Some worrying news about the creator of Kimagure Orange Road: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2016-11-12/digital-mang a-kimagure-orange-road-matsumoto-condition-growing-worse/.10 8746

Matsumoto's condition also touches on, oddly enough, the subject of blue LED light adversely affecting the brain. Matsumoto can't even use the computer now because of the negative effect blue LED light has on his current brain condition. If tweaking the monitor doesn't work, someone needs to dig out an old CRT for him-at least that ancient tech is totally free from that problem.

Kimagure Orange Road is a real 80's classic. KOR was once a staple of the western anime scene, as archived discussions show, but now is something of a back (orange?) road to be enjoyed by those in search of it's special blend of nostalgia and 80s charm. This article is a nice portrait of Matsumoto, his struggles, and his old stomping grounds that influenced KOR: http://www..japantimes.co.jp/life/2011/08/28/general/the-bes t-of-his-years/#.WCqKnSa350w

It's sad to think about this reversal, given the comeback Matsumoto had made after many years lost to health troubles, and here's to him making a full recovery.
