Kyoto anime fire: 2 yuan 9 1 1. Is this really the darkest moment in the history of Japanese animation?

I think the arson of Kyoto animation, which is the most vicious arson in Japan after the war, has damaged not only Kyoto animation, but also the whole Japanese animation industry and the hearts of anime fans all over the world-that light yellow three-story building burned by arson is the "animation holy land" in the minds of all animation houses.

The melancholy of spring

In 2009, Kyoto Animation began to host the "Kyoto Comic Award", and founded the "KA Esuma Library" on 20 1 1 to publish the original novels and scripts that won the "Kyoto Comic Award". 20 12, the second year of technical secondary school should also fall in love! "has become a landmark event of Kyoto animation: this cartoon work is adapted from the" KA Esuma Library "of Kyoto animation-which means that Kyoto animation began to provide original materials for its own animation production and achieved" self-sufficiency "in the whole process.

"Second-class and second-class diseases should also fall in love!" Theater version "

After entering the 265,438+0 century, Kyoto animation ushered in the highlight of its growth. Stable picture quality, fine color skills and delicate character expressions make Kyoto animation capture the hearts of countless animation houses around the world. Every year, a large number of animation houses go to Kyoto Animation Building of Kyoto Yusi for a "trip to the Holy Land"-most of them are shy. Even if I reach Kyoto all the way, I just stop and stare at the pale yellow buildings in Kyoto animation. On the "Zhihu", you can also find a passage written by China Animation House after going to Kyoto Animation for a "trip to the Holy Land":

"People come here to visit the holy land in an endless stream. Most of them are otaku. The best TV animation in the world comes from this humble building. "

It is said that there are about 3,000 arson cases in the world every year, and many suspects set fires just for "fun" or "attention", as written in Haruki Murakami's short story "Burning Barn": Without a purpose, they just want to burn the barn, "splash gasoline, strike a match, turn around and run, and enjoy it slowly from a distance with a telescope." For some arsonists, they just "burn down the barn" because they are lonely and bored and looking for a sense of existence in their lives.

Why on earth did the hysterical arsonist in Kyoto animation "burn the barn"? Why take so many lives? There is no exact version of the specific details at present, so I don't quote Jianghu rumors here. But there is no doubt that this is the second dimension 9 1 1 event, which is the darkest moment in the history of Japanese animation. For whatever reason, arsonists are unforgivable.

May Kyoto animation withstand the blow and recover soon.

May the dead rest in peace. Cross your hands.
