On July 18, the Kyoto Animation arson attack happened. When I first heard the news, I thought, “This can’t be real.” But it was confirmed, and I could only face the reality. The tragedy has already happened, and there isn’t much I can do. I’m writing this post as a record.

The Kyoto Animation arson attack (Japanese: 京都アニメーション放火事件) was an arson and murder incident that occurred on July 18, 2019 at Kyoto Animation’s Studio 1 in Fushimi Ward, Kyoto, Japan. A 41-year-old man (born May 16, 1978), Shinji Aoba, poured gasoline inside the studio, triggering an explosion and massive fire. The three-story building was completely destroyed, resulting in 34 deaths and 35 injuries (including the attacker).

Kyoto Animation Works I’ve Watched

  • Violet Evergarden (recommended by others; I didn’t watch for a long time, then finally did and felt like I found a treasure — the animation is superb)
  • Beyond the Boundary (watched back when I wasn’t a hardcore otaku yet — really good)
  • Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions (I think I finished it, but it’s been a long time)
  • A Silent Voice
  • Myriad Colors Phantom World
  • Hyouka (didn’t finish)

Flowers

  • Daisy (my aromatherapy, my favorite flower)
  • Violet

Beyond the Boundary

I watched it long ago. As a short-hair enthusiast, I loved it. And “Daisy,” the ending song, is god-tier.

Violet Evergarden

The art style is just amazing and gave me a bit of warmth while I was still in school.
