I hope he somehow makes it.
You faggots bullied him and caused this.
>focus on palliative care, wishing to conserve his strength and devote himself to his creative workdamn
>>291716959This is like a plot he'd write
Very honorabu yamato damashi sugoi
>>291716922It's fucking over
>literal gacha cancerBravo Nolan
My mother died of the same type of cancer, it's a fucking rough way to go. You gradually stop being able to swallow, speak, and then breathe unassisted. And yeah, for her the treatment didn't do fuck all either(though she was diagnosed very late due to extreme incompetence of our healthcare system) other than make her weaker, and you can't exactly cut out someone's throat.Awful news for him.
Damn he gave himself Key Aids, RIP
>creator of KeyAIDS gets KeyAIDS pottery
Throat cancer is meh tier cancer
>write a story about fighting cancer>get diagnosed with cancerWho is writing this shit? Kojima?Seriously tho, who cursed Maeda, didn't he need a heart transplant like a decade ago?
Well shit.
>>291716922I know we don't like him and all,but that's rough.I wish him the best.
that sucks
He'll be fine, he's got five orbs of light. H-haha. Fuck.
>>291716922>cancer from drinking tea that is too hot
>>291716922>Palliative CareIt is over...
>>291717002Sure but haven't we seen some major advancements in cancer treatment lately?
>>291717023Kill yourself.
And to imagine he won heart transplant lottery just to get caught by cancer.
Are you happy now /a/? Is this what you wanted?
>>291716959I did that
>>291716955Seems pretty fucking unlikely considering he's not seeking treatment.
I was laughing hysterically by the end of Clannad when Ushio also dies of Key AIDS due to how relentless and over the top the tragedy was, but I have to apologize to Maeda now. He lived by example.
>>291717114i mean im not going to complain about it
What was the last good anime he was involved with?
Did he become a cute anime girl too?
His stories are always hit or miss, the biggest loss for me is going to be his music.
>caused primarily by drinking and smokingDon't do booze and cigs, kids.
>>291716922AIR, Kanon, Clannad, ONE, Angel Beats I loved all of those. I find it really short-sighted how people criticize "KEY AIDS" storylines in light of this. Acting like terminal illness is some rare melodramatic unicorn event means only perceiving things in the short term. Life is a terminal illness. Everyone fucking dies. It's stupid to criticize these stories for that.
>>291717214Do people even know it's not a real quote?
sad, this album is kino
>>291716922honestly, I don't really like any of Key works, maybe apart from Clannad, but it's a really sad news and I hope Maeda can somehow get better
>>291717243>chose palliative care instead treatmentSadly, he will need a Key miracle for him to get better.
>>291717255But it's extremely treatableOdd choice
>>291716922So that's just it, huh? How much time does he have left?
>>291717264probably already late stage
>>291717264all cancer depends mostly on how late you manage to find it.
>>291716922>working on a music projectDamn that's gonna be a rough listen, these death bed projects always are. Especially from a guy that already makes very emotional music. I still have a tough time listening to a lot of Eri Kawai's final music like Tanpopo Suisha without bawling my eyes out.
>>291716922What the fuckWe have to convince him to get treatment wtfHe's too obsessed with the possible poetic nature of his predicamentSomeone convince him to get treatmentWhat the fuckThe next gen needs his genes bro. He is a human spirit cultivator
>>291717293I loved this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5X9mrJVHbJU
>>291716922Not that worried. honestly. He'll probably show up as a ghost in the last chapter anyway.
>>291717264Pharyngeal cancer is actually a very broad term and how treatable it is depends on exact type of it, position and how developed it is.A small, HPV-positive tumor in upper parts of the throad would be an easy thing to deal with. Larger tumor located closer to esophagus and not related to HPV is fucking brutal, 20% of 5-year survival at best.
>>291717320>throadExcuse my fucking ESL but I just woke up. Also I'm kinda sad.
Oddly poetic in a way.
>>291717264>>291717320Doesn't he also have a heart problem along with a bunch of other conditions? Multimorbidity is awful.
>>291717293I remember I thought Hana no Tou sounded like it was sung someone who was at the end of her life and she really died not long after
>>291717343Yeah, idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy that ultimately would need a heart transplant one day.With that in mind any aggressive treatment would probably just kill him on the spot.
>>291717300"Treatment" for later stage cancer often less likely means a cure and more likely means a year or two more of life (but at a very unpleasant cost). Maeda probably looked at his options and thought "nah, I'm good".
>>291716922Man that sucks to hear. Remember to take care of yourselves anons
>>291717002I am sorry for your loss.
>>291717363>heart transplantyeah his immune system probably was already trash from the meds. Any treatment for cancer except maybe surgery would just nuke it and make him go faster
>got KEY AIDS at the very endWhat the fuck.
>Angel Beats will never be complete for real nowI had a small hope, wtf man. Life is really unfair.
Is it too autistic to write to him and say to donate his sperm so that we can have more great writers like him in the next generation?
>>291717401Genes don't work like that, anon.
>>291717412Okay, then how do we arrange purely economic factors so that we can have more great writers like him in the next generation?
>>291716922Fucking hell
>>291717427Cool it with the anti-semitism.
>>291717427Would have to start with getting more kids to read I guess.
For the rich people of course. And just like that news about fixing the retina of the eye and growing your teeth back it's gonna take at least 5-9 years before they release something for everyone.
>>291717459Meant for >>291717093
>>291716922Damn. I really liked a lot of his music.
>>291717401Maeda has nothing to do with great writers. Planetarian is the only good Key VN btw.
>>291717264It's been implied that it's pretty late stage. Once the symptoms shows up, it's basically over.
>>291717455We're doomed...
>>291717170Catherine
>>291716922>>291717014>>291717023Ironic
The fact that he's changed his plans to get his in progress songs out ASAP isn't a good sign for his prognosis
>>291717548He's got a few months left, palliative care isn't chosen if you still have years to live.
>palliative care
>>291717192>his musicYes. Jun Maeda is a godly musician. For me it's Owari no Sekai Kara (don't know why they suddenly removed it from youtube)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KzVot-fo6MMaeda may sometimes have issues in the fleshing out of his stories, but he really knows how to bring together elements that'll make you cry.
holy shit its really overEnd of an era once he goes
>>291717587This. His music makes me wish he never took up writing.
futaba thread on the announcementhttps://may.2chan.net/b/res/1442497227.htm
>>291717490Little Busters is like the best VN ever written so no.
>>291716922Charlotte was shit but I still like Clannad, feel bad for him
>>291717393Angel Beats is fucking trash compared to Clannad anime or Little Busters VN. I remember laughing with /a/nons to invisible Kinect memes when it aired, it was so bad.
>>291716922Damn.
>>291717587It's on yanaginagi channel https://youtu.be/pdGHyiPH8ig
>>291717669Not the music video though
>>291717632>they're debating if he were a heavy smoker or drinkerthat's just being japanese
>>291717632>クンニでなると聞いたがkek
>>291717412That's literally how they work though what the fuck kind of troll is this>>291717490Planetarian is good but doesn't touch Maeda's top tier of quality
he should get treatmentwe are in a moment in history where extending the lifespan even by just a year could make all the difference for treating cancer
>>291717401Every single thing he has worked in after clannad has been garbage to the point i have always thought clannad was good because of the other writersOne of his last works was so bad he actually was looking to kill himself a few years ago after the backlash
>>291716922>currently writing a yuri series where ayylmao slimes wearing dead characters fight a super ayylmao enemies called Cancershmmmm.....
>>291717731Don't people love little busters?Also he was working on non-visual novel works afterwards so it's not really his faultHe's not an anime writer
>>291717657>>291717659He's not good at writing for anime, that's pretty standard for lots of VN writersNot a slight against his true talents
>>291717737>Slime yuri is going to be his last work.....
>>291717785Dango dango dango dango...
>>291717746That makes no sense. He isn't writing screenplay, he isn't writing screen composition. He is writing a story in general, and you either write good, or you don't, and he didn't write so good.
>>291717737Can't believe yuri actually killed Maeda. Cancer doesn't last that long so probably just a funny coincidence kek.
>>291717785Dare I say, embrace the ultimate sorrow.
>>291716922god fucking dammit
>>291717737He better not ends this in some horrifying bad end
>>291717861Game's gonna end with Ruka waking up in the real world from a hospital bed surrounded by her friends. She then accepts her futile fate and dies from her cancer.
>>291716922I pray he pulls through, throat cancer is treatable but tough man.
>>291717093No, lol. All "advancements" are around detection. We're 5 or even 10 years out from actual treatment that isn't just poisoning your body and hoping the cancer cells all die before you do.
>>291717960>poisoning your body and hoping the diseases die before you do.This is just medical in general
>>291717727if the thing about heart transplant is true, then getting treatment will just kill him
>>291717293>>291717350It always hits me hard thinking about how Sayuri's final music video and album is Sanketsu Shoujo, her signature song from back when she was just a girl doing street performances around Japan barefoot before she made it big. That song must've taken on a new meaning for her through her battle with chronic illness and struggling with the knowledge that she's slowly dying and losing her ability to sing, the one thing she lives for.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L72R8VFVNEYEven more heartbreaking is her husband, whom she married shortly before her death (no doubt because she wanted to be married to him in the little time they had left together), writing a song that was released a few weeks before her death which in retrospect is clearly about how he's not ready to lose her. You can hear his quivering voice on the verge of breaking.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HuI7QD1xTs
Fuck this is messed up. He's only 51 as well.Just what do you have to do get a cancer so early in your life? Or is it just luck based?
>>291717255Ivemectin is the treatment, but then japan is WHO's bottom bitch..
>>291717977Not really ART is much better at actually targeting viral load than chemo is.Chemo is literally just poison, same with radiation. We simply don't have the tech to deal with cancer cells ability to adapt in a sophisticated manner.
>>291718013A friend of mine died of a brain tumor at 20. My niece's boyfriend is dying of stomach cancer in his mid-20s.
>>291718013He already had heart transplant, so his immune system is probably not that good.
>>291716922@_@
>>291716922I grew up with his VNs, man. This hurts my soul.
This is the worst news I've woken up to in years, man.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlkxpXYpAZs
>>291717093Cancer is essentially a thousand different illnesses. You can make major advancements in curing 10, but it will have no effect on the other 990.
you know the sad thing is that he was genuinely suicidal after the flop which was kamisama ni natta hi and HBR seems to be the work where he wanted to pick himself upit's like he was never destined to die old
>>291718022I am sorry anon, I hope you are ok.
>>291717814No, you're completely mistaken, you might as well ask him to tell a story through 100 stringed together haikus and wonder why it's not as good as his VNs
>>291718056I actually enjoyed the story of that game, but not the gameplay
i'm pretty sure he had also had heart problems before which led him to writing Angel BeatsJum....had a hard life
>>291718066His anime are just as (not) good as his VNs.
>>291718013Pharyngeal cancer is largely caused by smoking and alcohol, so avoid that and you're probably gonna fine. With other cancers it's more complicated, though avoiding tobacco and alcohol is a good idea either way.
>>291718013In his case it's probably stress and the subsequent burnouts over the years caused by the pressure of online critics. Not everyone is built to handle that.
>>291717214>>291718078It's nice to see that people still post these.
>>291716959Sure, it was me who suggested to him to start smoking
Might use a sticky actually
>>291716922What the fuck dude.
>>291718110give it enough months
>>291716922I still haven't forgiven him for Kamisama ni Natta Hi.
>>291718117Index if she was good.
>>291718013Sakamoto Desu Ga author died at 35. It's cancer. It doesn't fucking care.
>>291717459Anon, those pop science sites that talk about a massive new discovery that changes everything aren't real. Stop falling for that nonsense.
>>291718117I reckon a lot of people gave up on Jun after Charlotte though.
>>291718117We bullied him You did this.We did this
>>291718134Charlotte just needed 1 more courKamisama probably needed a complete rewrite
>>291718149Charlotte suffered the same fate as Angel Beats by being way too short to actually tell the story properly
Can he complete Heaven Burns Red? That one got a pretty good story.
Created the greatest bro in fiction. Hope he finds peace.
>>291718134For me that was the point where it became clear that he should not be allowed to get anywhere near anime anymore. HBR is still a little under his peak but it's far better than anything he's put out from Angel Beats onwards.
>>291718013cancer is rng, age or carcinogenic stuff just increases the chance of getting it (which eventually reaches 100%, other stuff just kills you earlier), the base chance is always there
>>291718207They announced chapter 6 will be the end of the main story, most likely because they knew Maeda is dying, but now it sounds like he won't have enough time to finish that either.
How the fuck is it fair that Maeda got slammed by keyaids TWICE and there are evil horrible politicians and billionaires almost twice his age still alive and kicking? I'm so fucking angry and sad right now, holy shit I hate this world.
>>291718076Holy fuck I hope someone makes a VN only version of the game. I fucking hated the dungeons so much it made me drop the game.
>>291718236>extremely stressed, poor work schedules, never takes health advice seriouslyvs>not stressed as fuck because swimming in money, has access to an S-tier healthcare and early prevention
>>291718207>Gachashit>ever endingOnly nasu can do that because he owns type moon and they decide what to do with their game
>>291718257Miyazaki smokes like a chimney, subsists on ramen and is perpetually yelling at cloud, and he'll outlive most of us
>not pursuing treatmentthis nigga wants the same ending as his characters
>>291718117>>291718143
>>291718110Newfag mods more likely to nuke the thread than a sticky
>>291718278Retard
>>291718293It's a choice between getting treatment and living in constant torture for 2+ years unable to make anything then dying, or not getting treatment and having a least a few months left to do the things he wants to do before the final few months of torture. He chose to create.
>>291718333Yeah, you are retarded, we know, nasu ended the story for FGO and their profits halved by like -55% in 1 year
>>291718117I've slowly come to terms with the fact that when a lead creator/lead writer/lead artist advertises or markets his latest work as "The ___est thing EVER" it's probably garbage regardless of how great that creator is.
>>291718257Being a clinical psychopath also helps, because you experience zero stress and are never worried about letting people down.
