Cats rule the world.
The series adaptation of Nyaight of the Living Cat is coming from executive director Takashi Miike. The official trailer of the series, which can be seen below, is adapted from the original manga which was written by Hawkman and illustrated by Mecha-Roots.
The official synopsis reads “Run! The Adorable Cats Are Here! In 20XX, the world is dominated by cats. A virus which turns anyone who touches a cat into a cat has spread into a worldwide nyandemic. Cats rub against people, turning them into cats. Can humanity fight their urge to pet cats to survive in this cat-ridden world? The momentously catful comic is getting a TV anime in 2025!”
Miike, the famed Japanese film director, has directed over 100 feature films including the horror hits Ichi the Killer and Audition.
“It’s terrifying, but the Nyandemic can no longer be stopped,” said executive director Takashi Miike. “The time has come for humanity to dedicate both body and soul to cats. Resistance is futile. Accept it, sit back, watch in silence, let those little paws knead you, and find happiness. Every single staff member involved, including all the voice actors, in this project have turned into cats. Next, it’s your turn to become a cat. This laugh-out-loud, panic-inducing anime was born to bring happiness to everyone on Earth. I hope you enjoy it.”
The series is set to premiere in 2025 on Crunchyroll. Keep it locked to Horror News Network for more on Nyaight of the Living Cat.
