"20th Century Electric Catalog" Premieres July 2026! Yuma Uchida & Sora Amamiya Star in New Kyoto Animation Series

This news was revealed at today's (January 27, 2026) "Next on Netflix 2026" presentation, with the starring roles performed by the luxurious voice cast of Yuma Uchida and Sora Amamiya.
A Fantastical Kyoto Interwoven with Steam and Electricity
The story of 20th Century Electric Catalog is set in a parallel-world Kyoto, Japan, at the beginning of the 20th century—a world where steam engines are highly developed and the streets are perpetually shrouded in smoke.
The story revolves around two main characters:
- Kihachi Sakamoto: A youth who harbors complex feelings towards his elder brother, who once dreamed of an "Electric Age" but unfortunately passed away young, making him suspicious and no longer quick to trust others.
- Inako Momokawa: A girl with a devout and pure personality, who keeps her admiration and regrets for her deceased mother deeply buried in her heart.
The fates of these two intersect due to a mysterious book depicting the future, 20th Century Electric Catalog, and they embark on a "rebirth" adventure story that traverses trauma and pioneers the future.
