A Journey Through Kyoto Animation

I’ve got a big ol’ Anime News Network editorial out for you guys today – my journey through Kyoto Animation, along with a running down of my own top ten shows from my favorite studio! It was really fun writing this piece, as I got to explore more fragmented-than-usual elements of my appreciation for the studio, and spin them into a larger narrative of why all their little choices add up to a studio whose works tend to speak so directly to me. Anime on the whole is often defined by fragmentary strengths, and I’m always happy to celebrate the unique nature of this wonderful medium. I hope you enjoy the piece!
