I wanted to have my next review out sooner, but this just happened and I thought it could use a post. Legendary artist Leiji Matsumoto has died of acute heart failure at age 85.
Matsumoto was the creator of works such as Space Battleship Yamato and Captain Harlock; with his art being highly influential even in the west. Daft Punk notably collaborated with them on the film Interstella 5555, set to their highly-acclaimed album Discovery. His wife Miyako Maki is also a respected creator in her own right, notably being the creator of Licca-Chan.
I wish the best for those close to Matsumoto at this difficult time. May he rest in peace.
