| So, it looks some some jagoff just tried to burn down the primary Kyoto Animation studio. The situation is still developing, but at last count, 30 people were injured and 10 are unconscious. https://twitter.com/nhk_news/status/1151677791781437440 This looks really bad, I hope nobody's seriously injured. |
| there is already a thread about it here https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1792837 but good thing there is no deaths at least and im curious of the motive |
| Hope this isn't actually real, but just a rumor. What the hell, they didn't have to go that far!! What did the studio do to receive that harm anyway??? I hope the staff and everyone recover and stay healthy and safe! |

| I just read an article about it. This shit is crazy, someone came in, pour gasoline and set the place on fire. They said some people were injured, no deaths. The person who set the place in fire is at the hospital. All that count is that everyone was safe and no one didn’t die. I wonder what will happen to the anime they were animating this season? |

Probably might get delayed as a result and there is a high chance for poor production as well. |

I hope the fans don’t complain and trash the studio , bc some of them are not going to hear about this news. |

Apparently they’re saying there are multiple deaths now I saw that, I’m on twitter to see new updates. Apparently the guys is in his 40th, they said he poured kerosene on people. They found knives at the scene. |

| What the hell man... Some crazed lunatics out there. Imagine how much of a deranged loser you have to be to go to the lengths of setting fire to the studio, because you're unhappy about something. |
| this really sucks, the anime industry is awesome, it exists because people who are 'odd' like anime (ie me). cant think of a reason why anyone would want to target it. im hoping this attack was more of a personal attack ie recently got fired or something. i really do not want it to be more of an idealogical attack agasisnt anime or something stupid like that. wishing all those affected the best and hope those who have died RIP and those that are hurt have a quick recovery. really sad news |
| Thats fucked up, one of my favorite anime studios. |
 |
| Just saw the news, this really is messed up, I hope everyone that was effected the best and rest in peace to those who passed. |
 |
| I just don't understand people. I will be praying for everyone there. This is the kind of stuff that just shouldn't happen. Not to any studio even. Just why. |
 |
| Horrible news, what a laydown. The criminal must've been one of the longest longshots to fire his annoyances, to an anime studio is why I'd beckon one of the most fucked-up and insensible choices as a go-to. Praying for everyone in recovery. Really a very sad day for KyoAni staff and beloved love-hate fans of the studio. |
 |
| I realllly hope the reasoning wasn't because of a problem with an anime or such because that would just make this shitty situation even more fucked up |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| At least 10 dead per this new source: https://twitter.com/BNONews/status/1151718454753419264 |
| WTF I just heard of this. Horrible news. Some sources are reporting 1 death, but NHK have reported that police have confirmed several deaths. I can only hope and pray that the numbers don't go up. I can't fathom why someone would do this to KyoAni of all places. |

 here is the fire from afar. looks pretty horrible. |
| Hoping this doesn't kill the studio considering this was their main production building. |
| Multiple dead, 35+ injured, and 20 still missing from what I've read?! WHY?? What was this assholes motive? 😢 |
| This is crazy, like WHY??? People just trying to work ;-; |

| Wow today has been a shitty day in terms of news. RIP and I hope Kyoani recovers strong. |

But this feels like it was deeply personal. Probably a former disgruntled employee back for revenge? i doubt that since KyoAni is like the few studios that treat their employees so well like give them proper good salaries |
| Sentai Filmworks has set up a GoFundMe in support of KyoAni https://www.gofundme.com/help-kyoani-heal Donate if you can |

| I've seen some GoFundMe's already up by some (major) companies. Do remember that Kyoto Animation (nor anyone from there) has asked for money or donation, they likely had insurance, and Japanese National Healthcare is MANDATORY for everyone. https://twitter.com/DoctorDazza/status/1151728605027680256 just sharing that |
| Sad day for Kyoto Animation. :( Sounds like they lost upwards of 10 people. I wonder if the studio will hold together after this. |
| This is very Not Good. To quote my post in the Current Events thread: Saddened by the injury and loss of life, as well as by any creative materials that may have gone up in smoke... |
| Avatar character is Gabriel from Gabriel DropOut. |
| Here the BBC News article if anyone wants to read it. This is fucking insane https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-49027178 |
| I only heard about this news 10 minutes ago and I'm shocked. Animation workers in Japan already have it hard enough as it is and for this to happen is completely devastating. I know saying words online doesn't amount to much, but I wish the families of these victims all the best and I hope KyoAni can overcome this. |
  |
| This is horrible even for someone with my nickname, hope everything will be ok for them and the culprit receives an adequate punishment. |
| It's horrible, i pray for their families. |
| all kyoani database is gone tho, i dont know about the recent project i thought 10 people are missing ? one dead actually unfortunatelly |
 |
| Heard the news as I was about to go to bed, and now I literally can't sleep. Just why? |
 |

| 3 unfortunately dead currently and some of them is still missing |
|
| Anime = next level entertainment if it's really one of the reason. Knowing about the real motive would be crucial and I hope they don't fake the real reason of this arson. Sorry to hear that, when you see a big building on fire.. Quick youtube search |

| Oh, so this "burning down" situation is legitimate. The way people phrased it could mean a lot of other things, but it being that straightforward is just dark. |
