The upcoming Fool Night anime adaptation has received a main trailer and key visual ahead of its November 26 Netflix release.
The new looks at the science fiction title, an adaptation of the manga by Kasumi Yasuda, came with more cast announcements and details about its theme songs. The former comprise Shion Wakayama as Sumi Matsuno, Hiroshi Tsuchida as Ken Hikasa, Nobuhiko Okamoto as Nishi, Sayaka Sembongi as Meg Okumura, and Yumiko Kobayashi as Ivy.
Fool Night was announced in June as a Sunrise and SHAFT co-production directed by Atsushi Yukawa (Suzume co-unit director) with Jin Tanaka (OSHI NO KO) as series composer and Robert Sato as character designer. Its synopsis reads:
Transfloration— a technology that implants seeds into the bodies of those near death, transforming them into plants. It is the desperate measure humanity has chosen to ensure its survival. In a distant future where thick clouds cover the sky, trapping Earth in constant winter and night, most of the planet’s vegetation has withered away. Facing a serious oxygen shortage, humanity has built a society that relies on the meager amount of oxygen provided by Transfloration. A young man, Toshiro Kamiya, lives in poverty and works hard to pay taxes, cover living expenses, and afford medication for his mentally ill mother. However, the cruel reality around him gradually eats away at his hope. In this dark world full of despair, he chooses the path of the “Spiriflor” — the plants that humans transform into.
The manga started running in Shogakukan’s Big Comic Superior seinen magazine in 2020 and will get its 14th volume on November 30, 2026. Viz Media has it in English.
All episodes of the anime will drop on Netflix at once.
