Kyoto Animation Arson Incident

This is non-foot related news but this is important, if you haven't heard the tragic incident at Kyoto Animation last Thursday morning at Studio 1 well, it was burned down completely by an criminal named Shinji Aoba, he claimed that Kyoto Animation was ripping off his novels but no work of no record of anyone submitting work to their annual writing contest under his name, another reason was that he wanted revenge for that but no reason was announced. The explosion itself killed 34 people, injured one person, and destroyed all materials and computers in Studio 1 which causes several current of their works getting delayed or cancelled. If you want to help out, please go to this link to donate. Also the reason why I'm telling you this is because I had been working on posts for A Silent Voice which was produced by Kyoani, and several girls from Sound! Euphonium.

    4. Just that he was supposedly there, and he's been missing since that day. His father can't locate him either. Things are looking a little Bleak right now, but anything can happen at this point.
