Anime Movie Posters Collection | MPA
This collection groups all Anime movie posters and ephemera together for easy search, sort, and filtering, offering a gripping archive of cinematic suspense. This collection is a vivid celebration of the colourful, expressive, and emotionally rich world of anime cinema, encapsulated through striking and evocative movie posters that capture the magic of the genre’s artistry and storytelling. Whether you're a longtime otaku, a seasoned collector, or new to Japanese animation, this collection offers a powerful window into the imagination and heart of anime film.
Spanning the classics to modern masterpieces, the Anime movie posters in this collection reflect the evolution of animated storytelling in Japan—from hand-drawn epics to cutting-edge digital creations. These posters are more than just promotional items; they are works of art in their own right, often featuring stunning compositions, emotive characters, and meticulous design reflective of the genre's unique aesthetic.
One of the most iconic titles in this collection is Akira (1988), a groundbreaking film directed by Katsuhiro Otomo that redefined what anime could achieve in terms of animation quality and thematic depth. The poster, featuring Kaneda walking toward his red motorcycle against a stark backdrop, has become one of the most recognisable images in anime history. A perfect fusion of cyberpunk style and existential themes, Akira (1988) is a cornerstone of both anime cinema and poster art.
Another standout piece is the mesmerising Spirited Away (2001) poster, created for Studio Ghibli’s Oscar-winning masterpiece directed by Hayao Miyazaki. Its mystical visuals and the depiction of the young protagonist Chihiro, standing before a spirit-filled bathhouse, perfectly echo the film's dreamlike narrative and richly layered world. The poster’s elegant composition and colours exemplify the Ghibli tradition of beauty, wonder and nostalgia.
Equally compelling is the poster for Ghost in the Shell (1995), a sci-fi noir thriller that explores identity, consciousness and technology. Its poster art, combining stark digital visuals with cybernetic motifs, captures the philosophical tone of the film and remains a staple in any serious anime movie poster collection. For fans of futuristic themes, this poster bridges anime and global sci-fi culture seamlessly.
From the emotional drama of Your Name (2016), with its star-crossed lovers and visually dazzling backdrop of cityscapes and cosmic phenomena, to the haunting melancholy of Grave of the Fireflies (1988)—each poster tells a story of its own. Your Name (2016), directed by Makoto Shinkai, is represented in this collection by a beautifully detailed poster that mirrors the film’s mix of youthful romance and time-bending fate. Grave of the Fireflies (1988), meanwhile, uses a subdued and sombre design that echoes the poignant tragedy at the heart of its narrative.
The collection also includes posters from popular franchise films such as My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising (2019) and Demon Slayer: Mugen Train (2020). These action-packed titles appeal to a younger generation of anime fans, and their posters burst with energy, vivid character poses, and dynamic colour schemes. Demon Slayer: Mugen Train (2020) in particular shattered box office records and its powerful poster imagery—featuring flame-wielding warriors and supernatural threats—cements it as a modern classic.
This carefully curated collection also features works from acclaimed auteurs such as Mamoru Hosoda, including The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (2006) and Belle (2021). The posters from his films are notable for their vibrant, painterly quality and emotional resonance. Each of Hosoda’s posters encapsulates the sense of fantasy and youthful introspection found within his stories.
In addition, lesser-known gems such as Perfect Blue (1997) by Satoshi Kon find their place here. The psychological thriller’s poster is a chilling, elegant visual that hints at the fractured reality and identity crisis that define the film. It’s a fine example of how anime posters can be both aesthetically captivating and conceptually loaded.
Not to be overlooked, this collection also shines a spotlight on films like Paprika (2006), A Silent Voice (2016), and Weathering with You (2019)—all of which showcase the genre’s range, from psychedelic dreamscapes to deeply human dramas and awe-inspiring natural elements. Their posters are as emotionally evocative as the films themselves, making them invaluable pieces for any collector.
Whether you are drawn to epic sagas, introspective dramas, or fantastical adventures, this bold and diverse Anime movie posters collection is sure to offer something meaningful. Each poster is a tangible piece of anime history and visual storytelling—perfect for collectors, designers, fans, and film lovers alike.
