RIP Leiji Matsumoto

Post by Captain_EO »

We lost an absolute legend in animation. Not just in Japanese animation, but worldwide - He passed away on the 13th, but it was only announced today.

May he rest in peace.

Thanks for posting this news - I've been so busy with moving, I totally spaced on posting it here!

I'm actually setting up doing a memorial live-stream later this month, so if anyone wants to participate, here's the details: https://animenostalgia.blogspot.com/202 ... leiji.html
