Boy oh boy where do I even begin. Kawamori... I have loved you ever since I first watched Escaflowne. The way you drew mechas and created characters that felt real, that acted with emotion. The way you handled personal character development, and the impact of every movement a mech would make, the fluidity of a valkyrie switching to flight mode, gerwalk, or battroid. I would do anything for you. I wish it were possible to freeze time so I would never have to watch you pass. You had a rough childhood but you never gave up hope. You are amazing, even void of the anime world, I have no doubt that you are a great husband/father. I forever fear and dread the day that comes when you and I will both no longer be part of this world at the same time. I would sacrifice my own life if it were the only thing that could make you direct a new Macross show in cel-animation. You have given me so much joy, and heartbreak over the years. I remember the first time I watched Macross Plus and my heart was broken into a million pieces. Although some people may not like your work, I will always hold it dear. I wanted you to return home, and you did, but unfortunately my love couldn't harbor with modern day Macross or Basquash or Aquarion. I was crying, I was bawling, yet I remembered these words that changed my life forever, "Dedicated to you, our future pioneers". Not only have you changed the world of anime, mecha, the culture as a whole, but you've forever made a lasting impact on my life and the ideology that I personally believe in. As I watch you get older every year, sadness befalls me knowing that our days are limited but you will always be my GOAT. I love you, my glorious King, Shoji Kawamori
