    I was a Shin Chan fan since around winter 2009 when I started really getting into manga and anime after Toonami was Cancelled. (1 year cancellation anniversary 2 days ago) This just saddens me. And if your wondering, before Toonami’s cancellation, I had watched 1 episode of arounf 20 anime. That number as of this post is at 88. For manga, at least one chapter is at 47 (Hikaru no Go being the only I neither like nor dislike).

    What makes it worse is just how he died, fell off a cliff alone in the mountains. We can only hope he didn’t have to suffer.
