The official Ghost – End of Night trailer introduces Nike and Mas, the film’s two main characters. Mayu Hotta voices Nike, while Issei Takahashi plays Mas. The Japanese theatrical release is scheduled for February 11, 2027.
Key facts
- Ghost – End of Night is an original animated film directed and written by Shingo Natsume, with animation production by Madhouse.
- Mayu Hotta voices Nike.
- Issei Takahashi plays Mas.
- The Japanese theatrical release is scheduled for February 11, 2027.
The story takes place in a future where work is no longer necessary. At 18, however, everyone must undergo a selection process designed to determine whether they remain useful to society.
Nike was selected at 15. Mas carries the burden of his family’s disappearance, and their meeting forms the emotional core of the film.
The trailer relies on silences, glances and cold spaces. It introduces the selection process without explaining all its rules, leaving the full conflict unresolved for now.
Two voices at the centre of the story
Mayu Hotta plays Nike, a teenager selected at an early age. Issei Takahashi plays Mas, a man marked by the loss of his family. The video presents their meeting as the story’s starting point.
Ghost – End of Night is directed and written by Shingo Natsume, with Madhouse handling the animation production. The project turns social usefulness into a personal trial, but the teaser is still too brief to assess the complete writing or final pacing.
The Japanese release is scheduled
Ghost – End of Night will open in Japanese theaters on February 11, 2027. The film’s official website has also published an initial list of theaters.
No French release has been confirmed, and no international streaming deal has been announced. The official Crunchyroll News announcement confirms the trailer and the two main voice actors. The film’s official news page will provide the next updates.
For French-speaking audiences, the next major announcement will concern a possible release outside Japan. The trailer is available, but the film is not yet streaming. You can also find Jeu.vidéo news, the latest publications and the site’s articles.
A project still focused on its Japanese launch
The announcement brings together a trailer, two main voice actors and a Japanese release date. Ghost – End of Night therefore has a clearer framework than a project introduced through a single image. However, this first video does not yet allow a judgment of the final pacing, complete writing or international distribution.
February 11, 2027 is now the reference date for Japanese theaters. French-speaking audiences must still wait for a distribution announcement. The trailer confirms neither French theaters, subtitles, dubbing nor streaming availability.
The next announcements to watch
- Will a French release be announced ? This will determine whether French-speaking audiences can see the film in theaters.
- Will an international streaming platform be confirmed ? That would clarify when the film can be watched outside Japanese theaters.
- Will a future trailer explain the selection process in more detail ? The teaser introduces its principle, but not all of its rules.
