Taken from their Wikipedia page: "Unlike most animation studios, Kyoto Animation's animators are salaried employees rather than freelance workers. Therefore, Kyoto Animation animators are able to focus more on the quality of each frame rather than on meeting frame production quotas."
KyoAni will be back, stronger and better than ever. RIP to all of those amazing animators that lost their lives. The work they've done will never be forgotten. Prayers up for their families and everyone involved.
A lot of the key people passed away in the arson... and all of next year's works are burnt since they still use traditional paper style animation drawings.
Dude. I really pray for those who died and the families of the victims. They made inspiring animations that really helped me and many people mature and step up of depression. Pray for KyoAni.
they clearly couldn't steal any of his ideas, as all their works were either dating sims adaptations or light novel adaptations. Even if he had some involvement it must have been minor, as story was based fully on source material. Story, character designs, music must of stuff was already part of original games.
Idc for the arsonist. I hate to say this but KyoAni building looks prime for inferno to happen regardless. Small and limited windows. Limiting outside vision and in and out access to building in case of emergency. Top that with tons of papers for easy fuel.. it’s a disaster waiting to lit up. I hope other studios can learn from this and install proper equipment to make workplace a lot safer. Also rip for the poor souls. Hopefully KyoAni can rise from this ashes and become greater. I know they can and they will.
guess we have to wait until they air the full story of the incident. i really thought he was an employee so i will be scratching that off and wait for more details on this.
K-ON! Clannad Kobayashi-san Free! Violet Evergarden Amagi Brilliant Park The Shape of Voice etc Those people did this masterpiece , respect for them Rest In Peace
Violet Evergarden, especially the episode where she wrote birthday letters because the mom of the child was passing away... the episode fucking moved me so hard. And ofc a silent voice, such a great movie!
@@iampie1989 for me it was more of there were a few scenes I wanted to see animated. I'm pretty sure there are quite a few others that felt this way also. loved the movie nonetheless.
I actually hated Violet Evergarden but I’ll definitely say nobody deserves to be killed for making one small mistake. People are able to learn from their mistakes but nobody should be punished like this. This is wrong.
On one hand I think this is a very weeb(nothing wrong being a weeb) comment and it's in the right place under a cultural point of view and kinda reminds me of escapism, on the other hand I FEEL YOU because I've to watch many animes from this studio and the animations in this video really hooked me.
Michele Pio Curci Careful what you’re saying, especially with that term “escapism”. You’ll attract Evangelion haters. But I acknowledge what you’re saying. That’s it a bad timing to do anime references to simplify the tragedy.
@@whathell6t thank you very much for the clarity and the composure of your comment, I appreciate it. I guess I shouldn't even have typed "and kinda reminds me of escapism" because it isn't even something I'm sure about and that's a non-essential formation for the meaning of my comment.
they had really great anime, K-On!, A Silent Voice, Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid, Haruhi Suzumiya, Violet Evergarden, Lucky Star, Free!, Kyoukai no Kanaka, ect. those were my favorites at least
The world is messed up. People are killed everywhere for doing nothing wrong. Not too long ago, muslims where killed for following their religious practices. Now people are being killed for doing a job which harms no one.
@@Nitrorcman189 man I absolutely understand the feelings any human being would get in front of such a tragedy, though I don't agree at all with you. About death penalty and why it's useles and potentially(or even more than potentially ) counter-productive, I suggest you to read "Dei delitti e delle pene" by Cesare Beccaria.
@@evanbutler9813 Actually... Capital Punishment is completely legal there and is used in cases involving mass murders, murders via arson and even just regular old murder. Execution is carried out via a good ol' fashioned noose. Also, the term psychopath refers to someone who has absolutely no understanding of human emotion, is completely void of empathy and is unable to feel those emotions as a byproduct of trauma to the brain as a baby or an underdeveloped brain while in the womb. If he's anything remotely close to that, I think it would be more accurate to describe him as a socipath as one of the 3 key elements in the sociopathic triad is starting fires. A sociopath lacks a conscience but isn't completely unable to feel or recognize emotions. They simply don't care that they exist. They're emotionally retarded, not emotionally void. Anyways, even if he isn't executed on 34 counts of homicide, Japan still has life-in-prison as a punishment. 34 times life... He'll never get out, and if anyone in there has children on the outside who like anime, or they themselves like anime, I'd hope he gets the American paedophile treatment. Should check out the criminal statistics between the US and Japan. It's mind-boggling how we can even call ourselves a civilized society by comparison.
Violet Evergarden probably helped me get in touch with my emotions again. It had been almost 6 years since I had last cried. Violet Evergarden was the first thing that had let me cry again.
I had put Violet Evergarden off so i could watch the movie version mostly fresh. Guess it's not coming as soon as 2020 now is it? My best option is to revisit the anime again, really hope this is not their last masterpiece (imo).
Kyoani, made a lot of emotional anime series Clannad, Kanon, Air. They were very touching. even Haruhi Suzumiya (despite being mostly comedy series) held many emotional momments.
I had depression for most of my high school life but k-on was what made me believe in positivity and friendships again it made me feel hope Thank you kyoani for giving me hope
I have watched almost all the anime from KyoAni, and it helps me to escape the things going on in real life. A silent voice helped me deal with the bullying I faced years ago, which still affects me today. It gives me hope that one day I'll find people who will stick with me and understand me....and become my friends.... I guess that sounds kinda stupid, huh?
That is gonna hurt the studio as well, losing talented artists and other personnel, they only had ~130 employees. RIP Artists that contributed to these amazing pieces of work.
@@itzfusionplex4266 I just stated the fact that a large portion of the company died. Where did I say I was only sad about the cartoons. I respect the fact that people died, but how does it lead to the conclusion that I did not care about the lives of the people? The employees rely on the studio for their livelihood, this event impacts all the other people in the studio as well.
I cannot agree more. The themes in Silent Voice resonated with me and still do. The animation was beautiful and brought the world to life. I was hooked in the first scene of the film, and I will never forget Silent Voice. It's kinda embarrassing to say, but it resonated so well with me that I made my home screen a silent voice wallpaper. I hope nothing like this ever happens again because these people work to bring such inspiring pieces of art to the world.
God I absolutely agree. A silent voice was such an amazing story and all the characters are so human. Just the story being based around deeper things like suicide and bullying in our generation (especially in japan like the video said) is worth so much and honestly helps an amazing amount with these things.
The world isnt getting worse...its always been like this, its just now that we know what happens around the world with technology we see how cruel it actually is smh.
It didn’t really hit me until I watched a video of the Violet Evergarden animation process, one of my favourite anime, and realised the insanely high chance that the person drawing burned to death. I instantly started crying.
Years now it's kinda like a way of delivering a letter with feelings Mostly people on early era like many years ago to 18th to or 19th century kinda do that
A Silent Voice is an adaptation from manga same as Violet Evergarden from LN , any decent anime company can make it as good as KyoAni does. Well, director, animators, and etc. played a huge part in this anime to hook us in.
@@lachancla4566 Noooo they couldnt. The truth is most anime companies are super lazy and do the bare minimum to animate a show in order to make a huge profit. Kyoani is one of the like 10 good studios that actually care about what they are creating.
@@GreatestLeaf Eh... I'm religious. I happen to believe it's a free will thing... As to why these events are allowed to be carried out, I cannot even begin to understand.
incredible video, kyo ani didn't get me into anime, kyo ani made me love anime got me through some dark days when it was hard to keep going this tragedy is a major loss to the industry and fans of eastern animation everywhere if the studio closes down after this the loss is going to be immeasurable, so many lives lost they were people that put their heart and soul into making people smile and it permeated through their work they will be sorely missed.
When I first found out about A Silent Voice, I was completely taken aback. As a person who has worn hearing aids all her life (and gotten bullied for it here and there), I couldn't believe that there was finally some representation for people with hearing loss in the media. Finally someone to relate to. I was also delighted with the fact that the animators accurately presented sign language and captured the beauty of it. I believe that A Silent Voice captivates the struggles that come with having hearing loss (and just being bullied in general) very well. This movie deeply resonated with me, and I'm grateful for the awareness it has brought to the deaf/hard of hearing community. The fact that some of the people who brought this astonishing work of art to life aren't around anymore just hurts so much.

The more I see the world around me, the more I believe this world is the actual hell, where the good ones suffer. May the 36 victims of this tragedy rest in peace.
kingmandius1 Life may be unfair, but life has a meaning. Though we see things as unfair everything still has value to us. For the people who past away, their ending and hardships is unfair. The Good meaningful thing for them is, they helped other people’s lives making material that helps them cope with their problems.
I'd say my favorite is definitely A Silent Voice It has such a good message in it but not only that, I relate to some of the characters I mean life is tough for everyone and even I've thought about killing myself before But the movie shows that no matter who you are or what you've done there are still people in the world who care about you And that message helped me a lot. So, that's A Silent Voice is my favorite anime from Kyoto Animations
Free! Is not only my favorite anime from Kyoto but in general, it taught me a lot about friendship and what makes me appreciate my friends and also got me into my swim club in my high school
I couldn’t watch it. It’s weird, when I see others that are the same as me, it makes my suicidal thoughts increase. That’s why I just try and watch fantasy anime to forget everything
Violet evergarden is truly my favorite Kyoto masterpiece. You cannot help but sympathize with the protagonist as her journey unfolds, a journey with an ultimate humanistic purpose
I just want to thank all the employees and staff for their hard work and dedication. We really loved every single creation they brought to life. Their creations were on a completely different level. It's extremely noticable how much effort and work they put in. We will dearly miss those who passed on and we sincerely hope for the recovery to all those injured and affected. I will always support them no matter what. 💜
Well, my favourite anime from KyoAni was dragon maid. It had kinda original plot, it was drawn nice, and it was sometimes quite funny. And I really enjoyed watching it!
A silent voice related to me a lot Like the main character I feel extremely depressed and always regret being alive knowing the terrible things I’ve done to people. I was always picked on by my family and I never had a good outlet to express my emotions properly and still don’t causing most of my stress, anxiety, depression, and just crappy attitude towards people. I hope that I’ll be able to get that happy ending that A Silent Voice did and I’m incredibly sad that kyoto studios had to go through this
2nd anime to make me cry first one was plastic memories, that anime punched me in the gut and strangled me... ( well not literally but ya know that pain in your throat just before your about to cry and sometimes in your lower stomach area... yea that’s how it felt ) any other sad anime I should watch?
Yen x It’s definitely one of the best anime movies out there. Heck, I’d even say it’s better than Your Name. I appreciate how it dealt with mental health and bullying, which can help others talk about it more especially those who’ve dealt with the same things. It’s not only a love story, it’s also realistic and relatable.
CLANNAD was the very first anime I've ever watched. And helped me through my part of my depression and anxiety through highschool. It also brought my younger brother and I together. Could say the same about Beyond the Boundary and college. I literally woke up to the news this morning and I feel sick.
i watched hibike euphonium around grade 6, when band was mandatory in our school. while i had always been interested in music, hibike was definitely one of the factors that showed me how to appreciate orchestral music. since then, music has become my second personality trait. i started and finished rcm piano up to level 10, i picked up the double bass, alto and tenor sax, and trombone just to name a few. i can not begin to emphasize how much music has meant to me ever since i got into high school. from the hours i’ve dedicated to playing piano to all my friends i’ve met in band and the connections that i’ll cherish for literally the rest of my life and i’ll forever reminisce on all the band trip and performances we’ve had. This year, i had to quit concert band because my IB schedule won’t allow it. I was re-watching some episodes and watching kumiko’s sister cry over quitting band really stuck a chord with me. i have no idea what i did music for either, i’m not talented enough to pursue it as a career and i’m not sure if i’ll have much time for it as school work increases. All i know is i really enjoy it and i don’t want to let go of it.
My favorite KyoAni anime is Clannad, this anime really opened my eyes to reality, to the importance of family and friends and that live is full of tragic and bad situations and we should accept that and try to make out something positive and good from those situations. Hope KyoAni heals from this, my condolences to the victims, their families, to the whole KyoAni team and the people of kyoto.
violet evergarden is probably my absolute favorite from kyoani it's a bittersweet story of a soldier finding purpose and understanding love through writing letters, something that feels genuine just from writing away their feelings it's an emotional ride and i loved every bit of it
@@vulcanmemes9770 False I cried almost every episode cause not just the animation was some of the best I've seen from an anime that wasn't a movie but a show but also the character development of each character especially violet in this anime. Like the girl literally lost her arms saving the person she cared about most even with her not understanding the normal human concept of what emotions are to coming to terms with them and letting them infuse within her and her letters as she progressed.
@@iamthethebeginningiamtheen9555 oh no i haven't :c god i hope some projects were somewhat saved, it breaks my heart when a studio like kyoani receives such a devastating blow
Michael S They need time, and we’ll give them time, they lost their coworkers, their beloved coworkers that had their own lives too, it’s hard to think but they must be shattered by the fact that their last words with those people might’ve not been the best, and they would need time to adjust to the fact that they lost so much...
@JustSome FatKid, What man so eager to watch the world itself burn with him. Afraid. What is it? What makes you apathetic? Your life, what you see? What you hear? So focused on such things that, rather gain empathy with others, you choke on yourself. I wish you the best nonetheless. To find what you seek, to gain what you think you lack. Build what you dream, and rise above what you think is not an issue.
The 33 death toll means it would not only be the most horrible event of the Anime industry, it might also be the most serious man slaughter case since Taisho period (from 1912) of Japan. Why, Just Why
srpk khin Death is no punishment I think those who have comited crimes like this should suffer in this life. Only when they are broken and beging for death should they have our permission to die and even then don't give it to them as that is the greatest punishment one can do to someone take away their will to live but keep them alive.
@@demi-fiendoftime3825 they should introduce the fucker to the chinese water torture for umm idk, let's say 10 years, only to take breaks so he can get food etc, so he doesn't die prematurely
K-On! was my first anime, I watched it when I was about 7 and to this day I still watch it. KyoAni released so many anime that are my favourites (Dragon Maid, Haruhi Suzumiya, Lucky Star, etc) and it makes me so sad that somebody would do this to them just because of a grudge. It makes me sick and I truly hope that person suffers in the worst way possible.
A tragedy indeed, but I know fellow studios and other contributors will hopefully speak up and try helping out a fellow studio that has done so much for the industry. It may be small, but all I hope for right now is Kyoani recovering and not shutting down.
@@hikki5030 they will surely need some time to mourn their colleague and rest, to recover from this trauma. But if they choose to continue thoses project, they will honour the memories, work and dedication of their late colleague. And deep down, I think they have this strength, and if necessary, it's up to us fan to support them, with patience.
@@hikki5030 indeed. They know for sure that by continuing their creation, they can honour their deceased colleagues. I may be wrong, but when you suffer a tragedy or a trauma, the most difficult part is to move on (I know thoses are big Words, but it is essentially accept the losses, and think about: how do I look again toward the future with optimism?). And to do that, one needs other people to listen, interact, possibly hug...
@@hikki5030 I may have an idea about how they can move on: create a brand new anime that specifically deals with the very same kind of tragedy. It would surely help them explore and search for a happier perspective. It would specifically be a tribute to their friends. With Violet Evergarden or à silent voice, this is already their speciality ^^
For me it was a silent voice, it had been the first anime or even movie that I had watch that shook me to the core in that way, it made me think on myself, my friends, my family, and us humans as a whole, this movie is truly a work of art. From the animation to the music and the characters. I still get chills whenever the music from the end when shoe starts crying after all the crosses fall. It reminded me of why I love anime so much, and I think it's such a shame that some people missed it because of Your name (even tho that movie was good too I'll have to admit it didn't have quite the same impact on me) each and every time I watch this movie I pick up new subtle details and meanings to some scenes, it always manage to make me cry, and still remains as beautiful. It's one of those movies I wish I could forget and rewatch for the first time all over again. What happened at Kyoto Animation was a tragedy, and I 'send' my most sincere condolences to the families of the victims (even tho I'm a little late). I hop you're all doing better. And whatever happens this movie will forever hold a spacial place in my heart.
I don't understand. Hardworking, decent people died... people that helped created beautiful things, in this world filled with ugliness. And for no reason. I just don't understand. It just bring tears to my eyes. May their souls rest in peace.
felipe costa Out of all the anime’s you could have talked about, and you talked about the Kobayashi... anyhow, I watched a couple episodes back when it was released. I’m guessing you haven’t watched any of their animes? You are probably thinking about a different anime plot when you read the title. However, the actual story is heart-warming and shows many “family” moments and their relationships and moments that they share is beautiful to me. If you want something that’s visually pleasing, look at “A Silent Voice” and “Violet Evergarden”.
Damn, i read a title of an article about a animation studio getting burned, killing and injuring several people. I didn’t know it was Kyoto Animation 😢
A Silent Voice and Violet Evergarden are one of the few animes that made me cry. My heart holds a special place for them. Thank you Kyoto Animation Studios for making my life better!
It was soul crushing to hear the new of kyoto burning down. It stabbed me on a deep level I started crying. It sounds silly to someone who doesnt watch anime but kyoto animation's anime has sparked some of the best and favorite things in my life. I met more friends through it, I do cosplay now, and its givin me something to just laugh about. May the people who past souls Rest In Peace. 😔😭
We can all sympathize with you: I barely found out. And I feel horrible, seeing that such dedicated and passionate artist die like this, as well as the fact that the survivors must feel shattered by their loss. Today is really awful.
i cried too when hearing this news. their workpieces has changed my life, going through depression when in highschool and getting friends. also their anime was the one triggered me to learn japanese up way till i am now. prayer to all the peoples in kyoto animation.
@@mels_89 lol if something this little kept you up I reccomend staying away from the news. Literal massacres going on, child armies etc. You people don't bother to learn about shit you just use it as emotional porn
when my mother told me this and when I saw this video i was mortified. a silent voice helped me through depression and suicidal thoughts. but on facebook there is a support system thing. where people can donate money to build up the building again. thank you for making this video so maybe it will go viral and people can se how amazing this company was. rest in peace to all the innocent life’s edit: well heres the thing, i am thankfull for everyone leaving nice and respectful comments but to the few people who don’t. im so sorry but there are other ways you can give me advice. such as, say it in a more delightful way or not comment stuff that will hurt others/me. and the reason a silent voice helped me (course I saw a few people getting confused) it made me realize that life had so much more value, so much more to give than catches the eye. it’s a beautiful artwork that’s beautifully animated. if you have not watched it I recommend you do. you will see the beautiful storyline and plot. thank you for your time

As a swimmer and a hardcore anime lovet Free has really been a Source of inspiration for me, the way they depict the sport is so accurate especially the team aspects. The animation is so beautiful and just makes me want to jump in the water and feel as Free as the animation makes me feel. It deeply saddens me to hear about all the injured and affected by the fire and my heart goes out to all of them and I hope the one that is responsible gets the punishment he deserves.
Kyoto Animation Studio introduced me to anime, they made fall in love with the medium and they are part of the reason I am who I am today. They are the reason I pursue art and my influence behind wanting to join the animation industry. I still can't believe that someone could do something like this to a studio who have helped so many like me. My condolences to the friends and family to those who have passed and I pray for the quick recovery of those who are injured.
Mine is, and always will be A Silent Voice. I read the manga before watching the movie and it absolutely BLEW me away. There were multiple scenes within the movie that almost made me cry and till this day it's still my favorite anime film of all time. The film alone has helped me through many tough times, and they certainly didn't deserve any of this. God bless Kyoto Animation
I read the manga before the movie too and it is truly beautiful... They definitely didn't deserve this that's why I have been crying the whole time during the video 😢 I hope the staff can recover and that they receive justice... R.I.P.
Clannad has been an anime that has stuck with me for years. It was beautiful and I will always remember it. It breaks my heart to hear about the Kyoto Animation building burning down, it nurtured amazing talent and allowed its animators to blossom whilst treating them like actual humans. It always seems that the good things get destroyed so brutally.
bc the company has unfair hiring practices, and discriminates within as well. not to mention it ruined so many anime by injecting woke trash into the content.
Anthony Davalos actually no, I read that the guy burned this place down cause he thought they were plagiarizing him, SO PLAGIARISM APPARENTLY WARRANTS BURNING A PLACE TO THE GROUND
@@minatourmemoir9554 This guy doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about. Worst mass murder in Japan for a while and animators are the victim. That's just sad considering how much love they put into everything they created. I'm just pissed off.
Miss Kobayashi Dragon Maid was the first anime I ever watched and it helped me through a lot of shit. I'm devastated by this and I hope everything gets better from here💖💖💖
I don't know why I'm just finding out about this now!? This is so tragic! I'll make sure to share this with everyone that I know so this gets out there. I was not even aware of this until just now when I saw this video! Sadly I'm dead broke and I literally have nothing to give other than prayers for the families of lost ones and for the healing of all the people involved.
Same man, I can't believe I didn't see this! This is so tragic. Not only for the lost art and the stand they take against the appaling rest of the anime industry, but for all the innocents and their families. I am not going to pretend that I had any personal connection to any of them or even knew their names aside from loving what little I know of their work, but this is heartbreaking. I hope the people affected can deal with this tragedy and rise stronger than ever from it.
@@magiv4205 Ignore the fat kid, it's his own opinion (people are entitled to their own opinions and beliefs, but I'm also entitled to my own opinions and beliefs too, not to mention that his comment is not even constructive in the least). But I do agree with you 100%. I remember when Violet Evergarden first came out and it was brand new. It's actually on my anime list of animes to watch. I will absolutely watch it as of now. That gets pushed to the top of the list. If nothing but to honor these artists and their work. I only wish I had more to give.
@Reallife Shenanigans Exactly!? I don't know why this didn't get more news coverage. In my opinion this is pretty tragic for Japan as a whole. I'm not sure why this hasn't been covered. Not to mention it's not exactly new news. This is pretty old as of now. It's sad it didn't get covered more! According to a friend of mine it did apparently make the news in Germany though for some reason. Huh.

This seems like a mental health case. We know that this was not an employee who did this. But I'm more curious of what the motive was. Something just doesn't add up....
There are reports from witnesses around the town that he was saying things like "you copied it" and "you ripped me off" while he was being pursued by some of the KyoAni staff. It seems he was angry about being plagiarized.
@@HamsterPants522 well plagiarism happens everywhere. I'm not surprised if big shot like Kyoani did such thing like reading some fanfic and then recreate the story and claim as their own. If what the witness said was true, I can understand what the man had gone through. I can imagine what he had in mind the moment his creation or something was plagiarized. And No, I don't mean killing is absolutely A-OK. Whatever the reason was he shouldn't kill anyone. But well, a depressed and snapped person could do anything beyond his capability to think.
Skeletoaster Hm. Interesting. So possibly either he is a competitor of this studio or this is possibly an otaku’s fan work that ended up in the studios hands. It’s kind of interesting since IP protection is very very stingy there to begin with
its been almost an entire year since this incident, and im still heartbroken by it. i love their stuff. its beautifully animated, directed and dubbed. my most favourite anime of theirs is nichijou. its hilarious, and has so much love poured into it and that makes it so enjoyable. i also loved clannad, even if i havent seen much of it. its heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time and it made me cry a few times. im still upset that this happened, but i hope everyones doing better now. kyotoanis the best.
Dragon Maid was one of my favorites for understanding relationships between diffrent people and how family can come from anyone or anywhere. I pray that everything will be alright. Kyoto Animation Forever.
Bob Dole he wasn’t pushing it on you. Your argument is invalid. And even if he did, you shouldn’t be pushing your opinions into him in turn. Plus, this is really not the time or place to discuss that when we’re hoping the best for those who didn’t die, but were likely seriously injured. Opinions and such aside, your comment also kinda makes you out to be a bit of an uncaring ass.
Bob Dole How the hell is he pushing his beliefs on you?! He wasn’t even telling anyone else to pray, just that he was. If he wants to pray for the people who got hurt, then let him pray.
I feel the same way seeing Kobayashi and thoru develop a friendship even though they are completely different inspired me to make freind because I’m a total introvert and seeing this tragedy makes me real sad
Anime's from Kyoto animation, make up the lions share of my anime dvd collection. The melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, took my heart by storm nine years ago (though I was already an adult,) Clannad, K-ON, Lucky Star, Love Chunibyou and other Dellusions, A Silent Voice.....Amazing charaters, beautiful animation. Such a terrible thing that they suffer this madness. 全部の会社員が安心を見つけてにお祈ります。
They actually use JSL (Japanese sign language) in the movie, not ASL so the signs don't mean the same thing in each language. It's great that you're learning some sign language though! Any form of sign is so underrated and underrepresented because it's seen as a "useless language" (many have told me that it is when I've told them I'm learning it.) I hope you continue to learn more! :D
@Takafumi's fan The Japanese are mostly Pagan/Shinto or Buddhist, so your prayers from your god won't even help. Don't think their spirits and gods would even accept a prayer from another god.
please stop arguing we have our own beliefs and opinions so dont judge others opinion or beliefs cuz we have freedom to have our own opinions or beliefs so please respect each others beliefs and opinions ok this has to stop
Kyoto did such a beautiful job with Silent voice. I had read the manga before the movie came out so I knew when all the heart tugging moment would be, but Kyoto did such a fantastic job with the art, directing, and music that to me every moment hit harder than the manga ever could. I loved every single moment, so much so that it ended up being the first hard copy of an anime that I ever bought. Each time I watch it it just seems to get better, and I still have yet to make it through the final scene without teering up. I truly hope that the souls of all those who fell victim to this tragedy can rest easy knowing what a huge impact their work made on people like us, and the world in general.
Yeah, Hyouka is an awesome anime I've ever watched. The best anime series from KyoAni that is still ruining my heart to resist the sadness is Violet Evergarden. And if you ask me what is the best of all the time without mentioning the genre, series, stuff like that, Koe no Katachi will be number one for me. I don't watch Kyoanime's anime that much but when I do, I can feel every single complementation that has been complemented for every single episode they make.
I only recently started watching some of their amazing work then come to find out this happened.. The stories and messages they left me will NEVER be forgotten… Thank you Kyoto, may your souls Rest In Peace. ❤️
A silent voice by far my most favorite “movie” of all time. and it’s not just for the wonderful direction and cinematography. it’s very open and relatable to my future as a high school teacher. Reminds to watch my class for subtle hints and acts of bullying before it either gets out of hand or is too late. It also warms my heart as a simple man, to sit watch characters develop in a very natural way even for an anime.
*It's official!* As of 11:00am JST on 1/25/2024, Shinji Aoba's been sentenced to *_death._* In Japan, those who are sentenced to death are not informed of their date of execution until *the morning of it.*
I have never been a fan of anime but my 23 year old disabled son lives on anime, this will upset him a massive amount if he finds out. I haven't got the heart to tell him :'( RIP to all, such a great loss.
He will probably find out soon. KyoAni's anime this season will be cancelled, understandably. Future works too, as some animation directors unfortunately didn't make it out. One of the most popular animes this season, Fire Force, has also announced that they will postpone the show for one week in light of this arson attack. It is quite a difficult issue to ignore in the anime community.
@@zuiwoshachang I understand this, I know i will have to break it to him but hopefully i can try and shine a nice light on it somehow with how you have all pulled together with just giving, i know there is going to be a lot tears over it, he is VERY sensitive :(
Clannad, Beyond the boundary, A silent voice. Clannad spoke to me in some many different ways. It reminded me to enjoy everything in life. Appreciate your time with your friends and family. That even a story about a normal life can still be amazing. That not everything has to be a fantasy. That just have a group of friends and trying to build a club is a beautiful tale. It also showed me that a family bond is strong even if it falls apart. I love KyoAni so much for sharing these beautiful stories with me. They brought so much joy in my life and I want to help them heal.
I started watching anime just only because of Maid Dragon.......... If not Maid Dragon, I would never run into anime fanbase and all my present friends are from it...
Nexi Nexi it was one of my first animes from KyoAni, but it definitely wasn’t my favourite or one of them because of the overwhelming amount of fanservice in it. Kanna or Elma were probably some of the only reasons I kept watching.
I am completely new to this whole story. I didn't know of the tragedy that happened.. but I have long been a fan of Clannad, not knowing who the studio was until now. I continue to watch all their stories and now as I get older I begin to understand the morals they teach. Still continuing this journey and experiencing many more stories by them
@@jerielsistrunk1990 they probably will. But it could take quiet a while becouse they have to recover from this first. (Aaaand you just reminded me that I need to catch up xD I'm still at season 2!)
Yeah, Free! Was my favourite. As much as I want a new season, I want KyoAni to recover as much as they can before- or if they start making the new season.
My favorite one is violet evergarden the plot is so good and the animation is perfect I love everything about it . Is the first anime that made me cry. I relate so much with violet in like a personal level . The way that she try to understand the feelings and emotions is incredible specially the meaning of love . All the story is a big journey of emotions for me and that's why I appreciate the effort in it . I feel so bad for what happened because that studio didn't just give us the best quality of anime and a animation , is the story the and the way that we relate to it , the memories,the things that we learned . All of that is why this tragedy hurts so much but I know they will recover from it 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

Is that why Kyoto animations animes are always so good? Because they treat their animators as humans
Taken from their Wikipedia page:
"Unlike most animation studios, Kyoto Animation's animators are salaried employees rather than freelance workers. Therefore, Kyoto Animation animators are able to focus more on the quality of each frame rather than on meeting frame production quotas."
Take a hint Disney!!!
And that increases the anime quality which increases the financial outcome, great...
@@caralho5237 whats wrong with that? the more profit kyoani makes, the less more abusive companies profit.
Good treatment + positive vibes = Awesome masterpieces
KyoAni will be back, stronger and better than ever. RIP to all of those amazing animators that lost their lives. The work they've done will never be forgotten. Prayers up for their families and everyone involved.
It will never be the same but i hope it gets better
A lot of the key people passed away in the arson... and all of next year's works are burnt since they still use traditional paper style animation drawings.
NPR7771 this might just be a way of saying that KyoAni is gonna reborn
It’s done they are all dead it’s over they aren’t coming back
Nope. The building is being turned and down, and the president of the company is gonna make it into a park.
Dude. I really pray for those who died and the families of the victims. They made inspiring animations that really helped me and many people mature and step up of depression. Pray for KyoAni.
As Nietzsche put it "Gods dead yeet"
If your depression was “cured” by anime you were never depressed in the first place. Also prayers don’t do shit.
@Kodak Sad hypocrite.
@Kodak Sad doraemon is innocent. Not all anime has lolis. Anime back in tge day wasnt just boobs and ass.

Hi again
No matter what excuses the arson had, murdering is not a good solution to start off with...
Oh you are so right. No amount of hatred you have for a company justifies taking the lives of innocent men and women who never deserved it.
they clearly couldn't steal any of his ideas, as all their works were either dating sims adaptations
or light novel adaptations. Even if he had some involvement it must have been minor, as story was based fully on source material.
Story, character designs, music must of stuff was already part of original games.
@@TaigaXsenpai what was his Light novel story even about?
Sometimes people lose his mind and go with his anger, some people can't control his anger
Idc for the arsonist. I hate to say this but KyoAni building looks prime for inferno to happen regardless. Small and limited windows. Limiting outside vision and in and out access to building in case of emergency. Top that with tons of papers for easy fuel.. it’s a disaster waiting to lit up. I hope other studios can learn from this and install proper equipment to make workplace a lot safer. Also rip for the poor souls. Hopefully KyoAni can rise from this ashes and become greater. I know they can and they will.
This is the worst thing I've seen this week.
Rest in peace to everyone that died.

I actually hated Violet Evergarden but I’ll definitely say nobody deserves to be killed for making one small mistake. People are able to learn from their mistakes but nobody should be punished like this. This is wrong.

On one hand I think this is a very weeb(nothing wrong being a weeb) comment and it's in the right place under a cultural point of view and kinda reminds me of escapism, on the other hand I FEEL YOU because I've to watch many animes from this studio and the animations in this video really hooked me.
Michele Pio Curci Careful what you’re saying, especially with that term “escapism”. You’ll attract Evangelion haters.
But I acknowledge what you’re saying. That’s it a bad timing to do anime references to simplify the tragedy.

@@whathell6t thank you very much for the clarity and the composure of your comment, I appreciate it.

@@Nitrorcman189 he won't unfortunately knowing the legal system and how fucked it is nowadays also the dudes probably insane/physociopath
@@Nitrorcman189 man I absolutely understand the feelings any human being would get in front of such a tragedy, though I don't agree at all with you.
About death penalty and why it's useles and potentially(or even more than potentially ) counter-productive, I suggest you to read "Dei delitti e delle pene" by Cesare Beccaria.
@@evanbutler9813 Actually... Capital Punishment is completely legal there and is used in cases involving mass murders, murders via arson and even just regular old murder. Execution is carried out via a good ol' fashioned noose.
Also, the term psychopath refers to someone who has absolutely no understanding of human emotion, is completely void of empathy and is unable to feel those emotions as a byproduct of trauma to the brain as a baby or an underdeveloped brain while in the womb. If he's anything remotely close to that, I think it would be more accurate to describe him as a socipath as one of the 3 key elements in the sociopathic triad is starting fires. A sociopath lacks a conscience but isn't completely unable to feel or recognize emotions. They simply don't care that they exist. They're emotionally retarded, not emotionally void.
Anyways, even if he isn't executed on 34 counts of homicide, Japan still has life-in-prison as a punishment. 34 times life... He'll never get out, and if anyone in there has children on the outside who like anime, or they themselves like anime, I'd hope he gets the American paedophile treatment. Should check out the criminal statistics between the US and Japan. It's mind-boggling how we can even call ourselves a civilized society by comparison.
35 now....
Violet Evergarden probably helped me get in touch with my emotions again. It had been almost 6 years since I had last cried. Violet Evergarden was the first thing that had let me cry again.
I had put Violet Evergarden off so i could watch the movie version mostly fresh. Guess it's not coming as soon as 2020 now is it? My best option is to revisit the anime again, really hope this is not their last masterpiece (imo).

I have watched almost all the anime from KyoAni, and it helps me to escape the things going on in real life.

Yup
Chuunibyou
True i just realized that they made Clannad and A silent Voice 😭
I know right I know when I go back to school my friend is gonna be talking about it
A Silent Voice surprisingly made me more mature in anime. A Silent Voice has special place in my heart.
I cannot agree more. The themes in Silent Voice resonated with me and still do. The animation was beautiful and brought the world to life. I was hooked in the first scene of the film, and I will never forget Silent Voice. It's kinda embarrassing to say, but it resonated so well with me that I made my home screen a silent voice wallpaper. I hope nothing like this ever happens again because these people work to bring such inspiring pieces of art to the world.
God I absolutely agree. A silent voice was such an amazing story and all the characters are so human. Just the story being based around deeper things like suicide and bullying in our generation (especially in japan like the video said) is worth so much and honestly helps an amazing amount with these things.

My hopes will follow that Kyoto Animation will rise again like a phoenix
When I first found out about A Silent Voice, I was completely taken aback. As a person who has worn hearing aids all her life (and gotten bullied for it here and there), I couldn't believe that there was finally some representation for people with hearing loss in the media. Finally someone to relate to. I was also delighted with the fact that the animators accurately presented sign language and captured the beauty of it. I believe that A Silent Voice captivates the struggles that come with having hearing loss (and just being bullied in general) very well. This movie deeply resonated with me, and I'm grateful for the awareness it has brought to the deaf/hard of hearing community. The fact that some of the people who brought this astonishing work of art to life aren't around anymore just hurts so much.
All this because the perpetrator thought Kyoto somehow "copied" his work...... Insane how some ppl on this Earth is

I'd say my favorite is definitely A Silent Voice
It has such a good message in it but not only that, I relate to some of the characters
I mean life is tough for everyone and even I've thought about killing myself before
But the movie shows that no matter who you are or what you've done there are still people in the world who care about you
And that message helped me a lot.
So, that's A Silent Voice is my favorite anime from Kyoto Animations
It's just a complete masterpiece .
Free! Is not only my favorite anime from Kyoto but in general, it taught me a lot about friendship and what makes me appreciate my friends and also got me into my swim club in my high school
I couldn’t watch it. It’s weird, when I see others that are the same as me, it makes my suicidal thoughts increase. That’s why I just try and watch fantasy anime to forget everything

Yen x it’s a movie
Can confirm
That movie just made me more sad
2nd anime to make me cry first one was plastic memories, that anime punched me in the gut and strangled me... ( well not literally but ya know that pain in your throat just before your about to cry and sometimes in your lower stomach area... yea that’s how it felt ) any other sad anime I should watch?
Yen x
It’s definitely one of the best anime movies out there. Heck, I’d even say it’s better than Your Name.
I appreciate how it dealt with mental health and bullying, which can help others talk about it more especially those who’ve dealt with the same things. It’s not only a love story, it’s also realistic and relatable.
CLANNAD was the very first anime I've ever watched. And helped me through my part of my depression and anxiety through highschool. It also brought my younger brother and I together. Could say the same about Beyond the Boundary and college. I literally woke up to the news this morning and I feel sick.
CLANNAD was one of my first as well. I have a lot of nostalgia for it.
They made me :(
First anime that made me cry in a while but it wasn't my favorite from them it was the best one made.
But Haruhi Suzumiya was where it's at!
Lucky star was my real favorite due to the humor of Otaku culture.
after story gave me non stop tear-jerker depression lmao.
i watched hibike euphonium around grade 6, when band was mandatory in our school. while i had always been interested in music, hibike was definitely one of the factors that showed me how to appreciate orchestral music. since then, music has become my second personality trait. i started and finished rcm piano up to level 10, i picked up the double bass, alto and tenor sax, and trombone just to name a few. i can not begin to emphasize how much music has meant to me ever since i got into high school. from the hours i’ve dedicated to playing piano to all my friends i’ve met in band and the connections that i’ll cherish for literally the rest of my life and i’ll forever reminisce on all the band trip and performances we’ve had.
This year, i had to quit concert band because my IB schedule won’t allow it. I was re-watching some episodes and watching kumiko’s sister cry over quitting band really stuck a chord with me. i have no idea what i did music for either, i’m not talented enough to pursue it as a career and i’m not sure if i’ll have much time for it as school work increases. All i know is i really enjoy it and i don’t want to let go of it.
Sorry but is Hibike Euphonium is from KyoAni too?
Oh God i never know about that...
That is one of my favourite Anime when i'm young
Violet Evergarden and A Silent Voice are my second and third favorite animes, respectively. Kyoani...I pray for you.
Edward Hahm What’s the first?
Your Name. The first anime I ever watched. (Ghibli Films that my parents showed me as a little kid don't count)
Trash tier list
@@monkas7047 what's it like being that wrong abt his list
JustSome FatKid and? If I wanna pray for them, because that’s what I believe in, I’ll do it.
My favorite KyoAni anime is Clannad, this anime really opened my eyes to reality, to the importance of family and friends and that live is full of tragic and bad situations and we should accept that and try to make out something positive and good from those situations.
Hope KyoAni heals from this, my condolences to the victims, their families, to the whole KyoAni team and the people of kyoto.
hユネス mine is the melancholy of haruhi suzimiya and then clannad
violet evergarden is probably my absolute favorite from kyoani
it's a bittersweet story of a soldier finding purpose and understanding love through writing letters, something that feels genuine just from writing away their feelings
it's an emotional ride and i loved every bit of it
Boring and mundane only carried by it's visuals
I cried at one point even...
Vulcan Memes Emotionless much?
@@vulcanmemes9770 False I cried almost every episode cause not just the animation was some of the best I've seen from an anime that wasn't a movie but a show but also the character development of each character especially violet in this anime. Like the girl literally lost her arms saving the person she cared about most even with her not understanding the normal human concept of what emotions are to coming to terms with them and letting them infuse within her and her letters as she progressed.
@@iamthethebeginningiamtheen9555 oh no i haven't :c god i hope some projects were somewhat saved, it breaks my heart when a studio like kyoani receives such a devastating blow
I had just finished A Silent Voice when this popped into my feed. I didn't know it had happen until know and now I'm sobbing in my bedroom...
:'( I can't sleep
I'm worried about how they will be able to recover their staff...
I really hope some talented individuals come to KyoAni to help them out.
Michael S They need time, and we’ll give them time, they lost their coworkers, their beloved coworkers that had their own lives too, it’s hard to think but they must be shattered by the fact that their last words with those people might’ve not been the best, and they would need time to adjust to the fact that they lost so much...
I’m sure they can hire some more useless goons to get their work done, pal ;)
@@holyrisingsun8841 wow!
You have no soul.
@JustSome FatKid, What man so eager to watch the world itself burn with him. Afraid. What is it? What makes you apathetic? Your life, what you see? What you hear? So focused on such things that, rather gain empathy with others, you choke on yourself.
I wish you the best nonetheless. To find what you seek, to gain what you think you lack. Build what you dream, and rise above what you think is not an issue.
@JustSome FatKid,
Indeed, I suppose so. I do really mean this in a calm tone. But however you see it is more important.
A silent voice stopped me from commiting suicide. I had it all planned, had a few days of free time left, decided to watch anime, and burst to tears.
Glad you're still with us.
I may be the guy who doesn't watch anime or an animated japanese movie but I'm glad it helped someone cope with suicidal thoughts.
Please ask for help if your depression gets that bad again!
Im glad you didn't do it

K-On! was my first anime, I watched it when I was about 7 and to this day I still watch it. KyoAni released so many anime that are my favourites (Dragon Maid, Haruhi Suzumiya, Lucky Star, etc) and it makes me so sad that somebody would do this to them just because of a grudge. It makes me sick and I truly hope that person suffers in the worst way possible.
Omg im watching dragon maid now and im SO IN LOVE W IT it always makes me laugh and brightens up my day
I was hoping for a season two of dragon maid... I was...
i KNEW lucky star and k-on we're somehow related
@@paolopiocampagnuolo4017 yeah, It was confirmed

@@holyrisingsun8841 Enjoy that edge while it lasts, pal. You'll hopefully mature eventually..
A tragedy indeed, but I know fellow studios and other contributors will hopefully speak up and try helping out a fellow studio that has done so much for the industry. It may be small, but all I hope for right now is Kyoani recovering and not shutting down.
I agree they have a lot of upcoming projects too like Dragon Maid s2 and Violet Evegarden Movie
@@hikki5030 they will surely need some time to mourn their colleague and rest, to recover from this trauma. But if they choose to continue thoses project, they will honour the memories, work and dedication of their late colleague. And deep down, I think they have this strength, and if necessary, it's up to us fan to support them, with patience.
@@guillaumelassus9307 it surely is hard for them and us but..I know that they can do it KyoAni Studio won't go down so easily.
@@hikki5030 indeed. They know for sure that by continuing their creation, they can honour their deceased colleagues. I may be wrong, but when you suffer a tragedy or a trauma, the most difficult part is to move on (I know thoses are big Words, but it is essentially accept the losses, and think about: how do I look again toward the future with optimism?). And to do that, one needs other people to listen, interact, possibly hug...
@@hikki5030 I may have an idea about how they can move on: create a brand new anime that specifically deals with the very same kind of tragedy. It would surely help them explore and search for a happier perspective. It would specifically be a tribute to their friends. With Violet Evergarden or à silent voice, this is already their speciality ^^
For me it was a silent voice, it had been the first anime or even movie that I had watch that shook me to the core in that way, it made me think on myself, my friends, my family, and us humans as a whole, this movie is truly a work of art. From the animation to the music and the characters. I still get chills whenever the music from the end when shoe starts crying after all the crosses fall. It reminded me of why I love anime so much, and I think it's such a shame that some people missed it because of Your name (even tho that movie was good too I'll have to admit it didn't have quite the same impact on me) each and every time I watch this movie I pick up new subtle details and meanings to some scenes, it always manage to make me cry, and still remains as beautiful. It's one of those movies I wish I could forget and rewatch for the first time all over again. What happened at Kyoto Animation was a tragedy, and I 'send' my most sincere condolences to the families of the victims (even tho I'm a little late). I hop you're all doing better. And whatever happens this movie will forever hold a spacial place in my heart.
I don't understand. Hardworking, decent people died... people that helped created beautiful things, in this world filled with ugliness. And for no reason. I just don't understand. It just bring tears to my eyes. May their souls rest in peace.
There is nothing to understand. Life is tough and people are evil.
Some people just wants to see the world burn
No ofence, But how a anime about hot-Dragon-girls is beautitul?
felipe costa Out of all the anime’s you could have talked about, and you talked about the Kobayashi... anyhow, I watched a couple episodes back when it was released. I’m guessing you haven’t watched any of their animes? You are probably thinking about a different anime plot when you read the title. However, the actual story is heart-warming and shows many “family” moments and their relationships and moments that they share is beautiful to me. If you want something that’s visually pleasing, look at “A Silent Voice” and “Violet Evergarden”.

when my mother told me this and when I saw this video i was mortified. a silent voice helped me through depression and suicidal thoughts. but on facebook there is a support system thing. where people can donate money to build up the building again. thank you for making this video so maybe it will go viral and people can se how amazing this company was. rest in peace to all the innocent life’s
edit: well heres the thing, i am thankfull for everyone leaving nice and respectful comments but to the few people who don’t. im so sorry but there are other ways you can give me advice. such as, say it in a more delightful way or not comment stuff that will hurt others/me. and the reason a silent voice helped me (course I saw a few people getting confused) it made me realize that life had so much more value, so much more to give than catches the eye. it’s a beautiful artwork that’s beautifully animated. if you have not watched it I recommend you do. you will see the beautiful storyline and plot. thank you for your time

As a swimmer and a hardcore anime lovet Free has really been a Source of inspiration for me, the way they depict the sport is so accurate especially the team aspects.
The animation is so beautiful and just makes me want to jump in the water and feel as Free as the animation makes me feel.
It deeply saddens me to hear about all the injured and affected by the fire and my heart goes out to all of them and I hope the one that is responsible gets the punishment he deserves.
Ah yes I'm a swimmer too and Free was the first anime I ever watched! They even swam at a pool I've competed at which was cool.
OutKastOW i just watched it for the boys...oops
Ikr free! Made me love swimming
Kyoto Animation Studio introduced me to anime, they made fall in love with the medium and they are part of the reason I am who I am today. They are the reason I pursue art and my influence behind wanting to join the animation industry.

Mine is, and always will be A Silent Voice. I read the manga before watching the movie and it absolutely BLEW me away. There were multiple scenes within the movie that almost made me cry and till this day it's still my favorite anime film of all time. The film alone has helped me through many tough times, and they certainly didn't deserve any of this.

Clannad has been an anime that has stuck with me for years. It was beautiful and I will always remember it. It breaks my heart to hear about the Kyoto Animation building burning down, it nurtured amazing talent and allowed its animators to blossom whilst treating them like actual humans. It always seems that the good things get destroyed so brutally.
Why the hell would someone do something like this? People are so evil
bc the company has unfair hiring practices, and discriminates within as well. not to mention it ruined so many anime by injecting woke trash into the content.

Clannad and A Silent Voice, the tears of my youth and the tears as of now.
I don't know why I'm just finding out about this now!? This is so tragic! I'll make sure to share this with everyone that I know so this gets out there. I was not even aware of this until just now when I saw this video! Sadly I'm dead broke and I literally have nothing to give other than prayers for the families of lost ones and for the healing of all the people involved.
Same man, I can't believe I didn't see this! This is so tragic. Not only for the lost art and the stand they take against the appaling rest of the anime industry, but for all the innocents and their families. I am not going to pretend that I had any personal connection to any of them or even knew their names aside from loving what little I know of their work, but this is heartbreaking. I hope the people affected can deal with this tragedy and rise stronger than ever from it.

But I do agree with you 100%. I remember when Violet Evergarden first came out and it was brand new. It's actually on my anime list of animes to watch. I will absolutely watch it as of now. That gets pushed to the top of the list. If nothing but to honor these artists and their work. I only wish I had more to give.
@Reallife Shenanigans Exactly!? I don't know why this didn't get more news coverage. In my opinion this is pretty tragic for Japan as a whole. I'm not sure why this hasn't been covered. Not to mention it's not exactly new news. This is pretty old as of now. It's sad it didn't get covered more! According to a friend of mine it did apparently make the news in Germany though for some reason. Huh.
- galactic lies it means you have a sense of humor, and are not an uptight person who cant take a joke. JustSomeFatKid is playing his role in spreading the light of the troll.
This seems like a mental health case. We know that this was not an employee who did this. But I'm more curious of what the motive was. Something just doesn't add up....
The witnesses say the man in question screamed "it was mine, you stole it from me". Probably angry because they didnt give him pay for something
There are reports from witnesses around the town that he was saying things like "you copied it" and "you ripped me off" while he was being pursued by some of the KyoAni staff. It seems he was angry about being plagiarized.
@@HamsterPants522 well plagiarism happens everywhere. I'm not surprised if big shot like Kyoani did such thing like reading some fanfic and then recreate the story and claim as their own. If what the witness said was true, I can understand what the man had gone through. I can imagine what he had in mind the moment his creation or something was plagiarized.
And No, I don't mean killing is absolutely A-OK. Whatever the reason was he shouldn't kill anyone. But well, a depressed and snapped person could do anything beyond his capability to think.
Madmen don't need motives
Skeletoaster Hm. Interesting. So possibly either he is a competitor of this studio or this is possibly an otaku’s fan work that ended up in the studios hands. It’s kind of interesting since IP protection is very very stingy there to begin with
its been almost an entire year since this incident, and im still heartbroken by it. i love their stuff. its beautifully animated, directed and dubbed. my most favourite anime of theirs is nichijou. its hilarious, and has so much love poured into it and that makes it so enjoyable. i also loved clannad, even if i havent seen much of it. its heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time and it made me cry a few times. im still upset that this happened, but i hope everyones doing better now. kyotoanis the best.

They actually use JSL (Japanese sign language) in the movie, not ASL so the signs don't mean the same thing in each language. It's great that you're learning some sign language though! Any form of sign is so underrated and underrepresented because it's seen as a "useless language" (many have told me that it is when I've told them I'm learning it.)

Kyoto did such a beautiful job with Silent voice. I had read the manga before the movie came out so I knew when all the heart tugging moment would be, but Kyoto did such a fantastic job with the art, directing, and music that to me every moment hit harder than the manga ever could. I loved every single moment, so much so that it ended up being the first hard copy of an anime that I ever bought. Each time I watch it it just seems to get better, and I still have yet to make it through the final scene without teering up. I truly hope that the souls of all those who fell victim to this tragedy can rest easy knowing what a huge impact their work made on people like us, and the world in general.

A silent voice by far my most favorite “movie” of all time. and it’s not just for the wonderful direction and cinematography. it’s very open and relatable to my future as a high school teacher. Reminds to watch my class for subtle hints and acts of bullying before it either gets out of hand or is too late.

Clannad, Beyond the boundary, A silent voice.
Clannad spoke to me in some many different ways. It reminded me to enjoy everything in life. Appreciate your time with your friends and family. That even a story about a normal life can still be amazing. That not everything has to be a fantasy. That just have a group of friends and trying to build a club is a beautiful tale. It also showed me that a family bond is strong even if it falls apart. I love KyoAni so much for sharing these beautiful stories with me. They brought so much joy in my life and I want to help them heal.

If not Maid Dragon, I would never run into anime fanbase and all my present friends are from it...

Nexi Nexi it was one of my first animes from KyoAni, but it definitely wasn’t my favourite or one of them because of the overwhelming amount of fanservice in it. Kanna or Elma were probably some of the only reasons I kept watching.

U kinda wonder if they will make Season 4 because of what happened. I hope so cuz Free! is one my favorites.
@@jerielsistrunk1990 they probably will. But it could take quiet a while becouse they have to recover from this first. (Aaaand you just reminded me that I need to catch up xD I'm still at season 2!)
@@aniflowers1998 lol did u watch season 3?? I already watched all the seasons lmao. I will still rewatch them tho when they announce the 4th season.
Yeah, Free! Was my favourite. As much as I want a new season, I want KyoAni to recover as much as they can before- or if they start making the new season.
It’s really unfortunate n’ sad that this happened 😕
My favorite one is violet evergarden the plot is so good and the animation is perfect I love everything about it . Is the first anime that made me cry. I relate so much with violet in like a personal level . The way that she try to understand the feelings and emotions is incredible specially the meaning of love . All the story is a big journey of emotions for me and that's why I appreciate the effort in it . I feel so bad for what happened because that studio didn't just give us the best quality of anime and a animation , is the story the and the way that we relate to it , the memories,the things that we learned . All of that is why this tragedy hurts so much but I know they will recover from it 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
yeah that one was freaking amazing!!!
Violet evergarden, Clannad and A silent voice made me cry. They have such good stories that tug at my heartstrings!!! 😭😭😭❤️
luisa_mitzuki idk it’s kinda boring to me but I’ll try to get into it even if I watch 5mins at a time
@@ak.2394 It is somewhat boring for the first half or so. After that it's an emotional rollercoaster.
Agreed
