If it's Usui, he's most likely been dead for a week. He went missing on the 11th, which would mean that they probably WOULD want to do DNA testing, if the body has been sitting there that long, and they're not gonna go get him until tomorrow. |

It's cases like this where it's a positive thing to hope that someone robbed him of his clothes because then maybe we just lost some clothes-theif and he will show up some day naked and alive and ready to continue making masterpieces.

This is probably considered high profile in Japan, I'm sure the family will be notified in advance, but the news probably won't get the confirmed ID until they've done at least 2 of said tests/identifications...
I almost cried when I read this. It seems just yesterday my gf and I were talking about the multitudes of ShinChan movies and if there were going to be more... And by the off chance it isn't him, and even if it is, that is a horrible way to go, especially if you're afraid of heights (*guilty*). I hope he didn't suffer... |

It's already been mentioned how this will impact the anime community, but even Korean fans are already shocked about this news, according to this article:
http://news.searchina.ne.jp/disp.cgi?y=2009&d=0919&f=national_0919_034.shtml He will be surely missed if all the clues are right. |

I hope it's not the case, but if Usui-san did die, it's nice to know there are more fans interested in his work than during the C1 years. Back then, no one was buying the manga. And I'm guessing the reason was they thought the covers meant the content was "kiddie". So the anime's been very helpful for the series. Thus, I hope, if something did happen to him, FUNi and CMX will honor the guy's memory on future volumes.

Yeah, but you can't be paranoid either. There is a risk involved in everything, but that shouldn't be a reason to drastically change your lifestyle. I don't know that I'd recommend hiking alone in the Karuizawa area, but by all means, still go hiking. |

Wow, so tragic. Shin-chan is a hilarious manga and I really recommend it, especially if you're only familiar with the Americanized anime series (Even though the CMX translation has references to Jessica Alba ).
My thoughts go out to his family. This is an unexpected and saddening event. |

And there are scavengers of the animal variety also... RIP whoever the body belongs to. |

Wow. This is horrifying. I noticed the news that he was missing and I'm still hoping for the best. It's hard to imagine that a creator so full of life would lose his.

Now there's an example of someone who looks to the sides of the road 4 times before crossing. |

The report said he expressed his intent for climbing the mountain.He knew the risks and went anyway. I applaud him for actually leaving his comfort zone and exploring other things in life. If it's what he wanted, then he knew the risks. I respect the man for his work, but people do what people do. Nothing about that is sad. |

Wow, I wish, by some slim chance, this didn't turn out to be him, but it's too much of a coincidence to not be him.
I liked his work- well, at least what they dubbed on CN. |
