Crunchyroll has released the highly anticipated second official trailer for Nyaight of the Living Cat, an anime series that will stream worldwide starting in July 2025. The premise promises an entertaining blend of humor and horror as a mysterious virus causes a global catastrophe, turning people who touch cats into felines. This “Nyandemic” reshapes the world into a cat-dominated society, where the irresistible urge to pet cats could be humanity’s downfall.
The anime is directed by Tomohiro Kamitani, known for his work on A Certain Scientific Railgun and A Certain Magical Index, with Takashi Miike, renowned filmmaker of Ichi the Killer and 13 Assassins, serving as executive director. The series is based on the popular manga Night of the Living Cat, created by Hawkman and illustrated by Mecha-Roots.
Set in 20XX, the world is overwhelmed by the effects of the virus, where any human contact with a cat leads to instant transformation into a cat. As the pandemic spreads, the fate of humanity lies in resisting the urge to interact with the adorable creatures. In this cat-ridden world, can people fight the temptation to pet them, or will they fall victim to the viral outbreak?
The series features a talented Japanese voice cast, including Masaaki Mizunaka, Reina Ueda, and Yu Serizawa. The new trailer captures the tone perfectly, blending humor and suspense as characters react to the deadly cuteness of cats.
The anime is written by Shingo Irie, the mind behind Golden Kamuy and Orb: On the Movements of the Earth. The world of Nyaight of the Living Cat is set to be a unique, thrilling experience for fans of both horror and comedy. Authorities are already warning the public: stay cautious when around cats. If one makes contact, it’s already too late—you’ll be part of the “Nyandemic.”
