Jellyfish Can’t Swim in the Night has kicked off its run as part of the now airing Spring 2024 anime schedule, and the original anime series has revealed how long it will be sticking around for! Jellyfish Can’t Swim in the Night is one of the most curious anime releases of the Spring 2024 anime season overall as it is a completely original anime project from studio Doga Kobo, the studio that was behind one of the biggest new anime debuts of 2023, Oshi no Ko. But because this is an original project, it’s not easy to guess what could be coming our way with this one.

What has been revealed about the future of the Jellyfish Can’t Swim in the Night anime project, however, is the fact that it has been announced that the anime will be running for 12 episodes (which will be sold across four Blu-ray volumes in Japan according to the anime’s official website). This means it will be a single cour outing as part of the Spring 2024 schedule, with episodes airing from April to sometime in late June before it’s all over.

HIDIVE teases what to expect from Jellyfish Can’t Swim in the Night as such, “Shibuya is a city full of identity. It is here on Shibuya’s late night streets that illustrator Mahiru Kozuki, former idol Kano Yamanouchi, Vtuber Kiui Watase and composer Mei Kim Anouk Takanashi — four young women who are slightly outside the world — join together and form an anonymous artist group called JELEE. ‘I’ also want to shine like someone else. If it’s not me but “we” then we might be able to shine.”
