Kyoto Animation provided printed images for the gallery and provided the data from Watanabe’s computer.
So when her great aunt saw Watanabe’s art at her memorial, she got to work setting up a gallery to commemorate her work at Kyoto Animation.
The Kyoto Animation art director passed away in the July 2019 arson attack on the studio while working on the soon-to-be-released Violet Evergarden The Movie, and had just finished work on previously released Violet Evergarden – Eternity and the Auto Memory Doll – anime film.
