Kyoto Animation is ready this summer for a new anime that will wow fans worldwide. Sparks of Tomorrow will have an exclusive Netflix release this July 2026, allowing viewers from different countries to follow the story.
Based on the novel by Hiro Yūki, which was awarded an honorable mention at the 8th Kyoto Animation Awards, the story takes place in the Meiji era, summer of 1907. It follows 15-year-old Inako Momokawa and her cheerful friend Kihachi Sakamoto as they search for the mysterious “Electrical Catalog” to prevent an unexpected wedding.
The exclusive Netflix streaming showcases the anime's global appeal, ensuring it reaches audiences globally while preserving the prestige of a summer premiere. This is a major step for Kyoto Animation, known for its high-quality productions.
Sparks of Tomorrow reflects Kyoto Animation's tradition of creating stories filled with emotion and detail. Like their popular series Violet Evergarden, the new anime features deep storytelling, breathtaking animation, and characters that will touch the hearts of viewers.
