Ryuu to sobakasu no hime watch online

Suzu is a 17-year-old high-school student living in a rural town with her father. Wounded by the loss of her mother at a young age, Suzu one day discovers the massive online world "U" and dives into this alternate reality as her avatar, Belle. Before long, all of U's eyes are fixed on Belle, when, suddenly, a mysterious, dragon-like figure appears before her.

When Suzu felt that writing music was her only remaining purpose in life, she discovers the huge online space known as “U”, where she takes on her personality, Belle. Another me, another reality, we are no longer limited to one world. Suzu quickly realizes that when she’s inside “U” as her avatar, Belle, she can sing quite naturally. As he continues to show his own music in the virtual world, he quickly becomes the rising star of “U”. However, that surprise is short-lived. Suddenly, a mysterious dragon-shaped creature appears before her …

To Suzu, singing with her mother was the greatest thing in the world, but ever since her death, she hasn’t been able to sing a single note.

Somewhere along the line, she drifts apart from her father and closes her heart to the real world. Writing songs is the only thing keeping her going, until one day she casually decides to create an avatar she names Belle in the virtual world of U—an online space where a community of more than 5 billion users gather.

Thirteen girls have been brought to Fuuka Academy to battle mysterious creatures known as Orphans, each with the ability to materialize “Elements” and summon metallic guardians known as “Childs.” They must decide who they truly care about and why they fight, each with a different personality and background.

It wasn’t long before she and her father grew increasingly distant from each other, and Suzu closed her heart to the rest of the world.

Belle (Ryuu to Sobakasu no Hime)

The move is said to have premiered a day or two ago but I can't find a way to watch it. Is it only available in Japanese theatres or something? I mean, covid is still kind of a thing so I don't imagine anyone's doing any theatrical-exclusive movies yet, but I could be wrong?

You're partly right. I was confused too since it seems all movies coming out have streaming at the same time as theatrical release. But looking further, I found that paramount is releasing Snake Eyes (and some other films) as theater only for 45 days before doing streaming. But your statement that "movies are never available online right when they first premiere " is kind of off since Disney and WB have done done that very exact thing.
