Get Ready for More Chaos in CITY THE ANIMATION Episode 2! Synopsis & Advance Cuts Revealed
Get ready for the next dose of hilarious chaos! Ahead of its broadcast on Sunday, July 13, 2025, the synopsis and advance cuts for episode 2, titled “#2”, of the summer anime CITY THE ANIMATION have been released.
Based on the manga CITY by Araii Keiichi, serialized from 2016 to 2021 in “Morning” and currently making a comeback after three and a half years with a return to Nichijo, CITY THE ANIMATION is a girls’ run comedy. It depicts the somehow fun lives of the quirky residents living in a seemingly ordinary “CITY”. The story unfolds through a diverse cast of characters, including Nagumo Midori, a penniless college student, Niikura, Nagumo’s junior who aspires to be a photographer, and Izumi Wako, a girl who’s a little bit strange.
The animation production is handled by Kyoto Animation, with Ishitachi Taichi directing, Tokuyama Tamami serving as character designer and chief animation director, and Piraniansu composing the music. The voice cast features Komatsu Mikako as Nagumo Midori, Toyosaki Aki as Niikura, and Ishikawa Yui as Izumi Wako, alongside a colorful array of other talented actors.
