally hit theatres on the 1st day of 2021. Seitokai Yakuindomo follows the story of Takatoshi Tsuda, the vice-president of the student council in Ousai Private Academy, and his daily school life that’s nothing short of strange.
Detective Conan Movie 24: The Scarlet Bullet is the 24th movie in the Case Closed series. This time, the case is about the World Sports Games (WSG) kidnapping incident in Tokyo. It will follow Shuichi Akai, a mysterious and crafty agent who is in charge of the FBI.
The fourth film, Evangelion 3.0 + 1.0 Thrice Upon A Time, will most likely be Hideaki Anno’s final work. The film was originally set to be released in 2020, but due to the pandemic, it had to be postponed in order for the production to be fully completed.
But 2021 is gearing up to become a better year for anime lovers – here’s a list of 10 new anime movies in 2021 you don’t want to miss out on. 1.
Most anime horror series are referred to as horror because of the monsters, like High School of the Dead. These series tend to be light on what western audiences think of as horror. Still, When They Cry straddles the line.
The reason Fullmetal Alchemist is the best fantasy anime of all time is that it paints a fully realized, unique world with internally consistent rules that have real consequences. Building on that foundation, it delivers a story about two brothers that's as grounded as the setting is fantastic.
Without Dragon Ball, the fighting anime genre as we know it today probably wouldn't exist.
FLCL gets the nod because it's short, sweet, visually beautiful, and somehow extremely relatable. The series only got six episodes, but that plays to its benefit. Each episode is jam-packed with no sagging in the middle.
Puella Magi Madoka Magica is the best magical girl anime because kids, or at least young teens, can enjoy it, but it's mature enough to appeal to a wider audience. It's solidly rooted in the magical girl genre, but with a darker approach and subversion of many genre tropes.
Anime has a reputation for being kid stuff, because of the connection between animation and kids cartoons in the West. The truth is that most anime isn't for kids, as evidenced by all the TV-14, TV-MA, and R ratings on this list. If you're looking for a great anime kids movie, the best place to start is Studio Ghibli.
Honorable mentions : Bleach, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, Mushishi. A lot of fantasy and supernatural anime incorporates fantastic elements into real-world settings, like shinigami descending on Karakura Town in Bleach. Shin Sekai Yori, or From the New World, takes it to a new level. The series starts off a little slow.
The way animation in Anime is continuously being used to create characters which have the depth of a real human being while still staying true to its root of being a cartoon is what makes it unique. Over the past decades, Anime has provided us ...
Kimetsu no Yaiba (April 2019) ‘Kimetsu no Yaiba’ has been in publication since 2016. Due to its popularity, it was given that soon an anime adaptation will be in development. So, it was no surprise to hear that the anime version of ‘Kinetsu no Yaiba’ will be premiering next year in April.
This is a film about the Fantasy genre and let me tell you something the plot is interesting, lovely, and touching. It follows the life of a 4-year-old boy Kun-Chan who solely gets to enjoy his parent’s love and affection but things change after his little sister Mirai is born. He feels she will take his parent’s love from him. One day Kun-Chan storms into the garden which has completely changed. Here he meets an older Mirai and the adventure starts. It’s a classic Anime adventure movie with a tinge of fantasy. I am quite sure every Anime lover will enjoy it.
Goblin Slayer (Oct 2018 onwards) ‘Goblin Slayer’ is an anime that premiered in October. Only four episodes have aired so far. The series received some backlash from the viewers due to a Goblin rape scene.
‘ Kimi no Suizou wo Tabeta’ which translates to ‘I Want to Eat Your Pancreas’ (Yup, I know..) follows the story of a girl Sakura whose has a pancreatic illness.
‘Strike the Blood III’ will be releasing in the coming year in December. It will be an Original Video Animation consisting of ten episodes. I hope it is as good as its predecessors. The plot of ‘Strike the Blood’ deals with vampires. Fourth Primogenitor, the strongest and most legendary of all vampires was only talk. But it seems that if they master the Twelve Kenju they will be the harbinger of catastrophe in the country of Japan. To counteract this the Lion Organization has decided to send a shaman to neutralize the problem. He/she is supposedly a skilled ‘sword shaman’ who can take care of the problem. But turns out they ended up sending a young woman. Will she be good enough for the task? The plot of ‘Strike the Blood III’ will be following the story until the completion Seisen-hen.
Grisaia: Phantom Trigger (Jan 2019) The plot of ‘Grisaia: Phantom Trigger’ is a bit interesting. The series will air in January in the upcoming year. It is a high school genre action anime. CIRS was an anti-terrorist government organization under the collaboration of the US and Japan.
Though writer One is primarily known for his thrilling and subversive One-Punch Man, he has another acclaimed manga under his belt with Mob Psycho 100. It's an excellent coming-of-age story that gets impressively introspective and emotional while blending stunning supernatural elements and action.
Weekly Shonen Jump is regarded as the dominant shonen manga magazine, but their digital Jump+ publication has some inventive hits that deserve their share of the spotlight. Spy x Family is among them and is a fairly new one at that, making its quick impact in the medium impressive.
Amid all the shonen, it'll be great for fans to see the seinen Golden Kamuy anime return for season 4. The manga is gearing up for its climactic finale, and animators Geno Studio have done an admirable job adapting its first three seasons. However, Brain's Base will take the reins of Golden Kamuy for season 4.
Attack on Titan became one of the recent generation's breakout manga and anime series, as it became the go-to anime for audiences that have little to no prior knowledge or interest in the medium altogether.
2020 was massive for MAPPA, with the likes of Attack on Titan season 4 and the underrated Dorohedoro, but Jujutsu Kaisen proved to be one of the next big mainstays in the shonen anime arena. The supernatural and horror-themed action series was praised in large part for its beautifully smooth animation and art style.
The seinen genre/demographic is known for having some critically acclaimed titans like Berserk , Vagabond, and Vinland Saga, but they don't get as many adaptations in the anime sphere. That's part of why the latter's adaptation by former Attack on Titan studio Wit came as such a welcome change of pace.
It's been a long time coming, but Made in Abyss is also getting its second season in 2022 after the first season premiered back in 2017. There was a sequel anime movie that was released sometime after, but another serialized continuation of the story will be welcomed by fans.
The plot is both simple and not: Teenager Kai (voiced by Michael Sinterniklaas in the English dub), recently relocated from Tokyo to the quiet fishing village of Hinashi, spends his days doing what most teenage boys do, sullenly hunkering down in his room and shutting out the world.
While Netflix shine s best with its extensive amount of anime series, there are still plenty of anime films to enjoy after binging JoJo’s or Demon Slayer. We’ve ranked the best 10 anime movies on Netflix, which includes familiar franchises, anthologies, Originals and hard-to-find favorites alike. The streamer’s library shifts all ...
Past attempts have been made to adapt the series into an anime, though none have been able to materialize successfully. That is, until now. With the support of Netflix, Hiroyuki Seshita of Polygon Pictures has delivered that long-awaited Blame! film.
If you were looking for a light, campy and celebratory conclusion, End of Evangelion is not that movie. Instead, what fans were treated to was perhaps one of the most fatalistic, avant garde and, oddly enough, life-affirming endings to an anime series ever produced.
