I'm bit embrassed to admit, but actually Free! is my favorite anime from KyoAni. Maybe it's bit embrassing cause it's at least seen as emotional and deep as their some other work, but rather pretty fanservicey- which is sth KyoAni is really good at as well. But i guess i like the balance of it, it has fanservice, but i think it just adds lot of humor to the show and it's sth that is both lighthearted, cute and funny- and sth that also has some more emotional and deep moments that resonate with me.
Some of my other favorites are ofc classic Clannad that got so many tears out of me and actually so did A Silent Voice and Violet Evergarden as well. Gorgeous animation, some waifus and husbandos, as well as comedy and sadness hand in hand is sth I think when I think of KyoAni.
I'm hoping that the company recovers from this, but I don't know if it's bit selfish to wish. But i think they know best where to go, but if they decide the continue as company, and i think they probably will, i'm looking forward to their stuff. Still i'm sure it will be sth hard to get over for the employees and the company and it will take time.
