Nyaight of the Living Cat takes the apocalypse in a cuter—but no less terrifying—direction. Based on the manga by Hawkman and Mecha-Roots, the 2025 anime follows survivors in a world where touching a cat transforms humans into cute, cuddly felines.
Produced by OLM with legendary filmmaker Takashi Miike serving as chief director, the series blends horror and comedy with tongue-in-cheek style. It premiered in Japan on July 7, 2025, and began streaming worldwide on Crunchyroll the same week.
