Tokyo, Japan – The highly anticipated season finale of “CITY The Animation” is set to air on Monday, September 29, 2025, at 0:00 JST, bringing to a close the surreal and comedic daily lives of the residents of City. The 13th and final episode will be available for streaming worldwide on Amazon Prime Video, following its Japanese broadcast on Tokyo MX and other networks.
A Journey Through the Unpredictable City
“CITY The Animation,” produced by the renowned Kyoto Animation and directed by Taichi Ishidate, adapts Keiichi Arawi’s popular manga series, known for its distinctive blend of absurdist humor and slice-of-life storytelling. The series premiered globally on Amazon Prime Video on July 6, 2025, quickly garnering attention for its unique charm and intricate, interconnected narratives.
The anime centers around the seemingly ordinary yet profoundly eccentric inhabitants of “City,” with penniless college student Midori Nagumo often at the heart of its whimsical occurrences. Viewers have followed Nagumo, her best friend Niikura, and the tenacious Wako Izumi, among a large ensemble cast, as they navigate an urban landscape where unexpected events are the norm. The show has been praised for its lovable characters and its masterful execution of comedic timing and intertwined storylines, reminiscent of Arawi’s previous hit, Nichijou.
Key Highlights of the Season
Throughout its run, “CITY The Animation” has delivered a continuous stream of laughter, heartwarming moments, and peculiar situations. From Midori Nagumo’s ongoing quest for purpose while attempting to avoid rent, to the various interconnected escapades of the city’s diverse residents, each episode has presented an unpredictable “ordinary life.” The series’ strength lies in its ability to weave multiple character perspectives into a cohesive, albeit chaotic, narrative tapestry.
Before the finale, a new visual was released, featuring best friends Eri Amakazari and Matsuri Makabe, two integral members of the expansive cast, holding hands amidst a vibrant field of flowers. This visual hints at the show’s underlying themes of friendship and the subtle affection that underpins its humor.
What to Expect from the Finale
As the 13th and final episode approaches, fans are eager to see how the season will conclude the various ongoing plot threads and character arcs. Given the show’s penchant for genre-bending creativity, previous episodes have demonstrated an ability to seamlessly transition between elements of pulp adventures, sci-fi, and even fantasy, often culminating in unexpected twists.
The finale is anticipated to uphold the series’ tradition of witty dialogue, engaging character interactions, and the signature surreal comedy that has defined “CITY The Animation.” Viewers can expect a capstone episode that reinforces the show’s unique charm and leaves a lasting impression, much like the series itself.
