The theatrical anime ghost/Yoru no Hate has released its main trailer, a second key visual and five new cast members, Comic Natalie reported on November 10, 2026. The original film is Shingo Natsume's first theatrical anime as director and opens February 11, 2027.
The new cast members are:
- Takeo Ōtsuka as Bora, Nike's predecessor, who loves beautiful things
- Kazuhiro Yamaji as Ahab, a homeless old man angry at the world
- Yuki Shin as Structure, a man who, like Nike, holds privileges
- Hina Yōmiya as Mike, a girl afraid of being sorted
- Atsumi Tanezaki as Masu's son
In the film's world, people no longer need to work, and at 18 everyone is sorted into those the world needs and those it does not. The story follows Nike, a gifted 15-year-old who has already been sorted and given privileges, and Masu, a man carrying a deep loss whom she meets. Mayu Hotta voices Nike and Issei Takahashi voices Masu.
The trailer shows a defiant Nike with lines that translate as "I'm not the one who's wrong" and "drop bombs on the idiots' heads." Her defiance meets Masu's loneliness, and a bond forms between them. The trailer is set to "life," the theme song Hitsujibungaku wrote for the film.
The new key visual shows Nike lying among red flowers. A second round of Mubichike advance tickets featuring the visual goes on sale November 13. FamilyMart will exclusively sell a Mubichike convenience-store ticket that lets buyers purchase an original bromide photo, and Animate will exclusively sell a Mubichike card bundled with a set of three acrylic cards.
All five new cast members sent comments. Yamaji wrote that watching the film was stifling, but admitted that he "can't hide the fact" that he felt a little envious of a world without work (translated).
The film reunites the team behind the TV anime ACCA: 13-Territory Inspection Dept.: Natsume Ono provides the original character concepts, Norifumi Kugai is the character designer and Madhouse handles animation production. Bandai Namco Filmworks distributes the film.
