Makoto Shinkai’s Your Name returns to cinemas in 4K — but where can you stream it, and when can you catch it on the big screen?
The 10th‑anniversary 4K remaster of Your Name. is headed back to North American theaters on August 14, 2026, with distributor GKIDS booking both subtitled screenings (Japanese audio with English subs) and an English‑dubbed version. It’s the first time the Makoto Shinkai hit will return to the big screen in a newly remastered 4K presentation.
Your Name. returns to North American theaters in a remastered 4K edition on August 14, 2026.
How to watch in the U.S.
If you want to revisit it before the theatrical run, you’ve got several streaming options right now:
- Crunchyroll — available to stream in the U.S.
- Prime Video Channels — accessible as an add‑on inside Amazon’s Prime Video.
- YouTube — available with a YouTube subscription.
Crunchyroll plans start at $9.99/month in the U.S., with premium tiers up to $17.99, and new users get a 7‑day free trial. If you’re going the Amazon route, Prime Video can be subscribed to on its own for $8.99/month, or as part of a full Amazon Prime membership at $14.99/month or $139/year.
For anyone who’s heard about it but never jumped in: Shinkai’s romantic fantasy follows two teenagers—Mitsuha in rural Itomori and Taki in Tokyo—who begin mysteriously swapping bodies across distance and, eventually, time. Their connection collides with a looming comet disaster and a race to change fate, which helped turn the 2016 film into a modern anime landmark.
After its limited theatrical engagement, the remaster heads to home shelves: a 4K UHD Steelbook and Blu‑ray arrive on August 25, 2026 via Shout!.
