I'm sorry that he died at such a young age just when he was having some success, I wanted to see other works made by him, that he can rest in peace.

Directed Queen's Blade and Sin: Nanatsu no Taizai. He did a lot for the culture and knew what good ecchi needed.

RIP

Yeah, this guy actually directed stuff. You post sarcastic posts in a thread commemorating people who died, nice job.
So what else are you doing in your life?
