Didn't know of him but I watched Valve the Librator. This is useful: https://www.webmd.com/brain/qa/can-a-brain-hemorrhages-be-prevented Yet another reason not to smoke
He was one of the people to do Log Horizon ep 1?? Mahō Sensei Negima!: Mō Hitotsu no Sekai - Extra Mahō Shōjo Yue (OAV) : Director ?! I never felt so empty when there wasn't sequels... And now possibly won't be?! Eh? He helped on Love Hina too? Tenchi Universe xD ... We lost a good one.
A journey well traveled, with his works affecting many people, he made his own legacy, to be remembered. May he be at peace.
Not to be insensitive about his death, but I saw a comments agreeing dying at 55 is too young. I think 55 is already old and within the range of elderly folks around the world. Were they measuring the range for Japanese ages or am I missing something about the life expectancy of people in 2020+?
life expectancy of the world population as a total is an average 73.2 years. most countries have a life expectancy over 70 years (averaged between men and women) and the top 40 countries average 80 years or above. so, yes, dying at 55 is consider quite young these days. the last time world average life expectancy was 55 was in the mid-to-late 60s. life expectancy has been steadily climbing every year for most people in the world. even most of the "worst" countries for life expectancy are over 60 years average for their populations. Here's a site which i used for this info: https://www.worldometers.info/demographics/life-expectancy/
This is an old article from 2019, but at the time it was published Japan had over 70,000 centenarians, or people who were older than a century (100 years).
Then my expectation on living must be very low as I thought 40 was already old and 20 to 30 is adult.
