I hate cancer. It keeps taking important people from us.

He actually provided the voice of a lot of characters

Chances are if you watch anime subbed, you've most likely heard him at some point in your life.
May his soul rest and his legacy live on.

I hate cancer. It keeps taking important people from us.

It also takes away a lot of people I dislike, just not fast enough.

Prof. Oak never did me wrong.
Bulma and Prof. Oak: Itsudemo soko ni, nani.

Ugh. Fucking cancer.

Damn, that sucks. Rest in Peace.

He was also the voice of Joseph Joestar from JJBA and Jet Black from Cowboy Bebop among a bunch of other shows. We lost a legendary VA today.

I know you're trying to be funny, but under these circumstances this is honestly very disrespectful to say.

R.I.P May he live on in the luxury of heaven

Okay Jayro, that's fucked up.

Damn you cancer.
First there's Iwata, now this

I'd be inclined to put a "Pokémon is already dead aswell-" line here,

then again, he did some great work. RIP.

Damn you cancer.
First there's Iwata, now this

Well.. the #1 Factor for lil "C" is age.
So no wonder...

But Iwata seemed to have gone to soon.
(he truly was waaay too stressed out, having to shoulder so much. poor chap)

Cancer takes so many lives each year. It's especially sad when it's a person that were somehow part of your life.

Here's a prime example of an unfunny person trying to get some cheap laugh by making bad jokes on a death. Go away.

There's a time and place for everything, but not now.
