36 victims of 2019 Kyoto Animation arson attack remembered
Kyoto Animation Co. held a memorial service on Sunday for the 36 victims of an arson attack two years ago on one of its studios, one of Japan's worst mass murders.
The company, better known as "KyoAni" at home and abroad, asked fans to refrain from coming to the former site of the studio in Kyoto for fear of the novel coronavirus spreading and posted messages from the company and bereaved families on YouTube instead.
