Night Is Short, Walk On Girl (Japanese: 夜は短し歩けよ乙女, Hepburn: Yoru wa Mijikashi Aruke yo Otome) is a 2017 Japanese animated romantic comedy film directed by Masaaki Yuasa. The film is based on the 2006 novel The Night Is Short, Walk on Girl[1] written by Tomihiko Morimi and illustrated by Yusuke Nakamura, who also served as the film's original character designer.[6] The film was released in North America as The Night Is Short, Walk On Girl, with a leading article added,[7] but in other English-speaking regions without one. It has been awarded the Grand Prize for Best Animated Feature at the Ottawa International Animation Festival[8] and the Japan Academy Prize for Animation of the Year.[9]
The film is a spiritual sequel to The Tatami Galaxy, also based on a novel written by Morimi and directed by Yuasa. Though both works share a Kyoto University setting and some characters, the plotlines are largely unrelated.[10]
