 R.I.P. Satoshi Kon Satoshi Kun has passed away at age 47. I don't watch much anime really, but this guy was a true master. He was up there with Miyazaki and the like. I am pretty bummed out, but I guess he has one more film that will be released posthumously. Sorry if this doesn't warrant a thread, but some others here must enjoy his work. http://www.nypress.com/blog-7137-rip-satoshi-kon-%281963-2010%29.html

Re: R.I.P. Satoshi Kon I watched Tokyo Godfathers a few weeks ago. It was on TV here. Really good movie.

Re: R.I.P. Satoshi Kon It's a shame he passed, Perfect Blue is an amazing movie. Although I wasn't so enamoured with Paranoia Agent.

Re: R.I.P. Satoshi Kon I don't really watch that much anime either but I noticed he directed and was part of the animators for Perfect Blue. That's a great film and I really should watch it again.
His other films that he worked on seem interesting as well.

Re: R.I.P. Satoshi Kon WHAT? NO... I CAN'T BELIEVE IT. OH NO... damn cancer!  I really admired his work, I saw all of his movies, all of them are my favorites, especially Paranoia Agent and Tokyo Godfathers. I was waiting for his new work: The Dream Machine. R.I.P. (I think I'm going to watch all Satoshi Kon movies tonight...)

Re: R.I.P. Satoshi Kon What.  I might marathon some of his work as well since I really enjoy it all.

Re: R.I.P. Satoshi Kon R.I.P. He wrote the script for my favorite film from Memories:  I've yet to watch Paprika. I've been meaning to watch it for many years now.

Re: R.I.P. Satoshi Kon I've never really heard of him but I've seen some of his stuff. Guess I'll look for the rest of it.

Re: R.I.P. Satoshi Kon Thanks for that. I saw that he had posted something shortly before his death, but I didn't know it had been translated.
