Jellyfish Can't Swim in the Night (Japanese: 夜のクラゲは泳げない, Hepburn: Yoru no Kurage wa Oyogenai), abbreviated as YoruKura (ヨルクラ), is an original anime television series produced by Doga Kobo for its 50th anniversary.
Set in Shibuya, this series follows four Japanese girls, one of them is a illustrator, an idol, a music composer and a VTuber that forms a band named JELEE, to make into a global phenomenon, freeing themselves of their acrimonious past.
On March 24, 2023, Doga Kobo announced it was producing an original television anime series titled Jellyfish Can't Swim in the Night, which would be scheduled to premiere in 2024, with its story taking place in Shibuya.
James Beckett gave high praise to Yoru and Kano's "immediately compelling relationship" and the overall production for displaying the characters' "weight and heft" during the musical and dramatic scenes.
Richard Eisenbeis praised the overarching plot involving Yoru's crippling peer pressure and her interactions with Kano, saying "all signs point to this being a journey worth watching."
Rebecca Silverman was critical of the show's "meandering conversations" over "highly symbolic images" and unsure if it can sustain this storytelling style, but was optimistic for Yoru's artistic rediscovery and relationship with Kano.
