On July 18, 2019, an arsonist set the Kyoto Animation studio on fire injuring several people and leading to the loss of lives. Details on this unbelievable act are still developing.
Sentai Filmworks hopes to help the KyoAni team during this time of need and asks that you join us in this endeavor.

Although the situation is still developing, it is clear that our friends at Kyoto Animation (KyoAni) have suffered greatly. In addition to the loss of life, many lives will be forever changed. Like all of you, we wanted to take action to help however we can. That is the purpose of this Gofundme effort.
We’ve known KyoAni through their many works that have inspired, influenced and entertained us over the years. They are true masters of their art and one of Japan’s national treasures.
Your pledges and the funds we raise are intended to provide the most direct, meaningful assistance possible to the victims of this heartbreaking tragedy. We are coordinating with others in the Japanese anime industry within Japan to ensure that funds collected reach those in need. We will continue to provide updates as those details develop.
For now, I want to thank everyone for their kindness, generosity and support of this effort. The outpouring of pledges and messages of support has been tremendous. Please help us continue this effort.

Kyoani gives me the best memory for many times, i wonder everything will getting better like the sun always comes out after a rainstorm.
KyoAni has bring so much hope in the world. This is but a speck of the fortune and good will they deserve.
쿄애니가 빠르게 부활할 수 있기를..... 팬의 한 사람으로서 슬픈 소식을 접해 안타깝습니다.
KyoAni has added so much joy and positivity to my life and this world, and I am horrified and sickened that such a wholesome studio that treats its employees so well has been targeted in this inhumanly evil way. Money can’t possibly compensate for the lives lost, but I hope to give back to those who are still living to help them heal and have a better future.
I want to show solidarity with fellow workers in the animation industry.
KyoAni didnt deserve this shit. They're good people who make beautiful wholesome art.
京阿尼加油呀！
唯有泪千行

the best the best the best
Condolences for your loss, please remember the lives lost in this tragedy.
