Kyoto Animation marks 5 years since fatal arson attack

Smoke inhalation didn't kill all of these people. Quite a few burned to death, just about the most horrible way to die. They produced some of the great anime and were a force in the field. The loss of talent was huge. This was one of the worst acts of murder ever.

If found guilty beyond any doubt, I would not oppose the death sentence.

What a terrible crime.

Aoba, 46, who was sentenced to death in January at the Kyoto District Court for the attack, has since appealed the ruling at the Osaka High Court.
