Animate is a large retailer of anime, manga, and video games with well over a hundred stores in Japan. A woman has been arrested for allegedly sending threatening emails, including one in which ākillā (ę®ŗć or korosu) was apparently written 3,852 times.
Over a several week span in August, she allegedly sent threatening emails that read things like, āInstead of Kyoto Animation, it wouldāve been better if you all had been massacredā and āGet ready to die at any moment.ā
According to Yomiuri Shimbun, the 34-year-old woman reportedly canceled purchases in Animateās online shop, and in September 2018, she was suspended from the site.
This is just one of several cases this year in which threats mentioned the Kyoto Animation tragedy.
