Oh no...I loved him as Happosai from Ranma 1/2, he was hilarious. RIP Nagai, you will be missed ;__;

It is the year 0079 of the Universal Century, a half century has passed since mankind began moving it's burgeoning population into gigantic orbiting space colonies, a new home for man kind where people are born and raised.....and die....9 months ago the cluster of colonies furthest from the Earth called Side 3 proclaimed itself the Principality of Zeon and launched a war of independence against the Earth Federation. Initial fighting lasted over one month and saw both sides lose half their respective populations. People were horrified by the indescribable atrocities that had been perpetrated in the name of independence....8 months had passed since the rebellion began.....they were at a stalemate.....

Legendary lines spoken by a legendary man to start a legendary series that would change the shape of anime forever and influence it this day and he's the first person to ever speak a line in Mobile Suit Gundam. He was also Netero who was shaping up to be really awesome in this latest arc of Hunter x Hunter. Nobody is going to be able to fill the shoes this guy left behind. :(

My condolences to his family and may he rest in peace :(

I feel kind of ashamed for not knowing that he was Netero's voice actor until now, he fit Netero perfectly.

RIP Tsuru'sennin, Karin and Nekota-chan. First Kamogawa's Seiyuu dies then Nekota's dies? Man, Hajime no Ippo is going through some rough times. Not to mention Masako Nozawa. First a colleague dies (Ichirou Nagai) then her husband (Masaaki Tsukada). Fuck this month, man.

Well he already said one of those awesome lines of his in the arc:

But yeah, would've liked him playing the rest of Netero's role in the arc. (and in the next arc)
