If you love cute things and anime, you must watch this GIF!
Responsible for such anime as K-On!, Free!, and Clannad, Kyoto Animation is certainly one of the more popular studios in Japan. So you’d expect them to have a pretty good number of followers on Twitter — and, indeed, they recently passed the 50,000 mark.
To mark the occasion and say thank you to all the fans, the production company created a short and adorable GIF — and it’s just about the cutest thing we’ve seen all week!
Check it out below!
▼ “The official Kyoto Animation Twitter account has broken 50,000 followers! Thank you very much, everyone! We want to express our gratitude with this animation. Thank you for continuing to follow us!”
京都アニメーション公式Twitterが5万フォロワーを突破しました！皆さま本当にありがとうございます！感謝の気持ちをアニメーションにこめてお届けします。これからもよろしくお願いします！https://t.co/l8U2uz5llN pic.twitter.com/g2yHQ2W7Bv

Now, be sure to follow their Twitter account and get everyone you know to do the same. Who knows what we’ll get when they go over 100,000 followers!
And if this short animation has you feeling inspired, you may want to try making your own. Fortunately, that process will be a fair bit easier when the software Studio Ghibli is released free online this weekend!
