anime movies 2021

New year, new resolution. For me, it's time to welcoming new anime. Last year, we have Youjo Senki, Code Geass, and Fate/stay Night: Heaven Feel II. This year, popular titles such as Violet Evergarden, Doraemon and Digimon coming in theaters.

Nothing is too early, especially to good news. Currently, we have at least 15 confirmed anime movies coming in 2021.

The pandemic happened this year has affected the anime industry. Make them rescheduled so many works that originally produced or released early this year, including anime film. So, what your thought about what happened this year? Well, whatever it is, we are all wishes for the better year in the next year.
