ANN News Report
In rather disturbing news this weekend, the creator of "Crayon Shin-chan," Yoshito Usui, was confirmed dead this weekend. More information in the article.

I was shocked when I read it in the news this morning.
It didn't sound good when they found a "dead body that looked like Mr. Usui", but having it confirmed really hurts. No more Shin-chan, no more epic Shin-chan movies... I hope not. The ending of the serialization hurts in itself too. |

I watched a couple dub episodes of Crayon Shin-Chan and my friends and I are like laughing. The art style is weird (though I understand why it's like that XD), but it was funny for the most part.
Even though I don't know too much about him, have to say it's shocking he died. Makes you realize deaths can happen like that, which is quite a sad thought. I'm confused, though. One update says he might die from lung collapse, while the other says from falling off the cliff or whereever he was taking pictures at: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news...n-yoshito-usui

This is so tragic. That series was really popular in Japan, and it is still is til this day! I wasn't a fan of the anime or manga, but I knew how popular it was to everyone else. He was a great artist with talent. He is going to be well missed. When I heard the news that they found a body that kinda looked like him, I knew that the end was near. *sigh* Another one we lost...
R.I.P. Yoshito Usui....my condolences to his friends and family over this tough time.
