Some more details have appeared about the September 21, 2024 announcement about new anime from Kyoto Animation. Instead of sharing information on one show, the studio will present its entire line-up for 2025. [Thanks, AIR!]
Here is a link to the stream. As a reminder, it will premiere at 9pm JST on September 21, 2024. That would equate to 5am PST/8am EST on the same date. When Kyoto Animation first revealed that it had an announcement, many people guessed that it would have something to do with Haruhi Suzumiya. This is due to the 21st anniversary of the series, as well as the new Theater of Haruhi Suzumiya light novel. Since Daisuke Ono will be the narrator, these rumors may prove right.
For reference, Ono voiced Itsuki Koizumi in the The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya anime adaptation. It seems likely that if he will be there in the presentation, it has something to do with the series. Ono is a very popular and prominent voice actor. A small sample of his more major roles include Jing Yuan in Honkai: Star Rail, Erwin in Attack on Titan, Jyushimatsu in Osomatsu-san, Shizuo in Durarara!!, and Ushiromiya Battler in Umineko When They Cry.
As for Kyoto Animation, it is a major anime studio that’s well-known for its high production values and positive treatment of employees. It created many influential titles since its founding in 1985. Some of its shows include Air, Lucky Star, K-On!, and Violet Evergarden.
Kyoto Animation will reveal its 2025 line-up on September 21, 2024.
