Kyoto Animation's latest TV anime, "Twentieth Century Electric Catalog - Eureka Everyka -," has been selected for the TV Films section of the official competition at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival, which will be held in Annecy, France in June, and will be officially screened.
The Annecy International Animation Film Festival was established in 1960 when the animation section of the Cannes International Film Festival became independent. It is the world's longest-running and largest animation film festival. It runs from June 21st to 27th.
The original work is the light novel "Twentieth Century Electric Catalog" by Hiroshi Yuki, published by KA Esuma Bunko. Set in Kyoto in the early 20th century, when only steam engines had developed, this adventure story begins when a boy who is in despair after losing his brother with whom he shared dreams of the "age of electricity" meets a girl who lives a devout life with longing and regret for her deceased mother. As the characters confront their past regrets and reclaim their former dreams and selves, they try to uncover the secrets of the "Twentieth Century Electric Catalog."
