The classic Japanese tale isn’t just a bedtime story anymore: Josee, the Tiger and the Fish is now an anime film. Debuting as the final act of last year’s Busan International Film Festival, Josee, the Tiger and the Fish put a spell on audiences. After pandemic-related delays, the romantic comedy is landing subbed and dubbed in theaters soon, but what about streaming? Is Josee, the Tiger and the Fish on Netflix, Crunchyroll, or available to rent yet?

Despite the title, the animated rom-com follows two human beings who share an otherworldly bond. Tsuneo is a marine biologist who dreams of studying abroad, which would give him the opportunity to dive into new waters and explore new creatures. He meets Josee, a paraplegic, when he’s hired as her part-time caregiver. Sparks fly, tragedy strikes, and the pair are brought together — i.e., the perfect rom-com formula.

Is Josee, the Tiger and the Fish on Netflix? Where to watch Josee, the Tiger and the Fish:

Nope, it’s not on Netflix — not yet, at least. Josee, the Tiger and the Fish has yet to be made available on any streaming service because it hasn’t been fully released at the moment. Living in New Zealand or Australia? You’re in luck! Those are the only two places where Josee, the Tiger and the Fish is out in theaters.

When will Josee, the Tiger and the Fish be streaming? Where will Josee, the Tiger and the Fish be available to stream?

Josee, the Tiger and the Fish will open in limited theaters across America on July 12. That’s less than a month away. We don’t know where or when, exactly, the movie will be streaming. But Josee, the Tiger and the Fish is produced by Funimation, who host their own streaming service, which could mean it’ll land there.

Where are the older versions of Josee, the Tiger and the Fish available to stream?

There are two other adaptations of the classic Josee short story — one from 2003 and one from just last year. Both are live-action, whereas the new film is an anime. Unfortunately, neither is streaming at the moment — but they have been released! So, uh, maybe some day they’ll be on streaming?
