Call of the Night Confirms Anime's Release Date in New Trailer
Call of the Night has officially revealed its release date with a new trailer ahead of its Summer debut! Kotoyama's original manga series has been running with Shogakukan's Weekly Shonen Magazine since 2019, and it was picking up steam as one of the major manga that fans felt like there was potential for a full anime adaptation someday. Now it will be making its debut as part of the increasingly packed Summer 2022 anime schedule, and fans have gotten a much better idea of what to expect (and when) with its latest updates along with its new trailer.
Call of the Night will be making its debut on July 7th, and to celebrate has also revealed that Kensho Ono as Mahiru Seki, Hiroyuki Yoshino as Akihito Akiyama, and Yoko Hikasa as Kiyosumi Hirakawa will be joining the cast for the series. The opening theme will be titled "Datenshi" as performed by Creepy Nuts, and fans got to get a taste of this new theme along with much more footage from the new anime than ever before with its latest trailer.

Sentai Filmworks has licensed Call of the Night for its official English release and it will be streaming with HIDIVE alongside its premiere in Japan. They tease the series as such, "Wracked by insomnia and wanderlust, Ko 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 meets Nazuna, who might just be a vampire! Ko's new companion could offer him dark gifts and a vampire's immortality. But there are conditions that must be met before Ko 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!"
