All of the key animation papers in the Kyoto Animation building are gone. Production on Dragon Maid season 2 was done in that building. That means season 2 of Dragon Maid will likely be pushed back.

Is this affiliated with Kyoani ? Because there are a lot of gofundme’s that aren’t associated with Kyoani

Sentai Filmworks set up a GoFundMe to help out Kyoto Animations in case you wanna donate. Here’s the link.

33 dead from an arson attack in a Kyoto Animation Studio…
Someone must really hate anime or something. Of all the buildings, why this? 33 people dead, for what?
This shows how it only takes one broken person to cause widespread destruction. All without any guns too.

Reports say he attacked them because he thinks Kyoto Animation plagiarized one of his ideas.

He reportedly sent death threats to the studio.
In case y’all think these things never lead to anything real.

Gun laws couldn’t prevent this. Japan from what I heard has some of the world’s strictest firearms laws.
All it took is one broken soul with fucked up intentions in their head.

For further context, this isn’t just weebs crying about a loss of creative talent; this is the worst mass-murder in post-war Japanese history. Nearly triple the toll of the subway sarin gas attacks in ’95.

How much do you want to bet they’re going to start censoring depictions of burning buildings and people being burner alive in media out of “sensitivity” reasons?
Even though this could very well have happened anywhere in the world for whatever reason.

Now new anime shows and movies from KyoAni either going to be cancelled (or at least halted for some time).

It might not be possible to replace those talents.
Just this one freak incident took a chunk out of the anime industry.
Fuck!
I loved Amagi’s Brilliant Park…

Fire Force is probably going to get delayed. (I mean, it’s in the name.) Fans will get upset, and I like that show too, but fuck ’em.

The entire industry is at a standstill because of this.
The only significant group of animated media that isn’t beholden to the likes of Disney and DreamWorks etc.

It’s a shame because I just heard about a week or two ago that anime was becoming more popular in the United States, but who knows what will happen now after this attack…

Well, the mangas will probably do fine, anime is going to be temporarily crippled.

For what it’s worth, he’s absolutely getting the death penalty. But less time spent talking about him, the better.
@Holofan4life
Oh, was it official that they were doing S2?
But yeah, production will definitely slow down, and will take years to recover. Not just to get back the physical building and manpower, but to heal the psychological damage as well. But they’ll recover.

Those talents are not going to be easily replaced.
Whoever they decide to hire, I hope they know what they’re doing. But God forbid they decide to outsource the work to…. Western studios or hire THOSE kinds of people. Otherwise we’d end up with yet another SONY.

If you are talking about the image of the burnt out Kyoto Animation Co. building that was posted here as a “joke”, yes, we deleted it.
And every time someone has posted an image of an IRL human burned alive on this site we’ve deleted it, too.
If you have a problem with that kind of censorship on this site, you know where the Site & Policy forum is.

Hopefully, it won’t take too long for the anime industry to bounce back.
@dt
I agree. It’s best to not give that shithead any attention.

I really hope that doesn’t happen…
