Macross 7: Not at All Fun and Games

A week ago I started watching Macross 7. It is a very quirky show, even by Macross standards. The characters are all amusing without being overly annoying, and I dig the Fire Bomber music.

My Anime Backlog

In before MAL, but whatever. While most are talking about their new picks this season, I’m sifting through my backlog, because I really should. There’s a ton of stuff that I keep telling myself I should watch, but couldn’t, thanks to a combination of work, new shows, and laziness. By order of priority.

On Dead Seiyuu

Osamu Ichikawa (who voiced Boddole Zer in Macross and Norris Packard from Gundam 08th MS Team) died of a heart attack a few days ago. While I’ve experienced fairly little of his work (having only heard his voicework on Voltes V’s Heinel and Daimos’s Richter in SRW after years of watching local dubs of said shows), I feel sorry for the man’s passing. RIP.

And so I come up with a question. What happens to anime characters with dead seiyuu?
