Is the KyoAni fire a lingering wound in the animation industry?

I think this time the animation industry will be forever hurt when we wake up and hear the bad news... At 9:35 Beijing time, three people in a residential area in Fushimi District, Kyoto, Japan The floor was set on fire and the fire spread rapidly, causing casualties.

That three-story building is the first studio of Kyoto Animation.

When the news came, animation fans felt sad.

This company has produced "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya", "Lucky Star", "Light Music Girl!" ! ", "Kobayashi's Dragon Maid" and other works, although occasionally some fans will not buy it because of a certain work, but the "KyoAni Enjo" they once called has never meant what it does now.

I never thought that jokes and angry words would become "prophecy" today.

Kyoto Animation started out as an outsourcing company. According to legend, the main force at the beginning was a group of housewives who worked odd jobs to supplement their family income. Perhaps it was these ordinary but great women who projected their girlish feelings that were covered up by their trivial lives into their works, so that when Kyoto Animation was mentioned later, what appeared in the minds of many friends was "girly hearts".

The first studio has more than 100 employees in total. This incident caused heavy casualties. Such a serious talent gap cannot be filled in a short time. This blow to KyoAni is devastating and irreparable.

After encountering such a serious incident, the psychological trauma of the employees is immeasurable. I have worked hard for my beloved art and career, but I have been maliciously harmed by unknown people. Who can bear such a psychological gap? Maybe some talents will quit KyoAni because of this, or even bid farewell to the animation industry.

So far, the directors confirmed to be safe include Naoko Yamada, Tatsuya Ishihara, and Taichi Ishihara. Takemoto Yasuhiro and others have no definite news yet. They are the backbone of KyoAni and the soul of the work. I sincerely hope that they will be safe and sound. Hope this world will get better and better.
