On 1st July, Kyoto Animation released new information regarding its 7th fan appreciation event, titled “We Are Here!! – The World of KyoAni Exhibition”. The announcement includes the unveiling of newly drawn character illustrations and a full catalogue of commemorative merchandise.
The event is part of Kyoto Animation’s ongoing efforts to connect directly with its fanbase. It also offers an opportunity to showcase both past and current works through themed exhibits and exclusive merchandise. The 7th edition of the event will take place on 25th and 26th October 2025.
The newly unveiled illustration for the event depicts Kyoto Animation characters collaborating in an animation studio. Each character is shown actively contributing to the production process, whether storyboarding, animating, or handling direction. This artwork reflects the company’s internal creative workflow and teamwork culture. The same illustration is scheduled to be included in a special art book, which will be released at a later date.
The event showcases a diverse selection of Kyoto Animation's works, including CITY THE ANIMATION, the Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid series, Sound! Euphonium, Tsurune, Free!, Violet Evergarden, Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions!, Hagureboshi no Uta, and other titles from the studio’s catalogue.
