Kyoto Animation

Add on:Kyoto Animation releases trailer for "Violet Evergarden-Eternity and Auto Memory Dolls," a side-story theatrical feature companion piece to the "Violet Evergarden TV series." The work goes on.

Kyoto Animation, still recovering from a devastating attack that killed three dozen employees at its Tokyo studio, announces (an inevitable?) cancellation ...

"Following the arson attack on Kyoto Animation that occurred on July 18, we have received words of encouragement from many people .... We have been receiving submissions from many entrants [for Kyoto Animation Awards] every day, and our judges were excited about the prospect of finding a novel that can be part of a new age of creative output. However, our entire staff is currently engaged in recovery efforts following the arson attack. And so we have decided to suspend the 11th Kyoto Animation Awards.” ...

It's about prioritizing. Award ceremonies pale into insignificance when you're working to heal a devastated community and comfort the survivors.
