What a shame. Ranma 1/2 was my first manga and the first anime I purchased on DVD 7 years ago. May he rest in peace and condolences to his friends and family.

Aw man really? Profound sadness. Ranma was the first series I found when I was a kid, even though I never got past the first 8 episodes and a few OVA until years later.

RIP homie.

I'm sorry to hear this. Rest in Peace Robert O. Smith. I loved Inuyasha and his work as Kajinbo.

How very sad. I'm a big fan of both Takahashi series mentioned. Let him rest in peace. He was a very talented actor.

Sad to hear Genma's VA is dead. He did such a great job over the years on so many shows. Best wishes to his family and friends.

You introduced English-listening anime fans to one of the craziest fathers of all time in "Ranma 1/2." Thank you for the good memories, and may your soul rest in peace.

I had the privilege of working with Robert for 10 years on Ranma 1/2 starting in the summer of 1993. He was always jolly and happy to see you in studio. I will miss him greatly. May he be remembered fondly through the shows he voiced. Rest in peace my friend.

"Curse those evil Octopi" and "Still want to go home for dinner?" are two of my favorite anime lines ever. Sad to see him leave us and may he rest in peace

It's sad to hear Robert Smithhas passed. He really has done a fantastic job over the years on the various shows he has worked on. Cancer cna be a painful and slow way to go so hopefully he passed rather quickly and without much pain or suffering. Best wishes to his friends and family.

Very heartbreaking news, indeed. His voice acting work is well known and loved by many people, including myself. I wish the best for his family and friends. He will be missed.

Rest in peace.
