For a Kyoto Animation title that ran on a streaming service rather than a physical release, GKIDS is treating the home video edition as the archival version, with the extras that carry the production credits the stream did not.

GKIDS announced on Thursday that Kyoto Animation's CITY The Animation, the television anime of Keiichi Arawi's CITY manga, will be released in a Collector's Edition Blu-ray Disc on December 15, sold on its online store. The set carries a 72-page booklet, four art cards, an A3 poster, cut out movies 1-13, previews, TV spots, a team preview, and creditless opening and ending sequences. The series streamed worldwide on Amazon Prime Video in July 2025.
The set is the second life of a series that reached viewers through Amazon Prime Video in July 2025. Taichi Ishidate directed at Kyoto Animation, with Tamami Tokuyama as character designer and chief animation director, Shiori Yamazaki as art director, and Yota Tsuruoka as sound director. The quartet Piranhans composed the music, with Pony Canyon handling music production. Riho Furui performed the opening theme "Hello" and TOMOO the ending theme "Lucky." The December 15 release is limited to GKIDS' own store.
