Director Tatsuo Sato (Nekojiru-sou, Helck) passed away on April 24, 2026, due to liver failure while undergoing treatment for some time. He was 61 years old.
>>287945550>Nekojiru-sou, Helck)No mention of Kidou Senkan Nadesico, the thing that he's most known for?
Don't drink booze, it's poison.
>>287945746>mysterious antagonist dude makes it very clear early on he hates anime and looks down on the rest of the cast for being anime nerds>later plot twist revealed he's a holier than thou anime snob/"ironic weeb" that was just hiding his power level because he hates anime fansalways got me
>>287945550The three or so fans of Stellvia still hoping for a revival just lost remains of their hopes.I know because I'm one of them...https://youtu.be/m3TjQYqjAYs
>>287945746https://youtu.be/Atk5urcl2Yg?si=SSbPRxIg2wEPGqhMLoved Nadesico but what the FUCK was he thinking with that movie
>>28794555061 years old, just a fucking kid.
>>287945550Vax status????
Shingu was so cool. They don't make em like that anymore.
Who?

>>287945550moretsu~ big rip
>>287946162Hope for season 2 is lost forever....
>>287946045Amazing. How the fuck did people die before? Obviously they should have lived forever.
>>287945550rip. cat soup is great
RIP. >>287945746Definitely should have included Nadesico in the OP. It's what he's most recognized for
>/m/ doesn't have a thread up Embarrassing
>>287945550This guy was a very promising anime director through 2000s and 2010. Seems like he had personal problems through work and other issues ahead. RIP ;_;
>>287945912It wasn't supposed to be a movie. The second series had already been started when Sega had its economic collapse. Sega money stopped and the rest of the production committee cobbled the movie together from animation completed from the first six episodes. It was such a shame. People were stealing the movie posters with the teenage Ruri. And then when the product actually delivered, and left more questions than answers. It sort of unraveled.
>liver failureWhat's the count on his after-work company meeting at an izakaya?
>>287947724>>287945912There's also that dreamcast or saturn game (forgot which) that bridges the gap a bit but nobody even played and it never got released in English.Ruri is still really popular and recently even got a new figure, it's surprising that there was never any real attempt to properly finish the series. Nadesico is one of my favorite anime and I was so butthurt about the movie after I watched it, I was angry for like 6 months.
>>287945550R.I.P.
>>287945550How do you die from liver failure that thing has namekian regen
>>287948237Either booze or extremely bad luck. My father died recently after like twenty years of heavy alcoholism and the worst diet and lifestyle known to man. I’m still baffled how he managed to live that long.
>>287948319How much did he drink and what did he eat?
I just watched Shigofumi for the first time last year. Really great episodic show.
>>287948237Lots of shit can fuck up your liver. My mom's been living with near liver failure because of some shitty meds she used to take.
>>287945550>Nekojiru-sou, Helck
F
>>287945550Damn, RIP.
RIP in pepperoni
>>287945550Sorry but it's morbidly hilarious that the news came right after an anon tried to punch himself in a liver in a Kengan thread
>>287945977Please kill yourself.
>>287945550He was the only person in the world fighting to continue Nadesico.
>>287945859Space is a sea of konpeito.
>>287947724Is there a source that Prince of Darkness was to be a TV series? That's news to me.
If you haven't seen Stellvia for some reason, it's one of the classic lewd Xebec shows with Ai Nonaka on maximum setting.
>>2879459773
>>287945550Rip
>>287948953Very sad really, Nadesico deserved an anime sequel no matter what and probably those type of directors who ain't afraid of anime original. I forgot he did Rinne No Lagrange and Helck(shitty isekai). We're losing great directors and no one to keeping the flame alive.
>>287949200>Helck(shitty isekai).It's not an isekai, it's fantasy. Both the original and the anime are good if you can go past the sudden mood change that happens after the first few eps.
>>287949274>It's not an isekai, it's fantasySorry, my mistake.
>>287948921He gets to live whereas I, for making a joke on the absurdity, get the report. Poe's law should not be a carte blanche for being an idiot.
