| Rest in Peace. Many thanks for voicing Pinako Rockbell. |
 |
| I can still hear "mukodono" from Ranma ½ in my head... |

| This is mean every day I check the anime news; https://i.imgur.com/DUIuPh9.png Seems like this parade into the afterlife will continue for some time. At which point 'anime is dead' might no longer be a punchline. |
 |
| She lived a long life. Rest in peace. |
 |
| Not much more to say other than to thank her for all the great memories she helped create. |
