Disgruntled 34-year-old woman says she wished the staff had died and Kyoto Animation workers lived.
As Japan’s largest specialty retailer for anime merchandise, the Animate chain is loved by many otaku.
One said “Instead of the people from Kyoto Animation, all of you should have been killed,” referencing the July arson attack on the anime studio that resulted in 36 deaths.
In the wake of the Kyoto Animation tragedy, authorities in Japan have been taking threats against anime-related targets especially seriously, and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police launched an investigation into the matter.
“I was angry because I didn’t agree with how [Animate] had handled the situation,” Choi said, while admitting to the charges.
