GKIDS will rescreen Baku Kinoshita and Kadzuya Konomoto's anime film The Last Blossom (Housenka) on October 13, the same day it launches digitally. The company had planned only August 30-31 dates, but English subtitles ran several seconds out of sync and some second-day shows were cancelled. GKIDS supplied a corrected version and said it was weighing makeup screenings.
GKIDS first put The Last Blossom in theaters on August 30 and 31. On August 30 the company learned of a subtitling glitch in its DCP and told theaters to pull shows and refund customers; a corrected version went out the next day, but not every theater could update in time and some screenings were cancelled. GKIDS apologized and said it was reviewing options, including makeup screenings of the corrected version.
The October 13 date coincides with the film's digital launch. The film opened in Japan in October 2025 and played in the Feature Film Competition at Annecy in June 2025.
