In Memory of Zac Bertschy
The morning of May 22 seemed like any other morning, at first glance. Just a simple day in our new normal, nothing too out of the ordinary. And then the word broke that Zac Bertschy from Anime News Network had passed away. Without the groundwork that had been laid in for ANN and programs like the ANNCast, a show such as this would never have been made into reality, and we join his friends, family, and colleagues in mourning over his passing. An incredible member of the anime community is no longer with us, but his spirit will continue to live on, be it through polarizing honesty or sharing a love of riffing terrible B-movies to survive through.
“Someday we’ll find it – that rainbow connection. The lovers, the dreamers, and me.”
