Today, Kyoto Animation announced its anime lineup for 2025.
There will be a sequel for Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid (小林さんちのメイドラゴン). It will be a movie focusing on Kanna, titled Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid: A lonely dragon wants to be loved (映画：小林さんちのメイドラゴン さみしがりやの竜). Director Ishihara will be back again to direct this sequel in the series.
The other anime announced was CITY THE ANIMATION, which is the anime adaptation of CITY, a manga series by the author of Nichijou (which was also previously adaptation into an anime series by Kyoto Animation). Director Ishidate (who directed the Violet Evergarden series) will be directing this TV series. Now we know what he has been up to. Violet's voice actor Ishikawa Yui will also have a role in this TV series as the character Izumi Wako.
Both are scheduled for 2025 with no actual dates or season given. However, my guess is that the Maid Dragon movie will be in summer 2025, as Kyoani needs to sell advanced tickets, probably in two rounds, with 3 to 5 designs each round.
Meanwhile, for CITY THE ANIMATION, I think it will likely be spring 2025 or autumn 2025. This is because most publishers are already announcing their lineup for winter 2025 (those starting in January 2025), and if the Maid Dragon movie is summer 2025, then this TV series will not be at the same time.
