Sunrise x Shaft Collaboration! 'Fool Night' Anime Adaptation Announced for 2026 on Netflix

A monumental collaboration has been unveiled as Sunrise (Bandai Namco Filmworks) and Studio Shaft join forces to adapt Kasumi Yasuda's acclaimed manga 'Fool Night' into an anime series. Set to premiere worldwide exclusively on Netflix in 2026, the announcement was accompanied by a haunting teaser visual and PV that showcase the series' dystopian world where oxygen-deprived humans are transformed into oxygen-producing plants. The voice cast features Kouki Uchiyama as Toshiro Kamiya and Minako Kotobuki as Yomiko Horai, with Atsushi Yukawa taking the director's chair. This adaptation is generating massive buzz due to the rare partnership between two industry giants, promising a unique aesthetic blend that perfectly suits the dark, psychological, and botanical themes of the original manga.
