canand Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 Update:* Shudō has been pronounced dead at the age of 61. MSN Japan reports that Takeshi Shudō, former head writer of the Pokémon anime, collapsed at Nara railway station's smoking area around 6:00am on Thursday, October 28th. Upon being discovered by a passerby, he was rushed to the hospital and is undergoing surgery. It was soon determined at the hospital's emergency care center that Shudō had suffered a subarachnoid hemorrhage in his head. Shudō was a key part of the initial stages of the anime's original series. He wrote the first episode, which aired over ten years ago, and was a scriptwriter for the first three movies. His most recent Pokémon work was in 2003, writing the screenplay for the 244th episode of the anime, Yadon's Comprehension! Satoshi's Comprehension! (Enlighten Up!). Shudō has also been credited with creating the legendary Pokémon Lugia. In Japan, Shudo is best known as the creator of the classic manga and anime series, Magical Princess Minky Momo. His other credits include Martian Successor Nadesico and Legend of the Galactic Heroes. Source http://bulbanews.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Former_anime_writer_hospitalized

Oxigen_Waste Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 I thought this was related to Takeshi's Castle when I first read the thread title. I have no idea why... I think I know why... it's because of the Takeshi, that's why. (... ) Let's be honest, does this guys' death justify a thread? I mean, he did average work, big whoop.
