Highlights:
>One month has passed since the arson that killed 35 people in the first studio of Kyoto Animation (Fushimi-ku, Kyoto), which has produced works that are loved worldwide. Kyoto Animation had six bases, including the first studio, which was damaged at the center of production. After the incident, “Kyo-Ani & Do Shop!” Temporarily closed, but Uji City's headquarters and second studio, affiliated company “Animation Dou” (Osaka City) and the Tokyo office continue to operate. The head office was busy responding to victims and bereaved families, but is now moving towards rebuilding the business. Considering the impact of the incident, a clinical psychologist interviewed all employees, including those who were safe. According to an attorney at law, several injured employees at Studio 1 have resumed work.
>Regarding the release of new works in the future, all items except “Violet Evergarden Gaiden-Eternity and Automatic Handwritten Dolls” scheduled for September 6 are set as “all under consideration”.
>The first studio was mainly producing new works. Although the paper materials such as the original drawings were almost completely lost due to the fire caused by the incident, the server on the first floor was able to escape the burnout which saved a lot of data that had been digitized (like original drawings and storyboards) without any loss. In addition, completed images, storyboards, and original drawings of past works remain in other company buildings.
>The “Professional Training School”, which has two courses, “Animator Course” and “Art / Background Course”, presided over from the second recruitment of the 28th term students who were scheduled to enter in October. But with the death of three lecturers, Masashi Kigami (who built the foundation of “Kyo-ani Quality"), Yasuhiro Takemoto (who directed over 10 works), and Mikiko Watanabe (art director) it's uncertain if they'll be able to resume the school in October.
>Recruitment of the "11th Kyoto Animation Award" has also been suspended. It is said that the staff is dealing with the incident, and future plans will be announced. The fan appreciation event scheduled for November this year will be held, but stage events such as autograph sessions and lectures will be canceled. Ticket acceptance is also temporarily suspended.

Month after and already moving on, this is good. If this was America it would take a year plus before any progress is being made.

>Regarding the release of new works in the future, all items except “Violet Evergarden Gaiden-Eternity and Automatic Handwritten Dolls” scheduled for September 6 are set as “all under consideration”. youtu.be/d_ezpvqYDqo So, it's safe to assume that only (vid related) is the only thing that escaped the fire.
> New Violet and Free movies for 2020 > Electric Catalog > Hibike S3 > Baja > Dragon Maid S2
All that list is "under consideration". Nothing confirmed anymore.
Hudson Bell
Kyoani will comeback. That's for granted, but I doubt they will resume all the works. Some of them might be eternally cancelled.
>all items except “Violet Evergarden Gaiden-Eternity and Automatic Handwritten Dolls” scheduled for September 6 are set as “all under consideration”
Fuck, I hope they won't cancel the Taisho-era thing
David Wilson
Don't worry, they will. No reason to assume the opposite. I'm sure it'll be a different kind of KyoAni, no wonder after suffering such a loss, but it will still be KyoAni. The people that died would not want KyoAni to completely go down in flames but rise from the ashes and continue to put out quality work.
Owen Gray
it's going to be a long journey frustrating to know that there's not suddenly going to be a fix - the talent they lost is irreplaceable.
Nathaniel Garcia
Does anyone else get sad when they start to post a kyoani reaction image to something?
It just stopped me from shitting on them like I used to.
Asher Cooper
Not anime
Adrian Lewis
Pertained to anime. Seethe harder kiddo.
Dylan Ramirez
Add more oil.
Lincoln Morgan
Long live Phoenix Ani
Go, Ishidate-kun!
William Lopez
Its pretty much completely destroyed. The meeting with NHK was to present it to press and lot of staff involved and materials were there. VEG 2020 Movie is safe, but Electric Diary is pretty much gone, along with staff who worked on it.
Nicholas Hill
So once the company is restored, what do you think they'll put out as they're first project?
Juan Ortiz
s3
Hudson Martin
Oh and I forgot to mention one more thing, you think they'll still make tv series or just move on to movies entirely?
Parker Richardson
Most likely Hibike S3. A shame that Kigami would not be able to draw the instruments again. They will need to find another specialist.
Thomas Barnes
>phoneposting
Christian Fisher
Considering movies are high quality works, I think Kyoani will return to their regular anime schedule again. You need talented staff to work in movies most of the time, and that's precisely what Kyoani lacks now.
Samuel Johnson
I don't know why people thought KyoAni would be gone like forever
Nicholas Parker
>Electric Diary is pretty much gone Up in smoke, you mean?
Formtv shows, what animation quality are you expecting from the restored studio? Will it be like/or similar to their usual works or reverting back the QUALITY era from the late 2000's era and like?
Gabriel Cox
Who died?
Isaiah Price
Was the AfterEffects guy among the dead?
Jose Hill
Whatever they create from the ruins of KyoAni will be the hottest studio in town, no doubt
Zachary Ramirez
That's post production mainly. So, filter guy, blurriness guy and sunlight ray guy are most likely alive.
Kayden Collins
I don't think so, and late 2000 Kyoani is actually even better than the current one, so that's not actually a bad thing.
Camden Williams
This is hearthwrenching. We all know the employees aren't in any kind of shape to get back at back. Plus, they lost 1/3 of them.
Parker Perez
>Psychologist are interviewing all employees. >a clinical psychologist interviewed all employees, including those who were safe.
What kind of bizzaro nip land is this, there is actual mental health care in japan?
Sebastian Morris
Apparently so
Austin Kelly
If it was America you would have had ten mass burnings in the mean time.
Kevin Hall
What can Yea Forums do to ensure they never spring back?
Chase Williams
>wanting a studio that provides the industry with talent to die I hate what this board has become.
Gavin Fisher
Probably tylo be chillin
Jayden Lee
You need to sacrifice yourself to the gods.
Jacob Lee
Studios don't "provide" talent you smoothbrain, they take advantage of it by hiring people.
Jayden Edwards
>Studios don't "provide" talent They do if they have an animation school you fucking in/v/alid.
Xavier Price
If Japan had psychologists none of this would have happened in the first place
>don't provide talent >even OP mention their animation school Stop embarrassing yourself
Connor Myers
>According to an attorney at law, several injured employees at Studio 1 have resumed work. I cant feel none other than respect for these people. I wish them the best of luck and fortune going forward, and hope they come back as strong as the strongest nihon steel
Josiah Watson
Go to the next big shounen convention and sacrifice everyone inside it for this sake.
Christian Rivera
Are they planning on leveling the building? I sure hope so.
Adam Lewis
Hatta said he wants demolition on the building remains to begin ASAP, with the possibility of a memorial park in it's place.
Sebastian Rogers
you can start yourself by never watching any of their shows and then stop using the internet as a whole.
Nicholas Diaz
>6.- Fan meeting for November will be held but with modifications. Jesus.
Clearly, god didn't want Electric Diary to exist for some reason and had to make sure it never saw the light of day.
Parker Nelson
So what happened with the rumors about the CEO being the main cause of low security on that day?
Nicholas Long
they can't really have a stage talk with Takemoto, or fan signing with Nishiya any longer.
Cooper Lopez
Holy shit you are still alive nigga
Caleb Lee
;_; Takemoto god rest his soul.
WHY do you keep replying to me with this, You've said it like 5 times in a week.
Lincoln Wright
Haruhi S3 when?
Ian Barnes
Who's gonna jump on that grenade when kyoanus puts out their next fag anime?
Are there still heroes left in this world?
Julian Parker
obsessed
Jacob Lewis
>If this was America it would take a year plus before any progress is being made. If it was America, the only progress would be in lawsuits against the company.
Austin Robinson
He has hired a hitman to kill you tripposting faggot
