The GoFundMe has reached 2 million dollars. That's an average cost of a 1 cour anime production.

It's been 5 days and I'm still feeling like shit because of this.
Julian Carter
I suppose the 2 million from the Gofundme and the money brick and mortar stores like Animate in Japan are collecting will both be pooled together with the money KyoAni raises directly. So, all of it goes to victims and none of it to rebuilding. (I think that's proper)
Hunter Walker
>>Futoshi Nishiya (Character Designer of Hyouka, Nichijou, Liz and The Blue Bird) >>The Ikeda Sisters (Character Designers of Clannad, Chuunibyou, Euphonium, Haruhi Suzumiya) >>Yoshiji Kigami (60 year old key animator, regarded as the most talented animator in the company) >>Yasuhiro Takemoto (Director of Hyouka, Amagi Brilliant Park, Maid Dragon, Full Metal Panic Fumoffu) These losses are so devastating to the brand.

Samuel Baker
The animator school was in that building, right?
Brayden Reed
Yes. Which is why most of the dead are young.
Sebastian Brown
>Yoshiji Kigami (60 year old key animator, regarded as the most talented animator in the company) Kind of like the senior animator guy in Shirobako? The one who drew a lot of old classics.

That's generally how life goes. In the end you just die, dying at 60 isn't the worst thing that can happen to you
Nolan Garcia
Next time please include the cast of hibike safe. Many people are worried for them.
Jose Baker
This. I can't get the thought that KyoAni will never be the same, nor how KyoAni was one of the least deserving studios for such a tragedy out of my head.
Easton Perez
I'm not sure where the Animate money is going, but yes the Sentai collection is all for the victims and their families. I'm grateful that's the case too.
James Flores
>In the end you just die, dying at 60 isn't the worst thing that can happen to you Burning alive is the worst way to go out. If the death was sudden and quick, that would be a better way to go

Hey, remember when Kyoani drones laughed at Trigger patreon and said they are better?
Ian Robinson
Was the dick riding fandom all these years what led to the karma?

Hey, maybe I'd actually donate to trigger's patreon if they got arsoned.
Cooper James
If so, Triggers next.

How the fuck is that compostable to this?
Daniel Collins
All safe, someone started a fake rumor in regarding that.

Is 2m enough though?

I understand Hatta respecting the families' privacy, but are the names of the victims going to be released in the future when things will have cooled down a bit?
Carson Bailey
I believe

Liam Nelson
Nice of you to think 2m will go through. Even if it does its used for company survival and not for the victims recovery
It's all going to the victims, and I don't think we have a good estimate for what exactly will be needed. But "enough" isn't what's important here, every little bit helps to make their burden a little lighter.
Cooper Green
Not the gofundme. All for the victims.
Oliver Jones
Kyoani is heavily damaged but is still a profitable company. The greater concern is with the victims themselves.
Parker Campbell
At first I was at least glad that Tatsuya Ishihara was safe, yet now that I realize Futoshi Nishiya is gone, it's all just too tragic and I can never look at my favorite series of their works the same way again. I'm just way past being angry at this point.
>>The Ikeda Sisters (Character Designers of Clannad, Chuunibyou, Euphonium, Haruhi Suzumiya) The person who designed my waifu burned to death. I wish I could cry or some shit. Fuck why have I become so callous.
There was never any issue with lawsuits, stop reading "news" off chinese cartoon image boards without a source and actually thinking it's real.
Adrian King
This is how they will stay afloat. Big business in and out of Japan will donate privately through the bank
Hunter Sanchez
That's literally all of Yea Forums though. It's like saying kyoani has shit fire safety but Japan as a nation has this issue since the beginning.
Isaac Nelson
Worked on Akira, Macross, Grave of Fireflies, to name a few. KyoAni brought him in when they just started an animation department to mentor the young staff.
William Jones
>Worked on Akira, Macross, Grave of Fireflies, to name a few. Jesus, what a blow. Holy fuck.
Jordan Stewart
>Burning alive It was the smoke, most likely they didn't experience pain.
I just wonder if there was same gofoundme for normal japanese people in fact i wonder if anyone would even care if it wasnt anime.
Just saying.
Jacob Edwards
Talented traditional animators are an endangered species, user.
Jonathan Nelson
Just looking at his page on Sakugabooru made me realize what a massive loss this was. One of best animators in the industry gone for no fucking reason. This whole tragedy has me feeling sicker and sicker the more I learn about it.
I think I'm still in shock. It doesn't feel real. Feels like a KyoAni haters fanfic.
The largest mass killing in Japan since WW2 happened to fucking KyoAni. WHAT
Anthony Gonzalez
No, but it'll help those that are still alive.
Jason Campbell
That's what you get for doing normalfag activities
Jace Peterson
Yeah, I wonder why Yea Forums - Anime & Manga seems to be focused on a Gofundme for a studio that made anime.
Connor Cook
People will always be more effected when they lose someone in the arts/entertainment industry, simply because you make a personal connection with those people through experiencing their works. This is a huge difference to random strangers dying that you can only emphasize with but have no connection towards.
Angel Morales
it's on whole site
Brandon Cooper
>>KyoAni President Hideaki Hatta sent a letter to police asking them not to release the names of the victims Why?
Levi Mitchell
How fucking new are you? Yea Forums is founded on anime and Japanese sub cultures.
Joshua Jenkins
My favourite character designer after Horiguchi left. I really hope he's okay. And also, it feels bad to hope for specific people to be alive. Cause like, everyone matters and it feels wrong to care more about the ones I personally like the work of. I really wish this hadn't happened.
Chase Powell
Anime is being banned on other boards
Tyler Diaz
Japanese thing, you only post it after funerals out of respect for the deceased
Nathan Parker
>both Ikeda Sisters >Nishiya Fuck, I thought maybe at least Kazumi Ikeda was safe. I can't imagine how sad it must've been for them knowing their sister was also in the fire. But holy shit, three of the most iconic character designers in the studio, they must have designed like 80% of the studio's shows. At this point who do they have left? Miku Kadokawi and Takase only? I'm sad. I hope Horiguchi comes back at least, or their shows' designs may never be the same.
Elijah Hughes
No it is not, retard.
Christian Rivera
Because discussion should be contained here. Doesn't change the fact. I think you should go and stay go.
Oliver Flores
So Takemoto is definitely dead at this point right? RIP.
Miku's design is closer to Nishiya's but Takase's is lot different. So yeah the design would be more distinct than pre-fire kyoAni.
Joseph Moore
Just fuck off already ESL. You sound like a retard and post like one. Kill yourself.
Cooper Thomas
It's not banned per se, just look at Horo / Holo posting on /k/, Maki posting on /g/ etc. You simply don't discuss anime on non-anime boards, just like you don't discuss cooking outside of /ck/ (aside from Yea Forums EATAN and gamer fuel threads and /fit/ dieting stupidity), just like you don't discuss /pol/ outside of /pol/
Face it, Yea Forums started out as a derivative of 2ch and is inherently anime-based (and Japanese) at its heart
Justin Smith
It didn't feel real until this. And this is only the tip of the iceberg. The industry suffered a terrible blow losing these people and it's probably way, way worse than this.
Grayson Bell

Zachary Rodriguez
>That's an average cost of a 1 cour anime production. Haruhi S3 when?

Anthony Brown
I mean, yurifags are known for being very violent.
I don't know why you're surprised.
James Thomas
I don't even like Kyoani and I feel like shit too. I can't imagine how much worse being a K-kyoanus licker must make it. Hell I can't even type this without feeling like shit.
Luis Moore
I keep thinking about the victims and how tough their recovery will be. When I was in hs I had a classmate whose little brother was disfigured from boiling water and I can only imagine how serious the injuries are in this case
Josiah Thompson
>everyone matters and it feels wrong to care more about the ones I personally like the work of. Precisely, so many of the victims are fresh-new animators who have yet to make a name for themselves, and all of the work they had done and would have done is gone along with them. Despite this, they are all irreplaceable for their commitments and vision.
Zachary Morgan
This is stupid because discussion can contain myriad of topics from /pol/ to Yea Forums to /fit/. You cant even classify what is what. Your post is stupid.
Gabriel King
>people care about artists who dedicate themselves to expression and connection to the audience, despite shitty work environment and don't care about voiceless company drones What a surprise
Tyler King

Noah Sullivan
death by smoke is like dying by breathing knives.
Adam Jones
respect, something zoomer never learned apparently
Ian King
>respect, something zoomer never learned apparently
The fact that virtually all of the victims knew each other well and worked together is a particularly harsh blow, because the survivors and families also lost a huge chunk of their emotional support network. They can't focus on their work or talk to many of their friends to get away from the pain. The scope and centralized nature of the tragedy also makes it very easy to donate and know where the money is going. Buying toilet paper for a family whose child was killed by a drunk driver (for example) is technically a nice gesture, but there are more efficient ways to pool those resources like supporting law enforcement or donating to a reputable charity.
In KyoAni's case, they probably already have enough money to cover immediate needs. More important is to allow them to mourn in peace, because only the passage of time will make some things bearable. In the long-term though, money becomes more important. Lost income, therapy, and childrens' educations are all things that will weigh on families. The more generously the community can provide for them, the less the company itself has to worry about them, and the quicker they can return to the work they have dedicated their hearts to.
Dominic Green
Truth for what? So your paranoia can be cured? Nobody cares what you think.
Jordan Jenkins
>a bunch of people die >Americans decide to give them money
is this the most American thing that one can do?
Alexander Myers
You know, they wouldn't have died if they didn't insist on adapting lowest-of-low bottom barrel chuuni science-fantasy LNs.
Chase Powell
Fuck's wrong with you overemotive little twits? Are you women or something? You're taking this much, much harder than I did when my one good grandparent kicked the bucket. People die every day, get over it. You didn't even know any of them.
Yes. Humans are cucks. Everybody donated not just americans you fucking retard.
Noah Richardson
Guess you didn't like your grandparent all that much.
Carson Bell
I just find it deeply hyporcitical that mods stickied gofoundme for people they did not even knew just because it was ANIME RELATED. In fact no one even knows if those money are really going to kyoani.
Also japan is first world country i doubt they need donations.
As i said. Just sayin
Brayden Foster
So this is how a psychopath talks..interesting
Colton Lee
We could have clapped, or shot something.
Grayson Foster
It's true. Try to make an anime thread anywhere and it'll get deleted
Xavier Perry
No, rushing to make a gofundme so you can profit from it indirectly is.
Wonder how the likes of you get out of bed each morning knowing that thousands died while you were asleep. There's no reason for anyone who doesn't know these people to feel sad about their deaths in particular.
Isaiah Kelly
I'll give them money when they'll export dubbed nichijou season 2 by buying the BDs.
Andrew Martin
I'll support them however I damn well please
Jack Garcia
Guess you didn't like your grandparent all that much.
Gavin Sullivan
Never, because this money is going to hospital bills and not the actual studio.
Lucas Anderson
>people actually die? wtf man
Nathan Brown
You sound like you don't really like anime. If that's the case you can fuck right off. From Yea Forums.
Ayden Johnson
It was only a "lawyer" from a shithole country wanting to sue them.
You must have not liked your grandparents very much. Sad,really. For you, that is, since you can't understand basic human emotions.
We didn't know these people, but they brought us joy, and didn't really ask for anything in return. Then they were killed. Of course any normal, decent human being with empathy will feel sad.
James Wilson
You can hide the fucking sticky, you stupid retard.
Dylan Hughes
It's not like I go to the toilet six times a day to have a good cry because I can't take it anymore. And even if I did, so what? That wouldn't make me a lesser person than you. Also it helps that I'm not a kid anymore so I stopped caring about maintaining a facade of strength and impassibility because it's cool. But keep being an asshole kid, and don't bother trying to have empathy for anyone, ever, and certainly not the people who do stuff you enjoy. See how that helps you in life.
Lincoln Reyes
Not a fucking penny should go to new anime and all should go to the families and surviving victims.
Levi Lopez
You're clearly a newfag who has no idea how Yea Forums works yet try to question it based on your presumptions. You need to go back.
Anthony Gutierrez
I was very happy to hear that that's the intention of the Sentai fundraiser.
Cameron Cook
I don't think new anime was ever the point. I think that's the last thing on people's minds right now. Funerals are expensive. Hospital bills are expensive. Therapy is expensive. The survivors are going to be out of work for some time, but that rent still needs to be paid. This is the stuff the money is going towards.
Thomas Campbell
Anyone think that they'll animate kadokawa works again?
Julian Davis
No, but 2m even spread over 60 families is a decent gesture at least. It will hopefully take away some of the burden of funeral expenses for the dead, and medical care for the living. Finding out that your son or daughter died, and then realizing you need to write a lot of big unplanned checks sucks. As much as people like to avoid focusing on money in situations like this, it's much much better to only have to cope with your child dying, than to cope with your child dying and the fact that you can't retire for an extra ten years now.
Caleb Morales
I donated $5. When will they send out our rewards?
Me too I just want everything to go back to normal- but it cant.
Jacob Walker
>quadruple their original goal of 500,000 I still feel like shit over the whole situation, but it's nice to know they have so much support.
Jayden White
Why wouldn’t I feel bad for people who died in one of the most horrific ways because of some mentally ill NEET with a make believe grudge
It was a pointless and unnecessarily cruel way for these people to die and now their coworkers and family will suffer for the rest of their lives. Have some sympathy.
Isaiah Fisher
He did some amazing work on Akira too Such a big loss for the anime community
Nathaniel Fisher
>I think that's the last thing on people's minds right now A good number of people want them to get back on their feet to start making more moeblob trash
Brayden Roberts
>Goes on Yea Forums >shocked there is massive faggots here
Jayden Flores
I've always used his work on Grave of the Fireflies as an example of the best of the best when it comes to realism. I think his talents must have been instrumental in developing Kyoani's style, with their animators' deep attention to small movements and gestures that bring scenes to life.
I'm not even a KyoAni fag and it makes me sick to my stomach every time I think about it, I don't know what it is about this particular mass killing that makes me feel this way
Charles King
The loss of Kigami is bad enough, and I'm frankly miffed when people wish ill on Ishidate just because they don't like VEG. Kigami was his mentor and the least they should hope for is that whatever skills and knowledge Kigami passed on will live on through Ishidate.
It's like a never ending honey moon. Every day since it happened i've got out of bed so happy. Can't believe i'm really living in the best timeline.
Austin Campbell

Support can be shown in many ways and I think tribute videos are among them. Personally I've enjoyed a few AMVs and song covers or medleys that have come out in the past week.
Asher Murphy
Same. I'm not familiar with their works. I only began to feel sympathy after reading that missing girl's grandfather's account. Then I read what Takemoto's dad and wife said too and I felt my chest becoming heavy.

Jose Cox
Most burned to death rather than CO poisoning. The worst possible way to die.
That Aoba guy deserves far worse than the rope. Even if he is mentally ill he does not deserve to live becasue of it.
You can already see it in some of their release schedules. I can't tell which is more fake and opportunistic, crying over their sudden love of this studio or maybe making a teary eye video looking back on all they did. It's hard not to see them as opportunistic fucks whatever they do.
Ethan Jones
Yeah. Fuck hanging, burn the fucker at the stake. Let him taste what he has inflicted on others.
Josiah Long
I guess this raises the point of 'why didn't they just jump'. I assumed they all died of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Zachary Bennett
I really hate the fact that he physically looks like me. Now I want to burn myself so I won't see his face each time I look in the mirror. I want him dead already.
One of the other threads talked about how tortuous Japanese Death Sentence truly is. He will suffer.
Connor Garcia
Channel that into fitness inspiration.
Charles Bailey
His goal was the destruction of kyoani and honestly? He did a good job at it. Let him live and let kyoani suffer for the GARBAGE they produced.
no maid dragon, no k-on, no haruhi, no more trash in this world. Burn it all, Aoba.
Michael Jackson
Man, every time I feel like shit because of the incident, I feel guilty for feeling like shit because it must have been so much worse for the people who were there. Every time I get a little uncomfortable because of the hot weather here, I feel guilty. Every time I feel happy about something unrelated, I feel guilty for being happy at a time like this, and subsequently feel like shit, and subsequently feel more guilty. I even feel guilty for writing this out, as if my guilt was worse than the suffering of the people who suffered severe burns and lost 34 friends. How do I make this stop?
Carson Baker

Jace Anderson
YouTube keeps recommending me kyoani's animation videos and it just depresses me how many talented lives were lost.
Owen Gray
How about we boil all moeshitters to death for the crime of being alive?
Parker Nguyen
Hold off on these edgy things for the time being, user. I didn't like Kyoani too but this is the time of grieving.
I'm not sure inflicting more pain is going to make anyone feel any better. Every second of life is precious, taking that away from him is better punishment then anything.
Ryder Parker
could you imagine being one of the fucktards that donated? Kek
Ian Foster
Maybe he doesn't deserve to live, but what good comes out of letting him die? Have him do community service instead and he can pay back at least a small percentage of the damage he caused.
Logan Martinez
Yawn.
Caleb Davis
Even if the monoxide doesn't kill you, it can still fuck you up to the point of not being able to move, there's also the intense heat, fear, panic, etc. I assume that the ones who didn't jump simply couldn't.
Jaxson Young
>reproduced garbage, which deserves to burn. Stop projecting, retard.
Samuel Jones
I've been having the same feelings. Don't beat yourself up over it, we've all lost something important to us and being upset is completely fine. Like you said, what we're going through can't compare to the victims and those close to them, so the burden's on us to support them however we can. Try and focus on that.
Blake Brown
The theory that is based on what the culprit himself said is the >kyoani plagiarized a novel of his one. Nobody knows what novel, and it's likely he's just being delusional.
Jason Clark

I don't trust crowdfunding shit, it's always a scam. I bet gofundme itself and whoever set this up on kyoani's behalf are going to swipe a significant portion (probably a couple 100k at least) of that money for "overhead", pretty scummy to profit off of the good will of others.

I am pretty sure the character was based on Kigami, similarly as studio is at least partially inspired by Kyoani. the owner character is based on Hatta too.

Jaxon Adams
Ishidate is alive, Fujita hopefully too. They will be the future of KyoAni.
As for "KyoAni will never be the same" - KyoAni never "was" the same, it constantly developed and changed. Huge loss of staff and resources does not mean it will suddenly change its ways and start produce crap anime. Kyoani evolved and changed every few years (a reason why so many "fans turned haters" are bitter about it) and the "new" KyoAni will be great again.
Kigami is huge loss though, irreplacable - but there is generation of people he trained. Ishidate himself is his best student (though Ishidate while loving to animate more, now probably will have to focus on direction).
Wonder if KyoAni at least temporary will hire more freelancers or even invite outside directors - as long the quality control and passion are same, it could be interesting.
And unrealistic, but sure a dream i want to be real is Yamakan coming back. There is no better time for prodigal son to return.
Christian Taylor
>the owner character is based on Hatta too. Hatta would bumble around making stew in the kitchen?
Wyatt Cox
Yes. Monoxide kills you the same way cyanide does.
Hudson Hill
Hold on, what proof do we have of Fujita being safe?
James Nguyen
I think it should be up the the families of the victims whether or not the deaths of their loved ones are publicized. His request is made out of respect for them, seems perfectly reasonable to me.
David Peterson
>Yamakan coming back He hates Kyoani though.
Gavin Ramirez
I wonder when we'll get the next Kyoani TV anime I'm giving it a year tops maybe two depending on what happens.
>i want to be real is Yamakan coming back. This guy is a lunatic he should never represent Kyoani again.
The Shirobako studio owner was based on Masao Maruyama of Madhouse, and Jii-san is based on Yasuji Mori.
Isaac Clark
While it's true that most may have burned to death one must consider that they weren't awake to experience the worst of it from all the smoke inhalation.
>Ishidate is alive, Fujita hopefully too. They will be the future of KyoAni. Yamada is the future, that much is obvious, she was already basically given free reign there to do as she likes and had picks of all the projects.

Are you sure you're not thinking of 2 million yen?
Fire spread like crazy. Most "burned to deaths" got knocked out by CO and got roasted before the gas could finish the job. I'd feel worse for heavily burned survivors and those poor few that managed to suffocate
Wasn't there some quote from her where she was told "don't worry about the budget" for one of her anime? Or was that someone else?

Adrian Campbell
As a fellow Kyoani turbohater I can tell you he's crying tears of joy deep inside. He's just there to make it all about him.
>[An eyewitness] lady said between sobs, "Someone left in the building was begging for help from a window. I couldn't tell if they were a man or a woman. Their mouth was bright red against their blackened body covered completely in soot, even their face. All I could tell was that they were crying out "HELP! HELP" again and again. Soon they stopped moving against the window and burned into it like a shadow. Then I heard the din of ambulance sirens and helicopters flying by."
This stuck in my mind and will not come out. I'm sure the grief must be hard for the families, but the individual experience of those 34 souls is what really makes me want to see Aoba picked apart slowly.
Wait a minute if most burned to death then what happened in the stairwell where most of the bodies were in front of the door to the roof? It makes sense if it was smoke inhalation that got them but not fire.
Wonder how many sleepless nights has he spent dreaming of this day.

Living in a first world country doesn't mean that country fixes your problems for you when something bad happens. I guess you don't need money if you live in a first world country and your house burns down with your whole family inside? Of course Kyoani needs money just like every company needs money to function, not just ones in African jungles.

It's not like they'll be able to go back full force even if we'll collect 20 millions for them.
Bentley Fisher
Clearly the fire code was violated, and that is why there were so many casualties. Is there an ongoing investigation? Will the management be punished for that?
David Harris
It's really beyond words.
Adam Cruz
Fire dept. already said no fire regulation was violated and they passed an inspection last year. Don't get your burger hopes up for those lawsuits.
They already announced that the fire codes were not violated the reason there was so many casualties was because a man poured gasoline all over the place and lit it on fire
Michael Roberts
Burgers please get out.
James Gutierrez
>inheritance Most people don't have subtantial inheritance, what are you on? It doesn't apply much to this situation either. >insurance They probably had insurance on the building, but you're an idiot if you think this will be enough compensation to fix much of anything. Do you have any idea the kind of money scale businesses operate on?
Julian Gutierrez
This doesn't necessarily change anything. You can lose consciousness and still be breathing until the fire consumes you. It seems unlikely that even one of 19 people made it to the highest point in the building and avoided the smoke long enough to remain conscious. To be clear, I believe what I'm saying is 100% consistent with the medical examiners' judgement. I think it's simply a misunderstanding to assume burning to death precludes unconsciousness. All this really reinforces for me is how quickly the fire spread.
So, what do you think is the best course of action for KyoAni?

Adrian Nelson
I feel terrible for the victims and their families, but also for the family of the shit that caused this. Being related to a criminal in japan means: losing your job, basically getting chased out of your house, being bullied everywhere you go, no one would agree to marry into your family and so on. They'd have to change their family name and move to the place no one knows them in any case
Cooper Sanders

You're in good company. I've been crying and have hardly been able to eat properly this entire time. It's like this whole thing is a bad dream. I can't imagine a world without Kyoani, without these amazing creators that i never even got to fucking meet or even thank once.

Justin Richardson
Considering how poorly other studios treat staff I'd be surprised if they wanted to leave, Never heard a news report about Kyoani over working staff or giving them ridiculous hours or at least I've never seen it posted. The loss of talent is devastating but you can always train new ones and hope they surpass the old ones which is a huge possibility since Kyoani seem to have talented staff all over the place.

Charles Lee
I kinda thought this was a major factor in deaths as well. These male senior producers and directors didn't want to leave the young lives in there to burn by themselves. I'm sure other colleagues thought the same.
Blake Butler
So apart from Horiguchi who left the company, everyone else from this picture is dead.
Yeah, I come to think of them every now and then and it makes my heart sink. They created visions of the happy, care-free and beautiful in this world, so the way the reality of existance so brutally imposed itself on them specifically is a fucking gut punch. I can't imagine going through it, and I can't imagine being a relative knowing someone you love died having done nothing wrong in the most painful and scary way imaginable. Nightmare fuel.
No amount would be "enough". Anything is better than nothing, though, and the more, the better. It will just get as good as it gets, and that's about it.
Adam Morgan

To be honest, it's not about watching youtubers, but disdain for such manipulative tactics and churning out "emotional" videos simply to ride the wave of the hype while the news are hot (no pun intended). They are also all insanely similar, insanely emotional and maybe even will have a jewtuber crying in them and talk about how these cartoons changed their lives.
Sad news, yes, and talking about them is a good thing, but there will now be a wave of youtubers whose lives were changed by fucking K-on.
Okay, anti-moe psycho. I liked FMP, their work etheric, how they treated their employees, how hardwrking they were, their impressive art and visual storytelling. I wasn't really a fan of the moe stuff but i wasn't an intolerant anime harter like you.

It's that or be consumed by grief. For those directly involved in particular, but also for us to an extent. Kyoani obviously symbolized something for a lot of people. Even if they didn't know it themselves. That something has been crushed near to death. It's all we can do to hold on to what's left. The problem is we don't know exactly what is left yet. We don't know exactly what is lost. As that becomes more apparent the grief will just keep on hitting.
Benjamin Hernandez
You got a fast burning hot fire below you and you're in going up the chimney of that oven (staircase).
The smoky hot gas depleted of oxygen will get you and "licks" of fire burning up won't even really make a difference.
Before you ask: Why get into the chimney? It was probably because the room connected to it was still nearly instantly full with overheated smoky gas that didn't really feel all that different, so you basically might not didn't have time to think whether it was the better idea than dropping down from the 2nd or 3rd floor.
Nip fire regulations suck.

He's also in the middle of bankruptcy proceedings.

I would assume they prefer to leave it up to the family to inform the public when and if they see fit. Or to the affected people themselves, some will be permanently disabled, disfigured, traumatized. Not everybody will take well to a barrage of "wew, glad you're still alive, you made it!" when they just had to watch their friends and co-workers being burned alive in front of their eyes.

If you're actually having suicidal thoughts, channel that into finding ways to support them through this. Learn to draw and make some fan art, if you can play an instrument try and learn some of your favourite songs, send them a letter, etc. It's hard and it sucks but you clearly value them so keep living to find ways to express that.

Dylan Moore
>Japan doesn't have a mental health defense That's actually not true.
It came into play in the case of Tsutomu Miyazaki (the infamous "Otaku Murderer"), for instance. However it's a pretty high threshold. In that case, even though Miyazaki was found by court-appointed experts to be schizophrenic and have multiple personality disorder (he claimed his alter ego, "Rat Man," made him do it), he was still determined to be capable of distinguishing right and wrong, and therefore to be responsible for his actions. He was hanged in 2008.

I think Yea Forums's reaction here is pretty reasonable. We have multiple KyoAni threads going on all the time and most of them hit bump limit. What's sad is when you go to a mainstream news site and there's fucking nothing, or maybe a single brief mention about the incident from the 19th or 20th.

Such is life. I'm not claiming to be woke or enlightened or any of that shit, but seeing people getting excessively emotional and bewildered over dying is baffling. What is worse is the implication that "not expressing extreme empathy = heartless bastard". I don't see Japanese going batshit over what happened, so is this something exclusive to modern western society?

Nip fire codes are shit. The place would've never passed code in Europe or Burgerland. The reason why so many died was because the stairwells were not fire resistant.

Fire codes change in response to fires. Japan has been relatively trouble-free since ww2. There’s been no reason for them to change their centuries-old city.
Isaac Reed

Myoja should have kicked their asses into reforming their fire codes, but of course they swept it under the rug. I think the biggest problem is that there's so many old buildings in Japan made from flammable materials that they have no idea how to proceed.

25% to GoFundMe for using the platform. 15% to SentaiFilmworks for collection, distribution, and administrative costs. 10% to Hiro for advertising and awareness costs. 10% to Japanese taxes covering for-profit donations.
20% to KyoAni for studio recovery costs. 15% to victim funeral allocation funds. 5% to victim's families for potential wages earned.

>you have no job and no friends. you're right and i'm fine like this. but at least i'm having fun reading your shitposts in my two story mansion at $0 cost. enjoy working your ass off.
5th ranking Kyoanifag on Yea Forums here, yes. It's legit unless sentai want to commit public suicide. I've seen people talking about how it might not be good because who knows if kyoani will accept it or not. But one of the good things about a company getting a go fund me up so quickly is that it has help deter scams.

Are you by any chance an American?
Christian Ramirez
can't you tell by my spelling?

Go shit up the thread elsewhere, you don't even know who you're replying to.
Oliver King
What'd you expect from kyoanifags? Nothing against the studio and some of their work is alright but their western fans have always been some of biggest fart sniffers going. I honestly expect them to start calling themselves 2nd gen survivors saying they're going to therapy with ptsd and how brave they are for following the studio through this ordeal.
Easton Cruz
I've mostly coped, but I do get depressed when I think of the studio. My next watch of Nichijou is gonna feel odd.
And now I HAVE to buy that K-On box set. It'll set me back $150, but fuck it.
Probably jobless retards who spent 10 hours a day rewatching Violet Evergarden. Obviously it was a tragedy, but no one else is autistic enough to "grieve" for days over an animation studio full of people they have no connections to.
Dylan Powell
I'm only hoping there'll be a kyoani left to make threads about.
Nolan Nguyen
They will never be the same from now on. So deal with it.
Blake Mitchell
I wish I could be cool like you and spend 10 hours a day ban evading in a thread about a studio I don't care about and samefagging. Really living up to those 14 years of fatherly abuse.
this. go cry to your boss about your low paycheck, poorfag.
Jason Perez
They've been trendsetters for as long as I've been into anime. They've been responsible for creating stuff that has shaped me as person. And as I've come to really appreciate and respect the inner workings in this media landscape, that constantly seems to be riding on the cusp of implosion, they've been constantly making things that bring so much joy to my life with a level of craft that is above and beyond what most others are striving to do. They were tightknit, they were committed to fostering talent. Amidst all the doomposting and other legacy studios splintering, aging out or selling out they seemed untouchable.
And then some crazy fuck kills and cripples half of them in what was probably no more than 10 fucking minutes. I'm going to be upset even after I see them get back on their feet if they ever can.
I will be in Kyoto in October, and while I was hoping to stop in and pay a visit to their shop down the road, I guess I'll be resting a bouquet of flowers at a memorial as well. It's not fair, they didn't deserve this.
>my favorite animation studio is gone >fug I wanna kill myself >waah I haven't eaten in 5 days Sorry I couldn't take anyone in thread seriously.

So what brings you here?
Aaron Evans
Want me to tell you how I know you torture and kill small animals?
Adrian Jones
where the fuck did that come from? >oh you don't cry and grieve for 3 weeks over an animation studio in japan? >you must be a psychopath that rips apart small innocent animals Can we start calling these fags KyoAutists?
Cameron Lee
Not him nor a Kyofag. But it's pretty obvious you're a sociopath.
Brayden Wright
Being born in a commie shithole definitely needs POWER OF ANIME to uplift their spirits.
Christopher Foster
Try: >has no business in the thread >obviously tries to start up shit by samefagging himself into any conversation >spergs out like there's no tomorrow when people are expressing genuine grief because he doesn't understand why people would be affected by it so obviously tries to feel better and stronger than others that are at the moment more vulnerable than him >gets even angrier when he's called out on it Really screams self confidence and sane character. Your turn.
Asher Gonzalez
kys shane dawson I'm not even the guy you were originally replying to. I just showed up to call you what you are, a delusional and autistic faggot
You call these guys out for making some overdramatic Myspace-tier teen angst posts, and suddenly you're a animal-killing psychopath. Actually comical.
Xavier Brown
Yeah, let's ignore the fact that Russia is a shithole with one of the highest suicide rates, lowest median income, and highest alcohol consumptions in the world.
Carter Davis
>I'm totally not samefagging, guys You (((just))) happened to stop by, triggertard?
Asher Flores
...
Jacob Rodriguez
I mean, yeah, that sounds about reasonable, it's a thread about anime, not Russia. Good point user.
Because she's not a complete fanservicing moeblob loli, like the rest of kyoani's character's
Camden Allen

>bringing studio war shit here I fucking hope mods permban you. Kyoani are better. Like it or not Kyoani earned their success and never begged for money like Trigger. This is not fucking comparable, no one at Trigger was fucking murdered.
James Foster
Interestingly she's 14 in the novel but looks like a young adult woman in the anime. I thought she was at the very least 17 when watching the series.

Connor Allen
Don't worry, we whine about that one too.
Ryan Cook
Shitty harem anime at least have weekly chapters, as well as raw threads, and theorizing as to what happens next.
This shit has no news unless the list of dead employees gets released. And the CEO already said it won't be released due to concerns for the family.
Unless more people die, there's no need for new threads.
Sebastian Russell
>This shit has no news unless the list of dead employees gets released. We don't need more news there is plenty of shit that needs to be discussed.
Zachary Adams
we've discussed enough already. where have you been?
Justin Watson
Like what?
>pls donate >fire regulations >is he missing or dead
Shit that's been discussed repeatedly for the past 5 days.
Nolan Baker
Her age is unknown.
Not really. She's undeniably pretty but she was never given the kind of treatment previous KyoAni female characters got. And by that I mean no bikini episode or bikini posters, no close up on the ass and so on, no excuse to take off her clothes, no lewd-ish merch, etc. They approached her in a much more serious manner, even the parts that would usually come off as simple moe had a different tone on her case.
Because she's a purehearted killing machine. They did mentioned her age in the anime itself.
Christopher Lee
>pls donate yes
I haven't been here the whole time but stuff like anime producton costs, possible reboots, the momorial, all the decades of legacy that has been fucking lost, seriously crowdfundng their new projects like MDS2 to speed things up, how long it will take to train more animators, what will happen to the school if kigami is gone etc..
Aaron Gray
Anime said she was told that she was around 14. There is no confirmation of her age and besides she does look almost 20.
Eli Watson
You're not donating for the studio. The money goes toward to helping the victims. You earn money from producing products. It speaks volumes when you want donations to fund your anime when they should be going towards the victims.
Jack Ramirez
The GoFundMe campaign is HUMANITARIAN aid. This isn't a KickStarter.
Owen Long
Im not going to donate a single cent unless Takemoto is alive.
James Adams
>You're not donating for the studio. The money goes toward to helping the victims. I'm well aware. I was just talking about the other shit additonally.
Brandon Ross
I'm not going to donate a single cent unless everybody is alive.
Blake Brooks
You wouldn't want to offer any support to his family in the case that he isn't?
Anthony Barnes
>It speaks volumes when you want donations to fund your anime when they should be going towards the victims. I didn't say that you retard.
I know. Why are retards misinterpreting my post?
Nathaniel Robinson
Why would Maid Dragon need to be crowdfunded? They have 2 other studio buildings. You make that shit and you sell it.
