Super Animator Yoshinori Kanada Passes Away

He is in a better place (with Spike)


    
  
 

  
 
Sad news today, Yoshinori Kanada has died of a heart attack,  according to the animator’s resource site Anido. He was only 57 years old, and has animated lots and lots of anime in his career. His co-workers named him the prestigious title of “super animator.” He is not known for his character designs, but known for his character animation skills. Yoshinori talent will truly be missed. I find it sad that the first time I hear about him is when he is dead, and that happens far too much in this field. Here is a partial list of anime he has worked on.
