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.
Arsonist is shown list of victims’ names at first court hearing, but start of trial is likely still far away.
Nearly a year after the tragic deaths of dozens of anime creators, the man responsible will finally begin facing justice.
New titles released every day over 16-day period as much of Japan stays home to prevent spread of coronavirus.
“I want them to build a monument. Not in some other place, but in the same place where the studio was.”
People in Japan are concerned for the nurse who’s become the object of a killer’s affections.
Kyoto neighborhood organization says it would “destroy the peaceful lifestyle” of local residents.
Workers begin gutting interior of Fushimi anime studio in preparation of tearing down its frame.
