Overview
- Netflix announced the Fool Night anime at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival on June 23, 2026, and released first‑look images plus a teaser trailer.
- The adaptation is a formal co‑production between Sunrise and Shaft, an uncommon joint leadership that blends Sunrise’s large‑scale environments with Shaft’s stylized, psychological visuals.
- The series is based on Kasumi Yasuda’s manga about a future oxygen crisis and a technology called Transfloration that turns near‑death humans into plants to generate oxygen.
- Key creative staff named at the reveal include director Atsushi (Atsuyuki) Yukawa, series composer Jin Tanaka, sound director Yota Tsuruoka, and composer Tatsuya Kato.
- Netflix confirmed Fool Night will stream exclusively on its platform sometime in 2026 but has not announced a precise premiere date or any cast members, leaving the release schedule and voice lineup as next items to watch.
