Kyoto Animation revealed throughout a 2025 lineup livestream on Saturday that it’s producing CITY The Animation, a tv anime primarily based on Keiichi Arawi‘s CITY manga. The anime will debut in 2025. The anime would be the first non-sequel anime for Kyoto Animation in six years.
Taichi Ishidate (Violet Evergarden, Beyond the Boundary) is directing the anime at Kyoto Animation.
The anime will star:
Mikako Komatsu as Midori Nagumo, a naive and harmless lady who causes incidents all over the place. Her future dream is doing enjoyable issues.
Aki Toyosaki as Niikura, a lady who retains throwing punchlines and finally ends up getting concerned in every little thing. She claims to be a totally regular lady, and her dream is to be a photographer.
Yui Ishikawa as Wako Izumi, a barely mysterious lady, and it’s unclear if she’s regular or a genus.
Kyoto Animation describes the anime:
This city, isn’t just a standard city.
There’s laughter, love and emotional moments.
An unpredictable unusual life offered by the residents!
Thrilling stuffs come one after one other. Welcome to CITY.
Arawi launched the manga in Kodansha‘s Morning in September 2016, and ended the sequence in February 2021. Kodansha revealed the thirteenth and remaining compiled e book quantity in April 2021.
Vertical (now Kodansha USA) published all the sequence in English. The manga can also be obtainable on Kodansha‘s K MANGA service.
Arawi beforehand drew the Nichijou and Helvetica Standard manga, each of which Vertical also released in English. Each manga inspired the Nichijō TV anime by Kyoto Animation in 2011, which pulls from tales in each manga. Crunchyroll streamed the anime because it aired in Japan.
