Quick answer
The Last Blossom, the feature from the creators of ODDTAXI, gets a U.S. theatrical run on August 30 and 31, 2026 through GKIDS. The film opened in Japan on October 10. A home or streaming release has not been dated yet, so these two days are the only confirmed way to watch it in the U.S. for now.
Why the ODDTAXI pedigree matters
ODDTAXI is the rare original TV anime that earned its reputation on writing rather than hype, and it sits near the top of taste-weighted rankings for its year. The same creative team carrying a feature to U.S. theaters is the reason this two-day run is worth circling, even without a streaming date.
What GKIDS confirmed
GKIDS has the North American rights and is running The Last Blossom on August 30-31. That is a limited theatrical window, the distributor's usual play for prestige features before a later home release.
Where to watch
For now: U.S. theaters, August 30-31, via GKIDS. No streaming or digital date has been announced. If you are outside those two days or that region, the honest answer is to wait for a home-video or platform announcement, which we will track here.
Putting it on your radar
When The Last Blossom reaches a platform, you will be able to rate it on SenpaiRanks and see how its Consensus and Quality ranks compare, the same dual-axis read that separated ODDTAXI from the pack.
