A stand has also been set up a 100 meters away from the studio to receive the flowers, with people lining up to pay their respects.

According to Asahi, Kyoto Animation CEO Hideaki Hatta said, “I think the people who live around here don’t want to see this building.” Hatta added that he wanted the studio to be torn down. “The thinking being that, if possible, I’d like to make a park with a monument.”
