| I've only watched Perfect Blue, and I found it to be okay. Nothing too mind-blowing, but it was an interesting watch. |

JD2411 said: he's a hack writer and his works are pretentious Boy, If Satoshi Kon was a hack writer, the rest of the anime industry must be absolute worthless trash then. |
| I haven't seen anything by him yet, but Millennium Actress and Tokyo Godfathers are on my PTW. |
| A person who was a damn near genius. His work was completely abstract, and unpredictable. There is no telling what he would make if he were alive right now. |

| It's not like Jun medea is that great anyway... |
 Anime is good, fucking deal with it. |
| He's my favourite anime movie director! I mean, I like a few other anime movies more than his works but those directors have only done one or two movies I really liked. I have like four movies I really enjoy by Kon. I don't really like his manga but I have yet to read Dream Fossil >< My favourite work from him is Millennium Actress, followed by Memories episode 1 and Perfect Blue. His Christmas movie was also amazing but not worth a rewatch from me. |

| One of the few people whose death makes me legitimately sad. |
| He made some of my favourite movies. Will wait patiently for Dreaming Machine. Hopefully we will see it within 5 years. |

| My favorite director and I consider both Perfect Blue and Millennium Actress to be my favorite anime movies. I still remember the day he passed away. I was in my first year of university and decided to do an allnighter for an exam I had the next day. I decided to browse the Internet a bit at some time and came across the tragic news. Needless to say it ruined pretty much my motivation and my mood for the days to come. |

Vanisher said: The second half of Paranoia Agent was terrible, made me want to stay away from him. Agree with this as well. Paranoia Agent had perhaps 2 brilliant episodes a few mediocre ones and a few terrible ones. Tokyo Godfathers was entertaining and I enjoyed the premise , however part of it was boring and honestly could have been made more entertaining. My only complaint from the two works I've seen of him is that his writing is a bit .... up and down the place. It's either brilliant or it's a disaster , no in-between almost. I honestly think he must just perhaps plan out things better before jumping ahead with his ideas. (Just my opinion) **Edit** Damn didn't realize he had passed away. However I will still say that I think he should have perhaps just planned his ideas out a bit more before going ahead with them. |

| Pure genius. The way he portrayed his work was one-of-a-kind. In my opinion, his best work was Perfect Blue as it brought everything that he was known to produce in one movie. Sad he is no longer with us. |

| It's natural for a person to deny he's a failure as a human being. That's why he searches for somebody who is more miserable than himself. That's why so much animosity exists on the internet. Those who aren't able to find a more miserable person, turn to the internet and call other people losers, even though they've never met. Just to make themselves feel superior. isn't that pathetic? There's a sense of security that comes from speaking badly of someone else. But that isn't true salvation. — Tatsuhiro Satou YandereTheEmo said: The only thing more pathetic than quoting someone you know nothing about, is quoting yourself. |

But then... the second half, the simple fact that you can skip 90% of it shows how stupid it was, I don't understand how can people defend that. |

Best in your opinion and a lot of other people's If WD doesn't want to watch some shows because dislike of genre then he doesn't have to but obviously he can't say anime in those genres are bad. It's a double edged sword, I can't really say that long running battle shounen are shit. |

The second half is full of random cases with random characters and it's full of pretentious and crappy analogies/symbolisms about things we already knew or suspected. And no, you can't skip the first half. |

And no, you can't skip the first half. The first half is full of random cases with random characters as well, and as far as I know the "pretentious" and "crappy" analogies/symbolisms don't simply start to appear at the second half, they are an intrinsic part of the whole series. The only other difference I can point there aside from the mentioned is that Kon becomes more explicit and over the top in his comedic side. So episodes like |
| I highly advise you watch Millennium Actress and Perfect Blue as those are probably his best movies. Paranoia Agent is really good too along with Tokyo Godfathers. I didn't dig Paprika at all, but that's just me. His style is very unique and easily identified. I'd recommend any of his works simply because of how much his style influences the stuff he creates. |
"Be the change you wish to see in the world."  |
| Satoshi Kon is my idol. I have watched all of his films, Paranoia Agent and Memories. He is a God. I think he's true only successor is Yuasa. And he is better than Hayao Miyazaki. Still hopelessly waiting for his last film to be completed by Madhouse. Can't say enough great things to him. |

| Well Perfect Blue is my third fave anime of all time as of right now and all his works were great... And I made his name the password to unlock my phone although I have sense changed it. So, yeah.. |

| I like him. |

| Extremely overrated |
| I sometimes watch chinese cartoons/stuff and share unsolicited opinions. |

Actually, I only watched Only Yesterday but reviews say that other unrecognized Ghibli titles such as Pom Poko and My Neighbors the Yamadas are also good He is better in fleshing his characters than Miyazaki as some sources say |
| Twitter and it's consequences had been a disaster for the human race |
| I'm actually shocked that you take Pom Poko and My neighbors the Yamadas into account, and not Grave of the fireflies. That one is a must. |
| Isao Takahata is always my favourite. But we're talking about Satoshi Kon here. I love Paprika because of the atmosphere, it was intense at times and mild at some other, the changing of pace was masterly done. His other films are really good as well, perhaps too good. I did not like Paranoia Agent as much because I have a dislike for series due to the story gets stretched out while it could be done with in a shorter time and made more impact, yet there's one episode that was absolutely fantastic and hilarious, you'll know which one it is when you'll see it. Have not gotten round to see Millennium Actress yet. It's his last work I haven't seen so I'm kinda putting it off. Also read the manga he created. Opus was really good, on par with Uzumaki imo. |
Haruhi ism  It's fun, isn't it? |
| Favorite thing he worked on is probably Patlabor 2, which I know he storyboarded it. Favorite Directorial work is Paranoia Agent, followed by Tokyo Godfathers. |
| Signatures Suck |
| I sadly haven't seen any mainly because of after hearing of Perfect Blue and how very dark that is I try to avoid his works. Really not my taste but I want to eventually see Tokyo Godfathers,maybe during Christmas I will. But right now I don't have an opinion. |
| My personal favorite director... he was taken from us too soon. If Madhouse has a soul they will finish Dream Machine one day. |
 "The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself." -Friedrich Nietzsche |
| He was a horrible business man, madhouse even bankrupt. I appreciate his works thou. |
 |
| He is dead. |
