Call of the Night

About Call of the Night

Call of the Night (よふかしのうた) arrives as a comedy anime by LIDENFILMS (2022), and the premise is easy to summarize. At its core: Wracked by insomnia and wanderlust, Kou Yamori is driven onto the moonlit streets every night in an aimless search for something he can’t seem to name. His nightly ritual is marked by purposeless introspection — until he crosses paths with Nazuna, who might just be a vampire!

Another thread: Kou’s new companion could offer him dark gifts and a vampire’s immortality. There are conditions that has to be met before Kou can sink his teeth into vampirism, and he’ll have to discover just how far he’s willing to go to satisfy his desires before he can heed the Call of the Night!

In a comedy series like this, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Nazuna Nanakusa (Sora Amamiya) and Kou Yamori (Gen Satou) are two of the characters you will meet early. This one is best suited to viewers who want something light between heavier series. At 13 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
