Mourner remembers friend lost in Japan arson attack

Many have been in tears, a tribute both to the global fame of the company and the youth of most of the victims.

“For an animation company they treat their staff well,” said Hagino, who said former colleagues had probably still worked for the firm. An online fundraising drive called “Help KyoAni Heal” – referring to the company’s nickname – conducted by US firm Sentai Filmworks had raised US$1.81 million as of Sunday noon, reflecting the wide global esteem in which its work is held.

Some of the mourners questioned the company’s security. The building was usually accessible only through a card system, but Japanese media quoted company president Hideaki Hatta as saying that was deactivated on Thursday due to the presence of visitors from outside the firm.“She was a gentle person. We’d have a meal as a family, maybe once or twice a year,” he said. “She lived alone. I heard her sister was clearing out her apartment yesterday.
