Sunrise and SHAFT studios announce new anime Fool Night

On June 23, 2026, two animation giants, Sunrise and SHAFT, announced a landmark collaboration to adapt Kasumi Yasuda’s dystopian manga, 'Fool Night,' into a TV anime series.

'Fool Night' is set in a bleak future where sunlight has been absent for a century, leading to a critical oxygen shortage.

To survive, society uses 'transfloration,' a technology that transforms terminally ill humans into plants.

The story centers on Toshiro Kamiya, a young man who decides to undergo the procedure, only to discover he has the unique ability to communicate with plants.

This ability pulls him into a mysterious profession connecting the living with their transformed loved ones.

With a powerhouse staff, including series composer Jin Tanaka and music by Tatsuya Kato, the series is generating massive buzz.
