Hi.Not sure if this constitutes lost media, so posted it here.
As most of you might have already known, there was an unfortunate arson attack in Tokyo on Kyoto Animations's studio 1. 33 lives lost, 36 injured to various degrees.
But since this is the lost media wiki, what I think most of us might want to focus on the potentially invaluable assets that could have been lost in the arson.
Studio one, as far as I know, contained the studios main datacenter. The CEO was also interviewed, where he acknowledged that drawings and materials on the shows they did were lost. Source:
What also is potentially lost could be the animation works that were in progress at the time of the arson. Not an anime follower thus not familiar with their work, but this could potentially include the second season of Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid.
So what do you say? Does this constituent a matter of interest to the lost media community? Thanks.
That said, it is possible that the studio might have some backup copies of the work they did. But given how surprisingly Japan can be technologically backwards (e.g fax machines and disc storage is still very mainstream there) I doubt that much content was saved. Best case could constitute as partially lost media?
"The company took a big personnel loss, but past materials have all been "completely ruined" by the fire. Company president Hatta also also stated that "All the computers are also completely destroyed", and "The monetary damages? Massive. I couldn't even tell you". Details on whether there will be a joint funeral service has yet to be determined."

I feel like we typically cover things that can actually be found, but if it's important enough to you, then make an article about it.
But right now we have no clue as what as actually lost (the boss said that a lot of materials and data were lost, but did not specify which shows. So I don't think an article is needed yet... Or how do you think it should be structured?

Uhh Actually Mercorp is right, but there is one however, a new Free movie trailer was going to be announced in 2020 in spite of confirmation, not the mention though it was cancelled, but for the movie even when we all know that it isn't official until its annunciation from them, It's not considered as lost anyway, not because all of the scripts and drawings was burned to a crisp, became a vaporware product, unbeknownst to the fans whatever nor the official scenes has been lost, but because the development's condition was still stable at the time before it was about to meet the detailing announcement schedule even though the damage has been done for that building and the work itself and thus they're currently working on it to fix these scars still, making this movie's condition as fine than the (no-pun intended) "loss" of love ones and so on, albeit we don't know for sure if some of them are lost in the wake of the arson attack, but they did said the publicity event was cancelled and not the movie at all, but in my case it does had anything to do with the fire burning all of its work causing them to rework it again from scratch and I would think that one of these work are considered as either "existence unconfirmed" or either actually or partially "lost" behind the scenes if of when another scene was indeed made for the new Free Movie by them prior to the future release, regardless writing an article about it is pretty much unnecessary to be honest, and that's just one thing I know about it, half from research and theory, hope I'm wrong and debunked from your thoughts since this is a discussion anyway, I instead be humble and respect it.
