Shingo Natsume, Madhouse's ghost – end of night Original Anime Film Unveils Teaser, Cast

The official website for ghost – end of night (ghost/yoru no hate), Shingo Natsume and Madhouse's new theatrical anime project, unveiled a new teaser trailer for the anime film on Friday. The teaser reveals the film's two lead cast members.

The main cast members include:

Mayu Hotta as Neekei

Issei Takahashi as Masu (Character name romanization not official)

The film will open in Japan on February 11, 2027.

Bandai Namco Filmworks describes the film:

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.

Shingo Natsume (ACCA: 13-Territory Inspection Dept., One-Punch Man, Sonny Boy, Space Dandy) is both directing the anime at Madhouse and penning the script. Manga creator Natsume Ono (ACCA 13-Territory Inspection Department, Ristorante Paradiso, House of Five Leaves, Not Simple) is in charge of the original character designs. Norifumi Kugai (ACCA: 13-Territory Inspection Dept., Sonny Boy) is designing the characters for animation. Bandai Namco Filmworks is distributing the film. Alternative rock band hitsujibungaku will perform the film's theme song, and will also perform the film's insert song "Sugar."

The work marks Shingo Natsume's first time directing an original anime film.

Shingo Natsume stated regarding the film that he is aiming for "a work that could be called fictional but is in tune with our current time and seeks realism."

The film has a manga adaptation by artist himiko, which launched in Kadokawa's Young Ace magazine on August 4.
