during April- May to
September –October 2019. MORE

THE LIKE. SOME

Some news said the arsonist did this because of plagiarism anyone have any info regarding it?
I got 99 problems but this ain’t one hit me
放火犯は絶対に許さない
It was 34 staffs perished as of now.
Sadly the culprit behind the arson just received the permanent imprison life sentence. Not death…
Why no one going to the roof?
I am sorry if my asking look stupid..
according to a survivor, while the door wasn’t locked, it had a weird handle mechanism that made it difficult to open and they couldn’t get it open. 19 bodies I believe were found on the stairwell leading to the roof.
@zero X owh, the smoke!.. but, they trap.. the fire coming first on first floor..
Why must go to roofs?! That’s stupid ideas…. No helicopters would pick them up like in Hollywood movies dude…. Even in 9/11 case going to roofs is letting yourself trapped and die few moments later 😔
I ain’t have nothing in common with anime or Japan but my heart is in pain with those who lost their loved ones, and the victims. God help us.
Since this incident has already been occurred, what’s going to happen to their company?
Rest In Peace all… Rip all new anime and manga books 😭😢
Japan is sinking into the Pacific Ocean! God’s punishment on the vicious country!
2020 Olympic is exposed of Nuke everywhere including food and land! Please boycott the game for your sake!
I wanna know why it took 5 FREAKING HOURS for firefighters to put out the fire
Lots of combustible material and as it’s an animation studio there is a lot of paper which can burn for a long time.
Yet another “triggered” snowflake liberal, like Democrats in the USA. Hate violence, then trigger & mass shoot people.
May their souls rest in heaven.😢😢👼👼👼
This incident was caused by Koreans living in Japan. Japanese people have been very disgusted with Koreans for several years. This is not racism. I want people in the world to know what kind of race Korean is in this case.
People around the world aren’t so stupid as you might think. We all know the arsonist is a Japanese. Read news before taking utter rubbish. My view towards koreans aren’t any same, however I view you, a Japanese person a different perspective. All the respect is now lost!
Show me a tangible evidence that Koreans are responsible for this heinous crime.
>This is not racism.
No, what you said is a despicable racism. I`m afraid that people in the world might believe that Japanese are obnoxious racists.
Wait? What? I don’t understand and can u explain? 🤔😥
I dont know each one of kyoani staff but God my heart is attached to them for making iconic animes that touched hearts across the world. This is such a painful news.
Saddest day ever😰😰
I think 33died, because they were trying to protect the facilities…..and memories…..
ひどいひどすぎる😞😢
This is worsening the ☢️ Fukushima attack! Every visitor in Japan need to escape from the doomed country! They are providing Fukushima food especially to the visitors! Many of them got cancers due to eating and breathing in the airborne nuke from Fukushima food and sushi!
The 2020 Olympic in Tokyo should be boycotted! It’s too dangerous! Some of Japanese have abandoned and fled from their own country!!! ☢️😱
Harvey Christian
Please don’t eat Kimchi! It’s been too popular that the price is skyrocketing! Thank you for helping the price stable!!!
조용히! hangul 새끼… you just hate japan then i hate to your plastic country! kimchi is disgusting!
What you insist is a verbal terrorism to undermine Japan`s image among people in the world. You should be more concerned about the sharp decline of the South Korean economy and birth rate.
Damn that arsonist..
i am so disgusted and so so sad.
KyoAni has made so many anime and movies that have inspired me, that have changed my life,let me rethink my actions.these people affected my life and others through their skill and talent and this insane man stole all that from us, but more importantly from them i will never forgive them for what they have done. i will always remember the people at KyoAni and i will never gorget what they taught me about life.
All the equipments and stuff for the animes are now destroyed :(((
so sad to see the amount of people that died in this…It’s horrible!
Human hatred. Might be one of the leading reasons the world is the way it is today.
I bet the culprit is someone angry to KyoAni because his/her ship is sunk.
I’m sorry for the joke, I will let myself out of here…
@SCP- 939
From what I heard its 33 people.
30 people died
Oh no. Praying for the families that were left behind. My heart goes out to the victims & their families.
#KyoAniDisaster
#PRAYFORKYOANI
Moeshit btfo 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The mass stabbing in Tokyo is perpetrated by a 40 yr old
KyoAni Arsonist is also a 40 yr old
I think i see a pattern here 🤔
@Dani Aura H thats why mista hated number 4…
4 (shi) means death in Japanese.
This was probably a weeb
@Some Dude need more info, why did he do this?
It wasn’t a weeb this time. Someone went on his 2Chan (he posted right before the attack) to see why he did this.
The real reason is much more senseless.
I’m surprised that Abe said anything good at all.
We lost too much on this day and it can never be replaced.
The election of Japan`s Lower House will be held on July 21st, and Prime Minister Abe needed to gain a favorable response from Japanese voters. That`s why he paid a lip service to victims.
#KyoAni owns 3 buildings in Kyoto. 33 people died as a result of arson.
Anime characters are pretty Japanese(asian) and pretty white people.
Anime characters are not ugly Japanese(asian) and ugly white people.
Anime face＝flat skull.
Non anime face＝bent skull.
The building is probably full of printing materials which are highly combustible and produce poisonous smoke..the reason why there’s so many fatalities.
@七尾あかね yes, and this was written by you a Japanese. Accurate indeed 🤦♂️
七尾あかね any evidence to this claim, or is this one of those retarded moments you seem to have often?
@七尾あかね how the hell did you know that?
@七尾あかね
Educated me
@Eilanuy This incident was caused by Koreans living in Japan. Japanese people have been very disgusted with Koreans for several years. This is not racism. I want people in the world to know what kind of race Korean is in this case.
No bail for you die
It’s not even been so long since the stabbing in Kawasaki, this is appalling and very saddening.
WHY ARE THERE SO MANY DEATHS.
WERE THEY LOCKED IN…?
WAS THE SMOKE SO VERY ACRID/POISONOUS…?
There will always be someone, somewhere i that can suddenly “go off their trolly”… it is a never ending baffling of human drama..!
But we can always reduce the number of casualties….by asking the right questions…!
@sᴩʀɪᴛᴇ➀ Thanks for the info…! ✌️🙏👍
@JJ Sundra there’s a huge discussion thread on Reddit
@JJ Sundra apparently he was heard shouting “DIE!! ” while doing it and when he was caught by the police was angrily exclaiming how they plagiarised something from him, I forgot the exact wording he used
@sᴩʀɪᴛᴇ➀ THAT IS OUT RIGHT SINISTER AND DIABOLICAL…..!
What can caused a person in this instance to behave in this extreme emotive fashion…?
What did they do to him…?
Did he lose his job, that had collateral consequences.
I will wait for the investigation to be concluded..!
From what I gather on other discussion threads, the suspect poured gas at the entrance and the fire exits and then even poured some on the people before running out and setting it on fire then he has a bunch of knives ready to stab anyone who tries to get out of the building
the people that commit crimes like this are straight up wicked
I know right.. How can people even do crimes like that? It’s horrifying.. 🙁
Horror! How could this happen? 😢
Somebody send the suspect to the court, the one who use flaming liquid
@Mirza9000 .-. Mental health or not he will be executed. Now that his name is out there his life will be in danger as those that want to avenge KyoAni attack will now target him.
@Gilgamesh yeah, and no tolerance for drugs lord too…
drugs = mass murdering future generations…
@MrEjidorie Most Asian countries uphold the death penalty even advanced countries like Singapore. They have 0 tolerance for mass murder, Asia is not as forgiving as Europe even those that are pro-west like Japan and Singapore. “If a person wants to take others life then the person will pay with his own life.”
@Gilgamesh About 86% of Japanese people support the capital punishment in spite of strong pressure from Europe to abolish the death penalty. The majority of Japanese people will take his death verdict for granted.
He is already a dead man, the crime of mass killings of innocent is death in Japanese law
fucked….. who the hell did this.. my anime no…
This is attack on the freedom of speech. Very sad and terrible news.
@Raja’s VLOGS he dosed gasoline on the entrance, both the fire exit and the windows. He planned this all along so its not a random killing
@Raja’s VLOGS hes not a random person. He had a motive, more noticeable that he shouted “you ripped me off!” , and “Die!” Before burning.
Just Some random person killed people at the studio. The suspect says like this…..SHINU!!!! It means you die and then burn by using flaming liquid
😵🤧
I think it’s a part of shifting the earth and just beginning! God’s warning sign against vicious Japan!
@축복받은자 조용히! 새끼… your country have a plastic women here. and you scare with north korean? North Korean hate you!
@Night Sky Thank you very much. I`m afraid some South Koreans accuse Japanese in order to distract people`s attentions from their own dark side of history. Since the end of World War II, Japan has been making strenuous efforts to serve people and economic development of her former victim nations in Asia. As a result, most of Asian people (except South Koreans) have favorable views of Japan, and regard her as a peace-loving country.
@축복받은자 If you`re a South Korean, you are not in a position to insult Japanese. Remember your won history, and what you did in Vietnam.
@축복받은자 You should study your own history.
@축복받은자 You should study the history too. Do you remember what South Korean Marines did against Vietnamese women in the Vietnam War? Don`t blame Japanese while you turn blind eyes on the dark side of the Korean history.
All the love in the world to kyoani
God Bless KyoAni 👃👃👃
How did God bless KyoAni? By burning it?
I really wanted to go there once
Please stay strong everyone
@Raja’s VLOGS I’m not to conecerd about that I’m more concerned about the 33 life’s lost and the families and the people injured
I mean we need them and we need animators alive. Without them I wont be abe watch violet evergarden movie.
Have mercy dear Lord
My God why…
Hate is the reason why.
That’s what you deserve for killing whales LOL burn to death 😁
Are you talking about the animation studio or the guy who burned down the place?
