    She died of complications from meningitis and sepsis in case you didn’t read the article. She was hospitalized from malnutrition, but it wasn’t what killed her.

      After appearing in Thomas Dekker’s 2016 horror film Jack Goes Home, Chase largely withdrew from acting. In the GoFundMe page, Hernandez refers to various difficulties encountered by the actor, including bullying and a falling out with her family. Chase, he writes, “struggled to find safety and happiness in downtown LA” but that the two “found moments of happiness and hope” until her recent health issues. According to TMZ, Chase was taken to a hospital earlier this month for malnutrition.

        It os entirely possible that her “boyfriend” is a scam artist trying to get money out of her death. SAG has her funeral expenses covered actually. And her family has said that they’ve been trying to find her for a pretty long time. Unknown if there was issues between them and her but there are a lot of unknowns.

        But, don’t donate to his GoFundMe. Her final expenses are fully covered by the actors union.

    Jesus fucking christ, what a horrible way to go at such a young age. I loved her voice not only as Lilo but Shihiro in Spirited Away. God damn, she’ll be missed.

      *Chihiro

      I never watched the English dub of Spirited Away because In not a dub person (I didn’t know it was even her in it!) but I loved Chase’s performance in Lilo and Stitch and that makes me want to check it out after the fact.

      From my perspective Spirited Away was one of the movies that really solidified anime as “a thing” in the west, and that’s kinda huge.

        Studio Ghibli films are generally better with the English dubs - they put serious effort in, and it shows.

        In Spirited Away the English dub is far better than the original IMO.

        Outside of Ghibli, I avoid English dubs.

          Ghibli dubs are undoubtedly the best in the business and have some serious talent.

          But I still like the subs more. That’s just preference I suppose.

          A blessing in disguise, perhaps.

          If the English release of Nausicaa had been done well, Ghibli may have continued allowing foreign distributors to make major changes to their movies under the remit of “internationalisation”

          But they screwed it up, which lead directly to the now-famous “no edits” policy.

          In the long-term I think that fuck-up really helped Ghibli to cement their reputation in the west for making good stuff.

            I suppose my point is more that I’ve reservations with believing Miramax simply made a series of oopsies (still took the money, though), vs the far more likely: their parent co (Disney) internationally burned its release.

            Hell, it was so slack-ass, so devoid of effort, it screams “slap in the face”. Never mind that it’s indefensibly illegal —Disney no doubt was betting they’d skate at worst, 'cuz: Murica.

            Impressive, from an academic point that, to this day, so few’ve seen the insane box art for that “fuck you” robbery Disney pulled (by proxy), much less are even aware of this event at all.

            Whomever they paid to bury it deeper than fish shit really took it to the enth. 🧏🏽‍♂️

              I’m not familiar with this situation, what did Miramax change about the Western release of Nausicaa?

        Ghibli films are the only foreign language films that I watch dubbed, because the English voice casts are incredible
