Damn.....I had forgotten Monkey Punch died, and I'm not sure I heard if Kozuo Koike had died.....rip to all of the people we lost this year. Including the animators who were killed in the fire.

That’s like 75 people. That has to be a record or at least close to it. Just proves that a lot of talent was lost in 2019.

We lost a lot of talented people last year, but they will not be forgotten.
I would like to mention another actor who passed away last year, Alfonso Ramírez, he was a Mexican voice actor who voiced many characters in Saint Seiya such as Taurus Aldebaran and Pisces Aphrodite, Nobita's dad in Doraemon, and Jet Black in Cowboy Bebop. He also voiced Optimus Primal and Prime.

A lot of great people left us at the end of the past decade. Still, they will continue to live on through the work they've done over the years and through our eyes. We'll never forget.
