For example, the Tokyo International Film Festival where Weathering With You and other anime films had English subtitles.

Japanese producers will almost never allow an international home video release of any anime before the domestic Japanese one, particularly if it's a newer show. And if you're waiting for a US or UK release of an anime feature, that wait can seem particularly ENDLESS.

The distributor has to commit to a marketing plan and budget. The vast majority of anime simply won't make the cut. And if the anime has been released in any other form before, be it streaming, VOD or on video, the answer is an automatic no.
This greatly prolongs the theatrical release. If a film is successful, it will stay in theaters for months and months. your name.
Miss Hokusai ( Sarusuberi) only took 6 1/2 months. A Silent Voice comes out in a little over a month from the date of this article, which would be a gap of roughly 8 months since its theatrical release. Meanwhile, One Piece Film Gold came out on DVD only five months after its theatrical run.
The Wind Rises had an 11 month gap between its theatrical and DVD release. Miss Hokusai ( Sarusuberi) only took 6 1/2 months.
Japanese media companies move slowly. Piracy is very minimal, so there's no great rush to get content out to consumers. Japan is often one of the last countries to see releases of American films (Moana, Moonlight and Passengers are currently in theaters).
So, yes, anime features do take a lot of time to make it out on DVD and Blu-ray. If you're jonesing for a shiny disc of your name. I'm afraid you're in for quite a wait.
