I can't believe nobody posted anything in regards here anywhere at https://lemmy.film! 5000 posts drooling over Barbie and Oppenheimer* but not a word about Kuri's passing. And I don't even like anime, generally!

From the linked article…

The Yoshida brothers’ impact on the Japanese animation industry is hard to overstate. The work done by Kuri and his siblings and Tatsunoko has stood the test of time and helped define several generations of the art form.

…emphasis mine.

I grew up with Speed Racer, and was a huge fan of Robotech (we even had dogs named Rook and Rand), and Macross. Thanks for sharing.

When I was a kid, I thought the pre-Matrix "bullet time" shot of Speed jumping out of the Mach 5 was magic! I guess the Wachowskis thought the same thing.

Anyway, that is a direct example to Kuri's art direction and animation.
