100 Meters follows Togashi, a track star who is born to run. As a kid, he is naturally gifted and wins every 100-meter race without effort. But in sixth grade, he meets Komiya, a transfer student who is full of determination but lacks technique. In teaching him, Togashi gives Komiya a new purpose: to win no matter what. Years pass by, and Togashi and Komiya meet again as rivals on the track and reveal their true selves.

What 100 Meters lacks in narrative subtlety and pacing, it makes up for in dazzling visuals. Using rotoscoping, in which animation is traced over live-action footage, the film creates stunningly detailed running sequences.

It’s a great sports movie about the urge to be great at sports, and it’s one of the smartest movies the genre has produced in a long time.

Like the distance its sprinters dash over and over again, it’s predictable—even mundane at times. But also like those short bursts of all-out adrenaline, it can be transcendent in the moment.

100 Meters, in its quiet heartbreaks and subtle humor, is tremendous. A breathless and breathtaking example of the limitless possibilities for animation.

If 100 Meters occasionally dips its toe into formula... it’s no real matter: come for the races and you’ll walk away having experienced one of the most purely entertaining films of the year.

Kenji Iwaisawa’s engrossing rotoscoping animated feature of Uoto’s manga series explores the existential depth of sprinting.

Great film! Story, artwork, editing, all great! I don’t understand why it was only 3days in theater. Anyhow, I can’t wait to watch it again.

Loved the film! The rotoscoping animation style threw me off a bit, but I'd like to think it's because they wanted to capture the kinetic motion of an actual sprinter in action.

if you love the manga series, then this movie is for you. if not, then this is just a collection of artistic styles that happen to have a story about track and field and the importance of self reflection in life. The music is the only good part of the movie unfortunately.
