Welcome to humanity, young friend. Welcome to humanity. |

| I finished watching Kaze no Stigma a long time ago and wondered why a sequel, even though the ending of the first practically called out another season (not to mention it had high ratings) was not made. It's sad when an author who had so much talent has to pass away. The manga was really nice and I could tell the author put their heart and soul into it. R.I.P. :( |

| Just about to finish the anime and planning on reading the novel, this sux to hear that its incomplete. RIP |

Oh but it is natural to think like that. We only know this guy from his work so that is what we care about. We can't cry over every single death on the planet else we would never ever stop crying. Since I didn't personaly knew the guy I am more sad about the fact KnS is unfinished rather than his death. It's a pity yeah but do you even know how many people died while I was writing this post? Yeah, that's it. |

| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
| No, that means if what you said were to happen I wouldn't even know he died since I wouldn't be looking out for news regarding the series (and the man in question himself). Like I said since I don't even know the man I can't really be sad. And why would I? There is absolutely no bond between us, I don't even know what kind of man he was when he was alive, all this piled up means I can't feel sorry he died as I cannot feel connected to him in any way other than through his work. I don't know how he was in his private life - maybe he was a great guy and if I knew that I'd probably cry myself to no end but since that is not the case I just can't. |

Werchiel said: That is not my question though. I was not asking why you don't feel sad now. My question is, if KnS were indeed finished (which assume you would know the man as you read KnS) and then he died, you would have been less sad since you wrote "I am more sad about the fact KnS is unfinished rather than his death"Like I said since I don't even know the man I can't really be sad. And why would I? There is absolutely no bond between us, I don't even know what kind of man he was |

| Exactly, we partly know the author and what he imagined through his work, but we don't know him as a person. He certainly had a great imagination by thinking up such a great story. Also, finding it sad that he didn't complete his lifework is less selfish than you think. The author himself might have felt the same way. His imagination couldn't be fully adapted into his work. This reminds me somewhat of Tolkien: He was an incredible author, yet he couldn't finish his lifework. People didn't really know him, but respect him even today because of his works. Same goes for the author of KnS: We may not have known the author as a person, but we do know what he created and respect him even in death. |
Miragos said: Nobody said that it is selfish. The main contesting point is when you said "I am more sad about the fact KnS is unfinished rather than his death" - so what does that mean? If the author had finished the work you were less sad???Also, finding it sad that he didn't complete his lifework is less selfish than you think. . |

| No, if Yamato Takahiro finished his work before his death we would still be sad because of the loss of a great author -even if we may just call him "the author of KnS". Let's compare him to the author of Zero no Tsukaima, who also passed away recently. Even though he finished his lifework, people were mourning his death. "I am more sad about the fact KnS is unfinished rather than his death" is probably a mixture of feelings of unaccomplishment and sadness. We knew the author through his work, yet it stays unfinished. But don't worry, your sadness isn't solely based on the unavailability of a potential completion. It is rather based on the loss of a person we only knew through his work. Even if he did finish his work, we would probably still write in this thread because we liked what he imagined and created. |

I'm usually quite bad at explaining what my mind meant but this pretty much sums up most of what I wanted to say about that. |
