Tomoya Okazaki is a third year high school student resentful of his life. His mother passed away from a car accident when he was younger, causing his father to resort to alcohol and cigarettes. This results in fights between the two until Tomoya's shoulder is injured in a fight. Since then, Tomoya has had distant relationships with his father, causing him to become a delinquent over time. While on a walk to school, he meets a strange girl named Nagisa Furukawa who is a year older, but is repeating due to illness. Due to this, she is often alone as most of her friends have moved on. The two begin hanging out and slowly, as time goes by, Tomoya finds his life shifting in a new direction.

If you can relate to the joy in the article, I'd highly recommend watching the Clannad and Clannad After Story animes: https://myanimelist.net/anime/2167/Clannad https://myanimelist.net/anime/4181/Clannad__After_Story
I haven't watched Hibike, but to my understanding the tv series has a lot of implied homosexuality while the movie is straightforward heterosexual romance. I also disagree that the shows that got them famous are the ones with homosexuality. They were already plenty famous after Clannad and Haruhi, and Koe no Katachi is at least as high-profile as Free or Maid Dragon. Let's agree to disagree on this one.
I don't think that's accurate to say, really. There's definitely some shows with gay undertones, but the vast majority of their post-2010 catalogue has either no romance or heterosexual romance (Hyouka, Chuunibyou, Tamako Market, Amaburi, Koe no Katachi, the Hibike film, Kyoukai no Kanata, VEG, and so on). Slice-of-life is pretty accurate, though. I don't think it's fair to say that they've changed drastically, either. VEG and their Key adaptations such as Clannad are really not so different in spirit, nor is something like Kobayashi's Dragon Maid really all that different from Lucky Star (which was SoL with heavy gay undertones all the way back in 2007).
This is really sad. KyoAni (Kyoto Animation) is, as said in other thread, one of the current best animation studios in the world. I grow up watching their animes and thinking how they're amazing compared to the majority of japanese studios.
Some animes bought by them:
- Full Metal Panic (many laughs, amazing characters and great animation)
- Air (this is the first time that I did cry in a series of any kind)
- Kanon (really good adaptation of this great Visual Novel)
- Clannad (a really emotional series for me, even if the Visual Novel is better the anime still does a great service for this series)
- Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu (this is the anime that made me fan of them, a unique approach of slice of life and overpowered beings that was great in its time)
- Lucky Star (funny otakus done right)
- K-On! (a good anime showing cute girls doing cute things)
- Hyouka ("Sherlock Holmes goes to a japanese high school")
- Nichijou (funny nonsense done right)
- Sound Euphonium (I still remember that amazing scene at episode 11)
- Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid (a great surprise, this seems like a goof series on its premise however it is so heartwarming)
- Violet Evergarden (this is available in Netflix and I recommend simply because the animation is amazing and the story is really emotional)
I don't really care about the reasons of the suspect, there are better ways to claim copyright infringement, and even if it didn't, there is no reason to take human lives.
