Banana Fish is set to stream on Netflix in select regions from August 12, with a Blu-ray release from Anime Limited planned for early 2027. A pop-up shop themed around the manga's Cape Cod summer runs in Shibuya from August 28 to September 6.
The Banana Fish television anime, adapted from Akimi Yoshida's manga, is moving to new homes after leaving Amazon Prime Video. Netflix will add the series in select regions on August 12, with English and French dubs available. The anime previously streamed on Prime Video, which briefly added AI-generated dubs before removing them. The 2018 MAPPA adaptation, directed by Hiroko Utsumi, updates the setting to modern-day New York.
Anime Limited has licensed the series for release in the United Kingdom, North America, and France, planning a Blu-ray Disc release in early 2027. This secures a physical edition for the series after its removal from Prime Video. The Netflix stream offers a new digital home with official dubs.
A pop-up shop titled "That Summer." runs August 28 to September 6 at SHIBUYA109 Shibuya store's 8th floor DISP!!! space. The event sells 20 original goods items using original artwork, priced from 400 to 5,000 yen, with a simultaneous mail order via Kadokawa's Kadostore. The theme references "1985 Cape cod," directly invoking the manga's ending.
