Nyaight of the Living Cat release schedule: When are new episodes on Crunchyroll?
Here's how to watch the weirdest horror-comedy of the year!
As you can probably guess from the title, Nyaight of the Living Cat isn't aiming for hard-hitting drama.
Based on a horror-comedy manga series, it's a must-watch for cat lovers, based around an imaginatively bizarre concept: A virus that transforms people into cats.
A pun on the word "nya", the Japanese equivalent of "meow", the original manga is also known as Night of the Living Cat. Produced by legendary director Takashi Miike, the TV adaptation premiered this summer.
Despite the intrinsically silly nature of a cat transformation virus, this show has a lot in common with zombie fiction, depicting a world where society is quickly overrun by a disastrous pandemic. If anyone who touches a cat turns into a cat, can human civilisation really survive?
If you've had a taste of this inventively bizarre new series, you may be wondering when the next episodes arrive. Happily, we've got you covered! Here's everything we know about Nyaight of the Living Cat's release schedule.
