Previous post was removed because I forgot to flair it. Sorry about that.
The article is in Japanese and you can't read the entire thing without a subscription. But, the basic gist of it is that the Mainichi interviewed Ishida's parents who confirmed that she died in the KyoAni fire. Her mother, 78, is quoted as saying "I can't begin to imagine how terrible it must've been for my daughter in those flames. I cry every time just thinking about it."
My feelings exactly. It's hard catching up to this thread every time it jumped to 1st page, way harder than I thought it would be when the news break just being reminded of the people who worked on something so dear and familiar to me.Both looking forward and dreading the release of names. Though in the end it'll be one step closer in bringing closure to this tragedy.
Basic gist: A lawyer from KyoAni confirmed they are working with Sentai to transfer the donation money gathered from that GoFundMe to Japan. Believe there's a few tax things they have to work through.
Since posting the bank account info yesterday KyoAni has gotten almost 14,000 donations totaling over 274 million JPY (over 2.5 million USD):

I think that tweet's point is it's unlikely that the family's decision to go public was purely voluntary to begin with, considering how insistent the JP press are in harassing families for confirmations.I tried looking up their recent articles and only saw the Naomi Ishida post, as her family has stated it publically. Others have already as well. I don't see any other names listed or anything.
They didn't state anything in public. Do they think a grieving family just goes up in the open in public and grabs a mic to declare the death of their loved on in the fire? It was reported to the public by NHK, quoting the family members. Do you think the family went to NHK because they really want more attention on themselves, or do you think NHK started identifying potential casualties and tracking down family members to interview? And is that something you think we should support and encourage? That's what this is about.I tried looking up their recent articles and only saw the Naomi Ishida post, as her family has stated it publically. Others have already as well.

I think it's a possibility but it's not something that I am going to outright assume that it was what happened. It's entirely possible that they did want to make it known. People do grieve and deal with these things in different ways. I am not denying that it may have been forced out by pushy newspapers, but it isn't the only possibility.
Takemoto's father told The Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper Monday that he called his son's cellphone after hearing news of the attack but couldn't reach him, and was later asked by police to help with a DNA test to identify the victims.
"I've cried and cried. I'm exhausted from crying," Takemoto's father told the paper.
The cat is sort of out of the bag there; if ANN didn't report on it, someone else would. It's not like ANN was personally banging on the doors of people's houses asking if their loved ones died in the fire.JP twitter has been posting countless examples of mass media being shitty by harassing families for interviews and (I think?) even demanding names from funeral homes despite kyoani specifically saying not to release names. they don't get the benefit of the doubt here
Just saw on reddit that Takemoto has been confirmed as passed away. Not sure if the news are accurate though, so maybe someone could double check
Anyway a huge loss :/ RIP

This is the official gofundme by Sentai Filmworks:I would appreciate if anyone can provide a list of websites (I hope mods don't mind that) are legal so I can donate to them in order to avoid scammers. Thanks.

I think the best route is actually through rightstufThis is the official gofundme by Sentai Filmworks:
They're already in touch with KyoAni reps/lawyers and getting the money transferred.
Aside from buying from the KyoAni store this is like the best route.

They are taking the donations through their site and then will do a wire transfer at the end of august covering all of the fees meaning 100% of your money will get to the people who need it.
