| Wow, this is sad news. :-( I really like Serial Experiments Lain and I hope to see some other anime that he has been involved in. It's a shame he can't direct more now but he has left behind something that he'll for ever be remembered and respected for. Rest in peace. |

| Kino's Journey was an amazing series R.I.P... |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| RIP I will re-watch Lain in honor of your work |
 |
| Lain had a lot of influence on me when I started watching anime. I still love it. R.I.P. Thank you for Lain. |

| Kino's Journey is one of my favorite anime~ really a brilliant series. RIP |
 |
| R.I.P. |
| R.I.P. Was looking forward to Despera. |
 |
| He set the standard for thought provoking and surreal anime, one which will stand as a monument to his ability. SEL and Kino's Journey are timeless, and I'm grateful to have experienced such art. R.I.P. |
 |
| Rather than feeling sad, I feel a lot of gratitude for him. I thank him for the work that he's done, and I hope that his works will continue on in the future by minds that may not be his, but will live up to and possibly surpass what he has set forth. Something like that anyways. |
| R.I.P....died too young. |

| I suddenly feel terrible for bashing Kino no Tabi the other day. Sad news, indeed. And don't forget about Ghost Hound, guys. |

| Sigh..life is tough. RIP. |
| There's two kinds of people you can't win an argument against: One - Too dumb to tell right from wrong. Two - Too stubborn to admit they are wrong. |
| This is some sad news... I literally just got done re-watching Lain the other day too. |
 |
| Although Lain was quite different, I still appreciated it. Kino no Tabi, on the other hand, is still one of my favorites and it is sad to hear that the director of this beautiful anime has lost against cancer and passed away. Rest in peace. |
   |
| rip he made one of the animes that i actually liked |
| RRRRRRRRRR |
| RIP for Despera too |
 |
| R.I.P Now Ryutaro gets to join other directors of greatness. Thank you for producing great works. Kino no Tabi was an enjoyable piece of work. :( |
| i am sorry RİP |
 |
| Wait... this was just last month o_o? And just about a week right afterwards, I watched "Serial Experiments Lain" for the first time, and I finished "Ghost Hound" just last night, too... oh gosh... that really, really sucks. Can't believe we lost another great director. Had the same fate as Satoshi Kon. Wow... It's like a lot of great directors are just dying these days. That's really sad, it hurts to hear that. Rest in peace, Ryuutaro. Thanks for the amazing legacy you left behind. |
  |
| his works are amazing (゜´Д｀゜) this is such a sad news may he rest in peace |
    |
| RIP :( |

| I hold Kino on a pedestal above pretty much every anime to ever be made. So as you can imagine, this news is quite saddening for me. RIP Nakamura. You did good |
 |
| Oh darn. I personally think both Lain and Kino were on the weaker side of his works, but Rec and Colorful were totally awesome. RIP Nakamura-sensei. :( |
| So it goes. |
| . |
| Kino no Tabi was a great anime. It really saddens me to find out that its director has gone from this world. Rest in peace... |
   |
| Very sad. Rest in peace. |
| :c |
| R.I.P Why do many great people in the anime industry have to die? Dx Well, as long as he goes to heaven, he may rest in peace now. Condolence to his family, friends & fans. |
 |
| 2013 has been complete shit for anime fans so far :( RIP |
| "The more inexperienced you are, the more you want to show off." - Oreki, Hyouka |
| His works were amazing... Lain, Kino, Ghost Hound... I'm very sad for this, but more than that, I thank him too. I loved his works, and even if it's a bit, changed slightly my person. Little, but changed. I hope his works will be watched by many people than those already watch and inspires another works in the future. Strength to his family. Anyway, he can rest in peace now. Dude, you're amazing. Good luck. |
| R.I.P |
