/a/ - Anime and Manga

From what I heard the culprit was a "trainwatcher," an obscure hobby for people who have nothing better to do than look at trains go by. He was upset that his favorite spot's scenery was ruined by the studio.

I have heard a rumor like this as well, but the one i heard said he was angry at how the studio depicted a train in an anime that drove him into a murderous rage.

Not a fan of Marxism either, but I have a sneaking suspicion that if he were an adherent to your ideology, you wouldn't be saying that.
Besides that, he's human whether you like it or not. There's no special rights or higher meaning to something so material as "humanity", that is liberal and Marxist-tier.

Why is this bolded? And they sort of have already, but KyoAni is a bit overrated. They're only a product of the times, unfortunately. Talented, but without the "soul".
