>>190877144>Fucking wrong. Reference materials, Sakugas and past and present cells and animations went up in flames.They literally said most present stuff was stored elsewhere and the upcoming movies and series aren't even delayed. Past stuff has only archival/sentimental value. Reference materials, I'll give you that. Still not that big of a problem.
>Especially since they did everything in house and had their own style that they had senior animators teach to younger animators.And not everybody died, obviously. If someone working there for say 1 year died, they simply have to spend one more year teaching another one.
People are overreacting for drama at this point.
>>190877223That makes positively zero sense. You would have a hard time replacing an animator with 30 years of real job experience, not a young one with 1 or 2. As an example, the probably deceased Toyota Moe has stuff on Instagram that isn't even correctly proportioned. If you think that level of talent is irreplaceable, you are simply underestimating how many talented japanese animators are out there, starving.
