[ad_1]

With the rise of new works such as One Piece Film Red, Jujutsu Kaisen 0 or Kimetsu No Yaiba: Mugen Train, the TOP 10 highest-grossing anime rankings of all time in Japan have changed a lot. Here, invite you to join Lag to see the latest updated rankings.

Anime movie is a word used to refer to animated movie titles that are shown in cinemas. Anime movies have been indispensable works of the Japanese film industry and are now growing more and more. Every year, many anime movies are released. However, not all names have achieved the expected box office revenue. The ranking of the highest-grossing anime movies, therefore, did not change much for a long time… until the “new blockbusters” landed.

In the following article, Lag will send you the latest updated TOP 10 highest-grossing anime movies of all time in Japan (as of 2022). Let’s see where the new names appear and which are the highest-grossing anime movies!

1. Kimetsu No Yaiba: Mugen Train – Demon Slayer: Endless Train

Sales in Japan: 40,430,000,000 yen.

Global gross: $506,523,013 USD.

The year 2019 – 2020 is the time when Kimetsu No Yaiba explodes all over the world. The anime version is done so well that made the original manga extremely popular, thereby quickly achieving sales of more than 100 million copies. The title Kimetsu No Yaiba: Mugen Train in theaters was also immediately well received, to the point that the film became the only title in Japan to surpass the half-billion dollar mark worldwide.

2. Spirited Away

Spirited Away

Sales in Japan: 31,680,000,000 yen.

Global gross: $395,580,000.

Your Name

Global gross: $380,140,500.

Coming in at number 3 is Your Name, directed by Makoto Shinkai. Despite creating a huge buzz, Your Name still failed to defeat Spirited Away. I don’t know if the next anime movie directed by Makoto Shinkai can do what my “senior” once failed?

Weathering With You

Sales in Japan: 14,190,000,000 yen.

Global gross: 193,715,360 USD.

Although it cannot overcome the shadow of Your Name, Weathering With You is still a very successful anime movie by director Makoto Shinkai. Although it is currently in TOP 7 but perhaps this title will drop soon because the 8th position will appear later.

Well, in the ranking of the highest grossing movies in Japan, The Wind Rises ranked 11. This means that if all Japanese movies are ranked, the TOP 10 still has 9 anime movies above and only one movie. Just enough to get in there!
