I feel so sorry that such a talented man had to meet his end this way. This really is a true tragedy. My prayers go out to his surviving family.

Nobody shouldn't be hiking or rock-climbing alone (unless you're a professional) without a buddy. That's what the Buddy System is all about.

The moral to this tragic story: Buddy Up For Safety.
Would be an interesting bumper if they did that. I personally wouldn't mind any kind of message about his passing if they tried (they had done one for Iwao Takamoto, though he was an animator/character designer at Hanna-Barbera on familiar shows like Scooby-Doo).

So we have to wait for the word from ANN until then.
A show like Crayon Shinchan could easily be made after his death if the writers of said show continue to be able to turn out new adventures and scenarios week after week (hasn't stopped Doraemon).

In America, we have barriers in our mountainous national parks to prevent accidental falling. Japan doesn't.
Yikes, so he wasn't expecting it at all. How awful.

It's awful that he went so suddenly in a tragic freak accident. I just hope he didn't suffer too much when he died and that the family he left behind can find some peace (and not get harassed by the press).

Shin-Ei ended Doraemon in 2005 and Studio Pierrot picked it up and began a new series to celebrate its' anniversary on that same year.

There's something else I should add.

The creator's real birth name was Yoshihito.

Update: It's Official. The Shin Chan anime is going to continue its broadcast on Asahi. Yay!!!
