She controls the "starry sky" within a virtual reality network, but even among the chosen, she feels like an outsider and tries to find her own place in an unjust society. During her search, Nike meets Masa, a man who lost his family and wanders aimlessly through the world.

Madhouse studio is responsible for the production, and Shingo Natsume serves as both director and screenwriter for the film. He previously worked on the first season of "One-Punch Man," Sonny Boy, "ACCA: 13-Territory Inspection Dept.," and "The Tatami Galaxy." ghost — end of night will be his first original feature-length project. The director himself describes his concept as follows:

"Through animation — an art form that can be considered a type of fiction — I want to create a work that reflects the spirit of our time and strives for a sense of realism."

Character concepts were prepared by manga artist Natsume Ono, and Norifumi Kugai is responsible for their design. Music is composed by Ozora Kimishima. Hitsujibungaku created six compositions for the film, including Sugar, which is featured in the teaser.
