How's that for a sick burn?

Hiroyuki Takahashi was literally confirmed alive just some weeks ago, so it turned out to be a rumor after all, at it was a lie.

Kasumi Ikeda (the young sister) is currently missing so I guess she might be one of the greatly injured. She must be feeling dead in life, her one-chan is dead and she must be in serious condition and unable to work again. Shouko is really a big loss damn it. Nishiya and Shouko were literally the the backbone of Kyoani's designs these last years.

Did they even make a single good anime?
It's not like it's Madhouse that was torched, c'mon now.

>Hiroyuki Takahashi
I think you might be confusing Noriyuki Kitanohara. He was the one confirmed alive (the one who jumped from the 2nd floor)

cool reply newfag, did somebody reply to you with that earlier?

what will happen to him?

Fucking hell

Not even considering the massive lost of talented animators. Hibike S3 (if they ever continue it) will most likely suffer a lot from this. Shouko and Nishiya did a lot of animation supervising for Kyoani and they were practically responsible for the whole studio to be consistent with their designs in every scene.

>lost
I mean loss

Japan hung more than a dozen fuckers this year in one go without even telling them they weren't just going for regular dental checkups. And they didn't even kill the people who made Haruhi, just gassed randos.

It was pretty fucking real. I honestly love Kyoani. I was watching the news all night when the arson happened and to go and see it in person was really sobering.

I even saw the area where people were offering flowers and offerings to the dead. There were TV reporters there so I left because I as the only foreigner there and I didn't know what I would say if they confronted me.

Anyway, yeah, I am rambling. Fucking crazy shit. Only light in the darkness is to see the support people have had for the studio and the nearly universal respect and love for Kyoani people all over the world have had. I know this is Yea Forums and I am supposed to be bitter and cynical and emotionless and hate everything but Kyoani got me into anime back in the mid 2000s so what can I do.

Wtf, I didn't know there was arson on kyoani
Holy shit. So it was this fuckface that did it?

Not as tragic as Naomi Ishida though.

I wonder what would happen if it was a jihadist that hated animation because it was kuffar.

There's more than one Yakuza gang. There's a thing such as rival gangs user. Also, the perpetrators were on the lowest end of the totem pole for the Yakuza. They were even excommunicated. They only got to walk free because they were minors when they committed the crime.

If they don't play the dark hero here they are fucking scum. That crime was against for anything that a person may hold precious. If it was in Italy, mafia would remove them no matter what family they may be from. The family itself would remove them.
Fuck this.

why is it always a guy in a red shirt?

Completely stopped coming here or watching news and all. Seriously I just took a nap from anything.
Fuck I'm really sad to read about news of the arson.

There has in fact been an unprecedented and rapid escalation in the clownishness and in-group lingo can never be "signalling" but nice try at trying to once again turn valid insults (virtue signalling) from 100 years ago back on the people rightly attacking you with them now. You're the typical collage kid who doesn't know what "snowflakes" are and tries to cleverly reverse it back on Republicans. Cringe.

Did the perp die yet or is he in prison? Last I heard he was being treated for bad burns

This was a tragedy of an apocalyptic scale and we're never going to see a sequel of Haruhi again.
The director of Violet Evergarden is still alive so there are hopes for a sequel, but what will happen to the others?

Are you retarded? All virtue signalling is in-group. It doesn't work on people you fundamentally disagree with because they don't consider the same things to be virtuous.

Stop trying to hide you're a crossboarding nigger.

You honestly think they love their work and isn't just collecting another paycheck?
You actually, unironically think they care about "you" and not money?

It feels off to me, this yakuza claim. Too easy. It's just a society that created some fucked up, amoral animals who can't cope with that fact (and this isn't a unique incident) that they exist as regular citizens.

They just want it to have been people who are already accepted as criminals because it doesn't challenge them to face ugly reality.

Incidentally, yakuza are well known for hating and destroying young dumbasses who draw attention, throw weight around, get into fights or anything else that gives them a bad reputation as thugs (which they associate with foreigners). Losing your cool in general and certainly sloppy murder for no reason is a ticket to getting disappeared pronto.

I feel so bad for them and all their families.

Not to mention most of them were cute virgins

>All virtue signalling is in-group
Bzzzt wrong, retard. Virtue signals are to annouce and convince anyone and everyone of your righteousness about whatever mundane crap you're preaching. Hence comment sections and 4channel here being full of you fucks right in this thread. You came into a thread full of openly hostile and downright evil shitposting mixed with most likely some actual vile hate and tried to SIGNAL your VIRTUE by laughably trying to insult the scumbags and trolls who are least affected by it. You are white knighting in a thread about anime imaginary girls getting wrecked. Unironically, with total tone deafness and 0 self awareness. You're done and ignored and can't even make a reply that gets read.

You need to grow up a little and do some self-reflecting. Ideally leave California when you graduate, see the real world. And That's A Good Thing!

But they loved seeing idols crash and burn. Like Aya Hirano.

After you.

Wait, Aya Hirano is dead?

Nobody ever became a goddamn anime animator to get rich. They make jack shit, even at better studios like Kyoani they're lower class. Nobody ever did this job for any reason other than obsessive love for the craft. Edgelord.

Ouch! My hand!

Nope, summer. Old Yea Forums loved Lucky Star and would have cried bloody tears about this. They would also have laughed at carnage but certainly not celebrated.

You're talking about pre-/jp/ segregation?

I didn't say that?

Fixed your attempt to dodge responses. It's not a thing, newfag.

No, she wasn't even in Japan. She tweeted from NYC with pictures of her going to musicals, and later her in iirc the Grand Canyon or maybe Bryce Canyon a few days later. She didn't mention it at all until a week later when she retweeted some news, the #prayforkyoani hashtag, and changed her profile pic to her wearing the yellow Haruhi ribbon in her hair.

Info on the bassist is not forthcoming as of now.

I'm not buying the yakuza protecting the killer claim either. Currently they're too notorious for it to be worth protecting them.
Maybe they're walking around safely due to their fame/lack of (extreme) vigilantism in Japan.

I wouldn't be that bleak. They did it for the money yes, but they probably also liked doing it or were working towards their end goal. Reality isn't gray/full HD colour like that.

>Never in millennia has there been shit like encouraging children to get mutilated as a fashion statement for parents, just off the top of my head.
Circumcision and FGM has been going on for centuries.
> Virtue signals are to annouce and convince anyone and everyone of your righteousness about whatever mundane crap you're preaching
Correct, that is the intent. This doesn't work that way because the virtues each group holds dear are different. Your group for example, considers seeing the world as a clownworld virtuous and you're signalling that to everyone but only your group will see that as righteous.

Post all the horrible insults you want about Kyoani girls, I don't mind. Hint: I'm a radical centis so I don't care about shit like that. You really need to step away from politics a little bucko.

Aya Hirano received less shit in the first few months following the scandal than she receives now.

>There has in fact been an unprecedented and rapid escalation in the clownishness
There hasn't been, it's just a different type. If you've been here long enough you'll remember people on Yea Forums unironically using "LOL" and finding memes like shoop da woop funny. You'll remember all kinds of other things that are "cringy" to look back on because they were the product of their time.

Seems like most of the VEG staff made it out alive.

>Hibike S3 (if they ever continue it)

I don't think that's happening now and it's interesting how that works out. I was one of the people who went to see the final Hibike film when it premiered in US theaters on July 11 and I had a great time and couldn't wait for the continuation that they were so obviously leading up to. Then that motherfucker went and killed the soul of the show and of KyoAni in general just like that. All these people probably had a lot of years left ahead of them and plenty more stuff to make and now they're all dead.

It's just been a bit over a month since the killings and it's felt like a fucking year, man. KyoAni was my favorite studio and I think they had potential to do mind-blowing things, and now all that's gone. I've mostly retreated into manga now because I feel like anime is kind of dead at this point.

Turf wars?

Youre legacy will involve nothing because you're a fat neckbeard loser.

It's not all gone stop being so dramatic.

Well have fun getting (you)s before getting banned

Kyoani can still make S3, but it would probably look medicore compared to before.

The still have the VEG special coming out next month.
Don't give up hope, user! Kyoani was a very special studio and I'm sure the survivors want it to be like that in the future too.

Morbid to say but the majority of them were interns.

Can you stop justifying his shit in the most ironic way?

Not all gone. Just the best people, is all, but not all gone tho

Barisaku theory was proven wrong within just a couple of days, user.

He's objectively insane and it's moronic not to say so.

justifying what? that he's crazy?

I was talking about this fucking user you fucking seniles

Most of them were interns, sure, but losing Kigami and all of those 40-something people who had been with company for years was catastrophic. They'll never be able to recover from that short of necromancy.

I think you got the wrong website.

Grow up.

I hardly visit threads anymore since it's usually just filled with generic crossboarding canned-replies. Even making my own threads is a chore since those idiots flood in and shit them up too. Or better yet they start asking for "sauce" and 10 retards spoonfeed them within 5 minutes. Almost as if they think they're getting post karma.

No you

I'd argue they should go for something less protected so they can bust out if there's trouble. The problem in this case was that their studio was too robust to break through and escape.
If a knifeman sneaks into their fortress, they're trapped and fucked.

That's the price for allowing shounenshit to exist on this board.

Hopefully the best ones get taken so they don't have to work on any of those LN adaptions again. It felt like such a waste of talent for most of this decade and I'm sure there are a lot of other studios that could put them to better use.

If it made you happy why wouldn’t you show you cared for them and their works? I bet you are thinking “I am too intelligent, nihilistic and with a wicked sense of humor for this!”.

Fascinating stuff. Is it the feminist or the agenda pushing that you dislike?

Isn't it a bit too convenient that the fire would break out exactly on the day Hideaki Hatta was away? It's horseshit and foul play from more than one party if you ask me and no one's investigating it. Now that old fuck wants to demolish the building and build some shitty park. I say leave it because it reminds people of what happened and makes them raise questions.

Are you making this up or were they really feminists? I didn't know moe was compatible with feminism.

What exactly could be the hidden master plan behind burning down one of your buildings, killing 1/4th of your workforce and suffering proprietary injury worth millions of dollars? Tell me about the possibilities, Yea Forumsnon.

Yeah, it's really hard to believe that a man that isn't directly involved in the production process wouldn't be in the main production studio every single day.

Japanese women's rights advocacy is pretty different from western feminism. Most notably, it's not completely retarded.

So this the power of /pol/....woah!!!

Who knows, that's why you gotta investigate. Insurance, raising the value of your studios products on the market, personal vendetta for shit that could have played out between individuals that we do not know. He doesn't need to have been one of the culprits you dumbass, but if there was a group vendetta against anyone in Kyoani or a good portion of the studio, he as a person of status and wealth could have been either warned to stay away that day or even lured out. You really are dense if you don't know about shit like this which is commonplace not only in Japan but everywhere.

Because most arsonists, nutcases and mental patients are mentally controlled puppets. They're thw easiest to convince into anything or manipulate through different means and in most cases, the idea nutcases get comes from someone else. This is a fact.

Not retarded yet.

It's entirely possible yes. People don't believe it's probable enough to consider investigating it.
Which is where you come in Yea Forumsnon, convince Japan it's worth investigating.

I wonder how KyoAni pushes forward. Eupho was nothing like K-ON. It was actually remarkable to have been done in TV anime simply because of the highly detailed line work that goes to animating brass instruments. I need to refresh my memory on Sakamichi no Apollon but I don't remember the instruments there looking as good as Eupho's. Not to mention, Eupho has to animate more instruments.

If KyoAni decides to postpone future Eupho projects for years, I am up for it. What KyoAni has lost is decades of talent that were honed gradually through time.

So what will there future works be like? Similar to how they regularly are, significantly worse, Give some honest answers

That will take years for them produce anything significant. It's not like you can just whip out your own style and then expect it to stick with the whole team. It's not a coincidence that KyoAni's animators tend to follow a certain style. It's for consistencies sake.

I just wanted a Kumiko x Reina ending and with the important the eupho staff dead it's impossible now.

This. The medium was already dead by the time Fukushima happened. It sucks that all of those staff members died but the truth is KyoAni was just good because they still had some old guard (not 90's old) still working with them and they had more money than any other studio but nobody really cares about stuff like that.
What really shocked me was how people here cared more about the fact they wouldn't get a season 2 of some whatever show than the fact that lots of people lost friends and family.

Yeah I care more about the people who made things I enjoy than random niggers in Africa or whatever.

Why is this shocking? The fact that those who died had family and friends doesn't affect Yea Forumsnime watchers anywhere as much as not getting season 2 of whatever moeshit they were looking forward to. People will post words of condolences out of politeness and feeling obliged to but the fact is, the friends and relatives are too detached from us to care much.

>people here cared more about the fact they wouldn't get a season 2 of some whatever show than the fact that lots of people lost friends and family
I think you read most of the edgy posts then.
Those who genuinely grieved cared the most about the people who's fate was unknown at the time. Sadly on topic posts were washed away by the innumerable amount of shitposts and "epic trolls" from other boards due to the global fund announcement literally inviting the cancer to Yea Forums.

>how dare some people get sad over the loss of a series they liked
Bruh.
Their anime are literally their connection with the fanbase, not every fan has to know who is who inside the studio.

>the friends and relatives are too detached from us to care much
I get that completely but some people cared WAY too much that say, Violet Evergarden or whatever wasn't going to get a second season
Someone clearly didn't read what I said.

Dude there's nothing wrong with caring about second seasons, there's nothing wrong with not knowing who works at KyoAni and thus being unable to care on a personal level.
Fans are fans, end of story.

I didn't say there was nothing wrong about caring about a second season. I just said that some people cared way too much.

>some people
Shallow personalities and ironic anime watchers who watch youtube reviews for recommendations are not people.

There's no such thing as caring way too much you dense mofo. Some fans love X series to death and get devastated at the news of said X series becoming unable to ever get another season.

How dare Haruhites wait a little longer

You're too upset over what people grieve over.

They'll be waiting 4ever. Especially after this tragedy.

>What really shocked me was how people here cared more about the fact they wouldn't get a season 2 of some whatever show than the fact that lots of people lost friends and family

How is that shocking? Those people are just being honest and only care about the Kyoani fire because it affects them. You think anyone legitimately cares that a bunch of people died, no one did, especially those being the moral police about "edgy posts"? These people weren't individuals in their minds, and you know what? That's okay. It's better then those neet losers pretending they are genuinely grieving because that's the "right thing" to do. Had that fire happened elsewhere in Japan, no one here would care. If that fire happened outside Japan, even less people will care, because they would be irrelevant people who aren't doing anything for them. No reason to give a shit.

I'm genuinely sad about Kigami and Nishiya because I've always admired their skills, it also saddens me to know the survivors I care about are gonna have to deal with this shit. Now fuck off.

People really forgot this fast.
No seiyuu died so his life is safe as long his lawyers do a good job.

I think making a new season of an existing series would be a great way to train new recruits. They can use previous seasons for reference on how things are supposed to look. In doing so they learn the kyoani style. At the same time it would also be a great thank you to the fans that have supported them to get another season of their beloved series.

Didn't KyoAni stole the arsonist's novel? That would make the company directly responsible for the deaths.

Kill yourselves

Execution by hanging in like 10 years. Japan still does this regularly so there is no way he isn't getting the same treatment.

Depends on the series. The rookies that'll get involved in the inevitable VEG season 2 are going to learn Takase's style which is vastly different to the rest of the designers.
That's obviously not a bad thing since as one of the remaining designers she'll be entrusted with a lot more work.

>insanity charges

Doesn't mean those properties can't come back home to kyoani.. or better yet be collaborations with other studios

except she goes months/years without work now, granted her family's rich so she doesn't have to go out of her way for work, that's why she only takes semi-major roles still like Migi, if she's going to work she wants it to be fun work.

You should really should watch Violent Evergarden and Liz and the Blue Bird if you like anything from old Kyoani, Dragon Maid is fun too but the other two are masterpieces

yeah that'll happen when 1/4 of your staff dies, he meant the directors in comparison to stuff like Chuunibyo and Free that got fucking decimated

You.

at least I didn't try to stop the names from coming out

Yeah, letting the families who lost their loved ones grieve in peace without NHK sticking their filthy nose into everything is a real asshole move dumbass.

Why do we even bother? Not like what happens to him at this point makes a difference. Only thing that matters is that he gets locked up.

The fact that there's still 10 people which are hospitalized and we'll probably never know their identities is fucking depressing. We can't even be truly certain that "fill with X Kyoani name that you think can be the future of Kyoani" is completely fine.

If they're still hospitalized after a month, they're most likely in a state that won't let them work or even live a normal life anymore.

I suppose we'll be able to draw conclusions just the day the first Kyoani post-arson work is finally delivered. If any of the names we're assuming they will be the current remaining backbone of the studio are missing from the credits. Then we can safely assume he/she is most likely in a hopeless condition (that for them might actually be the same as being dead in life, like animators with no hands, eyes or something like that)

Only years will tell. I hope the injured, at least, can be in a state that will let them work again some day. If I were animator with my legs amputated I think I can manage to return to normal in the long run. But if my hands were taken, that's just like a death sentence.

If I remember correctly only 3 of the people in the hospital are still in critical condition at least when I read the article , the rest are simply recovering in hospital.
That's not to say that this is somehow any better, because it's really not. Burns can be extremely life changing.

How in the flying fuck?

Such a tremendous loss of life and talent. I wish nothing but the best for KyoAni but they've basically been gutted as a company at this point and nothing will ever be the same, whether it's their new output(if there is any) or the work environment. This will be hanging over the survivors forever like a specter and the weight of their friends and colleagues no longer being around will always weigh on them. Even if the stories weren't always the best(e.g. Phantom World was atrocious to me), at the very least I thought KyoAni could and often produce amazing visuals- especially for television- and their style was unique and immediately recognizable.

With anime visuals these days being full of abundant and shameless CGI shortcuts and cheap excrement brought in from Korea, I thought KyoAni really stood out among the pack and that was one of the reasons they were my favorite currently running studio. Now they're basically gone and no amount of money is ever going to change that. Fuck this, man.

FUCK

This is what all yurifags look like

Predictive text translation based on your search habits obviously

It isn't a contest you stupid shit

You know, I can't help but wonder if the reaction to the fire would have been different if it happened to a different studio like Liden Films or Silver Link.

I don't think they're gone. It will be hard? Of course, the hardest thing to accept in their lifes, but they'll eventually learn how to function with that perpetual grieve and sadness they will eternally feel (it's not something you overcome, but your learn how to handle)

Probably they'll have a portion of the remaining staff which wouldn't be able to continue and Kyoani will suffer a massive renovation of staff in the next years.

The only thing that I really recommend is to be patient. And accept whatever comes from the studio now, even if it's something completely inferior in overall quality compared with before.

The only thing I know for certain is that Kyoani's excellence quality code is not going to change ever, they'll do what you they can now, but in 10-20 years they'll be the same if not stronger. At least as long they're still named Kyoto Animation, that fact will never change.

I was wondering the same thing myself- I think there would still be a lot of sadness and support- but kyoani has iconic series like K-On and Haruhi that so many people enjoyed.
Regardless 35 artists lost their lives.

The road is going to be a long tough one for Kyoto Animation. I hope they'll be stronger and more well positive in the long future.

I doubt it'd get anyway near the level of attention this did. Even though both of those studios have made better stuff than Kyoani in the past few years they don't really have studiofags in the same way. I couldn't imagine them even getting half the level of donations.

This is the price to pay for ruining the industry with Moeshit and LN trash.

For all those people who say "BRUH WHY DO YOU CARE ABOUT THOSE PEOPLE YOU DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHEN YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT THE MILLIONS WHO DIE EVERY MONTH IN THE WORLD" then here's my answer:
Those millions are no-names that didn't matter to me, I never gave a shit and they didn't make the world any better for me, nor did they even give fun entertainment. They were literally no-one to me and had they not existed, it wouldn't have made a difference to me.
These people at KyoAni made entertainment, they made art for people to see. They have their craft and talent on display with their names attached to it. They entertained me and Yea Forums, they made me laugh, they made me cry, they made me feel all sorts of emotions through their works. These works created a connection between them and me, even if it's just a thin one. Hence why people CARE. Nobody has the time or heart to care about every person in the world, and in any case, someone who does that would be simply inhuman.

You don't need to justify your sadness, user. The people saying that in the first place are just low tier shitposters, not even they believe their bullshit.

This post sums it all up.

It's hilarious that you weeaboo faggots think any of that shit is distinct. Slightly different eyes and mouth? Holy shit it's revolutionary, even though 99% of everything else is identical!

Lmao, have sex.

This sums up how I feel better than I could ever put into words. For some people - myself included - these people made the world a little better place. More than entertainment, these shows made me smile when I was having a bad day. Or made me cry when I was maybe disconnected from my emotions. I never met them, but I felt like I knew them through their art.

>Ryoji Nishiyama, an officer at the prefectural police department said it took the police more than one month to disclose the names of all the victims due in part to difficulty in identifying them. Also, the psychological traumas of people concerned were so deep that it required long periods of time for them to accept the deaths of the victims, he said.

Yawn, well, since no seiyuu died is as expected.

What's shoko Ikeda's anime on the right, the green eyed girl?

It's one of KyoAni's CMs.

>caring about the bump limit to a tragedy
You sound absolutely cancerous.

See, now it's posts like this and this that keep me coming back to this place. You guys fucking get it and you both expressed my own thoughts and feelings over the past month better than I probably ever could, but hell I'll ramble for a bit anyway.

KyoAni was and is near and dear to me and it all started 13 years ago with Haruhi. Yeah, so people are murdered en masse every day in shithole Third World countries, so what? Yeah, it's bad, yeah I'm not happy when innocent people are senselessly murdered, but I don't have any emotional attachment to those people or anything they've done. KyoAni did shit that resonated with me on a personal level and gave me comfort in hard times. They were a relatively small group of very dedicated artists who just wanted to make a living entertaining people with their talent and I've admired their work for a good portion of my life. They've also been a major part of anime culture on this very website. Why, then, is it so wrong for people like me to be heartbroken when KyoAni is viciously attacked and 35 of their most important staff are killed? Even if you people are just a bunch of underage faggots from Yea Forums trying to get a rise out of people, go fuck yourselves. Nobody needs or wants you anywhere.

Yeah, sounds like Kyoani lost the vast majority of their signature talent. I worry that their future works will be noticeably lower quality, but they'll just kind of coast on brand recognition.

>I worry that their future works will be noticeably lower quality, but they'll just kind of coast on brand recognition.

Honestly- and I say this as somebody who has been a fan of theirs for over a decade- I think I would rather see them dissolve as a company than go on as a shadow of their former selves. That'd just be too hard to watch, like seeing a friend of yours after he had a massive stroke.

Ah yes. A punishment worse than the death penalty.

i heard kyoanis latest anime was fire
lol

He'll be the fuel for the olympic torch

You sound like you are missing the point.

Pfft. This one's 2 days old

I can see people tracking him down and killing him if that ever happened.

The police or correctional officers will kill him accidently.

But if they kill him, they'll be just like him!

RIP

It still doesn't feel real to me that takemoto is gone.

Man, that's been the story of my life over the past couple of years. Hell, last year one of my best friends(guy I'd known since childhood) died and then this year this shit happens to KyoAni. I think God is pushing me to throw myself in front of a train before the end of the year.

And Kigami, too. That guy was a veteran and worked on classics. Guy was basically royalty, a mentor figure for probably everyone a tthe company, and probably had another 20 odd years left in him. And now he's fucking gone forever because of one crazy autist who couldn't even remember to turn his own fucking lights off before he went to bed. Fuck life, man.

Why the fuck would you be watching anything from a moeshit studio to begin with

This has been my general sentiment for the past month. I can't even listen to the old Hibike OPs. And this was BEFORE I knew Shouko Ikeda was fucking dead.

I'm not even sure why it's that show in particular that's been effected for me.

Attached: 1541671325830.jpg (3424x1926, 3.44M)

I feel really bad for them, and I've enjoyed their shows so I can't just laugh but these hipster grown children types kind of had it coming when they cared more about how whimsical and hip their office space was than safety. reminds me of the warehouse fire where all those hipsters died because they made a staircase out of wood pallets and people couldn't get down to the first level.

I really grew to love Hibike over the past couple of years and that love was cemented when I saw the final film last month. Made me really excited for the new season. Now that is never going to happen and what has already been done will be forever tinted by the tragedy. KyoAni was one of the last refuges from the reality of my frankly worthless existence and now they're just another source of sadness in my life. Why did things have to turn out this way?

So yourself a favor and read more before commenting. Also, who the hell uses “hipsters” nowadays? Are you from 2010?

Hatta said he intends for demolition to start ASAP
Suppose the police investigation/insurance/data recovery is getting in the way of that

That reminds me, I wonder about the locations of the two who died later on.

Also, the back corner of the first floor was a recording studio, and one body was found there.

and didn't Aoni say one of their voice actresses is missing?

there are a couple names on the list without any information - could just be that they're new hires, but it also makes me wonder if that rumor about it being a newbie VA is true.

The central police hoped not to disclose the name, but the local police made it public.
The reason is that concealment creates unnecessary speculation.

Found one for Maiko Nishikawa

From Teller Report
Maiko Nishikawa (29), who died in a case where the studio of “Kyoto Animation” was set to fire, belonged to the art department while attending high school in Nagano Prefecture. A person who knew when he was a high school student said, “I was always cheerful and cheerful and actively engaged in club activities. Why should I be involved in such an incident without any fault?” .

They're dead, maybe the ideal would be to wait for their immediate family to pass too but waiting the long would just increase the possibility of no one remembering to publish the names, thinking great artists or just great people in general deserve to be left alone and forgotten takes away that their lives had meaning to give those generations down the line who can look on what they left behind and garner something from it, that alone surpasses and worries about sensibilties and formalities that soon won't matter any more once the people they knew pass.

Full scan literally when.

RIP to all these innocent victims

better quality?

fuck the they didn't matter to me or that this people did matter to me, these people matter even if I had never known them, what they left in the world is objectivley great and awe inspiring and something humanity is in desperate little supply of, of all the people I would choose to save in the world, these go in the top 100 of everyone, not just those alive, but of all those who had ever lived, Takemoto maybe top 5

Saw the building the other day, was only there like 2 minutes but there were 5 other people there, all of them were taking pictures, think that's kind of messed up but I guess Otaku aren't the best at processing that kind of thing, they react the only way they know how, I just said a small prayer and left.

What happened? Weren't people yelling at him for saying incensitive stuff after the incident again?

information is going to be limited in english, but if you go through Japanese news and translate stuff we can make the list more complete

Is it weird I hate those stairs more than I hate the killer?

>implying Yamakan gives a shit about anyone other than himself
Crocodile tears for the cameras.

I don't even hate the killer, I just hate what he did.

Yes. The stairs didn't bring 40L of gasoline to the studio and ignite it.

I was like that a long time for anything with Miyu Matsuki, only now kinda getting over it, but with that it's a lot more immediate also, hearing their voice, with staff it's hard to know what did what in a lot of cases, at least for me so I can still go through old stuff like i've been doing. It's sad but less sad not being able to piece exactly what's gone, just a general knowledge that things aren't going to be the same going forward, maybe that means the new stuff will be harder to watch more so than having trouble watching old stuff.

Butthurt Shinkaifags got angry at Yamakan telling Shinkai to shut the fuck up for a second when the arson happened.

Shinkai was giving his thoughts and support, how is it at all appropriate to tell him to shut up?
The man is a washed up hack.

who knows, he's hard to pin down, at the very least I don't think an animator director can be completley emotionaless, having empathy is their job, like just look at Fractale, you can't make that kinda shit and just not care that everyone at your former employer is now dead

but it trapped them their like dogs, like you want to imagine the killer is just some idiot and that if everything else had worked out everyone would have made it out okay and he would just have been reprimanded as a mad man who didn't end up harming anybody, but those stairs fucking locked everyone up their and sealed their fate, I look at those pictures of them from the outside afterward and seeing the black char around it fucking kills me, and can even sleep thinking about it's like looking at the gates of hell filled with all the evil humanity has ever commited in one picture

I get that. I suppose it's more productive to hate the stairs than to hate Shinji at least, as long as you don't hate whoever was responsible for installing the stairs like that.

their accomplishments exceeds the scope of just their family and extends to the larger zeitgeist of all humanity and it's up to us here and now to make sure that the legacy is remembered properly, past our own lives and into the lives of people many years from now past the point of when we die and can no longer relay the story directly

Shinkai doesn't give a shit, he spent that entire day advertising for his newest boy meets girl movie.

Saw re-airing of Liz and the Blue Bird the other day cause they were showing at a theater in Tokyo and thought it was a little weird that the selection for seats was only relegated to like a small handful, thought maybe I got something wrong in translation, but when I came back in like an hour the entire place was packed to the brim.

Also I had never seen Liz and the Blue Bird before but god damn, it's a fucking masterpiece, like, tied if not better with Disappearance, I did not fucking expect the movie to be that amazing.

Just as I would have wished nothing more for the staff to have the love and admiration of their closest family and friends to have the best life possible, I want nothing more than for them in death to be continue to be life by as many people as possible, even if their family disagrees.

Bravery.

Kyoani deserved it, people seems to forget.

She

I guess, just in case she's fine, she will be doing Hibike S3 designs just to honor her imouto.

Most of the survivors are fine, 1 even resume work a few days after the incident. I believe only 1 needed amputation

>I believe only 1 needed amputation
Leg or arm? Nothing like work to keep your mind off what happened

What did Korea do this time again?

Leg, probably got burnt trying to run away to safety from the first floor
The people in the upper floors were all dead if they didn't jump out

Considering they may have staff which are in good condition to work again, they could follow two paths:

- The first one is to reduce their work output, and use the best animators they have left, give them like 3x or 4x the normal amount of work, but also much more time to work. Companies affiliated with Kyoani will be especially considered in terms of deadlines given the situation. This will mean we might have a new Kyoani work much later in the future, but high quality as before, and maybe even more consistant (considering less people will work but in a longer period of time)

- And the other option is to reduce quality, do some light proyects to hire new animators and train them. Produce as much anime as before but be less ambitious. This one might sound bad, but it would give more chances to new people and renovation of the staff. Also we'll have Kyoani back much sooner than the first option.

I still can't believe they're actually gone

If you'd have the chance to travel back in time to stop the arsonist but at the cost of your own life. Would you agree?

If it's a quick and painless death, an easy yes. Otherwise it'd be a more difficult decision.

I've only ever seen this picture separated into individual portraits
Kinda poignant to see the full picture now

So why aren't there pictures of the bodies being carted out etc

I hope they do the second one. More content gives more chances for something good.
They could also stick to adapting other publishers work to take away some of the responsibility and get better material than usual.

I was mostly referring to Yea Forums and its obsession to emulate otaku - the same demographic old Yea Forums made fun of. The fact that she is on some kind of blacklist is quite apparent though.

Yea Forums used to make fun of weaboos. Events, anime club sort of thing, not otaku. Still does, actually.

>not otaku
Otaku included. And their over the top obsession with idols, purity etc.

The usage of the word, maybe.
>And their over the top obsession with idols, purity etc.
