Hisayuki Toriumi passes

If the above picture conjures up some awesome memories from childhood.. then my friend, you rock. BUT.. if you’re lame and you don’t recognize these characters at all then I don’t know what to do with you at all! That my friend (or is it fiend?) is a poster of “Battle of the Planets” (or maybe you might recall the phrase “G-Force” perhaps?? A little bit?? NO??”).. remember it now?? No??

In any case, I’m sad to say that the genius behind the series, Hisayuki Toriumi, died in Japan at the end of last month. Honestly, it’s been quite some time since I’ve seen the anime series – let alone any of his other work but his death is undoubtedly a loss to the anime industry if not this world of ours. My sincerest condolences goes out to his family.

Go G-FORCE!
