Kyoto Animation has said that at the conclusion of Violet Evergarden: Eternity and the Auto Memories Doll, the on-screen credits will include the names of all employees who were killed or injured in the attack.
It’s unclear whether Kyoto Animation had always intended to list the names of the victims in the Violet Evergarden movie’s credits, or whether the decision to do so was made in light of the list becoming publicly available following its release by the Kyoto police.
Violet Evergarden’s story of loss and separation will end with a reminder that Kyoto Animation staff who lost their lives will not be forgotten.
This weekend’s opening of Violet Evergarden: Eternity and the Auto Memories Doll would be a pretty big deal for anime fans under any circumstances.
