According to Deadline, Netflix has announced Fool Night, an anime based on the manga by Kasumi Yasuda. Atsushi Yukawa’s (Space Dandy, Blood Lad) series was shown at a Netflix Anime session during Annecy, with new looks to many different shows and movies.
Deadline reports that the Fool Night manga was first published in 2020 and it is set in a universe where the world faces an oxygen shortage. Humanity builds a society that relies on the meager amount of oxygen which is provided by a technology called Transfloration. Toshiro Kamiya, a young man, lives in poverty and works to pay taxes, cover living expenses, and afford medication for his mentally ill mother.

Deadline also reports that during Annecy Yuji Yamano (Pluto, B: The Beginning), Netflix’s director of content acquisition for anime introduced the upcoming content. Yamano said, anime was “once seen as niche and now it’s a global force.” Yamano also revealed how Netflix anime got 1.5 billion views last year and more than 50% of subscribers watch it in some form. He stated that Japanese content is the second most-watched non-English content on Netflix.
Fool Night was announced alongside new images of other anime series such as The One Piece, Sparks of Tomorrow, Blue Eye Samurai and Bass X Machina Deadline reports. There is also a trailer for the animated feature The Ribbon Hero. Yuki Igarashi’s first feature film, The Ribbon Hero, tells the tale of a solitary hero who bravely challenges a cruel fate.

According to Deadline, The One Piece is distinct from Netflix’s hit One Piece series and starts from the very beginning of the original manga, which will have a fresh but familiar take on the long-running franchise. Later this year, Bass X Macina airs in August and is set in a lawless Steampunk West overrun by brutal outlaws, machines and supernatural terrors, while Sparks of Tomorrow follows how technological progress evolved along a different path shaped by steam power, which blankets Kyoto in smoke. b
