It has been seven years since the arson
attack on Kyoto Animation (KyoAni) 1st Studio, which resulted in 36
fatalities and 32 injured.
A monument in memory of the victims was unveiled in 2024 at the Historical Park of Tea and Uji Town
(お茶と宇治のまち歴史公園) in Uji City (Kyoto Prefecture) where Kyoto Animation is
based. In view of this, like last year, there will not be any online streaming of a
video in memory of the victims this year.

Fans can visit the monument
at the park anytime, but are asked not to leave any flowers or other
such tokens. For fans of Hibike! Euphonium, the park is actually near
Kumiko's bench. It is further up the river, on the opposite bank.
Around 10:30 a.m. today, a memorial service was held at the site of the
former 1st Studio. This year, around 140 persons attended the event, including
employees and
affiliates of Kyoto Animation as well as families of the victims. Kyoto
Animation's CEO Hatta Shinichiro said that the company will not only pass on what happened in the incident, but also treasure and carry forward the works, thoughts and commitment to creation left behind by those who lost their lives.
