The movie Suzume now has a new streaming home, as Netflix announced the film is now there. Subscribers can catch it on the service.Â
Suzume first showed up in theaters in Japan in November 2022. Crunchyroll then picked it up and confirmed it would appear in US and UK theaters in April 2023. After that, Suzume was streaming outside Japan on Crunchyroll as of November 2023. It is still on that service as well, in case someone doesn’t have a Netflix subscription.
In case you missed it, Suzume lives in Kyushu and lives a rather ordinary life. After she meets a man named Souta, she learns that strange doors can show up in spaces around Japan. After happening upon one, she ends up disturbing a statue of a cat near it. As a result, there’s a disruption that could lead to a cataclysmic and supernatural entity wreaking havoc on the real world if she doesn’t accompany Souta in heading to these doors and finding the missing guardian she inadvertently set set loose.
In case you missed it, here’s the official movie trailer for Suzume.
This is one of multiple films from Makoto Shinkai that is found its way onto Netflix. In the past, Your Name and Weathering with You were also there.
Suzume is now streaming on Crunchyroll and Netflix, though Netflix didn’t note how long it will offer the film on the service.
