On the 21st, Kyoto Animation announced the production of their first entirely original TV anime in six years, titled CITY THE ANIMATION. The anime is set to air in 2025, and along with the announcement, a teaser visual, promotional video (PV), and cast details were also revealed.

CITY THE ANIMATION is based on the manga CITY, a "girls-run" comedy by Keiichi Arawi, serialized in Kodansha’s Morning magazine from 2016 to 2021. The story depicts the lives of slightly unusual people living in an otherwise ordinary "CITY", focusing on a variety of characters, including penniless college student Midori Nagumo, as well as Niikura and Wako.

The anime will be directed by Taichi Ishidate, known for his work on Beyond the Boundary and Violet Evergarden. Alongside the teaser visual, the cast for the three main characters featured in the visual was also announced: Mikako Komatsu will voice Midori Nagumo, Aki Toyosaki will voice Niikura, and Yui Ishikawa will voice Wako Izumi.

The PV features a lively and charming soundtrack, combining live-action and animation, which gives a glimpse into the unique personality of the work.
