Anime studio responsible for ''[[Munto]]'', ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]'' (after the first season), ''[[Suzumiya Haruhi]]'', ''[[Lucky Star]]'', ''[[K-On!]]'' and adaptations of three [[Key Visual Arts]] visual novels: ''[[AIR]]'', ''[[Kanon]]'', and ''[[Clannad]]'' (although these were all also separately adapted by [[Toei Animation]]). Held to high regard for their usually good animation quality, as well as [[Scenery Porn|almost disturbingly realistic backgrounds]] and the generous use of little touches to spice up the character animation. They also know how to tug at viewers' heartstrings, and never let go. Their shows tend to be huge commercial successes, with ''[[Suzumiya Haruhi]]'', ''[[Lucky Star]]'', and ''[[K-On!]]'' leading the pack so far, and not since [[Jerry Bruckheimer]] and [[Michael Bay]] has there been a production team that is so fond of (and good at) golden sunsets that provoke [[Manly Tears]] in its audience; [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|though usually for less macho reasons.]]
In 2007, the firing of Yutaka Yamamoto led to lots of people resigning after ''Lucky Star'''s original run and creating another studio called [[Black Rock Shooter (anime)|Ordet]]. But that's another story.
Kyoto Animation has produced the following TV series:
* ''[[Full Metal Panic!|Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu]]'' (2003)
* ''[[AIR]]'' (2005)
* ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]!: The Second Raid'' (2005)
* ''[[Haruhi Suzumiya|The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya]]'' (2006) (2009)
* ''[[Kanon]]'' (2006-2007)
* ''[[Lucky Star]]'' (2007)
* ''[[Clannad]]'' (2007-2008)
* ''CLANNAD
* ''[[Munto|Munto: Sora o Miageru Shoujo no Hitomi ni Utsuru Sekai]]'' (2009)
* ''[[K-On!]]'' (2009)
Line 38:
Notable for their tendency to do [[Shout-Out|Shout Outs]] and [[Casting Gag|casting gags]] to their own series...
* ''[[Suzumiya Haruhi]]'' had a couple of shout outs to ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]'' and ''[[AIR]]''.
* ''[[Lucky Star]]'' has innumerable [[Shout-Out|Shout Outs]] to ''Haruhi'', being the favorite show of the [[Otaku Surrogate]] Konata... [[Actor Allusion|who is voiced by Aya Hirano, Haruhi's voice actress]]. Konata uses a ''Hare Hare Yukai'' and later ''Koi no Mikuru Densetsu'' ringtone, has a big collection of ''Haruhi'' merchandise, [[Cosplay Otaku Girl|cosplays as Haruhi]] at the cafe where she works, and much, much more. After all, [[media:cit_lucky_star_advertisement.jpg|"This is advertisement for us, so it's better!"]] These inside references are anime-only, and are not found anywhere in the manga on which it is based.
** Similarly, Kagami's favourite series happens to be ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]'', leading to [[Shout-Out|Shout Outs]] in that direction as well. (Oddly enough, Tsukasa's favourite series is ''[[Keroro Gunsou]]'', which also has its fair share of [[Shout-Out|Shout Outs]], despite being a [[Sunrise]] show. In the same vein, Konata is a fan of ''[[Code Geass]]'', also produced by Sunrise, and they manage a few [[Shout-Out|Shout Outs]] for it too.)
*** Not surprising at all, since Kyoani is affiliated with Sunrise, so it's a [[Shout-Out]] to their parent company.
** And of course, as pictured, when the girls go on a field trip to Kyoto... well, where does Konata want to visit?
