Fool Night Anime Adaptation Launches November 26: New Trailer and English Voice Cast from SHAFT and SUNRISE
The Fool Night anime adaptation has officially announced its release date. The production by SHAFT and SUNRISE will premiere on November 26, 2025. Along with the announcement, a new trailer and the English voice cast were also revealed.
The adaptation is based on the manga of the same name by Kasumi Yasuda. The series has been published in Shogakukan's Big Comic Superior magazine since 2021. Set in a world where the sun has disappeared, the story depicts humanity's struggle to survive by transforming into plants. At the center of the story is Toda, who guides this transformation process. Fool Night was ranked first on the Kono Manga ga Sugoi! male readers' list in 2023 and is published in English by Viz Media.
The two studios behind the production are among the most established names in the anime world. SHAFT is known for the Monogatari series and Puella Magi Madoka Magica, while SUNRISE has created legendary works such as Mobile Suit Gundam and Code Geass. The co-production by the two studios is a clear sign of confidence in the project. The new trailer highlights the series' gloomy atmosphere and character-driven narrative.
The announcement of the English voice cast signals that Fool Night will reach a global audience. The anime will be available not only in Japan but also on international platforms. This will serve as an entry point to the series for viewers who have not had access to the manga before.
With its genre-defying story, Fool Night is poised to be one of the most notable productions of the autumn season. The manga, which questions what it means to be human through the concepts of death and transformation, retains this depth in its anime adaptation. The series, starting on November 26, awaits both manga fans and new viewers.
