The theatrical anime film Gekijouban Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu — based on the manga by Norio Sakurai, serialized in Akita Shoten’s Champion Cross — is now available for unlimited streaming exclusively on Amazon Prime Video. No other major platform carries the film.

Streaming Availability (as of July 2026)

A survey of major video-on-demand services confirms that Amazon Prime Video is the only platform offering the film on an unlimited, exclusive basis. DMM TV, U-NEXT, dAnime Store, Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, Lemino, FOD, TELASA, and ABEMA do not carry it in any form — neither subscription streaming nor rental.

• Amazon Prime Video — Unlimited streaming (exclusive); from ¥600/month; 30-day free trial
• DMM TV / U-NEXT / dAnime Store / Netflix / others — Not available
• TVer / YouTube — Not available (YouTube carries only the trailer and theme song special video)

Because the title is an Amazon exclusive, DVD rental-by-mail services such as TSUTAYA DISCAS also do not carry it.

Amazon Prime Video — The Only Way to Watch

The exclusive streaming window opened on July 13, 2026, approximately five months after the film’s theatrical release on February 13, 2026. Prime members can watch as many times as they like at no extra cost.

New subscribers can take advantage of a 30-day free trial. Cancelling before the trial ends incurs no monthly charge, making it a low-risk option for viewers who want to watch just this film.

Story and Highlights

The film reedits the television series through the perspective of protagonist Kyotaro Ichikawa and adds brand-new footage not seen in the TV run.

Synopsis

Kyotaro Ichikawa is a middle-school boy who keeps to himself, nursing a head full of dark fantasies while going unnoticed by his classmates. He quietly fixates on Anna Yamada — the class’s most popular girl and a working model. A chance encounter in the school library slowly closes the distance between these two opposites. The theatrical cut retells this first-love story entirely from Kyotaro’s point of view.

Key Highlights

• Ichikawa’s perspective recut — Iconic scenes from the TV series are reframed around Kyotaro’s inner feelings, making his growing attachment to Yamada more vivid than ever.
• All-new footage — A live-performance scene featuring Kyotaro’s older sister Kana, plus special moments between Kyotaro and Yamada, were produced exclusively for the theatrical version.
• Yorushika’s theme song “Akane” (茜) — Written specifically for the film, the track captures the bittersweet brightness of adolescence and lingers long after the credits roll.

Voice Cast

• Kyotaro Ichikawa — Shun Horie
• Anna Yamada — Hina Hitsujimiya
• Kana Ichikawa (older sister) — Yukari Tamura
• Chihiro Kobayashi — Ayaka Asai
• Moeko Sekine — Megumi Han
• Serina Yoshida — Atsumi Tanezaki
• Haruya Nanjo — Nobunaga Shimazaki

The entire cast carries over from the TV series. Yukari Tamura is particularly prominent in the new live-performance sequence added for the theatrical cut.
