Updated for 2026: We checked the current legal streaming options for Nyaight of the Living Cat. Crunchyroll is the clearest first stop in the U.S., with Amazon/Prime Video, Apple TV, Fandango at Home, and Japan’s ABEMA also worth checking depending on your region.
Nyaight of the Living Cat is the 2025 horror-comedy anime from OLM based on Hawkman and Mecha-Roots’ manga. The setup is beautifully stupid in the best way: a virus turns anyone who touches a cat into a cat, so humanity has to survive a worldwide “nyandemic” while resisting the urge to pet every adorable threat in sight.
The short version: Crunchyroll is the safest first recommendation for most international anime viewers. In the United States, you can also check Amazon/Prime Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home for channel or digital-store access. In Japan, ABEMA has an official title page with the full 12-episode season listed.
Title note: The English anime title is styled as Nyaight of the Living Cat on Crunchyroll and Apple TV. The Japanese official site uses ニャイト・オブ・ザ・リビングキャット. Some manga/database pages may also refer to it as Night of the Living Cat, but this guide uses the streaming-platform title.

Best Legal Options for Watching Nyaight of the Living Cat
1. Crunchyroll — Best First Stop for Most Viewers
Crunchyroll has the official series page for Nyaight of the Living Cat, and Crunchyroll episode pages surfaced for both Japanese-audio and English-dub viewing. If you want the most straightforward legal stream, start here.
Availability: United States confirmed from official Crunchyroll results; availability may vary elsewhere.
Best for: Anime fans who want subscription streaming rather than buying individual episodes or seasons.
2. Amazon Video / Prime Video — Good U.S. Backup
Amazon Video and Prime Video both surface official pages for the season. In the U.S., this is mainly useful if you access Crunchyroll through Prime Video Channels or prefer Amazon’s video storefront.
Availability: U.S. storefront evidence found; check your local Amazon page because Prime Video catalogs and purchase options vary heavily by country.
Best for: Viewers who already manage anime through Amazon or Prime Video.
3. Apple TV — Official Store Listing With Multi-Language Info
Apple TV has an official show page for NYAIGHT OF THE LIVING CAT. The page lists OLM as the studio, Japan as the region of origin, a 2025 release, Japanese original audio, and multiple audio/subtitle tracks including English, French, German, Portuguese, and Spanish.
Availability: U.S. page confirmed; Apple storefront access and purchase options vary by country.
Best for: Apple TV app users who want to check whether the season is available in their local store.
4. Fandango at Home — U.S. Digital Purchase Option
Fandango at Home surfaced an official page for Nyaight of the Living Cat (English Dubbed): Season 1. From Japan, the page redirects to a regional service notice, so treat this as a U.S.-only option unless Fandango supports your location.
Availability: United States; region-blocked elsewhere in our test environment.
Best for: U.S. viewers who prefer buying a season digitally instead of maintaining another subscription.
5. ABEMA — Japan Streaming Option
ABEMA has an official Japanese title page for ニャイト・オブ・ザ・リビングキャット, with episode entries for all 12 episodes. The official anime site also says all 12 episodes are streaming on multiple services in Japan.
Availability: Japan.
Best for: Viewers in Japan, or travelers trying to access their usual Japanese streaming account.
Is Nyaight of the Living Cat on Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, HIDIVE, or Tubi?
At the time of this 2026 update, I did not find confirmed official full-season pages for Nyaight of the Living Cat on Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, HIDIVE, Max, Peacock, Paramount+, Tubi, Pluto TV, The Roku Channel, Plex, Muse Asia, Ani-One Asia, or Bilibili/Bstation. Some platforms and video sites surface clips, searches, or user-upload results, but those are not the same as an official legal full-series page.
Can a VPN Help?
The series is confirmed on Crunchyroll in the United States, and ABEMA is a confirmed legal option in Japan. If you are traveling and your usual Crunchyroll or ABEMA account suddenly does not show the series, connecting to a U.S. or Japan server through NordVPN is the clearest legal travel-use case to try. Use it for region-library access on services you already pay for — not for piracy or unofficial uploads.
Bottom Line
For most readers, Crunchyroll is the best place to start. U.S. viewers can also check Amazon/Prime Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home for digital access, while Japan-based viewers should check ABEMA. If another official platform adds the full series later, this guide should be updated.
