This is so heartbreaking. KyoAni is one of my favorite studios ever. They're one of the pillars of the anime industry. It's so sad to see this tragedy happen to your favorite studio or anyone at all. An indispensable talent is lost. He directed some of my favorite anime. So many talented people are lost today. I'm following the news and so far, there are 33 deaths. THIRTY-THREE. 33 talented people died today because of a selfish cunt. I hope the fucker rots in hell and receives death penalty.

Can't imagine how devastating it's to families, but also to workers that stayed alive, but had to go through sth like that. It will be really hard for the studio to recover. I still find it unbelievable sth like this happened.

You could do a studio with all the people that died :(
