It was also this day, a malicious arson in the real world, and captured the life of 34 “Dream Creators”.
At about 10:30 am local time on July 18th, the first studio of the well -known Japanese production company “Kyoto Animation” was maliciously settled by the first studio located in Fushimi -kujin District, Kyoto. Witnesses said that a man on the first floor of the studio “splashed like a liquid like gasoline and ignited”, saying “to die” while igniting. After the explosion, the three -story building began to fire the fire and burst out of smoke.
On the afternoon of July 18th, Kyoto Animation President Oada Yingming faced the camera, angry and sad. He said the studio that was arson was “the core of the company.” At the time of the incident, the staff represented by the director, the original painter, and the character design of the character were on the scene. “I developed this way, I really regret it, very sad.”
However, the news of regrets came one after another, and the number of victims discovered continued to rise. As of 17:00 on July 19, local time, the fire had killed 33 people and 35 people were injured. At about 23:00 on the 19th local time, another 30 -year -old man was reportedly reported to die in the hospital, and the number of deaths rose to 34.

On July 19, Kyoto Animation President Bada Yingming responded in an interview and had indeed received anonymous complaints before. For example, “dissatisfaction with directors and expression”, the company reported these situations to the Kyoto Police. However, these are complaints about the work and have no complaints on employees and companies. Regarding rumors such as “plagiarism” in the report, Bada Yingming also said that “has never heard of such a complaint.”
Unique company
In the domestic two -dimensional animation circle, fans who chase Fan have their own favor. “Some people chase the director, some chase painters, but few people chase the company.” However, the “Jing Ani”, which is also an animation production company, has a lot of fans. The “Jingmi” who likes Jing Ani feels that “Kyoto Animation is too different and has his own unique temperament.”
Kyoto Animation was founded in 1981, and the company’s founder Bada Yoko was a woman. She worked as an animation draft in Tezuka’s Worm Studio, and then moved to Kyoto and set up a studio with her husband Bakada Yingoming. At the beginning of its establishment, Kyoto Animation mainly accepted some animation outsourcing business, such as “Inuyasha”, “Crayon Shinko”, “Pet Elf” and other cartoons have participated in Kyoto animation.
Since 2003, Kyoto Animation has gradually moved towards independent production, and has become famous by adapting to the “three tear bombs of the Key Society”. However, the works of their time will find that Kyoto animation is not high. Since 2003, the annual output of Beijing Ani TV Animation is about 1-2, and only the average annual “3 parts” have been achieved in some years. In 2017, Jing Ani only launched an anime of “The Dragon Maid of the Kobayashi Family”, and the JC Society of another Japanese animation factory in the same period launched 11. Jing Ani’s “slow work” is evident.
Xiaojun, who has been immersed in the second dimension for many years, feels that Kyoto animation gives people a feeling of “stabilizing”. “If the score is 100 points, as long as it is produced by Kyoto animation, there is a guarantee of 85-90 points, so there are rumors in the workshop: produced by Kyoto, it must be a boutique.”
In the fan circle, Kyoto Animation also has a feature “Kyoto Face”. This refers to the female characters in the Kyoto animation all have a similar face, most of which are “soft and drooping eyebrows, large and round eyes, looming noses, simple lines of mouth.” Some “Jinghei” ridiculed that “removing the hairstyle decoration is the same person.” However, in the eyes of “Jingmi”, this is more like the unique painting style of Kyoto animation, which is the embodiment of “beautiful and cute”.
Up to now, Kyoto Animation has also launched the bloody “Free”, “Ice Fruit” with suspense campus, and “Violet Eternal Garden” with a magnificent epic and epicistic temperament, but the overall style is biased towards the delicate and soft of women. The subject matter is also mainly “light theme” such as campus, daily, youth.
With childhood memories
The news of Kyoto animation fire also made domestic fans worried. Ashu, anime enthusiast who worked in Guangzhou, brushed this news from Weibo. The four words “Kyoto Animation” made her hold her heart. “Why is Jing Ani, how can I be so mad?”
Kyoto Animation is Ashu’s childhood memory. After 90s, she has been chasing Japanese games and anime since elementary school. From 1999 to 2004, the Japanese Osaka Game Production Company Key has launched three games: “Kanon”, “Air” and “Clannad”. Subsequently, these games were adapted from Kyoto Animation into anime version and achieved excellent adaptation effects. Due to the delicate and touching plot, it is also known as the “three major tear bombs”.
Ashu felt: “The anime version is very restored, and there are new highlights. It is more refined than the game and the paintings are more exquisite.” As a result, she also entered the pit of “Jing Ani” and began to chase dramas in various channels.
When she still remembers the “Harbor of the Haruki Haruki” under Kyoto Animation, she often went to the animation shop near her home to book around her. She bought 6 hand -in -law in the play, including the three protagonists and 3 supporting roles. In addition, I bought the performance suit with reference to the protagonist.
“The Melancholy of Haruki Haruki”.
In Ashu’s view, Jing Ani won the details with excellent pictures and exclusive creations. “Taking the animation of” The Melancholy of the Haruki Haruki “as an example, although it is adapted from the novel, the newly added dance design at the end of the film adds a lot to the animation version. Fire animation works. “
In the Kyoto animation, many popular characters have become the popularity of Japan’s annual anime character “Meng Wang”. For example, the character Nagato Yoshima in the drama “The Melancholy of the Haruki Haruki” was selected as the “quarterfinals” in the 2006 Ri Meng Crown. For Ashu, “watching animation, buying peripherals, looking forward to or participating in anime characters” is a childhood memory.
Destruction of losses is hard to remember

Apple CEO Tim Cook also posted on the social platform late on the 18th that “Kyoto Animation is the most talented animator and dreamer in the world.

Please be sure to save, even a life.”
With the increase of the number of victims, many Chinese fans have a heartache, saying “this is the darkest day in the history of Japanese animation.” The well -known Japanese director Iwai Iwai also condemned on the official Weibo: “The place where our creator works has become a target. Having people’s lives as grass and mustard.

Those with superb animation drawing ability may also be harmed in disaster. This damage should be serious. “”.
In addition to the loss of personnel, the paintings and materials stored in the first storage of the Kyoto Animation Studio have also been burned. On the morning of July 19, Bada Yingming, who had just appeared at the fire scene, was surrounded by reporters. Speaking of the losses of the studio, he said, “Almost everything has been ruined. The computer is also destroyed, and the amount of loss is very large. But I don’t know how much the specific loss is.”
