Hello there Gunkan (Captain Battleship) fans.

[demifiendrsa]

Legendary manga and anime creator Leiji Matsumoto has passed away on February 13, 2023 at age 85 due to heart failure. 

Some of his notable works include Space Battleship Yamato, Space Pirate Captain Harlock, Galaxy Express 999, and Queen Emeraldas. He also collaborated with Daft Punk to supervise several animated music videos for their Discovery album, and the videos were strung together into the Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem film.

Some sad news to share, friends - Leiji Matsumoto, the iconic creator of Space Battleship Yamato (aka Starblazers), Space Pirate Captain Harlock, Galaxy Express 999, and many more, has passed away at the age of 85. A manga artist since the 50s who originally got his start in shoujo manga, Matsumoto’s works were a cornerstone of early anime fandom. American sci-fi fans of the 70s may not have known the terms “anime”, “manga”, or “cosplay”, but they knew and loved Matsumoto’s work, which was many fan’s first exposure to anime back in the day. One of the first recorded “cosplay” gatherings in the US was of fans dressed as mostly Leiji Matsumoto characters!

In other parts of the world, they also fell in love with Matsumoto’s work: as in France, where Harlock was known as Albator, and won the hearts of many fans. So much so that Matsumoto won many prestigious awards there, and would eventually be knighted in 2012 by the French government. French electronic duo Daft Punk was highly influenced by his work, and in 2001 collaborated with Matsumoto to release anime music videos (and eventually a feature-length film version called Interstella 555).

Modern anime & manga owe much to his work, as he was THE pioneer of space opera and what he liked to call “boy’s romance” stories--”romance” in the literarily sense--full of angst, heroism, and fighting for independence while celebrating nature, brotherhood, and friendship. He helped many people learn to never give up on themselves and their dreams, no matter how fantastical they may seem.

May his spirit travel on, in a new adventure in the endless sea of stars.

Poor ratings took Harlock from Star Blazers/SBY, I’m devastated 😔

im kinda attached on the idea of winter wonderland in tuxedo sam kingdom, but imagine SEEDs that could bring eternal winter or summer? maybe with tuxedo sam kingdom, we could have reference to london fog and the SEEDs make its own version infused with negativity or them hiding in the fog. with tuxam having sherlock holmes influences…

Something I really love about Leiji is the way he wasn't afraid of empty space. He doesn't fill outer space with sparkles and stars and galaxies. It's just empty. It really expands the sense of scale.

Space Battleship Yamato ch 8

ch 9

ch 15

I also love when Harlock's ship descends to the bottom of the sea and goes down, down, down for several pages just to emphasize how far underwater they have to go.

He could've filled the descent panels with little Easter eggs like jellyfish and sunken boats and things like that, or had a character say that the journey took a long time, but he drew all that emptiness.

Captain Harlock ch 10

Since I only have one art meme for today I offer up something else:

After almost four years of dodging the draft (covid) I have finally been caught and punished but instead of being normal and "sitting and resting," I have used my excessive free time to make this

[la-hannya]

So heartbroken that Leiji Matsumoto has passed. What a legend. Highly recommend his works. He made such a badass female character like Emeraldas
