Kyoto Animation, one of Japan’s most popular anime studios, was reportedly set ablaze this morning in Japan.
Update 2: July 18 – 12:59 am: One witness said the suspect was screaming “die” as he lit the fire.
Located in a residential area, the building is Kyoto Animation’s No. 1 Studio, NHK reports.
Kyoto Animation is perhaps best known for anime like The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Lucky Star, K-Oh and more recently, Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid and Free!, among many others.
