People Are Turned Into Plants to Save Humanity in New Trailer for Dark Anime Fool Night

Netflix has released the main trailer and a new poster for the dark anime Fool Night, based on Kasumi Yasuda’s manga. The trailer features the series’ opening theme, “Shake! spit out” by Tempalay, and ending theme, “iki” by Nowlu.

The story takes place in the distant future, when Earth has been hidden from the sun by a dense blanket of clouds for a century. Most plants have died, and humanity faces an oxygen shortage. In search of a way to survive, scientists developed transfloration, a technology that implants seeds in the bodies of people who are dying and turns them into plants.

Toshiro Kamiya is barely making ends meet and desperately needs money for his sick mother’s medicine. Seeing no other way out of poverty, he agrees to undergo transfloration. After the procedure, Toshiro discovers an unusual ability: he can hear the voices of people who have turned into plants. The medical facility where he had the operation takes an interest in his gift and hires him. Soon, he is asked to help investigate a series of murders, with one of the people who underwent transfloration as the main suspect.

Fool Night is the first collaboration between studios Sunrise and SHAFT. Atsushi Yukawa directed the series, with Jin Tanaka handling series composition. All episodes will be released on Netflix on November 26, 2026.
