In contrast, studios like Kyoto Animation (sadly, known for the 2019 arson attack) focus on hyper-detailed slice-of-life stories that celebrate the keion (light music club) or the hibike! euphonium (school band). Toei Animation cranks out perpetual shonen franchises ( One Piece , Dragon Ball Super ) that run for decades, bonding generations of fans.
