The number of animated movies produced for movie theaters in Japan amounted to 76 in 2021. The number of anime movies showed a steady increase in the first half of the 2010s and reached its highest point with 91 movies produced in 2019. One factor that contributed to the increase observed during the decade was the digitalization of production and screening, which made a higher output possible. The drop in 2020 was largely due to the effects of COVID-19 during that year, which in many cases led to a postponement of screenings.
