Mr March Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I just read the news at my film haunts. This is terrible news and is a loss for anime. Kon was one of the few in his industry truly breaking from the norm and producing some groundbreaking productions much like Mamoru Oshii did for his generation and Hayao Miyazaki for the generation before that. Anime has truly lost a vital voice with Kon's passing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gui Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I have never been really fond of Perfect Blue, but I really liked all of his other productions – particularly Paranoia Agent Too bad the anime industry lost such a greatly talented director...

Renato Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I just got an email about this. I'm as angry about this as I am sad. He was only 46! I loved Tokyo Godfathers. The man's movies were perfect for showing people uninterested in animation that the medium had so many possibilities. And his manga work with Katsuhiro Otomo is worth checking out too. RIP. You were one of the people I was counting on to pull anime out of the mire (I believe) it's in. This is a major blow to creativity. Alas, you will be missed.

The Shade Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Saw the news this morning and thought I was still asleep. Quickly checked out ANN and they confirmed it. R.I.P. I liked all of your movies and this really is a sad for anime fans everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 A friend just sent me a link to a translation of Kon's final words, Apparently it was pancreatic cancer, and he only had a few months after finding out. http://www.makikoitoh.com/journal/satoshi-kons-last-words Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr March Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Wow, it really was a stream of consciousness like a philosophy text. Very poignant and sad. I'm so sorry for the way in which he died. I wouldn't wish that on anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindenathus Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 What a shame. I thought "Paranoia Agent" was unusually brilliant and a fine counterpoint to FLCL. Satoshi Kon, may you find the joys in the hereafter that evaded you in the world of the living. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scream Man Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 I just started rewatching Paranoia Agent after hearing this. Wonderful and creative series, truly one of the best mind-fart animes i can think of. Bravo once again sir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
