About the fire at Kyoto Animation (Second report)

We would like to express our condolences and sympathies to all the people who suffered from the arson attack at the animation production company “Kyoto Animation” building on July 18, 2019. We cannot repress our deep sorrow and anger in the face of this shocking news.

At Kyoto Seika University, we have been working on education and researching video art expressions, particularly in the animation course from the faculty of manga. Kyoto International Manga Museum, a joint project with Kyoto city, is also managed by the university to contribute to the further development and the succession of anime culture.

Through such activities mentioned above, not a small number of graduates from the university are involved with Kyoto Animation. As the magnitude of the damage from this arson attack becomes clearer, many interested parties including students and graduates are willing to support Kyoto Animation.

From such circumstances, on July 19, we started to collect donations to help repair and renovate Kyoto Animation, which is also related to the succession of anime culture. Since then, numerous people have participated in it and we have received a lot of messages via SNS and other ways from people who want us to implement other methods that allow participation from far away.

As a result, we have opened a bank account for donations, which is explained in the information below. We will officially announce the state of donation time to time. Rest assured that all of the donations, both sent to the bank account and collected in the donation boxes, will be sent to Kyoto Animation.

We deeply appreciate your support.
