What happens

100 Meters is a Japanese sports manga series written and illustrated by Uoto. The story follows a prodigious sprinter named Togashi, whose life becomes intertwined with Komiya, a socially isolated transfer student he introduces to sprinting, unknowingly creating his biggest rival. The manga was originally based on a one-shot called 100'M, it was later serialized online via Kodansha's Magazine Pocket website from November 2018 to August 2019, and was later collected into five tankōbon volumes. An anime film adaptation, produced by Rock 'n' Roll Mountain and directed by Kenji Iwaizawa had its world premiere on June 12 at the 2025 Annecy International Animation Film Festival, followed by a release in Japan on September 19, a limited United States release on October 12, and a limited Australian release on October 16. The film released globally for streaming on Netflix on December 31, 2025. The film features the voice talents of Tori Matsuzaka, Shota Sometani, Kenjiro Tsuda, and Koki Uchiyama. It was licensed for an English-language release in North America by GKIDS and in Australia by Sugoi Co. The film received positive reviews, with critics praising its rotoscoped animation style, and the score of Hiroaki Tsutsumi. The film was also nominated for several awards, including Animation of the Year at the 49th Japan Academy Film Prize. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
