Thank you Mr. Kon for forever changing my life with the art you brought into this world. You may have passed on but your essence will live forever! By art we live.
"...l. As we've come to know from his extraordinary final letter, Satoshi Kon was a man of grace as well as genius, and of the money his films made, he graciously said that they got what they deserved. But I don't have Kon-sensei's grace, and in sadness and anger I say, no, they did not get nearly what they deserved."
"…in his own country, Kon couldn't count on one-twentieth the audience a Ghibli film could; not one-fiftieth, not even one-hundredth. From the perspective of a foreign critic, Kon was so neglected by Japanese audiences he hardly registered with them at all. ..'

I can't stop thinking about him I was just talking to my sister about his new film a week ago. And it's embarrassing when people place him as an anime director I know it's his medium but he was a great filmmaker period. I think it's kinda disrespectful to have him as the "such and such" to or of anime. He was him. And his works belong up there with masterpiece works like lain, boogiepop phantom, monster, evangelion, patlabor, flcl, summer wars etc. I'm sorry RIP.
FUCK FUCKFUCKFUCK....shit....He passed away yesterday 24/08/2010 due to heart attack. I wanna say rest in peace and all that but......Bloody hell.....One of the crappiest things is not finishing stuff your in the middle of (for the creator I mean)...T_T
Rest In Peace Satoshi-Sama. Another genius has faded away from this world. It was shocking to hear that you've passed away. Thank you for everything. You will remain as one of the most remarkable directors in the anime industry, especially among us fans.
I love Satoshi Kons works! Ive seen from his first movie to his anime seiries Paranoia Agent, the art work in each thing he does is simply more diffrent then big eyed girls in most anime movies. I love how he keeps people guessing as well makes you think. I must say the man is a genius! x]
@captionx look! I love satoshi kon, he was born in 1963, he's younger than a really eldest guy who loves young girls and womens too much in his movie collections, hayao miyazaki, born in 1941, go blame on him, because he's the one who make american thinks he's famous, but he's pathetically too old!, what is he a disney loving fan, dr. seuss loving fan, children's book loving fan, i'm not a fan of hayao miyazaki, he really makes me contagious and embarrassed, and besides, now i'm a fan of satoshi
@hpmendes and why's he put the sex, nudity, profanity, violence, and hideous bloody gore for adults or mature as rated X? why not put up with no blood and no nudes, that means it's for kids like satoshi's millenium actress the PG movie, means it's for family and children, right? so why don't you send a mail to your biggest fan of satoshi kon, not a fan of blood, violence, profanity and nudity, means kids hate to see this, they're too young, also, and I hope satoshi feels sad and sorry about it
@poopybooyah If you loved Satoshi Kon so much, you'd know the project he was working on before he died (The Dream Machine) was a Children's movie. He said he wanted to make a film that kids and adults could get into.
@moriya2k2 I am so shocked about satoshi, how did he died with his pancreatic cancer? I'm heartbroken, but who's gonna take care of the japanese animation studios?

And as a person he's so interesting, he's kinda weird but I think that's why he's so cool!!!
Especially when he took out a cigarette, major coolness! If I met him, I'd ask so many questions about Paranoia Agent!
.......I think I wanna marry this guy now!
Am I the only one???
