Dunno, he passed away about six years before I seriously started watching anime as hobby, so I started remembering his voice with a lot of old school titles he starred in, especially those short 2 - 3 episode long OVAs.

I just can't believe how great loss anime in general suffered with his death, he was able to voice cold heartless villains, as well as heroes with soul bigger than the ocean.

It's weird how I find myself so happy always hearing a voice of a person I never met, and so long after died...

Btw, I will also answer to my own question - there are just so many voice actors, especially from late 70s, 80s and 90s that I love, that I just can't rank them with who is worse, or better, but I sure do wish Shiozawa was in anime to this day. Sad

I guess, in a way, he lives through another amazing seiyu with a similar voice, Takumi Yamazaki.

Enjoy in thread.
