Kyodo News says one person "feared dead". If there is a fatality, I hope it's the arsonist.

Kyoto Police: 'Multiple Deaths' Confirmed in Kyoto Animation Fire
Kyoto Prefectural Police confirmed with NHK News on Thursday that it has confirmed "multiple deaths" during the fire due to alleged arson that broke out...
Sadly the bastard is probably still alive if the police have a suspect admitting to starting the fire.

Unlikely. More possible it was an animator that died. The arsonist (or at least someone who claimed to doing it) at last check was arrested.

Someone set KyoAni on fire.
Fire Breaks Out in Kyoto Animation's 1st Studio Building (Update)
Prefectural police arrest man who allegedly used "gasoline-like liquid" to start fire; 30 people injured
Placing my bets on angry yaoi/yuri fan(s) or someone has held a very strong grudge over Nichijou not getting a second season.

They're saying the guy's in his 40s, so while it could have been a disgruntled otaku with a hard on for lolis (or one with a strong hatred for the studio), it easily could have been a pissed-off former employee, over the hill street punk looking to cause trouble, or terrorist.
I'm just worried about the families that have to deal with the fact their loved ones are either dead or unable to work for a while.

What the actual fuck.
I can't believe someone would really do this.

At least 33 dead. He was not an ex-employee.

The fact that it seems to be just some random crazy kinda makes it worse.

Awful. I'll bet it's a "you stole my donut steal."

It would be interesting if this was done by some wash-up from within the anime/manga/light novel industry.
But I'm afraid it's likely going to be some crazed otaku nobody. And then the prejudice against otaku that started with Tsutomu Miyazaki will get worse again.

I only have the ancient Bandai Entertainment DVDs of Cowboy Bebop and don't feel the need to buy it again but here's a DVD to Blu-Ray comparison.
I think there's a slight bump up in overall visual quality on Blu-Ray (keeping in mind I'm only watching a Youtube video on a laptop), though some of the colours actually look better on the DVD. The Blu-Rays feature commentary on select episodes from director Shinichiro Watanabe and some other crew members if that's important to you.
