Even if they do somehow find a way, It'll never be the same.

Hopefully they don't fuck up the adaptations by adding OCs ever again. if they survive again that is

a third of them are dead
a third are too injured to work, some of them had to get arms and legs amputated
the ones that are still physically capable are likely too traumatized to keep working
most of them are women anyway so they can get married instead of being forced to work

I think they'll start working on a new project somewhen in 2020. I don't think they'll ever be able to pull off two anime a year anymore though, not until half a decade of successful anime.

>they can get married
Not with 3 degree burns

It would the same company in name only, all their talents are gone.

It's not like female directors are hard to come by because they get hired up by other studios so often.

>So, is kyoani forever screwed
Yes.
As dead as Gainax.

Women have an easier time finding a significant other than men do, even with disabilities. They'll be fine.

Realistically they're fucked.
But the fag in me hopes they come back better than ever and then release Haruhi S3 and Nichijou S2

nah, they will now use only CGI to make anime

>1/3rd are dead
>1/3rd are severely injured and permanently disabled
Do you really think the remaining ones will go back to work for KyoAni?

Also, their stocks are falling, and a creative production company's value of the small size like Kyoto Animation lies in the skill and knowledge of its employees.
This ain't some megacorp like Disney that has a gajillion studios and substudios and people working for it.

It's dead, Jim.

It's the only company in the industry that gives its employees salaried wages and one of the only studios based in Kyoto. With all the outpouring of support, I don't think they would leave unless the higher-ups formally disband the company.

>Not liking Dekomori

If I worked for Kyonani, I'd want to continue working for Kyoani, because fuck you arsonist.

I'd also want someone fired for lack of fire safety though, so who knows.

What is arsonist was MK ULTRA'd by other studios?

Eh, just blame that on one of the dead and move forward with proper attention to compartmentalizing the new offices.

>pure moe
No. They'll adapt Fire Punch instead.

Most of their institutional knowledge has been wiped out, between the destruction of people and documents. It wouldn't surprise me if they manage to survive as a company, but it will only be the same studio in name if they manage it.

Perhaps they can grow tomatoes like Gainax.

No one likes this annoying little shit

I imagine that the first anime they'll release after the incident will have a lot of resonance and it'll be automatically well-received no matter how good or bad.

I hope they don't use this blank slate to keep making the Free Movie.

Definition of insanity and all that.

Not in Japan.

The building was up to code, so the blame will be pushed higher up. Expect Japan to have a buttload of construction going on to rebuild thousands of deathtraps like their studio.

Their tomatoes are gone too, user.

Free! movie was supposed to match the 2020 Olympics next year, as things stand they'll either abandon the project or put it on hiatus like every other work. It's difficult to predict what will happen in the future.

No reason not to then. Sales might be even higher than expected.

What if I don't wanna?

Kyoani staffs can't do that anymore.

Not sure how this works in Japan, but is any social pressure going to be put on the other studios to lend a hand, or are they just "Well, too bad, I guess" and just keep on going?

>roughly 70-80 employees
>34 dead
>35 injured
Sounds like they are screwed. Of those injured, most are probably amputated. More people might even succumb to death in the upcoming days. It doesn't help that most of these employees were trained from the ground up in Kyoani, so they either need to start training new people or ask other people to animate for them. Physical damage aside, the mental trauma is probably going to be insane for any survivors as they would be reminded of the fire each time they look at their injuries.

Shaft and Bones have already stated their condolences, so I don't think there's any social pressure towards keeping to yourself in a time like this. Regardless, I think they'd lend a hand because nothing this severe has ever happened in the anime industry, and helping would be the right thing to do.

Try and see what a burn victim looks like. They have no chance of finding anyone.

I just came back where is the sticky?

When will the official death reports start to come out so we know who the victims were?

>Expect Japan to have a buttload of construction going on to rebuild thousands of deathtraps like their studio.
Based arsonist and kyoani teaming up to reinvigorate Japanese economy and fix the fire safety standards.

having sex

Most animators are freelancers anyway
If they really need people to fill up vacant positions, I can see many of the ex kyoani going back temporarily like horiguchi, takao noriko etcetc

Depends where the burns are and how severe they are. Bad burns on the head and face and hands and yeah, they're fucked, but otherwise they still have a chance.

I know a few have already posted condolences, and Sunrise also said something about offering support. Everyone knows the Animate stores are taking donations which might end up pooling with the international gofundme, so I guess we may see some stuff.

There were ~70 in the building, but Kyoani has more like 160+ staff total. Grim as it is, the fact that there was an external meeting that day means some of the 70 in the building may not be Kyoani employees, which would at least lessen the blow to the studio itself.

Is it time for his redemption arc?

Is this factual?

No.

It was confirmed all externals made it out okay. All of the casualties were kyoani employees.

That's just conjecture on the user's part. IIRC the overwhelming majority of the deceased were key animators.

>some sort of Hanako/Rin fusion

Most of the confirmed dead are youngsters in their 20s and 30s
Yes kyoani most likely lost their most senior animator but the others are alright like yamada, ishihara, ishidate.
If I remember correctly there are only 6deceased in the 40s

Are there finally confirmed deaths? Last time I checked it was all still rumors

Doesn't kyoani have a lot of people who can do other peoples jobs? That's iirc what always kept them being very consistent, and animation/key animation is something that I reckon most people who manage to get hired there can do in their sleep.

>Implying he wasn't the one who paid the arsonist

Not only did they lose the studio, but they will have to pay tens or hundreds of thousands to the victims and their families. Including people who suffer mental breakdowns for a few months. All the aid moneybis just peanuts in comparison.

The best thing you could hope for is that someone rich enough buys the company if he thinks the good will could make up for the financial losses.

I don't think law's for you if that's what you think.

>be the mastermind behind the fire

>bring back the golden age with Lucky Star s2 and Haruhi s3

>they will have to pay tens or hundreds of thousands to the victims and their families.

That would be true if KyoAni was found at fault for safety violations but that's not the case here. The guy locked the exits and started a fire himself.

The Japanese in general are pretty good at recovering from disasters so I think they will make it.

I don't know how Jap mentality works - they let a lunatic enter unimpeded and burn their studio to the ground after all - but (and this is just speculative) wouldn't it be incredibly difficult from an emotional/long-standing relationship perspective for these people to work together again amidst all of their previous, now-deceased coworkers?

Even if the ones who are suffering from burns/amputations now pull through, and I hope they do - perseverance makes for a nice story; would it not be a little, well...
>wrong
>immoral
>awkward
>distasteful
>soulless
>difficult
>weird
etc. for these folks - what remains of them - to get back together again and work on the same kinds of things they once worked on with Xian Cho Ling Tu or w/e, with everyone at the table knowing the aforementioned example would have still been working on that with you if they hadn't been burned to death?

I think some of you are really weird/too young to consider the likelihood of everyone wanting to move on and go their separate ways after an incident like this. Think about it:
>those who were unscathed by the fire would now have the social burden of acquiescing to/accommodating those who survived being burned alive
>everyone, burn survivors included, now have an obligation to not do anything distasteful in memory of those who died & themselves
>new people would find it extraordinarily hard to integrate into the now very deep, personal setting that longstanding kyoani staff would have with one another
>business deals would be prefaced with "oh shit, I really don't want these guys doing this adaptation, but if I say no then I'll be known as the guy who turned down burn victims"

Money is nice, but this is just one of those things it can't buy I'm afraid. It's best if Kyoani's journey ends here. Mind you, this is far from an optimal conclusion, but it's a sensible one. Everyone involved deserves to move on and shouldn't have to be chained to this stigma for the rest of their lives.

I was thinking about it last night, but I probably wouldn't be into anime to start without Kyoani, all their older shows are what started me off.

Is Takemoto still "missing"?

Its perfectly normal, The only Kyoani shows I liked were Haruhi and Clannad AS and I still feel bad for them
>they were an embodiment of everything i hate about the industry
This is plain wrong however

so why theres so many school shooters intead of arsonists? turned out to be, gasoline is way more effective

Your mentality is even more retarded than theirs. Guy did a hit and run the day they turned their security off cause of expected visitors. This wasn't people sitting around watching the guy thinking he was there for maintenance or something.

Scariest part is that in that same article the studio head says that there was no affiliation between anyone at the studio at the arsonist.

It really was just some delusional weeb that burned the place down on a whim. That's insane.

Everyone knows all the great creators are sad and depressed.
So what better time to make something great than after this.

Most schools aren’t fiery death trap in waiting like this building

The arsonist should consider himself lucky if there weren't any of the victims' relatives or friends vowing revenge and starting to hunt him down.

For me, It depends what genre it is. If it's a space opera, I'd be down to watch their anime.

He's just sleeping, user.

>if he get out with an insanity plea.
Even with his previous criminal history of robbing a convenience store?

Because most schools are mandated to practice fire safety evacuation several times a year and the way most buildings are set up is to have lots of fire exits and windows for just such an occasion.

Not to mention buildings tend to have sprinkler systems and are designed to contain/delay a fire for as long as possible.

There's no sprinkler system for school shooters as of yet.

>industry has a severe animator shortage
>potentially multiple key animators dead in addition to the regular animators
>trainees were the company's future
>potential hires will be cautious about applying to a studio who just lost a massive chunk of their staff to fucking arson
Even if they have the big directors, directors can't do much, even if kyoani make it through this they will have to rely on outsourcing some work to other studios for quite some time.

>There's no sprinkler system for school shooters as of yet.
Sprinkler system spraying peppers, perhaps?

that's really depressing.

well, there's enough talent leftover that it has to go somewhere/do something with itself. do you guys think they'll set up a small, new studio? or are they going to go find work elsewhere?

can they even find work elsewhere? it's not like studios will discriminate against them, but other studios have to look at everything some of these people are bringing in with them: a significant, life-changing, perspective-altering mindset.

Kyoto Animation has the luxury of choosing what stories they want to make an anime out of, so the 4th point is moot to say the least.

It's surprisingly hard for a company to go under. As long as the core team is around they can revive. Especially when they have good income otherwise.

Isekai'd into Gensokyo RIP in Peace.

There'll be a big insurance payout from all of this.

Once we get better confirmation of where the money's it should shoot up even more.

At least, that's what I'm waiting for.

Its Takemoto, lad.

He's almost certainly dead.

From the sound of things a lot of their core people were in the office and are probably dead or horribly injured at best. The financial blow of losing an office and all their materials is a bad enough set back, but losing so many people, many of them very important to the company, is a deathblow.

still pennies for the damage they have to pay

Kigami, Takemoto, Nishiya, and Ikeda are irreplaceable for the studio

They had insurance. As far as financial damage is concerned all of the donation money will do them good.
But of course the human damage and material damage cannot be undone.

>sticky is gone
ah shit
is there a list of confirmed dead names already

Will the insurance be enough to cover all the material losses?

Which studio's next?

Yes. Ching Chong and Huan Zuo Dong were among the newly confirmed deaths.

From the sound of things 3 out of 4 directors and their CTO is still alive. Loss of creative talent and the set back is great, but to kill a company means to kill the income. People (workforce) are, in the end, replaceable.

Unless the security system happened to be disabled. That might qualify as a safety violation.

When he said material damage he was talking about the animation work.

If by material losses you mean the tools and building cost, yes.
If by material losses you mean the art and digital data, no.

>CTO
I meant CEO, damn.

Don't worry, in a few years, Ikuhara will make an anime series that references this tragedy and Kyoani.

Disney?

The sad thing is, I can see it happening.

I would be glad. put some shitty live-action remakes on hold

Plus, the gofundme isn't going to the studio. It's going to the victims of the fire. It's not going to help Kyoani as a studio very much.

You cant replace master copies of show bibles. That's totally irreplaceable.

the studio is done.

every single director of talent is dead. most of their artists are dead. all of their material is destroyed.

It will take a min of 5 years and millions of dollars to get back up and running. If I were the owners and just lost most of my close friends and colleagues, I probably would just close shop, mourn and retire.

A lot of them were married, it's why studio 2 has a daycare for their infants.

the wording is a little vague, but that's also good for the studio if the employees need money for treatment

the guy from the sarin attack in the 90s only just got executed last year.

Not to mention the people left probably wouldn't want to work with anything related to their dead colleagues, and competitors would try to hire them.
I think at most it's going to be a handful of people left.

Its totaly not THAT, he actualy beat subway sarin attack if you go by death count.

Don't forget Ho Lee Fuk

The company is talking about how all their material, artwork, and completed and past projects were destroyed. They are also talking about leveling the studio building and building a memorial park for the victims. I can't see a way out for them. They lost 43% of their workforce 69 out of 160 employees) due to death or serious injuries. I really love Kyoto Animation, but I can't see them surviving this. Heck, my understanding is that they also used Studio 1 to store extra merchandise that would be sold at their new Kyoani&Do Shop.

yes, there is a NHK tv crew coming by so they brought all their senior staff in for interviews.

True, but the Tokyo subway attack is a greater burden for the country because of the religion/political reasons behind it, plus they hit at the heart of the city.
The culprit for the arson at Kyoani's studio is a sociopath who wasn't spanked enough by his parents when he was a child.

Heres hoping that they find new talent!

still seems like they tipped him and then waited around the corner with cameras rolling
horrible what journous can do for "exclusive" story

I think Geto Dawata also died

My understanding is that while being condemned to death, they don't just give them an out with death. They deprive them of everything minus a bed mat, toilet, and food. They are locked in tiny solitary confinement rooms with nothing, not even a book. They have nearly no interaction with anyone, they do not see sunshine or night time, they do not have access to the time and their meal times are randomize so they never know what time it is. They make them stay like this for at least 10 years before one day taking them out of their cell without notice and telling them at that point they will be executed in the next hour or two.

Then you should have saved it in cloud lol

Good. Condemned prisoners should either be hung (neck broken, not choked), shot, or exanguinated so they can be harvested as much as possible.

Someone PLEASE make a shop of some sort of cloud backup ad featuring the KyoAni rubble.

It's not like anyone gets death in japan either, you really have to do fucked up things.

I always find those ritualized methods too archaic. Sure the family and friends of the victims might see them suffer a lot but honestly keeping them alive until someone fitting needs and wants a transplant makes a lot more sense.
In the arsonists case it could be skin or limbs for burn victims.

Kyoani couldn't find a way (out of the building)

Japan dont resolve problem of hikkimoris and other mental problems like depression.
Some tragedy like this would happen
If the fat guy deserve death okay, but theres others people like him and no govern to help and prevent more tragedy.
Japanese dont call medic help for theses people.

>In Japanese society, the social expectation is that supervision or caring for people who have disorders associated with loss of mental and behavioural self-control will be borne by the patients or their families. Thus mental illness is not viewed as something that requires professional treatment.

Japan dont give a shit about threse people. The bae msut be awre with the fucking Olympics. Imagine a crzy guy like doing shit.

I still can't believe they are gone, lads.

I find it morbidly amazing they thought of putting a drain under the hung person to collect their bodily fluids when the die or if they need to hose down the area if their head pops off.

whats professional treatment really?

>potential hires will be cautious about applying to a studio who just lost a massive chunk of their staff to fucking arson
I think this actually makes it safer. Now an arson hit them once, the chance that it would happen to the same studio decreases. I would be more worried if I work for JC Staff or Deen

agreed, lethal injection is expensive and makes the body useless for medical purposes, all for the sake of "humaneness", it's not even less painful than being shot or hanged

My Solo Exchange Diary Vol. 2 by Kabi Nagata is a non-fiction manga and she describes her mental illness and depression and her hospitalization being treated for it.

You have to be 18+ to post here kid.

Around here mild cases usually get something like shared living under a physician's care so it's noticed when someone starts to behave weird/weirder and they always have someone to talk with and to help them with life in general.
The bad cases end up more or less confined to a clinic, I guess.

Japanese people refuse seek help for psychological problem.

What do they even use, a normal sedation can't be that expensive I think. You wouldn't even have to use too much, just enough so they won't feel the killing blow.

and they dont got any employee plans that cover mental health?

What was the arsonists reason to kill so many people?

I'd take a shotgun to the back of the head over any any of the governments mandated """""humane""""" ways to go.

I doubt.

>Psychologist and psychiatry is expensive for japanese
Guessing most people with more severe psychological problems won't have it easy to find a good paying job or a job at all that's really stupid.
The reason is most likely that suicide isn't as expensive as maybe unsuccessful treatment thus the costs for society are lower but thinking about how some of those people do work or even have children the long term costs might actually be higher.

The dark and brutal KyoAni, marking the return to the ultraviolent 1980s of muscular badasses.

I think that for someone who loves what they do as much as they did their work would be a means to put the trauma behind them, even moreso the need to make something great that their coworkers would have been proud of. They’ll rebuild, it probably won’t be quite the same after losing so many creative people, but it will be done with passion and honestly that’s the most I could have hoped for. To me what makes kyoani who they are isn’t the look of the characters or how a scene is shot, it’s the dedication to making something fun that anyone can enjoy.

Just have them getting 'shot' in the back of their head with an empty gun every morning and when one day it's loaded they will be used to it already and relaxed.
It's what my uncle did with his livestock because he didn't want them to be scared.

Just drop him into a cremation oven and you can save a few steps. Normally I'd say it's a cruel way to go but considering what he did it's perfectly apt.

Is there any actual proof that KyoAni lost irreplaceable master copies of shows in the fire? All I see is so speculation. I can't imagine there not being off-site backups of these kinds of materials.

"Cloud" is literally the dumbest buzzword there is.

I'd absolutely support a law that murderers die by the same method they used on their victims

Isn't there a manga where that's how the death penalty works?

You have a lot to learn if thats how you see things.

Head of Kyoanus literally said everything is lost. Anime industry uses HDDs at best, cloud is UFO tech.

>crazy person kills lots of people

No, it's the man's fault for doing heinous things.
A human adult is expected to act rationally and obey the law, a failure to do so is the responsibility of the adult alone.

Jap society is fucked one.

THIS. People underestimate the emotion known as Wrath.

At least the one killing themselves are doing society a favor by not being a burden.

It's a necessary task to help those still living.

They won't shut down, the real question is whether they drastically downsize or try to really rebuild

Hell, many of the disfigured and disabled survivors probably won't forgive.

I'm not saying that there is a need to do that, but I think I remember that blaming the family of a criminal is very common there

The ones who keeps saying the arsonist should be killed in odd and cruel ways.
He will be punished accordingly to the law which is likely death by hanging.

Funding and lawsuits.

Remember, Tuberculosis Hospitals also existed in the Colorado Mountains.

Taxpayers covered the cost of Mental Asylums and Tuberculosis Hospitals.

Doctors, real doctors, did prescribe sunshine and fresh air to Tuberculosis patients back then and this is a very real historical event.

You have Tuberculosis patients pack up and move to Colorado and then for the rest of their life, send letters back and forth with their friends and family while living in Colorado for the rest of their life.

The phrase "sunshine and fresh air" reffered to the Colorado Mountains in America and it was meant for Tuberculosis Patients.

You could google "tuberculosis Colorado mountains" or "tuberculosis Colorado history" for more info

KyoAni ceo and president have nothing to with the schizo faggot. It's not their responsibility.

President at the time said so.

Not exactly "laughable", but definitely the most annoying types were the obvious Yea Forumsedditors who were celebrating the attack because they think KyoAni invented moe in 2009 and ended the reign of "manly anime of old".

Unlikely. The building was following fire regulations and the president has zero blame for what what a random deranged cunt did.

>weeb
look at the newfriend trying to fit in

To be fair the mental asylums as they existed back then deserved to be shut down. They were big fans of performing lobotomies all the way up until the late 60s.

They have 5 studios. They can exist in some way even, although yes the way we know them is probably gone.

Personally a lot of good directors and animators seem fine and I really believe that theyll yamato damashii or something. I hope they do.

Victims will say why security system for the door was turned off that day

There's still no open stairs to pull it into the rest of the building, and plenty of exits. Also not so many stacks of paper and acetate.

>hey the place my family member loved working at was arsoned despite following regulations
>let's sue the shit out of that company and bring even more misery to the remaining coworkers and friends
Nah.

Well, who else?

I'm worried that there will be copycat criminals.
Japan has been getting more massacres where a guy goes crazy with a knife, now that this is out in the open, they'll start becoming arsonists.

So no actual hard proof then. Thx guys.

are there any lessons to learn from this incident?

Fuck trains and fuck train otaku.

I am not a 1940s Doctor but I could understand the mentality behind inventing lobotomy.

"Mental illness is from the brain, maybe there is something wrong with part of the brain I could remove, making everything better?" - 1940s doctor

Remember, stuff like MRI of a whole human body only happened in 1977

Yeah well obvioisly apart from them. Theyre not Yea Forums types though, its a site wide problem of faggots shitting up discussion, they just usually keep to Yea Forums or Yea Forums because these are the most accessible mediums but whenever something big happens like now they migrate to a given board and mass post their retardation.

Nothing that makes sense to non-schizos, he was babbling about KyoAni stealing his thoughts when he started the fires

Sure I get where it came from but that doesn't mean it wasn't fucking crazy. The asylums didn't treat mental illness; they took an icepick, shoved it up the patient's nose, and swirled it around until they didn't act crazy anymore. That was how all the asylums operated, and they deserved to get shut down because of it once people realized that shit was not fucking right. Unfortunately, most modern hospitals don't provide enough psychiatric care, if they provide any at all, so this is all still a big problem. That said, psych hospitals are just a band-aid. The idea is to not let people get so alone and isolated that they go fucking insane in the first place, but society doesn't give a shit about NEETs or hikikomori so they just seclude themselves until they don't have a connection to society anymore and then take out all their pent up anger on them. Like the arsonist (I'm not excusing his actions by the way, fuck him), that dude was muttering about how he was going to kill people for a while before he set the building on fire but nobody petitioned him for psych evaluation. That shit only happens when all of society has turned its back on someone.

If there had been a fire extinguisher I could have thrown it at the hostile and shot it with my concealed weapon, neutralizing the hostile and the blaze.

Isn't it fucking irresponsible for NHK to ask for security to be turned off?

Is there evidence that NHK asked for the security off? It's more likely KyoAni thought it would be a hassle to print badges for them.

how much money will the kyoani movies make in the next 2 years thanks to this incident?

Society doesn't give a shit about NEETs or hikikomori because adulthood and free will means they are responsible for being failures of human beings on their own.

God, here fag.

That's true but at the same time given what we know about isolation and psychosis you can't be surprised when it turns out badly.

Horribly disfigured women don't have that luxury, as a matter of fact I would argue they get treated worse than men in a similar situation because most people only value women for being attractive.

There's a certain stigma associated with those who are disabled/disfigured that is much worse in Japan than in the US.

>flay the faggot alive to directly improve the lives of the victims
I like the way you think

The security is to keep out thieves. Regular businesses don't protest against terrorists. The security being off during certain hours they'd expect the visit wouldn't normally be a big deal.

An employee on fire chased after the guy and that's how police got him you ass.

Was that ever confirmed? The avatar of kyoani's vengeance straight up flooring the fat bastard while still on fire takes a little of the sting out.

How long do I have to wait in order for my idiot dragon to thrust his hips at the enemy correctly after I summoned him

I wouldn't say fear for the lives now, but more of stepped up security. Now if an attack like this happens again it'll probably be an inside job, or ex employee.

Even better would be not having them pay money but social hours spend together, gives people actually extra time to learn to know each other on a level besides controlling 'bad' neighbours.

>would it not be a little [wrong, immoral, awkward, distasteful, soulless, difficult, and/or weird] for these folks [to stick together and carry on the work they were doing]
Uh. What? Difficult maybe, at least at first, but most of those adjectives seem like complete non-sequiturs. Carrying on projects/labors after terrible things happen isn't abnormal at all. Whether they keep going or not, there's really no logic to considering either choice somehow morally invalid.

>Playing the "you're all just weird/too young" card when you're the kind of autist who characterizes this kind of tragedy as "letting it happen"
Cool your jets, jackass. Even assuming you're not just a 22-year-old who thinks he's figured it all out now that other stupid kids call him a "senior", you're not really showing signs of having grown up much at all.

Literally 1 security guard with a taser or pepper spray could've stopped all this

Which animation studios have fucking security guards at the entrance of their workplace?

I wouldn't fucking know, nor do I know anything about the area but "fearing for their lives" is a bit overkill now that everyone knows that simple things can stop a similar event from happening to them, if they're sacred than 1 or 2 guards is all they need, also a fucking sprinkler system.

If was a lie, and he was just a lunatic, I will certainly hate him even more, but at least that will completely clean Kyoani's name and turn them into martyrs.

If it was true, I don't know... His actions blew 10 universes out of proportion but at least will give all this a more logical closure.

Too bad they lost a lot of priceless things

I think this is the school building that KyoAni used to base the K-On school on. It's not in use but became a sort of K-On museum because of fans making pilgrimage.

Did a quick google search on KyoAni revenue and they made a net profit of 1.3 million on 19 million of revenue in 2015. That 11.8 million will probably end up as less than a million in actual profit and might actually be a loss.

Actually if the Gofund reaches 2 million dollars, and Kyoani receive it integrally that's instantly 1/5 of that amount. With government support, and all Japan support in different stores, studios, donations, etc. They might have all that they need to bounce back slowly.

I bet Kyoani's next building will be a gigantic single floor building.

The most humane way to execute a person is to put them in the ground zero of a nuclear bomb testing site.

>walks in with a can of petrol, pours and alights

did the building not even have a security guard or does no one care about anime in japan

Is it time to use all the weebs' suffering to make a wish?

For depressed people, committing suicide is actually a selfless act.

Its Japan, security checkpoints are non-existent

Because shooting with a gun is safer for (You)
The arsonist got himself caught in the fire and is still unconscious, it’s why we still don’t know why he did it .

rip in peace

It's a building in the middle of a residential area in Japan. It ain't Detroit or something.

>He will be punished accordingly to the law which is likely death by hanging.
Unless some western liberals or some nosey international human rights organization decided to step in and pressure Japan against exercising death penalty.

They had a keycard system but it was disabled for the day because they were expecting visitors.

you have to go back

>my concealed weapon
you're not allowed to carry any firearms in Japan.

oh

how is it a miracle if they were working on it of course it would be somewhere on a pc to review or something

You would hope so but there are real scumbags who make these things as a scam

The time for otaku pandering is over. The silver lining is that anime studios will be returning to pandering to normies.

Where they even producing something this season?

living is expensive so they might need the money

Yes to cover my fat

>I don't know how Jap mentality works
Evidently.
The Japanese mentality is one that will immediately look to coming together to do the dead proud. The worst injured likely won't be able to return to work, but those unscathed or able to work will feel obligated to return regardless of how you feel about it. After the earthquake or any other massive disaster the locals didn't disperse -- they and their country came together and worked nonstop to get back on their feet. It's simply how the Japanese operate, and that's not even considering the work culture. In Japan you rarely jump around from workplaces and the relationship you have with your coworkers and company is much more intimate in the West. There is literally no way the survivors would leave their company after this, abandoning the passion projects of their deceased friends -- working on those projects will be their catharsis as will staying with the company. The Japanese aren't the kind of culture who find peace through moving on like some of those of the West.
>Money is nice, but this is just one of those things it can't buy I'm afraid.
Money is the only thing limiting KyoAni's return and it seems like that is being taken care of. KyoAni finds a way.

it is not as if they will hand over their staff for kyani to use

Not everyone is a fat sue happy American

The arsonist was a Trigger agent

KyoAni will bounce back from the dead but they'll make a grimdark subversion of the SoL genre because the staff's all depressed and mentally traumatized and it will be the Evangelion of moe.

>KyoAni is a feminist studio, that's why they were burned down to the ground *smuckles*

I will keep reporting your video until you can't monetize it or your channel anympre, alt-lite.

What the fuck would an "Evangelion of moe" even be?

Answer me faggots

Just a typical incel who won't honor the 33 who died. It's clearly obvious why over 3k disliked this. Fuck you till dead. There's a reason feminism exist, because of the billions of men like you who hate a fair game. You want to be a privileged man with an advantage. You also hate Yuri because the thought of a woman rejecting your smelly cock for another woman angers you.

So he's the manifestation of all those "kyoanus" retards and shitposters I see in sales threads.

Similar to Madoka but it'll make less sense.

There were some pretty awful stories coming out of shitty ones and then a journalist filmed inside one. The footage honestly looks like somthing out of a horror film

CNN and typical Western media: "The studio is male dominated and makes anime targeted to men"

This clown and other poltards: "The studio has so many female employees and le feminists uuugh! and makes moe trash directed to girls!"

Clowns everywhere.

>getting outrage clicks from moefags

The perfect crime!

New employees are more likely.
But
It wont be the same studio.
Remember. It's people that make up the studio. Recovery or not, it will never be the same, even if it suddenly becomes sun and roses. Not that I know what will happen to the studio, but it will change forever, and it's qualities we love wont ever be the same.

The best thing you can do is for yourself:- don't fall into a cycle of sadness. Time will tell what happens next. You can't let yourself dwell on it all.

Why did he post that video again, Yea Forums?

Mr. Obvious did nothing wrong.

The rangeban didn't work and he was getting traction on his shitty video.

that looks nice

What planet do you live on where every business has security guards?
Does your job have a security guard?

#bringbackbullying

Western media actually included KyoAni having a disproportionate amount of women when they covered the fire. A lot of chuds took that as an insult / politicising a drama.

Trip over and hit your head hard on concrete.

>the dislikes have finally outnumbered the likes
The fact that he has beta orbiters doing damage control for him is honestly dismaying. They should all die in a fire.

well it is politicizing the drama, who cares how many women worked in the studio, would it be less bad if it were all men and made hentai? no, not really

I wish someone would make an Yea Forums sings Baja's ED

They were horribly abused. There was basically no standard for admission, so rich families would constantly have any child who acted remotely delinquent admitted and lobotomized so that they'd spend the rest of their lives a drooling idiot. They were also less "treatment centers" and more "free human experimentation and lifelong cashflow" farms where they'd keep people for five plus decades without ever attempting to actually cure them so that they could go home unless the purpose pf doing so was to prove that their batshit new treatment, like cutting a fourth of someone's brain out, worked.

Sadly, instead of fixing these problems, practically every mental health institution in the country was dismantled and the entire field discredited. Even large metropolitan areas have maybe two or three qualified psychiatrists. So if you are mentally unwell in the US, you can be forced to wait up to two years before anyone can see you, and then you get bankrupted by the cost of it, in a field where treatment is spotty and potentially unhelpful. It's no wonder Americans get prescribed SSRIs so much instead.

Holy shit, IMAGINE being so upset that KyoAni isn't catering to your shit taste that you celebrate them being burned down to the ground like the edgy /pol/ NPC that you are.

Kill yourself in a gasoline fire.

The moralfags pretending to care.

This is a scar left by a 2nd degree burn after I accidentally poured boiling water on my arm when I was 9 years old. During the first days I had blisters, then scabs which would come off by themselves. It was painful and took like 3-4 weeks to heal.
I don't even want to think what those who got burned to death felt before going unconscious.

It's a big part of what the studio stood for, like it or not. I doubt any of the victims will be angry about this. It's misplaced anger on the part of people stuck in gamergate limbo.
The studio obviously cared about hiring women, so they wouldn't have an issue when foreign media when describing them mentioned that.

Mr. Obvious fishing for outrage clicks.

Just keep reporting his video until it autodeletes you spergs.

stop, he is just missing

He wasn't missing before the fire, so when the fire started he just went to osaka or something idk

imagine being this retarded to believe that

>Also, their stocks are falling
It's really mindboggling how some retarded troll was able to post a picture from the Nikkei Index telling people it was "KyoAni stock in freefall" (from 23,000 to 21,000 or the like, kek) actually convinced people that KyoAni was traded at the stock exchange. I blame the Stalker threads (are they still a thing, btw?)

>/pol/ posting in Yea Forums: How do you do, fellow weebs?

This video in a nutshell.

>A lot of chuds took that as an insult / politicising a drama.
To some degree, it is. Think how relative it is to the arson attack. Hardly if at all. Mentioning it is like buttering bread. Some would try to preach to those who care that women have a place, like a celebration of the success of a primarily female run company. Others, well...

That's a very complicated answer. A lot of people after seeing the movie One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest thought that mental asylums were little better than prisons run by abusive staff and that the patients were just "eccentric". Now the first part was genuinely true in a lot of cases, the mental health system was in dire need of reform. The latter however is simply untrue, there are people who really need care that society alone can't be counted on to provide.

Jimmy Carter when he was president tried to do reform and create a combination of home care and hospital care, but when Reagan got elected he scrapped the whole thing and basically just let them all out on the streets. And that's why today people say most homeless have mental issues, because that's where they are.

This.
If you have multiple YT accounts, use them to report this sperg for hate speech and terrorism.

>Yea Forums has been reporting this video all this time

Aaaaay lmao. Get rekt, moefags.

What a fucking edgelord saying controversial shit to get a reaction.

insurance only covers accidental fires, not arson

Ok but you're forgetting 2 big things
>they were genuinely trying to help those people
>technically, lobotomies DID work in "fixing" the malady in question, they just caused way too many other problems.

imagine what his corpse looks like

Honestly I tried posting this news in multiple sites and the only link that got traction was the one that mentioned women. I can't blame the media for doing that stuff.

ITT are probably mostly kids who never experienced real hardships in real life. We can laugh (and should laugh) after the tears fell to bounce back from grievance. It's a coping mechanism.

Yeah, Free! and VEG movies are in Tokyo with the post-production company, they have all the materials.
Still not a guarantee they will be released, but I don't see why not. It would be some sort of tribute to those involved who lost their lives, to not have died in vain, so to speak. But who knows what will happen now, it's all speculation at this point. IF the stoic attitude of the Japanese people is an indicator, I'd say they carry on and rebuild, as they have rebuild oh-so-many times after earthquakes, floodings, storms, fires etc.

A society that doesn't care for the lowest members of it deserves whatever it gets.

>reading Yea Forums posts to get money in his Patreon

The Mundane Matt of Yea Forums.

Because school shooters don't actually give a shit about killing the largest number of people. They want attention. If they wanted to kill a lot of people, they could just use 30 dollars worth of electrical supplies to fuck up the power grid during the US's current heatwave and kill hundreds of old people without the risk of ever being caught.

where's my phantom and amagi season 2?

I hope for the sake of the animy industry and humanity entertainment that they stop producing anime

That's some bs, it's not dark humour to cope with a feeling of loss, it's genuine hatred.

don't you gotta a black bvll to prep, Mr.obvious?

To all the people claiming Mr Obvious was condoning the crime, please show a timestamp. I think his take on this event was fresh. There is no point making the usual video: "people died in arson. Thoughts and prayers go to victims families. Yadda yadda."

If that is genuinely the approach you take when people get killed, you can never say anything offensive, and have to continuously wear a dark suit for grieving since there is bound to be an accident or a crime where people die somewhere in the world almost every day. And we hear about it in a few hours thanks to the internet.

Yeah, but still there was also some lending going on here and there. And as it's standard in the rest of the industry, there is no reason for THEM going TO KyoAni to help them overcoming the next hard months. Though maybe some would actually like to get a permanent job at KyoAni, they were sort of a role model after all.

Do we know who else died besides Takemoto and Kigami?

Is Mr. Obvious right? Is Kyoani really composed of feminists? Is the reason why K-On doesn't have panchira is because ONLY females believe that cute girls being cute (the tism, as he describes it) can be fanservice in and of itself?

kill yourself

Wait, Takemoto died? Where was this confirmed?

Who gives a shit, fuck off.

t. mr. obvious

This is me being optimistic but the people who have injuries shouldn't be too serious besides the ICU people right?

In the building you probably jumped out of the building otherwise you would have been knocked out by the toxic gas and killed. I'm guessing the ICU people were on the first floor for the explosion

This guy is genuinely a sociopath, isn't he?

Imagine having so little self-awareness and choking on red pills so much that you think a studio with more women on them (not even directors, just staff) is an indication of muh feminism.

>here's a reason feminism exist, because of the billions of men like you who hate a fair game. You want to be a privileged man with an advantage

K-on but they all turn into prostitutes.

I hope his life is pathetic enough to justify his content. Kyoani, regardless of if you like their shows, was a model studio for the industry in every sense of the word. Except for the spiral staircase They were one of the few studios where you could raise a family comfortably. They were the most nurturing to new talent and served as an example of how shows can be made without destroying their workers' health. Not only that, but they proved that this results in high quality craftsmanship.

Anyone jumping into this blind to push an agenda or make outrage money are reprehensible.

wow you seem genuinely mad, looks like the dislikes hit a nerve

"Low drop" hanging is more painful than a proper one. When it's done the right way death is pretty much instantaneous as opposed to slow asphyxiation. A firing squad execution is quick and relatively painless too, it just looks like a violent death to bystanders. If you want a particularly painful execution you gotta go the way of drowning or immolation(imo in this case that would truly be poetic justice).

Was the motive finally confirmed?

There's nothing to learn from crazies like him, and there is no way to "treat" or hospitalize everyone who's acting somewhat irrational. Our own society is going the complete opposite way right now, removing mental illnesses from the DSM-IV as if there's no tomorrow, and the SJW crew already coined the term "saneist" to shame anyone who implies that loonies should be treated differently than normal people.
There is no telling which person will snap and go on a rampage on which isn't.

Not so fast nigger. I won't click on your bait video so you can farm more views.

They should and play it safe. They really have no choice now. This sets them back years.

And the company will say that a security system isn't necessary at all. By that logic you could sue basically ANY building/company where you can just walk in the front door.

That applies to that user on youtube m8.

Heard that the Chinese came up with the idea of buying up all the tickets in order to support the studio. I'm not interested in the Free! franchise, but when/if the VEG movie airs nearby, I'm gonna watch it.

I've never seen a man so based and redpilled
He perfectly summarized kyoanus works: gay shit full of filler

How old was she? There was only one death in the 60s, and that was supposedly Kigami.

I hate the Wikipedia crew with a passion, but that might just be because one is a "charity"/donation link and the other is still a commercial shop after all.

Wait, I'm sorry. That was supposed to be directed at No deaths until now are official... Personally I'm in a weird state where I don't want to think about who died even though yes I know Takemoto and Kigami died. I just can't accept death and survival reports until the people break silence or there's an official report.
Even read a rumour Hatta Yoko, the actual founder of the studio died. If true I feel just broken thinking about how her husband and president Hideaki is managing the aftermath.

Sorry for the accidental quote.

I'd still give him the brazen bull no matter how unhinged he is. Mental illness it no excuse to escape the law.

There is only 1death in the 60s age group which is most likely Kigami.

IMO it's actually all the more reason to kill them.

What if they're so traumatised that they can't make moe anymore and start making edgy action shows instead

Feels horrible to say thanks for that. But here we are, thanks for taking that off my mind.

I and myself speaking for the rest of me will be utterly and thoroughly displeased.

That was actually my hope when they made Kyoukai no Kanata, it had surprisingly dark themes, betrayal, death, monsters, conspiracy - it could've been so much more. I still found it quite okay, but would've changed the ending quite a bit, wasted opportunity to be a really great show IMO. But I had hopes that this was a preview of attractions to come, a return to FMP times with darker themes. Not always, but once in a while some more "serious" show would've been nice.

>It's what my uncle did with his livestock because he didn't want them to be scared.
ooooof

There's a mundane cynical explanation: stressed animals taste worse. Having the animal be relaxed when you kill it improves the meat.

I low-key like KnK but I think that has more to do with being in life with Nishiyas design style.

how is reforming going to help the minds of taxpayers who will still pay for these abusers paychecks even if the rules are changed the fact remains that the system was so broken and the people so fucked that it needed to be entirely dismantled or have most of the people replaced and new ones go through a school which would take too long anyways

the entire thing was fucked people were disposing of kids by cutting their brain out quite literally and dumping remains of whatever conscious that was left after in insane asylums it was sad story

Yeah, we should stop treating mentally-ill people like human beings if they have committed murder. Fuck all this "muh equality" bullshit.

Is mental illness even real?
You can just pretend to be crazy and no one would even know. It is just like chuunibyou.
