| Don't have the time to currently check but this was on Crubchyroll. KyoAni has released the banking information for direct donations. On July 24th, Kyoto Animation released a statement with the details on how they'll be accepting donations directly, with all the information needed for a direct bank transfer. These details (listed below) include a SWIFT code for international transfers. BANK NAME : THE KYOTO SHINKIN BANK SWIFT : KYSBJPJZ BRANCH NAME : MINAMI MOMOYAMA BRANCH BRANCH NUMBER : 048 ADDRESS : 16-50, YOSAI, MOMOYAMA-CHO, HUSHIMI-KU, KYOTO-SHI, KYOTO-HU, 612-8016 , JAPAN ACCOUNT NUMBER : 0002890 ACCOUNT HOLDER : KYOTO ANIMATION CO.,LTD., REPRESENTATIVE DIRECTOR, HATTA HIDEAKI In the statement, Kyoto Animation apologizes for the delay in setting up the accounts and thanks everyone for their "voices of support from all around the world." The statement lists three "basic" ways Kyoto Animation thinks about the donations going forward: 1. The money raised will be going to the victims and their families to help them with any costs, and will be used for the reconstuction of the company. 2. Will be transparent with what the donations will be used for. They will report on how as soon as it's been fully decided. 3. All third-party fundraising activites in the support of Kyoto Animation will be posted to the website as they can confirm. |
| I'm thankful for all the wonderful anime that KyoAni had brought me and the rest of the world. I hope they have a speedy recovery and I mourn the loss of not just their animation materials, but most importantly, the lives of animators and employees lost. Rest in Peace. I think any amount of donation will be helpful no matter how small. |
| Be strong and be the best on your recovery, Kyoto Animation! |

| I tell ya, as a KyoAni fan and an anime fan in general, this has been a really, really hard week for me. This studio was a major bright spot in the anime industry, not only because they always put out beautiful works with real heart and soul to them, but also in the way they treated their employees really well. To see this happen to such a fantastic studio when the industry is already going through enough problems as it is makes it all the more painful. It breaks my heart that someone would be so evil as to bring suffering to a group of talented people who were only inspiring and bringing joy to so many others with their art. And even if the culprit gets the death penalty (which he most definitely will), that still doesn't change the fact that so many innocent lives were senselessly taken. With all that said, I sure hope KyoAni can bounce back from this horrible tragedy. It's been incredible seeing the great amount of support their getting, not just from anime fans throughout the world, but from other people within the anime industry. It will probably take a while for them to recover, but I'm hopeful that they can come back stronger from all this. But right now, the best things we can do are to donate and to pray for them. Stay strong, Kyoto Animation! Thank you for everything! |
The studio that champions positivity and hope. |

Loving animation, young people having gathered from all over the country, it is a pity that our employees who have worked together for many years have had their future lost in this form, it is disappointing to say in these few words.

There is nothing further from our company to say. We are currently working for the family and relatives of injured employees, and the employees and families and relatives of the deceased as much as possible. Therefore, we decided to ask the following lawyers for media correspondence. For the time being, please refrain from direct interviews with our company, our employees and their family members, relatives, bereaved and friends, and our business partners.

| I am shocked by what happened, and honestly, no matter the reasons, making victims of so many innocent people is not excusable. It is outrageous! Even if someone is at fault, you still have no right of taking away his/her life. There are some dear anime created by KyoAni and some which I intend to watch and I really hope all the survivors recover and that the studio flourishes again. As for those that have died, I wish for them to rest in peace and that God comforts all their sufferings. |

| It was horrible what happened...Horrible and unbelievable.No matter what the reason is, we speak about the life of so many people....A real tragedy.I absoltely enjoy the work of KyoAni and I pray for the souls of the people who passed away and for the people who still fight for their life.Words are not enough. #PrayforKyoAni |
| The one who did this is such a sick person. What a sick person. I am more angry that the perpetrator is getting medical treatment. He needs to get punishment in the afterlife as well. No tolerance for this. |
 |
| My sincerest thank you to the folks over at Kyoto Animation. I don't know if I can donate at the moment, but at the very very least, I want to offer my condolences and thanks to a studio that has produced some of the absolute finest anime that have ever reached the medium. I wish there were a way to console the families and loved ones of the deceased, but the best I can do is contribute in as many ways as I can, even if in small ways, to the outpouring of communal support for those at Kyoto Animation. I do hope that our voices and love can be heard and felt, even if it's just a peep. Some of the stories regarding the tragedy are unimaginably grisly, and it's just awful to have to wonder for even a slight second what those affected had to go through. Nobody deserves to suffer the way those who have been directly affected by this tragedy have been. I don't want to make this about me, but I've always had a deep respect for the standard of quality and the amount of time you could tell the people at KyoAni put into their work. Clannad After Story, easily one of my favorite animes of all time touched my heart in a way that couldn't have been executed as well by any studio other than the one and only KyoAni. They've helped me through some rough times, so if there's any way at all that I can, I want to reciprocate. Again, thank you so much Kyoto Animation and rest in peace to the victims of the attack. May those who need it find consolation and peace during these difficult times, and bring justice to this bleak situation. |
| The Government of Japan is considering taking measures that would enable the domestic and international donations made in favour to help the families of the victims and the studio to recover reach the intended targets. It will introduce new tax breaks for donation made in favour of Kyoto Animation. Other plans include helping Kyoto Animation recreate the young animator training programme which is now gone because of the destruction of Studio 1. Meanwhile, Kyoto Animation has decided to give Chikai no Finale more screenings in Tokyo next month. Sources: NHK and Official Twitter of Hibike! Euphonium. Meanwhile, Kyoto Animation's President Hatta Hideaki requested for some time and vowed to bring Kyoto Animation back to producing animation that brought the people all around the world together to become the candle in their darkness. And he promised that Kyoto Animation will not give up without a fight. Source: Message To The People All Over The World. |

| Reports are coming out that KyoAni has recovered all the digitalized data from a server located in Studio 1 as it escaped the horrific fire. At least the work of those who departed and fighting with their lives in the hospital live on. :') The total donation also surpassed 1 billion yen. |

| I don't think I've watched any anime done by KyoAni (though I plan to), but I was still horrified when I read these news. It truly is a tragedy. My thoughts and prayers go out to those who lost their lives, are missing, or who were injured, as well as their families. I hope they keep pushing on strong. #PrayForKyoAni |

All of these people were Wonderful and Hard-working human beings and their works will never be forgotten! A couple of new recruits are among the list and this just wrecks my heart really, they’d potential to do so much but their lives criminally cut short. I just have no words anymore, other than Rest in Peace! #PrayForKyoAni #HelpKyoAniHeal |

| The love that has poured out from fans and supporters from around the world is helping the families, friends and co workers at KyoAni of those lost to survive and heal. Words cannot express the appreciation felt... enough. It is a beautiful gift. their work will live on with each of us. And our appreciation for what they created will grow with each time their work is seen. |

| Such tragedy. Some big names, veteran core artists of Kyo-ani and the young and up and coming artists who are just starting, never to achieve their potential, all gone. It's a really big blow to everyone, Kyo-ani specially, being a former animator myself the animation business is like one big family, even to those from different studios. We usually know each other. It's like losing your brother and sister or a beloved uncle. Really sad. |

| Shinji Aoba destroyed more than just tens of millions of dollars of materials, he destroyed the dreams and lives of the people that worked for Kyoto Animation. The people who died in that fire had talent Shinji Aoba only WISHES he could have. |

| Are there any clues as to why this happend ? Like What what his motive ? Why would he set fire like that? I thought his work environment might have been terrible and that was his revenge but from what I've heard KyoAni is a very positive example in the industry that treats it's employees better then most studios |
