City the Animation (CITY THE ANIMATION) is a whimsical and surreal slice-of-life comedy anime produced by Kyoto Animation, premiering on July 6 or 7, 2025, in Japan. Based on Keiichi Arawi’s manga City, it follows the lives of the Mont Blanc Trio—Midori Nagumo, Ayumu Niikura, and Wako Izumi—as they navigate university life in a seemingly ordinary city full of extraordinary quirks. Directed by Taichi Ishidate, the studio’s first original series in six years captures the same deadpan absurdity that fans loved in Nichijou. Expect vibrant visuals, unusual comedic setups, and warm character moments as these friends juggle odd jobs, quirky mishaps, and whimsical adventures. Licensed for global streaming via Amazon Prime Video, the show unites social satire with lovable surreal charm across 13 volumes of source material and ongoing broadcast.
