British anime reference book author Helen McCarthy wrote on Bluesky on Wednesday that anime industry veteran Jan Scott Frazier died on Tuesday.
As a freelance director, Frazier directed episodes of Susie-chan & Marvy and worked on the development of original TV series projects.
Frazier has worked in the anime industry in Japan for 13 years in a number of different positions, including as a producer.
She joined Artland’s production department in 1989, making her the first foreigner to work in the production department of a Japanese animation studio.
