Kyoto Animation
A jaw-dropping, magical, and whimsical chase through KyoAni’s hometown (which isn’t Kyoto).
After killing 36 people, defendant still says he thinks that what Kyoto Animation did was wrong.
Balance struck between giving fans and family a place of remembrance and letting life return to normal in Kyoto neighborhood.
Kyo Ani artists made sure that the anime heroines’ emotionally evocative locks are possible in real life too.
KyoAni proves they’re still one of the best with these breathtaking beautiful commercials.
Incredibly brief Tsurune meat-shopping scene aired exactly eight months before arson attack.
A year and a half after the attack that killed 36 people, mental health questions are no longer a road block to trial.
One thing’s for sure: the animation studio known for its lush visuals will take the utmost care to ensure every minute detail is a work of art.
