In February of 2023, we learned that we lost an icon of not just
manga and anime, but a pillar of otaku fandom as we know it:
Leiji Matsumoto. And so this month, we celebrated him and his
beautiful Leijiverse by having a fan-made Memorial Livestream.
For those that missed out on it, this is the audio from said
livestream, in handy podcast form! The first part of the stream I
was joined by Leiji Matsumoto translator and superfan, Zack
Davisson, as we give some background on Matsumoto’s live and
work. After that, I reached out to the Leijiverse fandom to get
audio and written submissions on not only how Matsumoto’s work
touched our hearts, but also significantly changed some of our
lives. Get those tissues ready, because there’s sure to be some
tears shed in this heartfelt, extra-long episode!
