Very tragic to hear. I enjoyed her work in KOR
and Utena. As for 50... Well, several of us are
moving up in our ages also. We can't always
be in jr high waiting for Akira to come out. =)

away...

Very sad news from the seiyuu front, Chieko Honda has passed away. She
played (amongst many other roles) Kurumi Kasuga in Orange Road, Amy in Gall
Force and Elpeo Ple in Gundam ZZ....

It's hard to imagine she was already 50 years old.

RIP
