While it isn’t the only anime company making its works free to watch, the gesture is especially touching coming from Kyoto Animation.
And yet, Kyoto Animation has still made the incredibly generous decision to make 17 of its critically acclaimed anime TV series and movies free to watch online, with the first becoming available today.
To say the past 12 months have been a difficult time for Kyoto Animation would be a severe understatement.
While it doesn’t specifically mention the coronavirus, Kyoto Animation’s announcement came on March 5, well after the disease began dominating the public’s attention in Japan.
