∟ANIC and JAniCA Crowdfund Over ¥5.7 Million for Kyoto Animation Arson Victims
KyoAni President promises upcoming anime movies are still in production, but says “Things are still very far from normal.” Of the 33 remaining survivors, 27 have already returned to work. Three employees who returned to work temporarily have since decided they need more time to cope with the stress and anxiety brought about by the attack. Kyoto Animation as a whole shut down operations for nearly a month at the start of August. The company is continually coordinating with medical institutions to try to provide necessary mental health care and emotional support to its staff, though even with these efforts, a handful of employees have resigned in the aftermath of the incident. The non-profit Animation for Next Industrial Innovation Conference (ANIC) and the Japan Animation Creators Association (JAniCA) have finished their crowdfunding campaign on Makuake for the victims of the Kyoto Animation arson attack, raising over ¥5.7 Million. In total, donations to the company have reached over US$26.8 million. Instead of a previously planned fan event, the studio will hold a "Memorial and Joining-Our-Prayers Service" at the Miyako Messe event hall in Kyoto on November 3-4. The event will be held from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on both days, and admission will be free. Staying committed to their promise that none of the donations will go to rebuilding the business, the president said that the “best way to rebuild is to look after the families involved.” Japan's Fire and Disaster Management Agency will be requiring petrol stations and other sellers to check customer IDs and ask them how they will use the fuel.
