Jan was a regular on the Thursday night Discord chat for the Old School Animation club. She often called in from her hospital bed. Her passing was not unexpected but is still mourned. We will sit shiva for her on Thursday.

Memories of some damn amazing times.

Wouldn't it be great to collect all #JanScottFrazier interviews and writing and publish a memorial volume, any profits going to her family or to charity? It would need an editor who knows the US fan and pro scenes well, but it would be a wonderful piece of #anime history.

Oh yes. She'll be missed.

R.I.P. to a legend.

She was a trailblazer and a legend. Never met her, but deeply respected her for what she accomplished. She will be missed. R.I.P.

Wow so sorry to hear of her passing.

Jan had the patience of a saint with people and will be missed.

And the tongue of a sailor, but only privately and only when provoked 😉

Sorry to hear, Jan's old blog about working in the anime industry was a great read. Hope fans remember her achievements. May she rest in peace.

my condolences, i worked with her a bit in the convention scene, always had a great time around her.

I wish we didn't have such a shit healthcare 'system' that made her life unnecessarily harder.

jasonrmerrill.bsky.social•117 days ago

So very sorry to hear this.

nicknickgoose.bsky.social•117 days ago

Had the pleasure of meeting Jan twice during the 90s at AX in Anaheim (96 and 98). Enjoyed listening to her talk about her experiences as a gaijin in the anime industry, and she did so with her unforgettable wit and humor. I am so sad to hear she passed away. 💔
