The man who set fire to Kyoto Animation's 1st Studio has been officially charged with murder (and attempted murder and arson). While this is not going to bring back the dead, I hope it helps the families and injured to find some form of closure, if that is even possible.
Below is one of the news reports on this:
I mentioned this when I first watched Violet Evergarden the Movie. Director Yasuhiro Takemoto was one of the names listed in the credits of the movie as a supporting staff. I think many of the 36 who died in the fire were also involved in the movie's production in one way or another, since KyoAni is not a very big production studio. Let me see if I can spot any of their names tonight.
(Note: I originally listed the names at the end of this post, but it did not seem fitting so I move them to a separate post.)
