Sparks of Tomorrow is a 2026 television anime from Kyoto Animation, adapting Hiro Yūki's KA Esuma Bunko novel 20 Seiki Denki Mokuroku. It unfolds in an alternate 1907 Kyoto where progress veered toward steam power, leaving the old capital perpetually wreathed in soot and smoke.

Inako Momokawa, a fifteen-year-old girl from the Fushimi district, crosses paths with Kihachi Sakamoto, a freewheeling young man who scorns the old gods and proclaims the coming age of electricity. Streaming worldwide on Netflix, it is a wistful coming-of-age tale about two dreamers reaching for a brighter future beyond the haze.
