The criminal seems to have been a convenience store robbery in Ibaraki prefecture in the past.
Arsonists seem to have been in a private rehabilitation facility, but there is currently no information disclosure from the facility. (Including inquiry about the presence or absence of moving in)
In Japan, after arresting a criminal, it is often the case that the names of some "foreign offenders" are not disclosed.
As this is a serious case, it will be a big problem if the name is made public. (If there is a family of criminals)

However, on the day, the security measures were off-line in order to hold a meeting with a television station.(NHK?)

Did the firebug go when someone leaked the company schedule and there were a lot of people?

(Most content (translation is doubtful)
The apartment in the city of Saitama, which appears to be the home of a man who had an arson, gathered a lot of press on the night of the 18th. A man living in the next room got in trouble with a man on the 14th, grabbed his chest and said, "I'll kill you. I can't afford this," he said.
Anyway, the sound of the room which is not the neighbor made the arsonist fierce and threatened the neighbor. It lasted for 10 minutes.The police have also come.
The room is 1K and the rent is about 40,000 yen. A man has lived for about four years. It looks like a nerd, with a figure about 180 cm tall and wearing glasses for sport cutting. He did not appear to be working, and had a stubble stinging body odor. Residents said, "There was a noise from the room until the night of the 17th."

The president of Kyoto Animation is broadcasting live according to the interview.

The studio at the scene of the incident seemed to open the door at around 9 am because there were too many visitors.
On the day, there were no more people than usual.
The president does not think that information in the company has leaked.
Now, the content that was flowing for a moment was such a story. (I think that the company was talking about what kind of feelings it had for anime, etc.)

Therefore, for those who know the case, there is a situation where it is easy to believe that it is true.
There are countries where coverage is biased and history education is biased. (In some part of the world)
Korea arsoned and blasted Japanese shrines and temples.
Korea steals Japanese Buddha statues and has not returned them.
It is something I do not want to talk about such political and religious issues.
Of course, ordinary people will "return what they have stolen".
Of course, ordinary people understand that "some people did what".
Coincidentally, there was a villain who made extreme and outrageous acts.
Right?
I want you to be true.
But it stands out. The timing will be bad.
At the very least, general humanity would "do not do what others dislike."
The same is true for people who come here.
The participants here do not want to hear the political story. (Perhaps)
It responds somewhat to what is heard, but I think it is not interesting.
I want people from all countries to have a pleasant day.
Among them, the tragedy of the animation studio that everyone in the world loves is really disappointing.
It may also be a common topic to meet as a very good ordinary neighbor.(Anime)

The number of deaths in Kyoto Ani Studio arson and murder is the worst after the war
According to the National Police Agency, the arson case of Kyoto Animation, which resulted in 34 deaths, became the worst after Heisei as the number of deaths in murder cases. It seems that there are the largest number of dead people after the war.
The murder case where many lives are taken continues one after another in Heisei, and in July 2016, the man of the former staff (a murder crime) in the intellectual disability welfare institution "Tsukui mountain lily garden" in Sagamihara City, Kanagawa Prefecture Prosecuted) and others, and killed 19 residents with a kitchen knife.
In the subway Sarin case in March 1995, 13 people were killed and more than 6,000 were injured. In the case of Osaka Education University Ikeda Elementary School in June 2001, eight children in the first and second grade were stabbed by a man and killed.
Before the war, there is the "Tsuyama case" in which a 22-year-old man killed 30 villagers with guns and Axe in May 1938 in the former Nishikamo village of Tsuyama City, Okayama Prefecture.

The most recent update from NHK states that of the total 70 who were in the building, 33 are dead--12 men, 20 women and one of unknown sex-- and 36 with severe to minor injuries (many severe), and receiving treatment. All persons are accounted for and rescue/recovery efforts have halted.
From what I gather the arsonist bought 40l of gasoline and poured it everywhere he could, including on people, and then proceed to block the exit stairway by wielding kitchen knifes. This is the one of the very worst mass murders/attacks in modern Japan's history.
If anyone loves this studio's creations as much as I do (A Silent Voice, Clannad, Hyouka, Haruhi, K-On, Lucky Star, Nichijou... To name just a few of their works--KyoAni is easily one of the most well-respected and cherished animation studios in all of Japan) and wishes to show their support, there's a GoFundMe started by their official/long-time NA licensor (so trustworthy) that's so far raised over $600k - https://www.gofundme.com/help-kyoani-heal

The studio have said this on their website in regards to all the donations they've gotten and are getting (it's a machine translation so some parts may be iffy):
"We would like to use the support funds for the deceased employees and their families and relatives, employees who are recuperating and their families and relatives, and for the reconstruction of the company. With regard to the support funds received, we will report the income and expenditure in a transparent manner. The method and timing of income and expenditure reporting are under consideration. We will let you know as soon as we decide. The details of the fund-raising activities conducted to support our company will be posted on our website as soon as they are confirmed."

And the studio's lawyer has stated that they're working with Sentai Filmworks on transfering the money their GoFundMe has raised.

So I don't think you have anything to worry about here thank God. :) And besides all that, studio KyoAni have a long history of just being an excellent, well run, example-setting company (small part of the reason why this is just so tragic). Out of all the animation studios in Japan, they are known to be just about the only ones to actually pay and treat all their staff properly. And the difference really is huge. You can trust them to do right by the victims.

I disagree. Regardless of what they have or have not achieved it's always tragic when a person dies. Putting more stock on someone's death because they've done something you hold dear is selfish and just disgusting. People caring more about not getting more anime from them is just gross.

And I disagree with you. No-one is saying any death isn't tragic and exLightning certainly isn't saying it's because they want more anime. Even if you don't know someone personally there can still be a shared connection that makes you feel closer to them.
