Collection: In Memoriam
Images dedicated to popular artists, voice actors, directors, and other popular figures who have passed away. When adding to the pool, also tag the seiyuu/director/artist to clarify who is being honored.
Use Rest in Peace (pool #21068) for posts referencing character deaths and mourning for other characters expressing grief over someone else.
This pool is currently being discussed in the forums with a proposal to remove all seiyuu/director/artist tag that doesn't explicitly show them in the images. See topic #18550
