In a cruel twist of fate, the channel hit 100K subscribers a day after the incident. I'd like to thank every one of you for supporting me up to this point. I can't help but think how much of that I owe to Kyoto Animation. They've been my joy, my inspiration, my passion. No amount of thanks is enough.

This was really heartbreaking news
Thank you, for inspiring me and helping me put words to my feelings for Kyoto Animation.
This needs to be subtitled to every language. It's absolutely beautiful. Thanks man!
Under The Scope thank you for pushing through and making this video. I can tell from your voice it was difficult for you. Kyoto Animation has given us all strength and now we have to put it into the world ourselves
You are great. Your content is great, and your words here felt really sincere.
We thank YOU.
Rise again KyoAni! Is one of the most amazing anime studios ever.
The studio had survived, they had insurance. the working conditions there will allow them to raid other animation studios for top-notch talent. They will be back.
@@jamesricker3997 People will always stand up after troubling event.
@@jamesricker3997 a big problem with that assumption is that most of their most talented people such as Ishihara, Ishidate, and the Ikeda sisters are all still missing - very likely dead. Kyoani very likely last all of their most talented people, the people that when combined, created their identify. Naoko Yamada is the only one confirmed alive
James Ricker Also, there’s more than a one million dollars being donated to the studio.
@@Kougeru The studio will never be the same, but I believe they can still be one of the greats even in the face of tragedy.
I had a breakdown at "It's thanks to you I'll never forget how warm it sounds"...
Me too. The cracked voice omg 😢 he was holdinh too much.
I had a breakdown at "No letter deserves to go undelivered" :'(
@@aoikishu I had a breakdown at... well the whole thing...
Me too 😞😭
jamjam jj same I broke down at the end
I have not stopped feeling grief and sadness - Words alone can not express how much these shows have had an impact on all of us. Listening to a euphonium will never be the same again.
I listened to the number "sound! euphonium" again yesterday, and I couldn't stop crying
@@stonecat676 man I haven't watched Sound Euphonium even though I heard it's a good music/band anime.
Never watched Sound! Euphonium, but as a euphonium player, I am glad theeuphonium is entering media. I hope KyoAni heals well.
For me it was A Silent Voice. Their take on bullying and the effects of suicide (or attempted suicide) really ring true.
I've personally been effected by the suicide of a loved one, and it's something that should be brought to the forefront, as they have done.
Kyoto Animation, I thank you.
@@itsblitz4437 it is a great music/band anime (they hired professional band players for recordings)
but for me, it's an even greater anime in regards to characters and their complex feelings and relationships.
Under The Scope has made a lot of videos on this anime, you should check them out after watching the anime first.
As an animation student, as an artist, seeing 40 years of animation and art history lost, seeing some of the greatest artists of our generation lost for nothing is heartbreaking. They shared with us the joys an entire spectrum of human emotion can bring, that even sorrow and hate can be spun into something positive. It's a twisted irony that so much attention has been brought to the studio due to the tragedy. That it brought so many people together even beyond our niche community; such an outpouring of support. Our reality now shares that same celebration of emotions they wanted to display in their stories. The fundraiser for those who remain, the survivors, their families and the families of the victims. The exposure to and recognition of their work and their legacy.
I don't know how to really finish this, I was writing it while listening to the video and hearing the pain in your voice just kinda broke my train of thought. I just know they won't ever be forgotten and I hope somehow they know that their message, the message they shared with the world with the stories they told, was received. And now that message is being shared and passed by us.
I was in the middle of re-watching Liz and the Blue Bird when this news broke out. I've been beyond heartbroken since then. KyoAni's works have had such an impact on my life and hold such a special place in my heart. They've helped me through dark times and helped me learn things about myself. K-On!, Dragon Maid, Euphonium, Tamako Market, Nichijou, Lucky Star, Koe no Katachi, Liz and the Blue Bird... I love all of these and more so much. I feel like these lyrics from K-On!'s "U&I" sum up how I feel best:
I think I've been spoiled too much
Because you're too good to me
You gave me so many things that that I can't even get to pay you back
All the while I took your existence for granted
And I thought that we would always, always be together
As days go by
I'm sorry only now I realized
That isn't really the case
So to start things off I have to tell you these two words
"Thank you"
3:41 I heard your cracked voice, holding too much emotion. I can't. This is beautiful.
I had to try so hard not to cry on that part..
Even if -I- no..we can’t see his face, we can see how much this impacted him. I hope KyoAni rises again, little by little, so it can make all of us happy, especially him.
I found the news hard to take. I kept pushing it to the back of my head. Having family members working in this industry made it hit so much closer to home and I feel a little closure to this horrible horrible event because of this. So to kyo ani and to you jack. Thank you
you have family members that are animators??
@@jhonnie6778 it's pretty common actually, especially in the us
@@stonecat676 its not, ive never seen a human who animates im shocked, i though animators were a different species
@@jhonnie6778 I'm Japanese born in uk
@@jhonnie6778 I used to work in an office on the same floor as an animation studio that worked on outsourced stuff from Toei Animation. There were over 200 people working in that office that I used to see and meet every day. They're not that rare.
KyoAni had one of the biggest impacts on my life, without them I wouldn't be where I am know.
It feels like I should support them more than I am currently being able to from the other side of the world.
True
I feel the same
They have a gofundme to help them get on their foot again
@@mm1nt Already donated but I'd like to help them somehow more than just financialy. In a similar way described after 3:56.
Thank you 'Under The Scope', for letting me cry. This video let me cry.
Because of Haruhi and Lucky Star, I joined the anime community.
Because of Full Metal Panic, I joined the military.
Because of Clannad, I joined humanity.
Kyoto Animation and their anime adaptation of Violet Evergarden, not only got me to learn Japanese but unmeasurably altered my persona.
Kyoto Animation changes lives for the better and this is evident from your heartwarming deliverance, Jack. I'd hate for the studio to be remembered as the one where tragedy struck, that's not my KyoAni. Their works are about love and understanding, and we should be so thankful to have experienced them. Thank you for making this. Hopefully the worst is behind us, stay strong.
This channel introduced me to Kyoani and their amazing work, for a couple years now I've been a big fan of theirs. When i got home from being out for my birthday I got these news through a page I follow and my heart dropped. My heart goes out to the families of the diseased and hope those in critical condition are able to push through. My prayers are with them
When blacksmith makes a sword, he takes a raw metal ingot and heats it so that it can be shaped into a desired form. Once that ingot is cooled down, it becomes harder and more flexible than before. Just like when a sword is made, I believe that when the ashes settle, when the last charcoal burns out, both at the now destroyed studio and in the hearts of the grieving, Kyoto animation will stand stronger than ever.
Ass, we can.
I felt really bad when I heard the news, even moreso as the full damage came to light over the next few days. This video is so beautiful. KyoAni are lucky to have fans who love it as much as you do and I hope they can recover in the future to keep making the content we all love.
This video literally made me cry. It's been a very long time since I actually cried about something. Thank you, Under The Scope, and Kyoto Animation.
no the fans are lucky to have KyoAni
“You showed me, Fun things are fun.”
That’s when I started crying.
Kyoani saved my life several times and formed who I am today. There's not enough words to thank them for what they've done for the world. They were always there when I needed them. It's so much more than just "Entertainment". I don't exaggerate when I say they saved my life. Their works were what helped me cope with so much problems in my life. I'll continue using the works they've already made to push me forward, but I hope they really can come back and help others heal with new works.
Glad to see you recover from the initial shock. Your Twitter feed was pretty hard to read sometimes.
I did my part and hope KyoAni can recover and persevere, regardless if they move on and the studio ceases to exist.
I hurt me a lot that i've always had these dream of going to work on kyoani someday, thinking of this was what kept me studying when i felt like it nothing i did matterd... when i heard of the fire... it felt like that dream was consumed in it like the only hope in my life was drained away and i didnt realize until then how much.... i loved this people and how much they had help me and how much hope the had given me... im sorry... thank you for all KyoAni
#prayforkyoani
Just find some slice of life anime dun be so down..... Trust me!!
Kyoto animation made me want to carry on as an artist, to realise a drawing can look so beautiful, it took me out of the darkness
You put into words excatly how i feel. Ive always loved your videos on their work, especially the two on how warm it sounds and at the entrance to the universe. I still go back and rewatch those two every so often. Thank you KyoAni, for touching my life so many times throughout these years. And thank you Jack, for this video.
I’m a Japanese American, so my heart hurt not only because this animation studio that helped me through so much but because of my family history. I took a trip to Japan back in 2012 and I only wanted to do 2 things while I was there. I wanted to see my family and I wanted to go to the place that gave me so much joy in life. Seeing the building I traveled halfway around the world to see in flames destroyed me. I am working on a manga/webcomic right now that simply wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for that company showing me the beauty of life and animation. The Japanese are a very strong people, they will recover stronger than ever, but damn I wish it never happened. They will grow, morn and thrive and we (The fans) will be there open-armed ready to support them in any way we can. The amount of donations has gone up tremendously since I last looked which is incredible news. Thank you for this gorgeous video, I can tell it was painful to have to write but know your words are beautiful and speak volumes. Thank you Kyoto Animation.
KyoAni has given fans plenty of reasons to cry. This is the first (and hopefully last until the studio's closure many many years from now) to be so painful. But the tears shed have never said so much of their ability to touch hearts.
Thanks KyoAni, and thanks UTS for the info on how to help.
Thank you so much for speaking for the millions of people who also want to say, "Thank you Kyoto Animation. You will always be in out hearts."
I'm so heartbroken by the fact that some person would do such a thing to innocent individuals who were just working to give happiness and joy to others in the form of anime...
This is such a beautiful video (as well as other tributes to KyoAni) and I'm so proud of this anime community coming together in order to help the ones involved in this tragic event. Thank you, KyoAni. You have made my life, and many other's, the most happiest whilst watching your creations. There's no words that can express my sincerest gratitude and here's to a brighter future ahead of you!^^
July 18th 2019 is not a dark day for only Kyoto Animation, but I believe that it is a dark day in the whole of the anime community.
And the day of my third period for some reason (no pun intended this just happened to me)
Thank you for sharing this. What happened was horrible and it hits home, especially for KyoAni fans. I almost didn't get last week's video out because I was in a depressed funk. You're always working hard and we know how much the studio means to you.
I was expecting a video from you Jack. Thanks for making it.
Ai wo Mitsuketa Basho playing right at the end there was a perfect choice, simply because, one could say, The Place We Found Love, was with none other than KyoAni. We fell in love with their works, and their utmost care for their employees. As Jack so brilliantly said (and showed through this video and his tweets from the last few days), no amount of thank yous are enough for what they have done for so many of us.
Thank you KyoAni.
(For those unaware - Ai wo Mitsuketa Basho translates to The Place We Found Love)
Well said, Yuuki
People can be found and recruited, but experience and talent can never be replaced, i read somewhere there are a lot senior employees who lost their lives, people with rich experiences are gone just because a random fucking dude hate the studio for stupid reason, people who have family waiting them at home, this is really tragic and sad year..
Stay strong KyoAni, we will always support you..!!
I cried again for this tragic loss, thank you so much for putting into words so many of us can't find the breath to even try and say. For someone like me who is so far removed from the core of those affected, I can't even fathom how truely heart wrenching this all is.
The only video I decided to come back to one year later. Thank you Kyoani.
KyoAni has and will always have a place in my heart.
I was so incredibly crushed when I heard about the Kyoto Animation fire. It was super late at night/early in the morning for me but I just couldn't sleep. My grief hit me like a truck, and outpourings of said grief come in waves over the past few days. I was looking at the Funimation and Sentai Filmworks blu-rays of their work on my shelf and was just taking time to think about all the people who worked on those series and films, no matter their title, and my heart felt so heavy.
I remembered how only a few weeks ago I was telling someone that KyoAni was one of the best anime studios in regards to how they treat their staff, pay, respectable hours, supporting women in higher up positions. It was a point of pride that made the studio special, outside of their beautiful work.
Last Saturday, I was talking about the tragedy with a friend (who isn't a major anime fan, but is still aware of the biggest hits like Ghibli films, Attack on Titan, etc...), and even gave her a couple easy-to-find recommendations of their work. She texted me on Sunday about how much she absolutely loved A Silent Voice.
This video felt incredibly genuine and true to my own feelings, so thank you for sharing it.
I'm so speechless when heard about news. Thanks KyoAni because made a lot of wonderful animes work.
What can I say is, don't lost hope both in living and animation world. Stay strong, you will rise again and make a lot of great anime. We are always stand with you.
#KyoAniForever #PrayForKyoAni
😭😭😭
I knew I had to watch this the moment it went up, cos otherwise I’d never be able to bring myself to click it. Stay strong, we’re all right here with you 👍
We love Kyoani... Kyoani taught me how to love selflessly and never take anything for granted.
"The place we found love" - Hibike Euphonium (at the end of the video) really broke me into tears...
Thank you for this video and thank you KyoAni...I hope they will come back stronger from this tragedy.
"No letters deserve to go undelivered"
I'm not sure how to reach Kyoani, but I will now write this letter.
Kyoani has caught my eye at a very young age. Their characters and animation is just beautiful. From Hyouka, Chuunibyou, and Amagi Brilliant Park to Clannad, Dragon Maid, and more, I enjoyed many of their works. Kyoani is my favorite studio and it pains me to witness them in such a tragic incident. Although this letter may not reach them, it will be right here for them and others to see. To know that a fan cares.
Thank You, Kyoto Animation,
-Mat
KyoAni has given us so much over these years. Now's the time to give them something back, even if it won't equate to what they've given us and won't come close to compensating for what was taken from them.
I only recently got into anime and discovered the Kyoani fire. You've put everything I thought into words. Keep up the good work!
I don't much fine with English language but I love your videos, your voice in this video broken my heart, stay strong for KyoAni and for all your followers.
Greetings from Colombia.
Thanks for making this. It honestly sums up my thoughts better than I think I'd be able to at the moment. I'm sure they'll be able to come back from it, but jesus fucking christ . . . it just feels so unreal sometimes, that such a fantastic studio that's made such amazing work could go through something so horrible. I can only imagine what their friends and family are going through. And I'll admit, I'm kinda shocked by how much it's affected me, since I am a more recent fan (Dragon Maid is what originally got me interested), but still. Thank you, KyoAni.
Thank you KyoAni, for everything.
For being the best studio in the anime industry, for providing honest wages and career options to your staff. For being that one studio that has more female then male staff, including executive positions. For providing us fans with one amazing show after the next, both in visual appeal and in heart-tugging storytelling. For being a large influence in shaping me to the person i am today. For teaching me it's okay to be different, to be depressed at times, for that is what makes you stronger looking towards the future.
Please, everybody at the company, take your time. Stay strong, give time for these wounds to heal. We as a fanbase will wait for you, we will be there when you ascend from this darkness and flourish as a stronger company in the future. For those still in the hospital, stay strong and know you have the world supporting you to get better.
Thank you KyoAni, for being you. Hontou arigatou gozaimasu.
I also want to say thank you because you did not only express your feelings but also mine. And I hope that all the survivor at that incident will get well soon.
I've watched a handful of these tribute videos to KyoAni and every one has made me tear up. It really hits home how much of an impact KyoAni's shows have made on peoples lives, and it's not necessarily one or two shows, but a whole list of wonderful anime that people feel close to. For me it's Clannad, K-On, Hibike Euphonium and The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya just to start off with. It's Koe no katachi (A Silent Voice), Violet Evergarden, Amagi Brilliant Park and Kobayashi Dragon Maid to name some more.
I've finally got around to purchasing a handful of digital downloads from their store (and for the record, they're about US$2 each for people struggling with exchange rates), but I feel that no matter how much I donate, or purchase, or give, it won't be enough to repay them for what they've done for me or alleviate my ineffectiveness to help them overcome this tragedy. However, I'm fully confident that KyoAni will recover from this and again give us something to wow us. And for that, I'll be eternally grateful.
You couldn't have said it better. Thank you everyone at Kyoto Animation for all the inspiring character driven stories and works of art that have made me laugh and cry to. Teaching me how to value others more and changed my overall outlook on life.
From the bottom of my heart, even if some of you decide to retire from animation, I'll still be happy with the choice. I wish everyone at the studio happiness above all, and I'll never forget everything you've done for me
I'm with you 100%. We must wish each of them the best in their recovery process and accept whatever comes from it. I know I'll be cheering them on, wherever they go.
Don’t give up on them yet! Those artists will never or ever stop drawing nor their hobbies even at Heaven! Don’t worry, we all will one day be in Heaven just to enjoy their work there too!
Just like for many others KyoAni's works had quite an impact on me. I wouldn't have learned to love and appreciate classical orchestral music without Hibike!, I don't think I would've ever touched the guitar without K-ON, I wouldn't have learned to appreciate the small things in life, I wouldn't have started paying close attention to little details in the animation and sound if not for their works, I wouldn't have gotten to experience so many different emotions without those works. I didn't know that a tv show or a movie could move me to tears, I didn't know that it could bring me pure joy and make me genuinely smile.
Even though you can never bring back those talented individuals who were lost in this tragedy, I really hope from the bottom of my heart that this isn't the end and that one day I'll experience yet another masterpiece from such a wonderful studio.
Thank you KyoAni.
Thank you. In tears. KyoAni saved me. This is not an exaggeration. I suffer from severe depression, and I've tried to kill myself twice in the last two years. If I hadn't found K-On! and the other Kyoto Animation works I wouldn't be here. They gave me a small bright spot in my otherwise shit existence. I feel so useless in that I can't afford to help. I tried to sell off the collectibles I no longer have any passion for so I could get the manga, anime and collectibles of they KyoAni works that helped me but no one wants to buy them. I feel like I've let them down. I owe them so much.
I'd just like to add one more thing. The police in Japan have named the suspect. I will never use his name. I refuse to read it. If someone (news report) uses it, I plug my ears. KyoAni is creativity and joy. It is love and happiness. This insect will not taint it. I will not join those baying for his blood. I will NEVER use his name. He is the perpetrator. He is the criminal. He deserves no more attention or recognition. Ever.
Right now the go fund me has raised almost 2 million dollars by many people who want to help and many people have donated, prayed, and have done other things to help the people at kyoAni. We hope that KyoAni recovers from this tragic event and we hope it will never happen to KyoAni or any other studio ever again. Although it will probably never be the same again.
I realised how much i take Anime for granted.
It’s really hard to describe what Kyoto Animation has exactly done for me in words, but they’ve made me realize some of the most important things before it was too late. There is so much that I could and probably would have lost if it wasn’t for the beautiful work of these people who made me realize just how wrong I was. Thank you Kyoto Animation, for making me into the person I am today, who’s slowly but surely becoming the person you’ve driven me to become.
This open letter to Kyoto Animation expresses precisely what I have been feeling for the past few days. Last week I drove several miles to see the new Sound Euphonium movie because of how much I love the work of my favorite studio. The shock hasn't yet worn off.
Thank you, Kyoani. Thank you, UTS. This is a beautiful letter.
“No letter deserves to go undelivered, right?”
Fuck, man that put me over the edge
Thank you for making this video. I absolutely adore this studio and their inspiring films.
I just finished Violet Evergarden a few days ago. It was an unforgettable coming of age drama, one that at it's core was a tale of coming to terms with loss, a story of seemingly insurmountable struggle but one that ultimatly ended in prevalence, a meticulously crafted work of art, one that could be spawned only from the minds and hearts of those who truly understood the depths of human emotion. My words cannot do justice to the greatness that was this anime. Kyoto Animation is truly one of the best Japanese animation studios to have ever existed. The loss suffered during the attack is without a doubt the biggest tragedy that this community has ever faced, a truly irreplaceable and incompensable loss.
My prayers and well wishes are with this fantastic studio and it's amazing staff and I have the utmost faith that in due time, KyoAni will once again rise to it's former glory and even reach new heights.
I am really proud of the Anime community, coming together to support in everyways they can. Really means a lot
Kyoto Animation has given so much through their Beautiful and amazing artwork through Anime's which hits us in the feels and makes smile and laugh. They deserve such love and appreciation. Hope they recover Safely.
2 years passed and I am here again. Time doesn't heal, it's a lie. It still hurts so much.
it gets worse with every new kyoto animation show i watch from before the fire
@I.A.P.O.W.C. you alright bro?
KyoAni is the best, I love KyoAni, I hope they can recover, thank you KyoAni
“You told me everybody loves somebody...” 😢❤️
what a beautiful message dude brought tears to my eyes, i genuinely hope they manage to recover from this!
Many have already said this, but KyoAni has really changed my life and introduced me to the beautiful world that is Anime. I can never forget the first time I watched Clannad and After story, back than when I was casual fan. I thought back than that none of the fictional medium could shed a tear for. Oh so I was wrong. I swear watching that anime changed something is me, maybe I don't remember it now, but it sure did. Even to this day, I hardly find any anime that brings those same emotions I felt back than. I can very confidently say that KyoAni is my favorite studio. Most of their works are in my top 10 and watching this video even made me tear up a little. So thank you Kyoani and thank you Jack. I hope they make a comeback, being stronger than ever.
The idea that the people who animated these clips might be dead now is utterly ailen to me. I'm in tears. Thank you for your letter and for your tribute.
Aha! I knew you were going to make a video of this! And also, rest in peace kyoani, you can take all the time you need to recover, I just want you to be happy again
upon looking back i realized how many diff things kyoto animation worked on and its amazing. I really hope they recover, they're truely one of the great anime studios out there that really treat their workers right and they didn't deserve this, no one deserves what they went through....
KyoAni is underated for the ost selections. I know they to make the posts themselves but they work so well with the composers of their anime.
The well composed music along with their top talent animation really brings their shows to life. And the other thing I wanna shout out is their work with VA's. They always seem to find the best VA for each character.
Sound euphonium S1 is a good example. A simple storyline told with amazing music, stunning visuals, and great background sfx that makes u connect so deeply with the characters.
I was in Japan for the first time and I heard the news in a bar and I almost dropped my beer.
KyoAni made my childhood favorite Full Metal Panic! It took me a week to read the articles about the incident, it hurts so bad.
Kyoto Animation, thank you. I appreciate everything you do. I respect all of your artists as professional and their incredible dedication.
Rest in Peace to everyone who lost their lives and a healing to the family that lost their love ones.
I remember crying my eyes out to violet evergarden and a silent voice, both great. Thank you Kyoto Animation and the lives that were lost. Hope a tragedy like this does not happen again. Again Thank you for the tears, laughs and good times
Thank you, Kyoto Animation, for all the joy and sadness and beauty you have gifted us with. These works have had such an immeasurable impact on me and countless others, and I can only say thank you to everyone at the studio.
Jack, you worded this so beautifully, and I could tell how close to tears you were. Thank you for expressing our feelings with such grace. It’s because of you that I picked up and came to appreciate the works of Kyoto Animation, and I consider your channel to be an essential part of my experience with these stories. Thank you for your passion and the effect it’s had on me.
Even over a year later, I'm still heartbroken over the news. When I think back to the shocking images of the incident, I feel so lost. It's still so hard to believe that such a thing could happen to an organization such as Kyoto Animation. Nobody deserves to be put into that situation, and if anyone were to be, KyoAni would be the last group of people I would ever expect to have to go through this.
I find myself coming back to your video often. You're very well spoken and almost everything you've said in this video resonates with me and helps me collect my thoughts and feelings. A truly brilliant light in this darkness is just knowing that I am not alone in feeling this way. Of course, it is also very wonderful to see how much KyoAni has recovered now, but nothing could ever replace the beautiful souls lost to the attack. Those working at KyoAni now I'm sure will continue on their legacy just as well, and if not greater for years to come. #KyoAniStrong
Thank you for making this video, it reminds me I'm not the only one who is completely heartbroken.
Clannad changed my life when I watched it four years ago. I learned that resenting your parents is wrong, and I became a much more grateful person. Since then I've never lost the happiness that KyoAni gave me.
Right now it's important that we don't become bitter. Let's donate and pray for those affected. The hatred of this world is no match against the love that we share.
Well said, that's how we honor the victims--by celebrating everything they did for us.
You sir, have said this in the best, and most beautiful way possible. KyoAni has been with me from the beginning with my love for anime. The first shows I've watched from this amazing company, were Key's trio (Air, Kanon, Clannad). From then on, I've watched almost all of their works (except for a few). This is definitely a tragedy for all anime fans, and I'm so happy and proud to be a part of this fandom community, the amount of support that's been flooding in has been truly incredible. I pray that KyoAni will bounce back, and RIP to those who lost their lives, for their legacy will always be remembered
lets just hope that they are with god above..looking down on us...sees us smile at the work that they had made...at the memories we gained...at the joy and happiness that their work has given us..REST IN PEACE..our beloved 34 kyoani animators/staff
Kyoto Animation inspired me and helped me during my dark times molded me into who I am today...they are the ones who inspired me to become an animator today and hoped someday to work along side with them in the future
The way they animate is like no other I've seen before. Their stories have such a calming presence for me and a lot of their animes have really made me reflect and think. It sucks that one of my favorite studios is going through this
im in concert band, and i remember watching hibike! euphonium for the first time bc of my friends, it impacted me greatly. knowing that people who worked on it may be gone breaks my heart, but they're passion and devotion towards art and animation will forever be recognized in their work, i want to remember them as people who poured their hearts and souls into their art. while it will never be the same for me to listen to a euphonium again, especially in person, id like to say thank you kyoani, for helping me become a better person through your art, they will always be an inspiration to me
I don't exactly know why, but this video made me cry even more than any Violet Evergarden episode. I think it is just that powerfully and beautifully written. And because of the emotion that came through to me, through your voice. I completely broke down when you quoted "No letter deserves to go undelivered". Also because that is one of my all time favorite quotes in Anime. Thank you so much for this video. I think you gave me a look at the bright side which we all should look towards. At the amazing legacy, which we all won't forget and which we will fight for to get continued.
And thank you, KyoAni, for everything.
This video really struck home with me. I didn’t expect to cry but I did - a lot. Thanks for reminding me of all that Kyoani has done and how they truly need support right now.
I've already said this on another video but I wanted to share my thoughts.
These masterpieces guided me through the worst few years of my life. They are the only feelings of pure joy and sweet nostalgia I have between those painful and directionless times. They make those really bad times look like periods of realisation, redirection, desire, hope, positivity and love and I hope they'll continue to do so.The fire of Kyoto Animations doesn't feel like a tragedy. It feels like losing an old friend who taught me being myself and gaining the strength to look forward no matter how hard it is. But now this friend is gone and all there is left are the memories. #prayforkyoani
I have not watched all of KyoAni's animations, but of those I've watched they've given me fond memories. I really wished I could've thanked every single animator not only in KyoAni, but those who worked hard to bring us entertainment.
Thank you all.
Dude I came to this video thinking it was an analysis of KyoAni's works, but I ended up crying this is my favorite anime studio. Just wathcing this video make me remember how much I love every single one of KyoAni's works and coulnd't resist to cry. Godd video man.
PD:Sorry if I misspelled something english is not my native lenguage.
I'm currently drowning myself in Kyoto Animation works , i won't stop 'til i watched everything in their library at least 5 times
You know what would be great to do? All us fans should write and send letters of thanks and support to KyoAni, also as tribute to the amazing work Violet Evergarden was. Thanks, KyoAni.
Out of many titles from Kyoani that I watched I didn't completely fell in love with just, like, two of them. First one of those two is kinda less than stellar season two of Chuni - the show that i still very much loved overall, second is Lucky Star. Both are still more than watchable.
The rest glued me to the screen like there is no tomorrow. I didnt watch everything, but still...
I rewatched K-ON the other day and the amount of details that no one EVER going to pick up on the first viewing is insane. Like stage-pass from seemingly insignificant OVA actually staying on the instruments for the whole duration of the show. Like every little change in the clubroom is there for good. Like the character winning a random plushie and said plushie is in her room til the end of the series. Yeah, it's a small "pointless" things, but seeing them after the countless shows that don't do this - those "pointless things" kinda make a huge difference.
And it shows effort.
Lots and lots of effort.
It's in the middle name.
Kyoto "lots of effort" Animation.
Who in their right mind would dislike a tribute to the deaths of Kyoto animation....
Rice Bowl UA-cam’s bots do it.
The arsonist made 92 accounts just to dislike this video
Smartfren Andromax
probably if you look at his idiotic posts.
When you said every letter deserves to be delivered 😭😭😭
Kyoto Animation changed my life in more ways than one. Thank you Kyo-Ani for letting me express genuine feelings more than any other anime studios out there. My emotional & slice-of-life experience with you began on Clannad & I hope It won't end on Violet Evergarden. Don't ever change, no matter how cruel this world may be, please show us what you have taught us these many years. That all forms of love will triumph over hatred.
As one of kyoani’s biggest supporters, I was waiting for your video in this. Hearing you tear up in this video really shows how attached you were with the studio. Please pay the studio react at this time, from the directors to the animators to the secretaries. This wasn’t just a loss of talent, it was a loss of life greater than any public attack japan has ever seen. Rest in peace
Haruhi's existence monologue and how she wasn't content on watching the world turn while she doesn't do anything makes her life exciting inspired me to travel and write/blog and have a podcast.
Thank you, KyoAni.
Fuck, man. Clannad was one of the shows that got me into anime. This studio and its staff genuinely changed my life. I can't believe 34 of them are gone.
Perhaps, the most decent Animation Studio ever. KyoAni, you were and still is:
-Kind and respectful to your own people.
-A great company. One that consistently continues to give us such great animes.
*-My hero.*
We all hope you can recover from this.
There's something that KyoAni has done to me that no other anime has done to me. Is to make me cry. KyoAni puts so much emotion into these anime series they make me literally feel like I'm in the story to, and when the story ends I cry because well it ends, and I want more. Honestly, I wanna thank Kyoto Animations for making such masterpieces that made me cry, laugh, and smile, you truly made me feel like I was part of the story. Thank You Kyoto Animation and Bless those affected by the fire.
There wasn't a part of this video that didn't make the tears roll down my face. What a beautiful message. I owe a lot of who I am to KyoAni and there simply aren't words to justify how saddened I am. And i can't even begin to imagine what the families are going through. I hope they stay strong and are looked after during this tough time.
All of these videos are making me cry even more. KyoAni is really a brilliant studio and i wish the best for them.
I can tell u were crying in ur heart while speaking, as well all of us who were listening.
I know Kyoto Animations will once more stand up and will never stop amusing us.
Kyoto animations thanks for the change u bring in my life.
"no letter deserves to go undelivered, right?"
ah damnit, looks like it's raining again
