I didn't think anyone would hurt more than losing Miura, but Toriyama was devastating.

This was a REALLY tough year. Rachael Lillis and Akira Toriyama hit me really, really hard. They were my Middle school years and with Akira Toriyama-san my adulthood as well. May everyone on this list RIP.

So many wonderful creators died this year. Toriyama obviously hurts a ton. Sayuri's death is still hard to believe and accept, she was so young had so much more to give the world.

So many great people who really defines childhoods are gone. Akira Toriyama, Rachel Lillis, Noriko Ohara, Emi Shinohara, and Atsuko Tanaka are the ones I really know. Let's hope 2025 would be at least not very hard hitting with the deceased.

Yep same here!!! Also it so sad we lost of people in 2024, RIP to all of them especially Rachael Lillis and Akira Toriyama which both of them had deep impact on me and a lot of anime fans that grew up in the 90's and early 2000's.

I feel like every year is more and more folks passing, but 2024 really felt like a lot.

Rest in Peace to all. Sad

2024 was the deadliest year for most of the anime voice actors.

May they all rest in peace

This might quite possibly be pound for pound the most devastating edition of ANN's yearly in memoriam. Crying or Very sad

Nicholas Dupree was actually the hardest for me next to Toriyama.

Jan Scott-Frazier loved parties. Her closest loved ones threw her a memorial party full of memories, love, songs, art, good food and drinks, and karaoke. I couldn't go, but the "wake" beforehand was livestreamed. So many stories. So many tears.

I hope Jan could feel our love and how much we miss her. No one will be the same without her, and the world is so much darker without her inner light, which blazed brighter than Betelgeuse.
