Ranking high on the global charts is That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime The Movie: Scarlet Bond. The film held advance screenings in Tokyo on November 9, 2022, before its nationwide Japanese release on November 25. The film has seen a massive resurgence in May 2026. The movie introduces an original story written by the light novel creator, Fuse. It centers on a mysterious survivor of the Ogre village named Hiiro, who shares a complicated past with Benimaru.
Produced by Studio Eight Bit, the film is praised for its vibrant animation and for expanding the “Jura Tempest Federation” lore. Unlike many “filler” anime movies, Scarlet Bond feels essential because it explores the political landscape of the neighboring kingdom of Raja. Its current popularity on Crunchyroll proves that the “Slime” franchise remains a powerhouse in the isekai genre.
2. Chainsaw Man — The Movie: Reze Arc
The undisputed king of the charts right now is Chainsaw Man — The Movie: Reze Arc. After a record-breaking theatrical run, its arrival on Crunchyroll has caused a massive spike in platform traffic. This film covers one of the most beloved segments of Tatsuki Fujimoto’s manga, focusing on the complex relationship between the protagonist, Denji, and a mysterious girl named Reze.
What starts as a tender, rain-soaked romance quickly spirals into a high-octane battle involving the Bomb Devil, showcasing MAPPA’s elite-tier animation and cinematic direction. By choosing to adapt this specific arc as a movie rather than part of a second season, the producers have created a prestige viewing experience.

Rounding out the top three is Attack on Titan, specifically the theatrical compilation titled The Last Attack. This 145-minute feature presents the series finale in a cinematic format.. In fact, the movie is coming to theaters for one day across the United States and Canada on May 18, 2026. Meanwhile, its presence in the Top 3 on May 13, 2026, suggests that the “Titan” legacy is far from over.
The movie follows the “Battle of Heaven and Earth,” where the remaining members of the Scout Regiment attempt to stop Eren Yeager’s Rumbling from destroying the world. The depth of the storytelling, which touches on themes of freedom, cyclical hatred, and sacrifice, continues to resonate with new and old viewers alike.
The dominance of these three titles signifies a broader change in how the anime industry operates. In 2026, the “Mugen Train effect” is still going strong, with studios opting to put their biggest budgets into movies that can be marketed as global events. Crunchyroll’s current trending list proves that fans are willing to revisit older stories like Scarlet Bond or Attack on Titan if they are presented with cinematic quality.
