7. Mononoke
Ashitaka is an Emishi prince who kills a demon attacking his village but, in turn, gets cursed, gaining strength and a fatal illness. Seeking a cure, he encounters Iron Town, led by Lady Eboshi, and San (Princess Mononoke), a human raised by wolves who despises humans.

Watch as the duo tries to solve this human-nature conflict with all their might in the summer of 2024.
8. Your Colour
Totsuko, a high school student, can see people’s emotions through color. To keep her friends and family from fighting and feeling sad, she worries, reads situations, and even lies to smooth things over.
She meets a music-loving youngster trying to form a band and a stunning woman with a charming color at an antique bookshop on a corner in Nagasaki.
The story follows these three sensitive people who gather together to play in a band. The movie doesn’t have a release date yet but is scheduled to premiere in 2024.
9. Blue Lock – Episode Nagi
Watch the entirety of Blue Lock up to this point through the eyes of Nagi in this unreleased movie.
As the teaser clarifies, viewers may expect to see some never-before-seen sequences in the film. The movie will show how Reo Mikage convinced Nagi Seishiro to take up football and build his dream of winning the World Cup.
The two players will collaborate for the first time during this game versus high school football teams.
Fans will also get to witness how Zantetsu and the two players bond to overcome the teams W, X, and Y. Finally, the match between Team V and Team Z—the event that provided Nagi the opportunity to surpass Yoichi Isagi, the primary series protagonist—might be the film’s focal point.
10. Madoka Magica: Walpurgis Rising
The movie continues from the anime series “Puella Magi Madoka Magica,” following the events of “Rebellion.”
The upcoming movie starts after Homura’s transformation into the “Devil.” The plot emphasizes the theme of dreams, likely involving dream sequences and illusions.
The movie’s focal point is Walpurgis, a witch known to cause calamity, leading to the world’s end if left unchecked. Walpurgis is an alternate timeline’s version of Madoka, the most potent magical girl who, according to magic rules, transforms into the most powerful witch after despairing.
In this world, the Law of the Cycle, responsible for preventing Walpurgis’s destruction, seems absent or broken. Instead, a character named Madoka exists.
