I'm sure many of you have heard the news already, but Kyoto Animation "KyoAni" was set ablaze yesterday. Reports say there have been at least 33 deaths and injured another 36. Hearts are heavy today. The suspect, a 41-year-old, has been detained. Japan and the anime/manga industry just took a big hit with this. Many agencies, studios, and fans have begun doing what they can to help. US based Sentai Filmworks has even started a GoFundMe page. I will link articles below. My condolences go out to those affected.
