Japan’s government will now be classifying all donations to Kyoto Animation as “disaster relief”, rather than business revenue, meaning that they will not be taxed and can even be deducted from the donor’s taxes.
The government’s decision to treat donations relating to criminal damage in the same manner as disaster relief is considered highly unusual; the policy is aimed at encouraging more companies to donate, as they can now classify such donations as tax-deductible charity, essentially making them free (below a certain threshold).
The policy additionally has the effect of reducing the stress of dealing with taxes for the victims’ families, who will still be in the process of grieving. It will also mean that Kyoto Animation can use a larger proportion of the donations for rebuilding efforts.
KyoAni has currently received around ¥2 billion (almost $18.7 million) in donations.
I only care about if the victims family get 100% of the donation money, f♥♥k “kyoani” as a company, if “kyoani” LLC gets any donation money they are stealing from the people who donated! “kyoani” has insurance that will cover all the property damages so they don’t deserve anything…
That’s some shitty insurance allowing them to have a building full of flammables and no fucking sprinklers…
That is very true, Japan tends to let things slide- like their lack of crime prevention & the way their buildings are up to code you would think it was a poor district in the middle east.
they could’ve at least have more fire extinguishers
And emergency exits, a fucking standard for most western countries.
Have you moron even read the original article?
@SexyBeast Get off your high horse motherfucker, yes we read the article, yes you are a special snowflake looking for attention.
How the f♥♥k is stealing if the donators are saying they want to save the company? Are you retarded?
And stop pretending you give a f♥♥k about the survivors. The director already said the money would be first used on medical expenses/ Families > studio.
This is Japan if he doesn’t keeps his word he is screwed.
Please, he’ll just hold a press conference, bow slightly several times, and all will be good.
“kyoani” has already been paid in full they are taking the donation money & triple dipping, why is there no post in writing saying: “100% of the donation proceeds will only go the the families?”. We dont fucking care about “kyoani” the studio let them burn as a company what we care about is the victums, its really easy to understand.
This is the same as “games done quick” donations, where GDC steals 66% of the money for themselves as: Staff & production cost fees .ect
Your hard earned money is not going to the victims & it going is the fat cats wallets
GDQ now thats the real scam not this also, speak for yourself , i do care about kyoani, and priority should be families of the 1’s that died and medical care, the studio itself is also pretty important so yea, nothing wrong with money going towards rebuilding the studio, considering this is prolyl 1 of the best if not the best paying studio for animators, kyoani must not be lost
“We don’t care about Kyoani”
“WE”
Speak for yourself faggot.
Nice try edgy-kun but plenty of people donated saying thar they want more shows from Kyaony.
They literary donated to keep the studio.
“Kyoto Animation President Hatta Considers Demolishing 1st Studio Building, Building Public Park With Monument”
like I said they have already been paid & are now asking for extra donation funds for the C-O-M-P-A-N-Y & not for the victims, their anime catalog is s♥♥t anyways & will not be remembered 10 years from now including K-On…
Funny because K-on is already 10 years old is still remembered. Even before I the fire attack merchandise still made money, aritst still made fanart, and the Toyosato school only exist because fans still visit the place. If anything the tragedy is going to keep the legend alive for many years.
No, they are not asking for donations. The didn’t even asked in the first place. People asked for a place to donate and they opened a banck account for that purpose.
Why are you getting mad because donations keep coming? Is none of your business if they want to give money to the company.
Wait K-On is already 10 Years old?
What about Lucky Star then?
LS is 2007. Haruhi and Clannad are 2006.
Awesome. I can’t wait to see what masterpiece they are going to be able to achieve with all that money.
They’ll make a documentary covering the president’s luxury vacation during the “rebuilding efforts” and “mourning period.”
I mean the only relevant anime they have produced in the last few years has been maid dragon, so hopefully a season 2 of that.
Lol no. Maid Dragon was easily forgotten. Koe no Katachi was a bigger success even if it was a mediocre adaptation.
Hibike/Liz is amazing and aired between 2015 and 2019.
Wasn’t Evergarden more popular than Dragon maid. As far I remember in the Japanese polls Dragon Maid was eclipsed by Konksuba.

What’s a maid dragon? Oh right, a forgettable show from yesteryear.
Sucks to be living under a rock huh?
Yeah. Low-budgets is one of the main things preventing great anime. KyoAni actually managed to do pretty well with fairly tight budgets, so if they actually have a good amount of money for once it could result in some real cool stuff.
What happened was unnecessary and I don’t have a problem with people donating. I’d rather people threw their money away donating to KyoAni than to some ugly camwhore selling her bath water to losers.
But isn’t there a point when asking for donations just becomes greed? I mean how much do you need to “Rebuild”? With the exception of Maid Dragon they didn’t really produce anything all that great and amazing. It’s not like they were storing the archive of Sailor Moon or anything like that.
1. That’s Japan and their entire otaku supporting Kyoani. I even have no idea that much money…. why not for kids in the hospital? Like cancer maybe? Thats also my question and the answer.
2. You are totally wrong. They have many great anime. Even the newer one that Evergarden, is beautiful enough. What else? Remember that old K-on?? That one is a legend.
People here often forget that K-on was very popular with both normal people and otaku. I remember that the otaku got triggered when they saw couples and students watching the K-on movie.
Some even started to say that only fake otakus liked K-on. Because it became mainstream. Well at least in Japan.
Dude i grow up watching KyoAni’s anime on Animax, watched K-On!, K-On!!, Haruhi and some other anime, forget all the westener ‘otakus’ (quoted because i keep seeing douchebags that only RIPs anime and hates the studio that creates the shows)
Didn’t donate but still send prayers to the ones in hospital and the ones that have passed.
Probably the douches here ‘waifufy’ the psychopath that badly injure her crush a few months ago, total retards to categorize an irl psychopath as waifu
Haruhi is actually one of the most important anime of all time.
How?
haruhi started the entire wave of moe bullshit schoolgirl shows about nothing. it’s a very important series in that it killed anime for like 10 years. that said, i gave money to kyoani anyway even though i hate all their shows.
“With the exception of Maid Dragon they didn’t really produce anything all that great and amazing”
Get out
You do realize they never asked for donations?
Sentai Filmworks is the one that started the donations on the west. And it was the Japs the ones that asked for a way to donate and it was not until many days passed that the president said ok. So is not greed.
This is simply the first time since WW2 that so many people got killed. Even the terrorist attack from 1995 killed only 11 people.
Nice gesture, but does classifying the arson/killings in the same category as earthquakes, typhoons, etc. mean the murderer is now some sort of evil god?
Haruhi and Lucky Star completely changed the industry…
>Haruhi and Lucky Star completely changed the industry…
In what direction, though?
Now everything is a japanese seinfeld about nothing.
No you retard. We are literally in the isekai thrend, just like years ago almost everything was about mecha.
“there is no isekai trend in the anime industry”
lmao. I’m glad that Chen has a username so everyone can see the absolute dumb s♥♥t this chinese retard posts in every update. f♥♥k off back to your parent’s nail salon and stop writing anything.
How many isekais this year? How many moeblobs? Don’t be retarded, there is no isekai trend in the anime industry.
But there’s also no point in being polite for refusing donations.
The ones that started donation drives were Sentai followed by Animate giving people the outlet to donate if they WISH to.
Kyoani didn’t start the donation drive it was only after the president knew of the tremendous amount of support pouring in from people that cares, the company opened a new account for the donation funds to be directed to for people that were asking for a direct transfer as they were not certain whether would the gofundme funds would ever reach them.
Not all the money goes to the studio, some of it goes to the victims.
Uh…I thought donations are a charity, period? Hence, “charitable donations”. Since when was a “donation” a business revenue? …except for s♥♥t like you know, political party donations. At any rate…good. A bigger pool for the Kyoani survivors and their families.
Mmmm yes, more tax breaks for corporations, let the commoner peasants shoulder the brunt of the taxes!
f♥♥k tax breaks and the corrupt politicians who make them; if these companies and the fat cats running them actually cared they wouldn’t need tax breaks to incentivize such charity, they’d just do it. Greedy fucking silver spoon bastards, the world continues to get worse while their wealth only becomes more extravagant.
