The opening scene of the first episode of the TV anime "Night of the Living Cat," based on a cat manga serialized in "Monthly Comic Garden" (Mag Garden) and other publications, has been released on YouTube. In a world where cats "meow" when you touch them, the cats are depicted chasing after people who are desperately trying to escape.
It was also announced that they will collaborate with the survival horror game "Dead by Daylight" and that the smartphone game app "Night Runners (tentative title)" is scheduled to be released around summer 2025.
The work is a cat manga written by Hawkman and illustrated by Mekarouts that has been serialized since 2020. In the year 20XX, a virus suddenly appears that turns humans who touch cats into cats, causing a "Nyandemic," and the story goes that humans must resist the temptation to touch cats and try to survive in a world full of cats.
The anime will be directed by Takashi Miike and Tomohiro Kamiya, and produced by OLM, the studio behind "Pokemon." It will be broadcast on TV Tokyo and other networks from July 7 (Meow Meow Day).
