Fire at Kyoto Animation
Arson, they currently believe. Fire at Studio 1, apparently several serious injuries.
Disgruntled employee - or worse yet, crazed fan? Who knows at this point, but obviously a terrible story.

Authorities believe that this might be a case of arson and appear to have apprehended one male suspect, although details are scant at this point.

While there are a lot of studios where you wouldn’t be surprised if an ex-employee who’d been abused did something like this, Kyoto Animation isn’t one of them. Whatever you think of the end product their working conditions are among the best in the industry (as low a bar as that is). Their fanbase is pretty out there sometimes though, which does make you wonder.

Tragically this sounds very bad - many critical injuries and extensive damage to the main studio. What a horrible thing to happen.

F***, f***, f***!
Horrible news. I can now only hope that the law will punish that arrested suspect very harshly. He better not get away with anything lenient at all now that homicide will be in the charges. |

I just heard the news. I thought it was a joke at first, but when I saw the news and read the articles I was pissed beyond belief. From the “send her back” rally(s) and now this...Where’s aspirin when you need one?
My thoughts and prayers go out to the victims and their families. Regardless of the perpetrators excuse I hope he won’t be getting off lightly. Considering the horrendous damage that was done. Sick bastard I swear.

Judging by the number of horrible people making jokes already on Twitter ("Should never have made "Free", ha ha!") my inclination to suspect a sicko disgruntled fan seems to be quite realistic.

Besides, do Japanese authorities actually hunt people making extremely displaced comments about this or that on the web? That would help if an effective cybercrimes division could spot those people and lead to their arrest before they become too dangerous. |

Anyways, dang, you don't hear much of these types of mass murders from Japan that often, so it is a surprise. RIP.

That person will be condemned to death by hanging based on existing laws, and he will feel what true loneliness is by the time he is brought to the gallows. |
