Today I share another sad piece of anime news.
It seems that Makiko Futaki, a longtime Studio Ghibli animator has passed away at age 57.
Futaki played a large part in Spirited Away and Akira, two of my favorite anime films and two of my all-time favorite movies. While her legacy will be survived by her work until her final credit on When Marnie Was There; the news still saddens me deeply as a fan of the studio and the medium.
Even as I celebrate my mother's 54th birthday today, I wish Futaki's friends and family the best in this difficult time. May she rest in peace.
