Kyoto Animation is an anime studio. For example, people know it for its series like ‘Full Metal Panic!’ and ‘K-On!’.

The studio has a building in Kyoto, Japan. There are about 70 people in the building. A man comes to this building. He sets it on fire. People say that he screams ‘die’ when he sets the fire. In the end, police arrest him.

The building gets on fire. Thirty-three or more people die. Many more people are injured.

Difficult words: anime studio (a business which makes anime – a style of Japanese animation), series (a TV programme), scream (say very loudly).
