The Weekly Stuff #480 - Japanimation Station’s Kyoto Vacation Preview: The History of Kyoto Animation

<p>The fourth season of our sister series, <i>Japanimation Station, </i>begins today with the premiere of <i>Japanimation Station’s Kyoto Vacation, </i>our biggest podcasting adventure yet! We are taking a journey through the works of Kyoto Animation, one of the most respected and beloved anime studios in Japan, reviewing shows like <i>Clannad, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, K-On!, Nichijou, Sound! Euphonium, Violet Evergarden, </i>and much more. But before we talk about any specific works, we take a step back and discuss the history of Kyoto Animation itself, because it’s a fascinating story stretching back to the earliest days of anime, and one that explains a lot about how the studio came to have the style and structure it is known and respected for. Even if you’ve never watched one of these shows before, this is a story you’ll definitely want to hear, and a great way to kick off our Kyoto Vacation. </p><p>Enjoy, and <a href="https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/japanimationstation">be sure to subscribe to Japanimation Station to continue following the season</a> as it continues for many weeks to come! </p><p><strong>Time Chart:</strong></p><p>Intro: 0:00:00 – 0:02:56</p><p>Theme Song: 0:02:56 – 0:04:25</p><p>Intro and Preview to Season: 0:04:25 – 0:40:31</p><p>Eyecatch Break: 0:40:31 – 0:41:07</p><p>The History of Kyoto Animation: 0:41:07 – 1:57:08</p><p>End Theme: 1:57:08 – 1:58:11</p><p>Support the show at Ko-fi ☕️ <a href="https://ko-fi.com/weeklystuff">https://ko-fi.com/weeklystuff</a></p><p>Read the book <i>200 Reviews by Jonathan R.
