[Sad News] Jun Maeda, author of Angel Beats!, Clannad, Kanon and AIR has Cancer.https://x.com/VisualArtsUSA/status/2112076543250124825
>>291717009This fucking hurts...And it must be serious because he has choosen palliative care over more aggresive treatments.While nowadays palliative treatment is better than what it was decades ago, it's still picking the least painful and least effective option. This is not good...
>>291717009Damn, that's awful...
>>291717009Fuck man. This world sucks so much ass right now.
>palliative>but also to conserve his strength and devote himself to his creative workit doesn't compute
>>291717009Damn, I hope he recovers
>>291717185I'm afraid that's not likely unfortunately. He's not undergoing active treatment and is instead on palliative care. Basically just easing his pain and symptoms as much as possible until he passes.
>>291717009I had a dyslexia moment for a second and read the exclamation point as being at the end of the sentence and thought wow thats very disrespectful
>>291717205:(
[Sad News] Jun Maeda, author of Angel Beats!, Clannad, Kanon and AIR has Cancer!
>>291717009Jesus Christ, we were joking about KEYaids and KEYcancer.
>>291717165Palliative treatment is basicallly just about minimizing suffering. Considering that he will be focusing just on finishing his current works and that writing stories, lyrics and music can be done in bed, I think it makes sense?Chemo and Radiotherapy would give him better chance of actually surviving but also would leave him fucked up badly. It's literally just "we will pump you with poison and radiation and hope that cancer will give up before you die".We also don't know what kind of pharyngeal cancer it his and how much it's developed. A HPV-Positive tumor in upper parts of throat is much easier to deal with than something not related to HPV and located much deeper.>>291717185We all hope that there will be a miracle, but with info we have right now it seems that Meade decided to die for the sake of being able to finish his last works.
>Jun Maeda is going to dieI really hated his latest and last anime (sorry that ending was crap), but he's made gems too. Him choosing to pass instead of fighting back just seems like he's resigned to the fact that he's not at his metaphorical peak. A creator with passion has a soul whose flame burns so bright, that they'd fight to the bitter end to keep creating for the world. Palliative care? He's given up, and that's really depressing
>>291717185>palliative careIt's unlikely. He's on limited time now and chose to just finish what he started instead of stopping.
>>291717009It's impossible not to see the irony with how often he abused mysterious illnesses as a plot device.>giving up on treatmentFarcical, even.
>>291717272You're a fucking retard, you stupid little faggot. Abused illness as a plot device? You ignorant shit. You're the one acting like death is rare when literally everybody that lives ends up dead. Dumb cunt.
>>291717253yeah but like how incapacitated can he be if he just does the actually treatment and it actually works?
>>291717009>Palliative careAh, not looking good, then.>>291717359Only he and his doctors know.
>>291717359He also has serious heart disease that ultimately would demand a heart transplant. I feel like he just had no other choice but to pick palliative care because any more aggressive treatment would just nuke his heart.It's just the most lame and tragic catch 22 situation. Either he will let cancer to kill him or he will get treatment that will kill him due to his heart issues.
>>291717478oh well that's the first time i knew about itRIP i guess
>>291717314Artifice is artifice, bro.
>>291717509Can't believe he became IRL Katawa Shoujo's MC
>>291717314Yeah, that's what he did. Plot aids is shitty writing.
>>291717272Kek, exactly what I thought.
>>291717256>chose the option that allows him to create more>somehow it's not fighting to the bitter end to keep creating for the worldAlso Heaven Burns Red is actually unironically his peak.>>291717478Pretty sure he had the heart transplant in ~2016 already so that's likely a big factor.
Death already consumed his mind with kami-sama 6 years ago.
>>291719301>had the heart transplantSeems like that was wrong and that's when he announced it first, does anyone know if he ended up getting it?
>>291719525it doesn't really matter now
Kami sama was a huge piece of shit but I always hoped he'd come back and make another animeDamn
>>291719301>Also Heaven Burns Red is actually unironically his peak.yurishit will never be peak
