* Ken Ishikawa, the creator of ''[[Getter Robo]]''. Though he did leave some notes behind, they were apparently only for Getter Robo Hien - a prequel. The cliffhanger ending of ''Getter Robo Āḥ'', the latest series chronologically, has yet to be resolved. |

* The director of ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam The 08th MS Team]]'', Takeyuki Kanda, died while the OVA was still being produced.

* ''[[Guyver]]'' fans also fear this with Yoshiki Takaya. We don't know much about his habits and health but since he's been doing his great work since the 80s, works a monthly manga, has no assistants, and takes breaks, we fear that he may cease to be before the manga ends.

* [[Kaneto Shiozawa]], the Japanese voice of the [[Pirate Ninja Zombie Robot|Cyborg Ninja]] in the first ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]'', died of a brain concussion [[Death by Falling Over|after falling down a flight of stairs]] on May 10, 2000.

* The [[Legacy of Kain]] series was supposed to have one more game to tie all the lose ends up, however the departure of series writer Amy Hennig for [[Uncharted Drakes Fortune|uncharted]] [[Incredibly Lame Pun|waters]] and the death of [[Tony Jay]], one of the major voice actors, means that the series is now in limbo. |
