Satoshi Mori, Gift-o'-Animation Founder and Episode Director for series such as 'The Rising of the Shield Hero' Season 1 and 'Made in Abyss' has passed away after losing a battle to long-term illness

Gift-o'-Animation Founder Satoshi Mori Passes Away At 41

Animation director Satoshi Mori, founder of Gift-o'-Animation and key figure in recent Cardfight!! Vanguard series, has died after his battle with a prolonged illness.

someone who bridged traditional sakuga roots with contemporary long-form series work. Mori's legacy lives on through the episodes and seasons he shaped, especially the Vanguard entries that brought card battles to life for a new generation.

Our thoughts are with Mori's family, friends, and everyone at Gift-o'-Animation and Kinema Citrus during this difficult time. Rest in peace, Satoshi Mori.

Just two days ago I started learning about Made in Abyss because of a video game that came out on Nintendo Switch and PS5. It caught my attention because of its art style and story.

RIP.

Made in Abyss is such a brilliant piece of work.

I only discovered this anime two days ago, while looking for PS5 and Switch games. Its cover art caught my eye.

Can't recommend it (the anime) enough.

I've not played the game because by all accounts it's supposedly not that great, but the amine is top tier.

One-Punch Man has been on my anime watchlist for some time.

I love Made in Abyss, even though it has an odd bathroom obsession. Season 1 of shield hero was also the best. Each season I've been less and less interested.

Sad to hear about this guy. Seemed he did good work
