I'm a bit late on this,
Japan has experienced possibly the worst mass-murder since WWII. Some middle-aged man stormed the Kyoani animation studio screaming "you die" poured gasoline everywhere, and set the building on fire, effectively wiping out 1/3 of the company's staff and killing half of those in the building.
Apparently he thought they had plagiarized his work (wow, mass killing will solve this and not litigation)
A bunch of talented individuals who brought so much joy to the world are now dead.
What I found shocking about this more than other mass killings was:
1. It's Japan
2. Who the f*ck decides to mass-murder animators? Most are terribly paid and overworked for an awesome cultural export (what is worse is that Kyoani was one of the few that actually treated their employees well).
Fortunately in Japan this guy will be hanged, though I wouldn't mind if he rotted away in a cell for a couple of years.
Also why does Japan have this issue of middle-aged men going on killing sprees?
