Wait, is that today popular to draw characters voiced by late Yuko Mizutani?

She did have a very extensive list of characters she lent her voice to. It's only natural that so many people who fell in love with varying works via her characters show some respects via these images.

I know very well about her, color of her voice, and her roles.
Known about her for years.

But it just rubs me the wrong way how people didn't seem to care about her when she was alive, nor did they then drew pictures out of respect for her work, compared to some mega popular seiyu like Kana Hanazawa, or Mamoru Miyano, etc...

And she was voicing long before them.

Dunno, respect for those who passed away is admirable, but it's both sad and ridiculous that some people need to die to be even mentioned.

Are you serious? Nobody gets constant tributes throughout their life. Obituaries are often the only public notice *anyone* gets. Even celebrities are frequently forgotten if they're not actively working, and the tributes only pour in once they die. It's why we have funerals, so we can honor a person's life after it has ended. This is normal. It is how basically every single culture has ever dealt with death.

We are allowed to be sad about the death of someone whose life we didn't follow closely. It is an entirely human response. You've got no business telling people that their sadness is invalid because Yuko Mizutani wasn't more popular.

She hadn't fallen into obscurity either, actually. The director for the Super Robot Wars series even said she seemed perfectly fine a month ago when she was recording her lines.

What hit hard about this was more with how sudden it was.
