Yana Toboso has drawn a parody of the anime Free! (one of KyoAni's works) for the New Year seiyuu event back in 2015. Our Sensei has also tweeted about this: https://twitter.com/toboso_official/status/1151882139132022786/
The gofundme fundraising was created by Sentai Film Works and many international fans have shown tremendous support in this catastrophic time.
Kyoani studio is a company that's also known as being one of the best companies in Japan in terms of paying animators regular salary instead of the more common pay per frame model, that has been known to put so much pressure onto animation workers.
One of KyoAni's works I loved the most was "Free!" and it was just devastating to hear this news.
Please help by buying their digital goods, donating, or at least please help spread the word.
