I'm honestly not mad at that 3DCG zoom-in at the end.

Interestingly use of bold outlines on the characters, and it still looks fluidly animated! It's nice to see KyoAi animating a brand new series.

It's an insanely impressive cut, because I'm pretty sure only the buildings there are CG. |

Looks different. It's impressive work, but I can't say I'm really digging the style. But I'm sure it'll be good.

Is this the first time Takehito Koyasu is voicing an old man?

It looks cute! It looks zany! It looks amazing animated! It's from the author of Nichijou! It has Takehito Koyasu voicing two characters! What more could you want?

Surprising how faithful it is to the web animations the author does/did.

Not familiar with the source material but I love the way this looks.

I read a bit of the manga and felt that it would be better as animation, so I'm quite happy to see how it looks from the preview.

What is this Nichijou that everyone is mentioning
I wonder if Keiichi Arawi is a fan of the Flying Circus (Python, Monty)? Their works share a commonality of disconnected Strange Sketches, random bits of short animation, and surreal situations? I have high hopes of KyoAni going all out on the OP and ED animation. |

This is such a cute series and I'm so excited to see this now. I'm not sure who would end up licensing this show a month or two before it comes out in July, but honestly, it's a three-way spin between Crunchyroll, Sentai Filmworks/HiDive, and Netflix. The former two consider they license like every other anime series, including the slice-of-life shows each season, not to mention Crunchyroll (formerly Funimation) has Nichijou also created by Keiichi Arawi, and Sentai has been one of several anime licensors that tend to get the slice-of-life series.
Now, I wouldn't rule out Netflix, as they could be another good choice to get another comedy anime series to be streamed worldwide considering in the past year or two they have been licensing several big anime series such as My Happy Marriage, Delicious in Dungeon, Ranma ½, Blue Box, Sakamoto Days and the upcoming The Summer Hikaru Dies. Not to mention City: The Animation is being broadcasted on Tokyo MX, TV Aichi, and Nippon's BS11 which previously broadcasted Uncle from Another World, My Happy Marriage, and Delicious in Dungeon which Netflix did acquired to stream for their service. However, I have to keep in mind that just because Netflix has licensed several anime titles that were broadcast on Tokyo MX, TV Aichi, and Nippon's BS11 respectively for their streaming service especially through Tokyo MX (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean, Uncle from Another World, My Happy Marriage, and Delicious in Dungeon) doesn't guarantee they would be licensing City: The Animation in July considering Netflix might put more of their attention to the second cour of Sakamoto Days and The Summer Hikaru Dies and not license any other anime for the majority of the Summer 2025 Season, along with the fact their are other factors that could hinder Netflix from getting City: The Animation such as: 1. The anime production committee for City: The Animation is much higher, leading to Netflix dropping out from getting this and Sentai and/or Crunchyroll swooping in to grab the license 2. Netflix is not interested in licensing City: The Animation despite the huge appeal and would rather just focus on creating their own anime originals or licensing other series, resulting in Crunchyroll or Sentai licensing it instead. 3. Sentai and/or Crunchyroll had licensed the particular anime series months ahead of time. But honestly, my money is on Crunchyroll and/or Sentai/HiDive considering how Netflix can be selective on which anime they really want to license for their service (e.g., My Happy Marriage, Delicious in Dungeon, Blue Box, Sakamoto Days) and wether they want to license that anime or just be committed with their anime originals they want to do. But hey I wouldn't rule out Netflix considering that despite licensing My Happy Marriage, Delicious in Dungeon and the upcoming The Summer Hikaru Dies just 4-6 months before their anime premiere they have been licensing some anime shows such as Ranma ½, and Blue Box 2-3 months before the show premieres but at the end of the day it's up to Netflix if they want to get City: The Animation. |
