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.

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.

Hokkaido Earthquake Tragedy

A quick sad post here: a 6.7 magnitude earthquake struck the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido early Thursday morning, the quake hit around 3 a.m. local time, southeast of Sapporo, at a depth of about 45 miles, killing around nine people, more than 350 people were injured and 30 others remained missing according to the Associated Press report. The earthquake triggered a blackout, cutting off power for 5.3 million people. Officials said it would take a week before power is fully restored, as they contended with damage from the quake. I'm showing you this because of some anime I know took place there like Saikano, Erased, Beautiful Bones, and Noein. I pray for those who lost their lives in that region and the ones who are struggling to survive without food, water, and power. I found this news from this article.
