For those who can't read moon, the gist of it is that they're grateful for all the support worldwide and will get back to rebuilding as soon as possible. They've also opened a deposit account for nips to donate to, and they'll be transparent about the donations coming in/the funds raised by Sentai Filmworks.
"Signs and symbols rule the world, not words nor laws."

they're a corporation designed to exploit money out of mentally ill otaku, stop feeling sorry for these guilt tripping barbecued plagiarising fucks

Seriously though Does anyone here actually care about this shit studios after they release pandering trash over and over again Maybe I'll give a shit if it was back in 2011 but they're shit nowadays with hyouka with their last good anime

the SWIFT Code KYSBJPJZ is for the head office of the Kyoto Shinkin Bank. So do I have to add the provided SWIFT and branch number to build the actual SWIFT code? KYSBJPJZ048 (the last 3 digits are reserved for specifying the branch in SWIFT codes).
As much as I’m always craving more art from them, I hope they take as much time to recover as they need. Even if it’s 5 years, or 10, or 50, I hope they know their fans will always be there to watch their next masterpiece.

The reality is the company will likely be done for if their insurance coverage falls short on covering civil litigation/settlements brought against them by family of the victims. Just the ongoing and lifetime care some of these poor people will require ought to be a staggering amount.
Noah Perry
>What if I told you it's possible to maintain a life full of loving relationships and also enjoy comfy adorable cartoons during the times where you feel like relaxing? I would laugh at you, because such people don't exist. People with a healthy mind and loving relationships don't need to watch cartoons about Japanese highschool girls drinking tea to relax, and the implication that you need such a thing to unwind says a lot about your mental state

People spend too much on consumerist crap already, donations are another step on the road of worshiping corporations
>supporting KyoAnus Good riddance, fuck moeshit and fuck normalmaggots.
Owen Cruz
You forgot >I'd shoot the flames away with my gun But the overwhelming thing is the obsession with money. Its really weird. Everyone is aware of high-profile issues with 'institutional' charities, and I don't doubt there are some shady people around. But the constant carping about it bordering on hysteria and panic at times I just can't understand. You put for your $10 in the collecting tin and you move on.
Then again, one of the striking things in America is outside large cities they don't have pavements. If you ask about this people act like you are insane, "why would I pay for something other people can use?".
Aiden Diaz
>He immediately admits being a redditor You are so pathetic it hurts
It clearly states the money is going towards the victims and families involved, you know people died and others have serious injuries that will prevent them from returning to work? This isn't a fundraiser for McDonalds to get a new burger on their menu.
Isaac Lopez
We already know that you only call it KyoAnus to cope with the tragedy Just stop already
John Perry
Why would you give money a faceless corporation that doesn't give a shit about you? Why not spend that money on the people who actually matter in your life, like your friends and family? (I mean, we both know you're a worthless incel that nobody loves but assuming you had people who cared about you)
Daniel Ward
So what you're saying is that you're angry your life is pathetic and that someone else is getting lot free money instead of you?

Also they should keep pandering and play it as safe as possible now. It's the only way to survive at this point and they have more right than anyone to considering the tragedy. We could've seen amazing things in the coming 3 years but now it looks like we wont see something great like Evergarden for a decade if ever.

Just my 2 cents, but I feel like a euclidean cenotaph or somthing like that would be much more professional in this case than a statue of moe or big tiddie anime girls.
Imagine people showing up to mourn this loss and being met with a big stone pair of Tohru's double dragons.
Well then change it for a statue of the staff doing something, holding all hands or walking foward or someting like that. I just don't want some block of stone with a scription on it.
Daniel Ross
I'd expect more of a plaque in dedication.
Noah Bennett

I tried watching VEG, but i couldnt get through the first episode. I tried watching it with some roommates and they told me to turn it off. I think Kyoani is targeting a specific demographic imo. Hopefully once kyoani takes a break they'll release some good stuff. Im pretty sure im just growing out of anime, or Im not trying hard enough to find anime I'll like.
Joshua Reed
>you can't have opinions ok whatever faggot
Samuel Lewis
So instead of a memorial honoring the dead by showing the characters they spent their life creating, the creations of theirs that brought happiness to hundreds of thousands to millions of people, and what the studio does it would be better to lie and have some crappy generic statue or artwork that has nothing to do with the studio, people, and their work in case people get uncomfortable?
Nicholas Bennett
You can have opinions. And my opinion is that its rediculous to complain about what a memorial for other people is going to look like.
Christopher Perry
>All these deleted posts
Wew
Jaxson Miller
If they decide to put a statue of bunnysuit Haruhi or Kawakami Mai doing the tiddy limbo in the park as a memorial that's fine, my opinion is a traditional cenotaph would be more appropriate. What they decide to do is up to them.
Cameron Morris
You can clearly tell who's a newfag judging if they got baited or not.
I know it's nice that you guys are defending kyoani but for the love of God please lurk more.
Hold on. These guys made Free! ? Shit, what a loss. I don't want to sponsor the moe stuff though. Can I donate to their Free! department directly?
Brody Baker
I'm just getting the screencaps as they were shown in the TV right now. Also they were cut with images of the survivor talking about. He looks fat and late 30s-40s. He only had a black mark on his arm and seems well, he can go back to work perfectly fine (Dunno if he was an animator or animation director, his face was blurred and his voice modulated too)
Last one is him jumping from the building, it all happend in few seconds so when the smoke covered all everyhing get fucked, he was smart to just run away to the window... Sad nobody followed him.
In the next rerun of the news piece (NTV24 plays the same thing over and over) I'll do pics of the guy then, so it has its testimony in words so peopel can tranlate it too.

Was really heartwarming to see so many people there, and not just the locals. I saw English, French and German notes of support on top of all the Japanese ones. It's senseless loss of life, but it's been amazing seeing so many people all over the world supporting them.

Why would they just get influenced now? Sentai already has distribution rights to a number of KyoAni shows. It doesn't seem like a whole lot is going to change about how they handle things just because a business is trying to protect their goose to get more golden eggs.

I just realized this is really going to mess with my KyoAni lost media arg.
David Ortiz
Do we know who Agni was and if he survived?
Jace Hall
Probably not. But dammit I got to make this image so it's not all bad. If we're talking about the same thing/if it actually happened. If not, then I just really like this image.
So what's the story behind that employee that apprehended the arsonist?
The one who allegedly was also lit the fuck up on fire, but became the Incarnated Burning Rage of Kyoani and went SEIGI NO MIKATA to pin the arsonist down despite the fact that he was you know, literally on fucking fire?
Did it really happen or was it just one of those embellished stories that came from the first few hours where accurate information was sparse?
Carter Rivera
>The one who allegedly was also lit the fuck up on fire, but became the Incarnated Burning Rage of Kyoani and went SEIGI NO MIKATA to pin the arsonist down despite the fact that he was you know, literally on fucking fire? Good question, we need the hero's name.

I mean, sure they're all enjoyable to some extent thanks to the KyoAni Production Quality™. But it's only their serious works that I find watching truly a wonderful time. And by serious I mean those shows that do not have meme faces like pic related in them, shows where the characters don't overreact to things and don't drag me out of their personal struggles for the sake of a quick gag.
With that said only Koe no Katachi, VEG and Liz were truly wonderful for me.

Preach brother, you're a true anime fan. Kyoani are the studio that actually give a shit about us, the consumers. A unique studio who's business model strives to deliver high quality products over maximizing profits. They care to put lots of attention to detail into their work, they care to raise the production standard of tv anime to movie quality and beyond with productions like Evergarden. There are lots of prominent female creators in the industry but there still more men, Kyoani bought us closer to a more gender equal industry as a whole. All this among many other things. Sure there are other good studios like 4c for example but anyone who doesn't at least think Kyoani're one of the best ever lacks rationality and common sense.
Easton Ward
>implying you liked hyouka Just admit you don't like the studio because you don't like drama/SoL...if even that, I doubt your bias is that legitimate.
Nathan Thompson

I sent 5000 yen ($48.32 usd) directly from my bank account to the Kyoto Animation/Hatta account and there were zero fees.
Gofundme has possibly higher fees than bank international transfers.

maybe Abe can sign a bill waiving any taxes on kyonani donations
Anthony Hall
Based user. >inb4 Hatta runs away with all the money when the lawsuits start coming from the families because he decided to put that circuluar staircase there I think you can actually DEDUCT the donation money from your taxes, that's why so many companies and rich people do Foundations, to get deducted.
Brandon Bennett
As opposed to donations to starving children and shit?
Luke Moore
>Olympics next year, close to anniversary of KyoAni fire >Abe decides to raise the condom taxes to 1000% and allegedly give all the money to KyoAni, but people decide to have unprotected sex instead, raising the number of pregnancies and babies mastermind
>With regard to the fundraising activities implemented as support for our company, we will post them on our website as soon as we confirm. If I'm understanding this part right (and the translation isn't completely misleading), it means they'll be posting which outside fundraisers are legit once they've gotten in touch with them. So just wait until then if you want to be sure you're not getting scammed.
Not him, but I understand the sentiment. I have always had a love hate relationship with this studio, I loved shit like Nichijou Amagi, Haruhi, K-On season 1, but then there was shit like phantom world, the second season of chuunibuyo, dragon maid and VEG which despite looking nice was so full and I tried to like it (call me a contrarian all you want) etc. The biggest reason for the anti Kyoani sentiment is the fucking fan base a majority of Kyoani fans just circle jerk whatever seasonal anime they're putting out and even then it's only newer stuff. I'm willing to bet that a lot of the people that hate kyoani loved Haruhi FMP and the older stuff and just get turned off by these fans that don't just accept formulaic anime but shill it without end like it's the pinnicle of anime and feel abandoned by the studio for not respecting their older content.
Owen Howard
You're saying this as if there aren't threads for things like Lucky Star every now and then. If you want more then make them. However, there will not be as much to say as about the newer stuff, and thus discussion is going to naturally center around more recent things.
Andrew Hill

They are doing the conversion to yen on the sender's side. So kyoani literally gets 5000 yen, NOT $48.32 and the bank converts it to 4970 yen or w/e

The closest to being a gag that I remember is right on episode one when she's ordered to change clothes and starts undressing in front of Benedict. Otherwise there were no reactions that are cliche to anime, not even when she grabs her cheeks to fake a smile. I'd say it escaped being a gag because of the character itself being depressed without knowing it and the atmosphere of the show itself, always taking itself seriously.
Zachary Bailey
So, are they making a new season of Nichijou?
Henry Bell
I'd like to see a crossover featuring a mix of characters from all of their past creations.
Ethan Phillips
Most of these people are tryhard retards from boards and discords dedicated to hate or millenials that did not watch anime when Kyoani released their early popular stuff like haruhi, kanon, fmp, etc.
Either way, they are here but don't respect or truly like anime. They are frustrated people that accomplished nothing in their lifes and try to pull other people into their misery.

>a majority of Kyoani fans just circle jerk >citation needed Eh, I just skipped some of their recent shows because they didn't look that interesting, but I also know they have the talent to make good animation with the right adaptation. I liked FMP, but to think the series represented Kyoani when Air and Kanon were basically airing beside them doesn't make much sense to me. The same goes for Haruhi when its genre/setting isn't much different from Chuunibyou or KnK. I think it's more a matter of the adaptations being hit or miss. Also, it appears that their stuff is more drama lately so I don't get why people are criticizing them for "moe," especially when you consider how ubiquitous it is in anime and its related media. Even if you look at stuff like K-On, they are still ultimately just adaptations.

Adam Peterson
>they are still a business, not a charity. Charities aren't the only things you can donate to, user. And the reason people donate is because they don't see KyoAni as a business that only cares about money, they see KyoAni as an animation studio that produces great content.

Giving a donation to a company shouldn't be a thing >anti kyoani Nope, I have K-on figures and imported the JP K-On box set, Music history CD set, both Donuts boxes, the JP and localized manga, etc, Difference is I bought those physical goods because I want them, not because I give a fuck about "supporting the creator" which I don't. I treat them like the business they are. I just don't like the idea of giving donations to companies because of the damage that mentality does and how retarded and subhuman that mentality is to begin with. Corporate cock suckerism is dangerous and has already done more than enough damage, the person that did this to kyoani is just a product of the damage Kyoani helped do. Companies already receive donations from people paying for digital, out right admitting it and people accepting it is the next step

>Are corporate cum guzzlers the only people allowed to post? Considering that you're nor permanently range banned it seems like it. t's common knowledge that Kyoani are a pro consumer studio who seeked to deliver high quality products over maximizing profits.

Anthony Young
>Giving a donation to a company shouldn't be a thing Not him. I usually agree but they fucking lost decades worth of work. Dozens were murdered, people had their lives destroyed. They deserve all the money in the world and it still wont make up for the lives or art lost.
>Companies already receive donations from people paying for digital By definition, that is not a donation. That is a purchase. Your approach of "these animators and directors are all just part of a corporation" is not shared by the donors who see the human element of the KyoAni staff behind their anime.
Jaxon Reed
I'll give you props on this bait, you had me going right up until that bit about the arsonist being the fault of KyoAni fans. Then you blew it.
Everyone has seen this already, you can stop posting it. The kind of discussion it generates is garbage
Aiden Clark
>I treat them like the business they are. No you fucking don't. If you did you would be helping them.

If corporate cock suckerism didn't exist then that person wouldn't have burned down Kyoani You people are acting like I'm personally attacking you when it is the opposite, I'm against tactics and mentalities that take advantage of altruists such as yourself because the society it creates also negatively affects me because I can't escape it. The donation shills are shilling to donate to the business entity, not to the lowly slaves that died because of the higher ups. If the donations were to only go to the dead victims' families and surviving victims to cover funeral expenses and hospital bills and not a single cent going to the company then I wouldn't have a problem with it, but even then Kyoani and the CEO and other stockholders should be the ones paying for that since their poorly designed building, its layout and minimal security are the reason so many died and were injured. >KyoAni fans I never said that, I said part of the blame goes to the type of mentality that KyoAni helped push. >giving a donation to a business is treating them like a business thats bait >I know this better than anyone i fought it on a daily basis to little or no avail.

>I posted against that too, even got a 3 day vacation for it like I did for posting against Kyoani begging for donations The comparison was made to show the sheer absurdity of peoples reactions.

The biggest problem was the few time and most of the people pancking after seeing the smoke. Noriyuki saw the smoke and then said "fuck it, i'm out of here" and went to the closest window at the front.
Juan Jones
>The donation shills are shilling to donate to the business entity, not to the lowly slaves that died because of the higher ups. The "lowly slaves that died because of the higher ups" are getting their donation too. Also Kyoani are akin to a family. The company need money for all the work they've lost. Not just what they were currently working on but fucking decades of art that's been destroyed. Can you imagine the pain of working on stuff together for decades only to see it all completely destroyed? They didn't deserve this and no amount of money will bring back the lost lives and art. BUT if it can prevent the slowdown of progress this would've caused them they need all the donations they can get. We need to fucking crowdfund maid dragon season 2, get the best animators outside of Kyoani helping them because they're going to fucking need it without Kigami and the other lost talent.

Wonder how many lives he'd save if he just yelled "OH SHIT IT'S A FIRE EVERYBODY JUMP OUT THE WINDOWS!"
They literally had less than a minute left until they all get roasted to death. That guy made the right decision in the shortest amount of time and bolted. All he came out with was a bruised elbow he landed on. He's 52, overweight and didn't break anything. All the young people would've been fine.

It's not 100% confirmed, but the worker interviewed "anonymously" is 52yo (He's also that age) and was in the 2nd floor were animators work. And there was no people in his 50s in the victim list, so yes, he's him.
Logan Robinson
Except if you are these guys. The OVAs were okish at least, including Die Hard Parody
Maid Dragon sold like shit, crowdfund something better.
Ryder Ross
It was popular overseas though and a good show overall even if not amazing. Other than that i'm thinking reboots of their old series with their modern production values. The money would help contract freelance talent like Yoshinari, Kenichi Takase, Imai, Toshiyuki Sato etc.. to animate in place of people lost like Kigami. It's the only way i'm seeing their upcoming works being of the same standard of quality. Hatta said himself it would take a fucking decade to get back to where they were recently as of right now. This really was the worst time for tragedy to strike. I'm positive we were going to see some amazing stuff in the coming years but that's sadly not how things turned out. The profits from such series can also be used to rebuild buy hardware to replace the destroyed. They could also sell digital copies of the anime on their website. In the meanwhile they could even redevelop tools.
Benjamin Johnson
Kickstarting this would make sense. Digital copies for 98% of the backers and those that back above a certain threshold get a physical collectors edition. Japan could still get exclusive physical bds as normal. It's the perfect idea.
Ryder Fisher
What do you have in mind then?
Cooper Allen
Even if there was the slight chance for anyone of them to be hired they wouldn't make it there. Those kinds of people would be lucky to get a job doing inferno cop inbetweens.
I really do dread this if it's an actual thing, I too thought of the possibility of western artists thinking that this would make an opening for them. considering how anime has become more normalfag-friendly over the years that would be a disaster
Adrian Parker
Are they going to include fire escapes when they rebuild or is that too much of a luxury for the underpaid office women?
Lucas Sullivan
What's more, they are a business that just killed over 30 employees in a horrific manner through neglect. I don't understand the urge to give the business money. Give the families of the victims money.

Ian Roberts
There''s still an earthquake
Justin Green
Hatta has personally asked the press and police not to release the list of names, so that families won't be harrassed. So far the only one known for sure is Naomi Ishida, the colorist for Haruhi, Hyouka, and Liz. Kigami is suspected as his age (61) was one of the deceased. Takemoto is suspected to be deceased since his father talked about both him and his wife not being able to get in contact with him - but we'll still have to wait for confirmation.
Grayson Foster
>Hatta has personally asked the press and police not to release the list of names, so that families won't be harrassed. That's really respectful, glad to hear kyoani is run by a man like this.

Oliver Johnson
Only an imbecile like yourself would make such an unnecessary post. No shit I can guess they're dead - but until there's official confirmation I can't say for sure, dumbass.
Kevin Clark
The way I see it, they're paying for funerals and, if japan isn't a fucking joke like US, top notch medical service, it's legally a work "accident" so the few they got left they've got to bring back. A company is only it's employees after all, without employees to make a product there's nothing to sell and shareholders will only flock to another company. That's why family owned companies are in a sense good, because hey know they're fucked if they treat their employees like drones. Company reconstruction to me means healing the injured, also psychologically, that they can get back to work, but you're looking at 8 to 24 months easy. Support to the victims probably means paying for funerals. Maybe a part of the money will go to demolishing the building, I have no idea how japan does it, but where I'm from you pay more for the sorting of the rubble than the actual demolishing.
Isaac Richardson
Hatta stated that he was looking into having a company wide funeral for the victims. No word on whether that's proceeding, however
Colton Morales
>back to rebuilding They can do that but the talents lost will never ever come back. Fuck this tragedy and fuck the culprit.
Anthony Thompson
Memorial service of some sort, I think it what was said.
Individual funerals (of the Buddhist variety in most cases) would presumably still be held.
Parker Thomas
I should've posted that.
Dude they haven't even been all identified yet. It's a criminal case, the police won't release the bodies for a while. My aunt killed herself after hearing she had cancer and they didn't give us the body for weeks, eventhough she left a letter. The funeral was a month after her death.
Ethan Murphy
I literally thought up until 30 seconds ago that the studio fired a bunch of people and anons here were exaggerating with these threads and thus ignored it completely
What's their reasoning for believing Interpol is involved?
Jose Collins
You can also use Paypal via Xoom.
Jacob Campbell
I think they conduct their own investigations and certain stuff. But I believe they speak to the police and KyoAni regarding about the fire safety and everything else.
Eli Howard
What is the mourning process for overseas fans even supposed to be? There's no vigil, no real place to mourn, no memorial service or anything. I feel alone when it comes to this.
I've really only been able to talk to my family about my feelings on the matter to be honest. I completely broke down talking to my mother last week, and even my father who doesn't care for Anime was sympathetic.
Xavier Gonzalez
Just find something positive to keep your away from all the negative media user.

I would suspect because it's a mass casualty incident. This doesn't have any political or ideological motive though so it can't be classified as terrorism I don't think.
Liam Bell

Well, not that we know of anyway. Who knows what the dude is going to say for his motive when he wakes up from the coma.
David Collins
So it wasn't a lonewolf? NHK conspiracy or is it the zainichi fault again?
Jayden Gonzalez
>speculation It's just that, I'm sure. From the same people who brought us the barisaku rumor.
Interpol doesn't get involved unless there's some transnational element. Interpol does not investigate purely domestic crimes, and they certainly don't get involved with fire code compliance.
Unless Aoba can be linked to North Korea or some shit like that, there's no reason for Interpol to be involved.
Grayson Flores
Is it an injury coma or are they keeping him in one?
Christian Reed
I don't really know, either.
You can send them a sympathy message, I guess (not that it will actually be read, since thousands of people are doing the same, but it's the thought that counts, I guess). If you're religious, you can keep the victims and their families in your prayers, and maybe go to a church and light a votive candle or several (though it's harder to find churches which have those, these days: used to be every Catholic church had them, now most don't, and many are kept locked even during the day except when mass is being said or confessions heard). You can always build a little memorial shrine at home a burn candles there, too.
Beyond that, I'm not sure there's much you can do. I'm sure the site is bound to become a pilgrimage destination for even western fans, especially if they follow through with building a park and monument. If I ever actually make it to Japan, that's going to be on my itinerary for sure.
But also, what said. We can't dwell on it too much. It's not healthy.
Landon Sanchez
Fuck that moeshit factory. It was literally the cancer killing anime. Eat a dick faggot lebbitor weekend ironic weebs and your generic moeblob habits. DIE IN A FIRE like KyaAni. FAG

Interpol have investigated domestic crimes in the past unless they are ties right-wing groups or gang syndicate activity. The arsonists has ties with right wing political groups in the past and we don't know how kind of information ties to his hard drive.

They had been commissioned to do something for the Olympics (that had been reported previously, I believe), but I'm not sure anyone has reported that the meeting was regarding that. Every report I've seen called it an interview, and speculation has been that it had to do with an upcoming project (likely either the VEG movies, or possibly 20th Century Electricity Catalogue).

It's for the Paraplegic Olympics. Not the 2020 regular Olympics

reminder to donate if you can. Thanks

>lawyers involved on how to transfer money from Sentai's GoFundMe to KyoAni >after hours of deliberation, the lawyers "find a way" >oh by the way we're gonna have to take 20% of the donated money to pay our lawyers >we realize 30% is a lot but lawyers are expensive >hey at least there is still 60% of the donated money left :^) The best way to help KyoAni is to buy their digital art or to give money to them directly. If you go that route, the only money you lose to "fees" is the credit card company's processing fee. By donating via Sentai, your money goes through a cc processing fee, GoFundMe's fee, and then any bullshit Sentai may or may not pull.
Jose Wood
no fucking way. got source? they said nothing on their social or their website or go fund me. they just sent an update on their twitter of some dude talking about them trying to work with them and cool japan to combat the tax problems of receiving the donation. is that it?
Matthew Reyes
There will be a decent amount of logistics and legal bullshit involved to move the money from Sentai's fundraiser to KyoAni. Lawyers do not work for free Organizers (fundraiser organizers) do not work for free Do you see the issue here? Manpower will required for this process and people do not work for free. If you want to donate, just buy KyoAni's digital art.
Ryan Miller
go fund me asks for a voluntary fee when donating. the money shown is the money given from what I know. lawyers take money but they don't take 400k even for a week of work. Don't get me wrong I agree that buying thewir digital art is the best course of action. I just doubt (and am hopeful) that processing the donations will cost a million dollars.
Josiah Jones
2019's biggest internet retard award goes goes to: (You)
Cooper Fisher
I obviously pulled those numbers out of my ass. I highly doubt they (Sentai) will take much (if any) but the bottom line is that people do not work for free. Lawyers will get involved and last I checked lawyers rarely ever work for free.
Blake Davis
I see fair
Blake Garcia
> besides the jpegs on the kyoani shop
This isn't a donation. That money goes to the company, the donations go to the victims. There's a big difference.
Michael Torres
Stop saying this
Austin Perry
I hate their mor shows but that doesnt mean i want their lives destroyed. Besides, they did make some good shows like haruhi
Samuel Jones
i really hope I'm wrong but do you really think it's possible to move $2 million USD from one country to another without any sort of fees or manpower?
Jace Nelson
That's not it, I'm annoyed by people saying buying from KyoAni is a better alternative to donating because they're two very different things. When you buy something from KyoAni, digital or physical, it goes to their revenue. It's company money. When you donate, it's for the express purpose of helping the victims and their family. KyoAni has set up their own account you can donate to, there's some guides floating around how you can do international transfers. This money isn't revenue, and should be completely separate.
Eli White
I hope they make a turnaround success of a production that doesn't rely on such pitiful sentiments
Logan Reed
...do you think Kyoto Animation would accept that?
Actually, is there any popular studio that wants that kind of connection in 2019?
Brayden Miller
The opposite. Hard times produce strong animators.
Austin Fisher
Normalfag retards have thus bizarre belief that kyoani invented moe in 2009 and before that every anime was Hokuto no Ken and Cowboy Bebop with OVA quality. It's a good way to instantly spot the tourists if nothing else.
Charles Foster

Benjamin Sullivan
I'm in a (probably sparsely populated)camp of people that considers stuff like Hokuto no Ken and Ashita no Joe incredible but also loves what KyoAni did, so I don't get people who bitch about moe or whatever. I love all kinds of anime- it's one of the few things I really enjoy in life.
Andrew Rivera
No, it was an indoor one. I think that photo's from Kyoto too. I was only in Tokyo, Akiba specifically for the memorial.
Henry Bailey
>kyoani invented moe in 2009 and before that every anime was Hokuto no Ken and Cowboy Bebop with OVA quality There is no way that's true sempai.
Asher Carter
This has never made much sense to me. At absolute worst, Haruhi popularized a specific style of urban fantasy show for a while.
Benjamin Reed
>raise the condom taxes to 1000% >but people decide to have unprotected sex instead
Hentai hasn't been profitable ever since OVAs died out. That's why the overwhelming majority of new series are adaptations of eroge and even those look like shit.
Jacob Adams
while true this shit ain't post WWII nor is it bubble economy burst. nothing will change.
Blake Morales
Maybe under a pseudonym. Shaft would probably take that offer. Trigger might take such an offer too. yoh drew erotica of lwa before and imaishi jumped on the first opportunity to draw an anime with fucking the moment khara came knocking for jax and amemiya drew ecchi calendars for gridman. In addition, occasionally non H studios would take part in the production of works. in 2015 or so there was some short about magical girls that have their tits expose when they fire their weapon. in the credit there was whitefox and appp.
Considering how limiting TV anime became compared to the back in the day ovas I wouldn't be surprised if there would be takers for that offer.
Adrian Rogers
there are like 2 studios that I like today, everything else is shit
William Garcia
>I completely broke down talking to my mother last week, and even my father who doesn't care for Anime was sympathetic.
You legit disgust me.
And you are spreading disinfo. Interpol is not involved.
Julian Johnson
It's now been a week since the attack and I still feel just as depressed. One week ago all of these talented passionate people were still alive and well, working hard to create work that would make their fans happy. People who were only trying to create art that would bring others enjoyment dying in such an awful way is truly heartbreaking. I knew these people, I had a personal connection to them via these shows I loved so much, and I know many other anons most likely feel the same. This wasn't just an attack on a studio I liked, this was an attack on my friends, and the friends of my friends. I don't see myself getting over this anytime soon.
You mind sharing em pleya? I haven't seen any good hentai studios or productions besides small pockets here and there in a looong while.

Channel your sadness into doing something productive. It'd be nice if some Yea Forumsnons decided to become volunteer firefighters because of this tragedy.
Nathan Allen
user, it's like you're in my head. The only time I've ever felt worse than this was when one of my closest friends died. I've had a personal connection to KyoAni for a long time that was rekindled over the past couple of years and this has been absolutely devastating to me. All the folks working at KyoAni ever wanted to do was channel their creative energy into things that would entertain people and they have been a source of comfort standing out from all the bleakness in my life. So to see them face something so absolutely ghastly and terrible is like an attack on my soul.
Thomas Williams
For all people with the intention to donate via the by Kyoani provided bank account:
according to various tweets: - you have to modify the account number or your money is lost - the receiving bank alone deducts ~20$ in fees - starting august the receiving bank will deduct ~40$ in fees
so better don't donate this way
Nicholas Morgan

Andrew Campbell
Oh, fuck off, you subhuman crossboarder.
Julian Williams
is it because of overseas taxes? do you have a source with those numbers for reference?
Connor Rodriguez
Western Union is continuing to hold my donation. The want a front and back copy of Hatta's ID.
I guess this only works if you are in japan.
John Thomas
Reached bump. good thread boys. Thank you to anyone who donated shared around or helped in any way shape or form. Kyoto animation is feeling our support. we are saving anime, boys.
Andrew Hall
nice bait
Samuel Adams
this is sweet user. a pretty good idea is to find a way to show your support to them. maybe try and draw them something and send it, or tell other people to donate. This is also a really cool idea

They've been working on stuff that got me into anime and kept me interested in it over the years until I really got into it. Inuyasha, Clannad, Haruhi, K-On, Hyouka, Chunnibyou, all of these I ended up watching as I was casually interested in anime before I really cared about studios or creative staff at all and they were all good enough that I kept coming back to anime. They've been there the whole time and the last few years of really getting into it they became my favorite studio and really distinguished themselves in my eyes as having ambishions to be better than the declining standards of the industry as a whole just because they could. I started learning their names and have always been genuinely excited to hear what they were going to be working on next.
And then one day half of them are maimed/killed in just one of the worst ways possible. Just an event that shouldn't have happened that played out in the worst way possible. It'll be hard to forget about this even after they get on their feet again.
