Yo, otaku, my waifu tells me this guy is an OG so I thought y'all would like the heads up, RIP,
Leiji Matsumoto, legendary manga creator, dies aged 85
Sorry for your loss, sincerely. All the best.
"Zack Davisson, a Californian writer who has translated much of Matsumoto's work, said on Twitter that the world has lost an "absolute giant".
He added that Matsumoto's depiction of emotionally vulnerable boys and young men showed it was ok to have feelings: "Star Blazers and Galaxy Express was a gut-punch. People... died. People... cried. People... fell in love."
"There was an immense sadness in his works, a grandeur nowhere else seen. All wrapped in powerful visuals that were equally mythological and futuristic," Mr Davisson said."
Edit: in the event of crossover, see my RIP Billy Two Rivers thread in the pro wrestling sub forum. Too much of this shit lately though so I'm calling for a moratorium. I don't even follow these pastimes but I keep encountering these obits for other reasons. Please stop dying for awhile, people--it's getting to me a little. That would be very nice, thank you in advance.
