A new two-part anime compilation film in the Inazuma Eleven franchise titled Inazuma Eleven The Movie 2025 has been announced to premiere in Japan on December 27, 2024. The double feature will consist of the films Eiga Inazuma Eleven Soshūhen: Densetsu no Kickoff and Gekijoban Inazuma Eleven: Aratanaru Eiyu-tachi no Josho.
Two new key visuals for the films were also released on the Inazuma Eleven Twitter account, as well as a promotional trailer.
The first half of the film compiles the Inazuma Eleven: Football Frontier-Hen, while the second half serves as a prologue to the franchise’s latest game Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road. MAPPA is handling the production of both the game’s animated footage and the anime prologue film. OLM is credited with the animation production for the first compilation film.
Akihiro Hino (Megaton Musashi, Yo-Kai Watch) is directing and writing the scripts for both anime films. The game’s voice cast members are also reprising their roles in the prologue film.
The Inazuma Eleven game franchise has inspired multiple TV anime adaptations, starting with the first three-season Inazuma Eleven series in 2008, the three-season Inazuma Eleven GO in 2011, and Inazuma Eleven Ares and its sequel Inazuma Eleven: Orion no Kokuin in 2018.
It has also inspired four anime films, the Inazuma Eleven: Outer Code short series, and the alternate epilogue episode to Ares, Inazuma Eleven: Reloaded.
