It’s almost two years since the arson attack on Kyoto Animation, a tragic event that shook not just those within the anime industry, but people across the world. July marks the return of Miss Kobayashi’s Maid Dragon and also the studio’s return to TV animation. At the time of the attack, messages came from all over from those that appreciated the studio’s craftsmanship. KyoAni isn’t just a contract studio, but a creative force in themselves, developing original series and creative adaptations of existing properties.
