Another one of the great anime directors I was afraid to see go anytime soon. So very sad.

[Anime Girl]

I've heard of him! Poor thing! May his soul rest in peace.

[Gotta Love ASTRO BOY]

Oh no. May we all pray he is in a better place now.

I mostly remember his name from the anime Nobody's Boy: Remi. I had no idea he directed many of the episodes from the 1963 and 1980 Astro Boy anime. He was also one of the episode directors for Jetter Mars as well.

Huge loss to the world of Astro Boy and the anime industry. May he rest in peace.
