I'm a few days later but I know of a few people that watch me that'd be interested in knowing this.
The writer of the first three Pokemon movies and the original series (Takeshi Shudo) died a few days ago of a hemorrhage after collapsing at Nara Station. I'm not gonna lie, I teared the fuck up. This man wrote my /childhood/. We've lost a lot of celebrities in the last couple of years, but this one hits me the most. :C He will be missed.
