RIP Atsuko Tanaka💐 Ghost In The Shell was one of favorite series back in the day, and the Major was a big part. My deepest condolences to her family and friends. She will be missed. 🌹
Been losing so many in recent years and not just in voice acting. It’s painful, but they’ve each marked television and cinema in unique ways. Still in pain over Kevin Conroy.
Hirata Hiroaki is the Japanese dub voice for Jonny Depp in Japan. Watching Pirates of the Caribbean and having Sanji’s voice come out of Jack Sparrow works surprisingly well. The Major has to be my favorite roll for Atsuko love Ghost in the Shell.
Honestly we lost so many iconic voice actors from Emi Shinohara (Sailor Jupiter 90s anime) to James Earl Jones it's a lot to keep up with and equally more depressing. But life must go on even after the legends we love pass. But Toriyama was the biggest blow for me. Next to Rachel Lillis, Kevin Conroy and JDF 😢
I'm a big pokemon fan so Rachel Lillis hit me hard too. But even though we lose them, at least we'll always have their work (or at least that's how I cope LOL)
Not to mention the legendary singer, _Kris Kristofferson_ himself... Yes... even *Abraham Whistler* from _Blade_ trilogy passed away at a great age of 88.
I followed her panda radio listener story recently in the radio yt channel tribute to her and find it so wholesome. her passing is so shocking and sad for me cause grew up listening and idolizing her voice.
Yeah, when I heard that she passed away I was going no we haven’t got a Fate/Hollow Ataraxia anime adoption who’s gonna voice caster now for the Japanese side because even though I do watch English dubs do still enjoy the Japanese voice actors
Thing is, Maaya sakamoto voiced motoko in the 1995 movie, but only briefly as the child cyborg body. So yes, having Maaya to replace atsuko Tanaka makes sense.
First video for your channel, second I saw what Mixing ment, subbed. I thought it ment mixing as in multiple media formats and covering them. Nope!!! Mixing drinks to match the subject. Baller. Hope this takes off.
takarazuka really one of the most influential on the progression of japanese woman in the entertainment industry, we need more video about, and rip legend thank you very much atsuko-san
Thank you for making this video, I can tell you poured a lot of passions into it. Would love to see you make a video about Akio Otsuka next, he's one of my favorite VA and he voices Batou in GitS.
I like Major, she is very women indeed and unlike most anime chicks that are girly and look like a girl, their's no denying she's a lady, and a dominant one at that too. For crying out loud, in the manga she even has her own harem!
Dude this year was insanely depressing for losing talent in general. Besides Japanese Talent like Tanaka, we lost Akira Toriyama, the Voice Actress for Chibi Maruko Chan, James Earl Jones, And Shelly Duval I know im forgetting some other talents here but 2024 has been an insanely depressing year in the entertainment industry. Matter of fact, this decade in general hasn’t really been the best for entertainment.
Speaking as one of Azur Lane's commanders, she was the voice of both HMS Hood and the Kriegsmarine's Tirpitz, both cornerstone characters in that game for years. We lost one of our best.
Who's your favorite character voiced by Atsuko Tanaka? And why is it not Phoebe from Friends?
The Major was a major impact on my life. Ghost in the Shell is such a great show between the story and the concept.
Agreed! Finding SAC as a kid taught me how much anime could do as a medium
absolutely Motoko Kusanagi from Ghost in the Shell series. I don't see any possible substitutes for this character...
Motoko Kusanagi.
Medea and Carmilla, both from Fate.
God rest her soul, that woman's voice will stick with us for a long time to come.
So true, she may be gone but her voice ain't going anywhere
RIP Atsuko Tanaka💐
Ghost In The Shell was one of favorite series back in the day, and the Major was a big part. My deepest condolences to her family and friends. She will be missed. 🌹
Rest in Peace, Atsuko-San. 😢🌹
6:22 Even more related is that Tanaka and Hirata are Trish and Vergil from DMC respectively.
They got a long history together! Always cool to hear about her game roles
Been losing so many in recent years and not just in voice acting. It’s painful, but they’ve each marked television and cinema in unique ways. Still in pain over Kevin Conroy.
I wonder if we're just at that age now where the actors we grew up with are starting to get that old
And Billy Kametz
She did voice Caster in Fate/Stay Night. Phenomenal performances. Every single character she voice was brought to life in a vivid and beautiful way.
Couldn't agree more
Hirata Hiroaki is the Japanese dub voice for Jonny Depp in Japan. Watching Pirates of the Caribbean and having Sanji’s voice come out of Jack Sparrow works surprisingly well. The Major has to be my favorite roll for Atsuko love Ghost in the Shell.
That seems like the perfect voice for Jack Sparrow. Now if he dubs Johnny Depp, I wonder if he's also Willy Wonka in the remake LOL
You wanna know what's funny? Hirata is also Vergil from DMC, and Jetstream Sam from MGR.
2016: I'm the worst year for celebrity deaths.
2024: Hold my stein filled with tears.
2024 wants that clout

@@MixingMediaYT i agree. It took me years to come to terms with Robin Williams passing. Thankfully rewatching Hook and Mrs. Doubtfire helped.
@@MixingMediaYTWe lost singer Sayuri too just recently.
Brian Trueman (of Dangermouse and Count Duckula fame) also recently passed. As did David Graham, most well known as Parker from Thunderbirds.
Not to mention the legendary singer, _Kris Kristofferson_ himself...
Yes... even *Abraham Whistler* from _Blade_ trilogy passed away at a great age of 88.
Shedding tears for Motoko.
Farewell, Major.
I followed her panda radio listener story recently in the radio yt channel tribute to her and find it so wholesome.
her passing is so shocking and sad for me cause grew up listening and idolizing her voice.
she would often go to the zoo and post videos of the pandas on her twitter. she really did love those pandas!
RIP Condolences to her loved ones.
Especially her son. Must be tough working a job that's so close tied to the mother he just lost
I know her voice very well. Thanks for the review of her life. She has entered that vast and infinite net.
That's a great way to think of it, thanks for watching!
I wish someone was streaming the Japanese version of GitS: Stand Alone Complex.
Same! I'm not a big "I need the physical media" kinda guy but SAC is one I'm glad I bought the Blu-rays for
I'm certain Netflix used to stream it years ago before they nuked their own catalog
Outside of the ghost in the shell movies I have both seasons of ghost in the shell
@@michaelkegg7846 If you've got the blu-rays, the bonus features go hard
why not the 2045 version as well?
😭😢😓😨😰😱
Gone too soon. JUST TOO SOON.
Rest in peace, Konan.
I think my favorite voice she did was Admiral Merlwyb from FFXIV's Japanese voice cast.
I really need to watch Ghost in the Shell one of these days...
Oh I didn't even know about that one! Never got around to playing FFXIV
I like her Chun-Li voice for SF3
Hellll yeah, that's one of her more obscure ones
She was Ana mazing voice actress, she will be missed. She was amazing in JoJo!
Agreed, I love her as Lisa lisa
Yeah, when I heard that she passed away I was going no we haven’t got a Fate/Hollow Ataraxia anime adoption who’s gonna voice caster now for the Japanese side because even though I do watch English dubs do still enjoy the Japanese voice actors
I really liked her as caster too! Whoever they recast has got some big shoes to fill
Some years back Toonami aired the gits 2nd episode in Japanese audio with subtitles of course. On April Fools day.
@@guadalupev30 I had no idea and IMO they should've just kept it that way LOL
Arise's Motoko is Maaya Sakamoto though. and she's also perfect.
Perfect indeed. Arise isn't my favorite version of GITS but I always felt like people criticized it too much
@@MixingMediaYT feel like current linkin park critic lol
It's good on it's own, I like it. I just like SAC more.
@@HammyXs for sure! Nothing beats SAC for me

Thanks, man! Appreciate you watching.
zero's line sounded so much better when i was a kid
I went the other way and played the game cuz I saw the clip of him screaming
Medea... She was Medea from Fate/Stay Night. One of my favorites... T-T
She was great as carmilla too
takarazuka really one of the most influential on the progression of japanese woman in the entertainment industry, we need more video about, and rip legend thank you very much atsuko-san
That's interesting to hear! It was fun watching clips of it while making this - the shows they put on are so elaborate
Thank you for making this video, I can tell you poured a lot of passions into it. Would love to see you make a video about Akio Otsuka next, he's one of my favorite VA and he voices Batou in GitS.
Thanks for watching! I'd love to cover Akio otsuka. He was great as thorkell I'm Vineland saga too
...motoko... 😭
I feel you man
Wow! She must have been a great voice actress back in her day, since I was only in elementary school.
Never heard of her, but what a badass.
Hell yeah man
RIP, Tanaka san. Rewatching GiTS and it’s kind of a bitter sweet experience. She is forever the great and mighty Shōsa, rest in power!
What a fucking blow, I had no idea until now
I like Major, she is very women indeed and unlike most anime chicks that are girly and look like a girl, their's no denying she's a lady, and a dominant one at that too. For crying out loud, in the manga she even has her own harem!
The major is one of a kind!
@@MixingMediaYT Keep it up with the anime videos! Great work. Can you please review Watamote?
losing Motoko and Flamme on the same day was a bit too much for me. I was depressed for a few days ngl...
Hope you're feeling better now. I was in the same boat
Dude this year was insanely depressing for losing talent in general.
Besides Japanese Talent like Tanaka, we lost Akira Toriyama, the Voice Actress for Chibi Maruko Chan, James Earl Jones, And Shelly Duval
I know im forgetting some other talents here but 2024 has been an insanely depressing year in the entertainment industry. Matter of fact, this decade in general hasn’t really been the best for entertainment.
They say it always happens in 3s but it really does feel like it's happening in 9s
Speaking as one of Azur Lane's commanders, she was the voice of both HMS Hood and the Kriegsmarine's Tirpitz, both cornerstone characters in that game for years.
We lost one of our best.
That we did. Put the flags at half mast, commander
R.I.P Atsuku tanaku.
I wasn’t familiar with her, but god rest her soul. At least, that illness won’t follow her into the afterlife.
😞🕊️🙏 a powerful lady in the anime
That she was. Tough to see her go but we'll always have her legacy
Great loss, I'll always will also love Mimi Woods..
For sure! Glad we still have her English VA
@@MixingMediaYT great vids keep the good work!
@@HotComicsTv thanks! Appreciate you watching
She is the Caster Medea on Fate series, from Fate / Stay Night to Fate / Grand Order
And we lost Sayuri too.
That one breaks my heart. She was way too young to pass on. feels like Japanese talent has been dropping like flies recently
Recommended Lore/Anime following the '90s' theme would be Zoids.
Oh that's a good one! Zoids was one of those shows that I barely ever watched but I built so many of the toys
That's the wrong Sailor Jupiter. Emi voiced the original. Not the (godawful) Crystal one.
Thanks for the call out! Sailor moon isn't my area of expertise
SEIYUU never die. They just get recast.
And with Maaya Sakamoto they've got a great option
R.I.P
Lupin III IS LEGENDARY
Getting this news 10 days late was not a fun thing to find out.
I'm with ya, this wasnt the GitS video I originally set out to make but after I found out Atsuko passed I had to memorialize her
Rip
Then we lost the narrator of Dbz
What?!? I missed that one... 2024 really is trying to break records in the worst way lol
Damn 😢
I love you wearing the Ghost in the Shell T-shirt for this video, tho Arise is the least favourite season from the series for me
Tbh it's not my favorite either but I think the outfit she's wearing looks really cool lol
Least we still have the English Major.
*knocks on wood*
Doesent she voice the pteranodon from abaranger?
Oh because he’s black: also I’m joking I know you didn’t mean it like that
🪦 🛐✝️🤍🪽🌤️🌞😇
