About Jellyfish Can't Swim in the Night

In the neon pulse of Shibuya, four young women from different corners of the creative world form a secret collective called JELEE. One is an artist chasing elusive visions, another a retired idol trying to redefine fame, a third a V-tuber building virtual worlds, and the fourth a composer who shapes sound from silence. They don’t chase trends so much as a way to speak openly about who they are. They pool their talents, create anonymous art, and push each other to take risks with their work and with their identities. As their collaboration deepens, personal doubts and ambitions clash before gradually aligning into a shared voice that feels louder than any individual could have managed alone.

Created by JELEE and Yuki Yaku, Jellyfish Can't Swim in the Night is an original animated drama released in 2024. The series blends vivid artwork with urban realism as four women carve out their own artistic paths.

Early reception on the platform appears positive, with a 7.1 out of 10 rating from 34 votes. The show explores self expression, friendship, and the balance between public personas and private identity in a fast moving city, while framing art as resilience and community.
