Died of cerebral hemmorage at the age of 37?? Man.. that's sad.

I wonder how the line will go on? His designs were top notch.

This is so sad... I guess, the Fewture Getter Gs won't come true...

Well, there's hope. He did say he finished the sketches for the Getter G team. Combined with the experience from the current Getter team, probably Artstorm can pull it off. What I want to see are his sketches for Grendizer. They didn't show it last time...but he did have some.

Well, it depends on his arrangement with Artstorm. There is a big possibility that Artstorm owns the design and they can push thru with it if they want to. There is one problem I do see, which is, he won't be the main sculptor. Which means we will not see a Getter G done by his hands. Just his designs. Whatever happens, I do hope to see the getter g team come out.

Here're are some of the design sketches Taku Sato made before he passed away.

BTW for the curious, the designer of the Fewture 1901 Mazinger was Nirasawa Yasushi.

Nirasawa is another great artist although I'm not really fond of his robot designs. I like his organic monster designs...they're pretty much out of this world. Why don't they get Sorayama to design the next SRs....hheheh... ;D. I'd post some of his designs here but the mods will probably ban me for it.

Well, the guy is a master of airbrush and renders realistic artworks. Here's a link to some of his more...mild...works. I'll just put the NSFW sign for some people who can't take it. Google will give you more of his "perverse" works. It's more like fantasy actually. For some, he's a genius. Sony hires him to do some of their robotic designs, too. Mods feel free to correct me if I broke any rule.
