Anime fans and sports lovers, get ready — Hyakuemu, the upcoming sports anime movie from Orb: On the Movements of the Earth creator Uoto, has just dropped its first trailer, and it’s already making waves!
🎬 A Fresh Take on Sports Anime
Hyakuemu (which translates to “100 Meters”) dives deep into the emotionally charged world of athletics. It’s not just about speed — it’s about passion, pressure, and the personal cost of chasing greatness. The story follows a prodigious runner with extraordinary speed as he navigates the ups and downs of his sprinting career, all leading toward the 100-meter dash — one of the most intense and symbolic events in track sports.
The trailer teases high-octane sequences, personal rivalries, and a grounded story filled with inner conflict. If you’re into character-driven sports anime like Run with the Wind or Blue Lock but with a more realistic and mature lens, this one might be for you.
✍️ Uoto Returns — But With a Twist
Uoto made waves with the critically acclaimed Orb: On the Movements of the Earth, a dark, philosophical historical drama. With Hyakuemu, he’s entering completely different territory — but if anyone can turn the sprinting track into a narrative battlefield, it’s him.
His eye for character psychology and emotional storytelling is what makes this sports story one to watch. Expect more than just races — expect an introspective journey through obsession, identity, and resilience.
🖌️ Who’s Behind the Animation?
Orb: On the Movements of the Earth
The film is being animated by Rock ‘n’ Roll Mountain, a newer studio with a flair for dynamic, gritty motion. The trailer shows off fluid, kinetic animation and intensely choreographed sprint scenes that look like they’re ready to blow audiences away.
From the muscle tension of the runners to the sweat, dirt, and sunlight on the track — this movie looks to be a visual tour de force. If you liked the visual style of Ping Pong the Animation or Haikyuu!!‘s climactic matches, keep your eyes on this.
