It was a heart attack. Think that was the same way Michael Lindsay went, too (though he had health problems). I hate this, I hate hearing of Digimon voice-actors passing like that.
Saki was great.
What's the main controversy with this anime. Never saw it but every time it is mentioned people act like it was this huge thing that was a piece of shit. Something about episode 16 or 14.Unfortunately the episodes before that and the controversy surrounding them is what this show will be remembered for:

We even had a thread about that:
You mean Valverape the Penetrator?
I unironically consider Cross Ange a 10/10 for the sheer entertainment value alone that it gave me the whole way through. Ange is also a stand out character to me, Hilde and Top Maid being tied for second favorite, in that she is unapologetically a massive bitch and learns to embrace that fact as she spends her time on the lesbian prison colony. The plot is also quite bizarre, but it just kind of works because it fits within the messed up logic of the world where none of the out there plot twists really break that logic. It's a show that on all levels should have spun out and sucked, but somehow it didn't due to good old Sunrise magic. I personally rate it higher than Valvrave, which I also enjoyed disregarding the second season, though below the masterpiece Samurai Flamenco which I also consider a 10/10.
God, I love Sunrise original mecha so much. They are almost always batshit wild for no reason. Even if I can't remember what happened for most of something like Buddy Complex I still remember the big twist of Evil leader of the enemy nation being an older version of a pilot that seeks revenge against the MC (even using time travel to attack him) all because he cucked him of the girl he liked and have a laugh.
The main controversy is the insane lost potential. It was really promising and had some good stuff, but dropped the ball HARD in the last stretch where the main story/themes are dropped for… some fucking alien conspiracy.
I know trannies got mad because the plot had the children grow up without acknowledging their gender, only for them to rebel and assert themselves as their biological gender. Because they are vindicative hypocritical motherfuckers
I haven't really seen anyone talk about gate for awhile and while iirc it sold pretty well I don't think it caught on very much since there haven't been to many military isekai, which I find a little disappointing since I'll admit that niche is a bit of a guilty pleasure for me when they don't go completely "Nippon Banzai"
Realistically if someone made an isekai like this, that author would be out of a career. NEETs don't care and Japanese NEETs never want to work because of how the work culture in Japan is.
I'd love a gag manga where a summoning ceremony grabbed a not-Jason or similar for their hero and it using horror movie logic. Princess plays the straight man and never faces death because final girl trope or something. Added fun if they attempt other hero summons to fix the problem and just get more knock off versions of popular horror slashers/villains.
As somebody who is fully caught up, the series doesn't get stale and starts going deeper into the plot around the halfway point of the manga. I highly recommend it and it's probably my favorite fantasy manga that's currently coming out. Also the expressions from this manga are top notch.
Is there some kind of unwritten rule in Japan where they feel the need to repeat certain words ad nauseum? For example, Nanomachines (MGS4), vocal cord parasites (MGS5), Celestial Being (Gundam 00), darling (Darling in the Franxx), etc.
I would make a reverse Isekai where a powerful male character ends up in Japan without his powers. He tries to become a member of japanese society but turns into a fat otaku neet at the end.
