I just want people to understand the scale of the Kyoto Animation arson attack. This is now a mass casualty event with over 30 confirmed dead. It is Japan’s most deadly mass murder in nearly twenty years.

Whether an anime fan or not, please #PrayForKyoAni#KyoAni @Kyoani pic.twitter.com/rhEqU4n6Iv

Kyoto Animation made some of my favorite anime of all time. They did not deserve this. Nobody deserves this. My condolences to the employees and the families of those involved. #PrayForKyoani pic.twitter.com/mmvwWYl9Lq
