One of the anime greats is no longer with us, as famed director Noboru Ishiguro has passed at the age of 73. The veteran director helmed many projects, from Space Battleship Yamato to the 1980 remake of Astro Boy.
Ishiguro’s list of works is full of influential anime, both in film and on television. He directed the movie Macross: Do You Remember Love?, Megazone 23, The Super Dimension Century Orguss, Yōkai Ningen Bem, and Legend of the Galactic Heroes, among others. His career continued on through recent years, with 2008’s Tytania, and 2009’s Pattenrai!! – Minami no Shima no Mizu Monogatari film.
In 1978, he founded Macross co-producing studio Artland, which has also worked on titles from classic anime like Orguss to more modern productions like Demon King Daimao and Katekyo Hitman Reborn!. The next convention Ishiguro was planning to attend was Animazement, which takes place in North Carolina from May 25-27.
