The Nikkan Sports newspaper reported on Friday that Kyoto Animation has halted production on a planned episode for NHK’s “Anime x Para: Who is Your Hero?”
The man allegedly bought 40 liters of gasoline in two canisters and used a cart to transport the gasoline to Kyoto Animation’s Studio 1 building.
“Anime x Para: Who is Your Hero?” is an animated series aiming to increase interest in parasports ahead of the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo.
On July 18 last year, a devastating fire broke out at Kyoto Animation’s Studio 1 building.
