ghost – end of night has unveiled its full trailer.
Bandai Namco Filmworks has released the trailer for the original anime film. It opens with the 15-year-old protagonist Neekei narrating and then eating a piece of toast. She walks with Masu at dusk through a forest before the trailer goes through a series of different scenes that seem like it’s out of an absurd reality. The theme song, “life,” performed by hitsujibungaku can also be heard. The band also performed the insert song “Sugar.”
Madhouse is animating and producing ghost – end of night with Shingo Natsume directing and writing the script. This marks his first time directing an anime original work. Natsume Ono worked on the original character designs with Norifumi Kugai designing the characters for animation.
Mayu Hotta portrays Neekei and Issei Takahashi voices Masu. Takeo Otsuka plays Neekei’s predecessor, Bora. Kazuhiro Yamaji portrays Ahab, an elderly homeless man who hates teh world, Yuki Shin voices a young man named Structure who also has some special abilities, Hina Yomiya as Mlke, a girl who fears being selected, and Atsumi Tanezaki rounds out the crew as Masu’s son.
According to Anime News Network, Natsume said that he wants the film to be “a work that could be called fictional but is in tune with our current time and seeks realism.”
The film has also inspired a manga adaptation which launched on August 4 in Kadokawa’s Young Ace magazine with the artist himiko adapting the story.
The synopsis is as follows:
I want to know what is ＜real＞.
Set in the near future where labor is no longer necessary, this is the story of Neekei, a girl who continues seeking the “real” while resisting the order of a content society.
The film premieres in Japan on February 11, 2027.
