20 people died in a building you couldn't die falling off of? What in the hell was going on inside of this thing, good lord

The arsonist stuck around to make sure people burnt to death. 33 dead is a number I'm hearing.

What anime did the studio make?

A local had heard the guy shout "you ripped me off" so most likely it was a disgruntled fan upset about the direction his favourite animes were heading to.

Haruhi, K-On, and a whole host of light novel adaptations. I haven't watched any of their stuff in a decade but this is gut wrenching.

Half their staff or more are women, many of those left their kids in the nursery they had at KyoAni while they were working.

Anime tends to have horrible work conditions even by Japanese standards iirc. And doesn't help that like the rest of the creative industries their labour pool has plenty of starry-eyed young obsessives they can burn out and instantly replace.

Yeah the animation industry is pretty hosed, but to their credit, KyoAni is considered one of the best in the industry in terms of working conditions, diversity, and project scheduling so their staff aren't forced to crunch constantly. That's why the release pace of their works tends to be a bit more spread out than some other studios. They've also put a lot of work into bringing in promising young animators and mentoring them and helping them cultivate their talents over time.

That kinda stuff just makes this all the more sad. :(

I don’t really like most of their stuff but they had some very talented staff and nobody deserved to have their life destroyed like this, I feel so bad for the survivors as well as the people who died here, I can’t imagine ever being able to work again in a place where 1 out of every 5 coworkers you had are dead

Apparently there are some reports coming in that there were problems with the building, such as the roof door being locked from the inside in the stairwell and no one had the key, causing a number of people to get trapped. Wonder how much of that is due to poor building fire codes/lack of inspection.

That report suggested he was accusing them of plagiarism, although it's entirely possible he was misheard.

Apparently most of the people suffocated in the stairwell trying to get to the roof... which only opened from the outside. This really is a groverhaus

This poo poo is incredibly hosed up. It doesn't help that apparently most property insurance for fire does not cover arson-induced damage. And I assume the rear end in a top hat who did this will not pay up.

Yes, it really isn't about 33+ people dying in an arson. The main point is how will the animes continue if the arsonist won't pony up

I know right. Maybe they can try to get the money out of the victims' families? I mean if you think about it they're the real assholes here.

drat, KyoAni. They mostly make high production value movies and series about cute girls doing simple slice of life stuff. Basically the most inoffensive content imaginable.
