Kyoto Animation, affectionately known as KyoAni, is one of Japan's largest and most beloved animation studios.

The studio has been applauded not only for the quality of its animations, but also for its ability to tell deeply emotional stories.
However, in 2019, Kyoto Animation went through one of the most devastating tragedies in the history of the anime industry when its main building was burned down in a premeditated attack, resulting in the loss of 36 precious lives and numerous injuries. Despite the immense pain and hardship, the studio has shown incredible resilience, resuming its activities and continuing to produce high-quality anime. In the years since the incident, Kyoto Animation has released successful projects such as Violet Evergarden: The Movie (2020) and the second season of Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon (2021), proving that it remains a mainstay in the industry.
In fact, in recent weeks information was leaked about a possible sequel to Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon, one of Kyoto Animation's most recent and successful titles. This information has been circulating among fans and specialized media, and it is expected that this new installment will be officially confirmed at the event on September 21. Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon has established itself as one of the studio's most beloved franchises, thanks to its mix of humor, endearing characters and a unique visual style.
