A new trailer has dropped for the upcoming and highly anticipated anime adaptation of Fool Night and in it, fans can hear the opening and ending theme songs.
The main trailer for Fool Night was released with Tempalay performing the opening theme song “Shake! spit out” and Nowlu performing the ending theme song “Iki” which translates to “Breath.” The trailer offers more insight into the Transfloration process, where people who only have a few years to live willingly allow a flower spore to get implanted into their bodies where they play host for a flower in exchange for ten million yen. It’s a procedure that only the most desperate and most destitute choose to undergo.
Atsushi Yukawa will direct the series with Jin Tanaka as the series composition writer. Yota Tsuruoka will be the sound director with Tatsuya Kato composing the music. Robert Sato will design the characters.
The voice viewers heard would be a familiar one for many anime fans. Koki Uchiyama (My Hero Academia, Haikyuu!!, and Oshi no Ko Season 2) will take on the leading role of Toshiro Kamiya. Minako Kotobuki (Tower of God Season 2, Sparks of Tomorrow, and Sound! Euphonium 3) will portray Yomiko Horai, Toshiro’s friend who helps him turn into a plant. Junya Enoki will portray Akira Yatsuka, Aya Endo will voice Saeko Kanaeno, and Kiyomitsu Mizuuchi will portray Jin Hiragishi. Shion Wakayama will voice Sumi Matsuno, Nobuhiko Okamoto as Nishi, Sayaka Senbongi as Meg Okumura, Yumiko Kobayashi as Ivy, and the late Hiroshi Tsuchida as Ken Hikasa.
Known for its avante-garde cinematography, Shaft has animated and produced Monogatari, Puella Magi Madoka Magica, and March Comes In Like a Lion. Sunrise has animated and produced numerous critically acclaimed series including the Gundam series, Inuyasha, Code Geass, and City Hunter.
