For people looking for a collection of translated news, ultimatemegax has a thread on Twitter:
https://twitter.com/ultimatemegax/st...78230908276742 Another thread: https://twitter.com/highimpactsex/st...78795902070785 I have no words to express about this at the moment. Just at this time I ask people in this thread to be respectful and not get into stupid tangents about disliking some/all of their work or things like that, as it comes across as "maybe they deserved it." Nobody deserves this, so don't even go there. If you see posts like that in this thread or elsewhere on the forum, please report them so the poster can be banned.

I'm shocked. I just read the news. And really, it doesn't matter if they did this or that anime, the reasons behind it either, that's something inconceivable.
Not really relevant, but I wonder how a "fan" could do it, in such a lethal way. The arson took almost the entire building.

Dang, not cool at all.
They've certainly brought me many hours of light with their work; best of wishes goes to the victims and survivors. That just makes it all the worse. It means some loser did it for no other reason than malice. I'll just leave it at that; someone that doesn't produce and only destroys deserves no recognition.

There will be a before and after the disaster KyoAni. Whatever we will see a great recovery or a decline is up to fate. I wish for the former.

It's apparently been reported that the arsonist was not a current or former KyoAni employee. Sadly I feel more confident than ever we're looking at a disgruntled "fan".

BBC reports that the suspect had not been an employee.

A GoFundMe has been set up by Sentai to aid the victims. https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-kyoani-heal

This is such a horrible news. Japan is such peaceful place but you get these bloody nutters messing up the place. This is a hanging job for such monsters.
Prayers to those who died. May they rest in peace. My thoughts to the families and those who are wounded. May they get back on their feet quickly. |

IDK if it was posted before, but apparently, the suspect felt that he was "ripped off" so he committed the arson.

Meanwhile, authorities have found 2 barrels of 20L of Gasoline, 6 kitchen knives and a hammer at the studio first floor. I have no idea what he was thinking, but there is no doubt he was about to do a massacre. On a side note, just in case, I suggest not donating any money right now, even Sentai Filmworks's campaign. KyoAni is a private company, not part of Japan's state. As such, a sudden flow of money isn't something they can handle without care and they potentially can get accounting troubles because of that. So it is best to wait for an official announcement.
