| Awwww I loved Tokyo Godfathers and Paranoia Agent :( . I can't believe a guy like him died so suddenly...R.I.P... |
| RIP Satoshi Kon |
| This is very saddening news considering I've loved everything of his that I've gotten a chance to see. He will be greatly missed, R.I.P. |
| I really liked his works that I've seen. This is very sad news. Rest in peace. |
| How long would it take to earn 50 million yen, Karasawa? - Katsuya No longer than it would take to get to the bank, provided I have a gun. -Karasawa I'm through talking with you. -Katsuya |
| R.I.P., true visionary. |
| Oh wow.....i hope it isn't offical but R.I.P i truly loved and enjoyed his movies and i really did like Paranoia Agent. He truly brought great films into the world. |

     |
| I'm just sad , VERY sad .. Rest in Pease , Kon San . |
| R.I.P. |

| I find this incredibly depressing... Kon was one of the most influential directors in recent years and I think everybody owes it to themselves to go watch more of his works. It's hard to imagine no more works like Perfect Blue, Paranoia Agent, Millenium Actress, Tokyo Godfathers, Paprika.... everything he did was top quality. |
 I am a banana. |
| i watched 2 of his creations, Paprika & Paranoia Agent.. i love Paprika a lot! will find and watch his other creations as said by others, Millennium Actress, Perfect Blue & Tokyo Godfathers.. Rest in peace Y___Y |
| OMFG!OMFG!OMFG!OMFG!OMFG!OMFG!OMFG!OMFG!OMFG!OMFG!OMFG!OMFG!OMFG!OMFG!OMFG!OMFG!!! Oh god why?! |
Earth gets angry after a kick in the face. |
| I really am starting to believe that 2012 is the end of the world. God taking away all the awesome people of the earth to spare them the horrors of the apocalypse seems to be the only explanation for all this madness. |
  |
| Paprika opened my eyes to his work and Millennium Actress will always be one of my favorite films. This loss really stings. RIP. |
 |
| I know I'll feel sad when the day comes that Miyazaki passes away, but it'll be okay in a way because at least he lived a full life, right? But Kon was so young and had so much more left to give. One of animation's few auteurs. What a shame to see him leave us so suddenly. I hadn't heard any bad news about his health before this. This post might come across as selfish and insensitively entitled (as if he lived just to please us with his films) but I don't want to change a word of it. |
| what a waste. all that anime that will never be made. |
 |
| I've watched his movies (Perfect Blue, Millenium Actress, Tokyo Godfathers and Paprika) long before I became an anime fan. I've got to know his name and love his works and respect him as a film maker and not just as an anime creator. His death now at such a young age, (knowing that if he had lived on, he would have given us so much more) is a huge blow against the whole movies industry and not just the anime one. Because not just in the anime genre but in the whole movies industry, he was one of the few remaining artists at a time when movie making has degraded to adapting Proven Source Materials for sure moneymakers. However I guess everyone dies in the end and all that remains is the work of their life. So I can't be too sad when I consider that with the films that he left us with, he will never be forgotten and always loved and respected. RIP Satoshi Kon. |
| Signature? I ain't got no signature! I don't need no signature! I don't have to show you any stinkin' signature! |
| Not affected by all. x_x I'm sad for you but i don't know him so much (Just Perfect Blue watched). |
 |
| Sad news. He was one of my favourite directors and a true visionary. His works could be real mind benders but that was part of their appeal. A true modern genius. R.I.P |
| "Satoshi Kon's death of pancreatic cancer was reported on August 24, 2010. His death came less than two months before his 47th birthday." Very sad >__< A real loss for the anime fans and for Madhouse too. R.I.P. |
     |
| The fact that this genius' time is up after having only released 6 works proper is practically criminal. It's such a tragedy... looks like I'll have to hurry up and go get Perfect Blue and Tokyo Godfathers now. Also, I wonder what's going to happen to The Dream Machine now? Depending on how much progress Kon has left behind, it would be a fantastic tribute to him were another director to finish it in his stead. |
| I can't believe this. ;_____________; RIP ♥ |
 |
| One of the big genius of animation has passed away, R.I.P. Satoshi Kon. |
| RIP. |
| ;_; upon all of many directors out there why must him ;A; RIP |
| OMG... RIP... I like Tokyo Godfathers. |
  |
| Cut down in the prime of his artistic career... and its not like Anime direction can afford the loss either. This is most unfortunate. |
I pulled into Nazareth, was feeling 'bout half passed dead. I just needed to find a place, where I can lay my head. "Hey mister, can you tell me, where a man might find a bed?" He just grinned, shook my hand, and "No" was all he said. |
| Sad news indeed. R.I.P to the director of Millennium actress and Perfect Blue, two of my most fave anime of all time. |
We are the United. Even in defeat we stand united. |
| HOLY SHIT ! I'm shocked.. |
| That's really sad... I'm probably an hardcore fan of Satoshi Kon but I'm still shocked by his death. R.I.P. man. |
dtshyk said: Bad morning. It's a terrible wake-up news.... Seriously, what is this blasphemy. This can't be fucking true. Anyone, anyone but him. RIP! I will love you and your work for all eternity. I feel so sick and depressed. I hope they'll still air Yume Miru Kikai in honour of Satoshi Kon. |
| R.I.P |
 |
Eiko said: I hope they'll still air Yume Miru Kikai in honour of Satoshi Kon. It will probably end up being his magnum opus. The final work of greats tends to end up being their best. |
| This man was an absolute genius. His work will be greatly missed <3 R.I.P. ~ |
  |
| rest in peace |
| It's a sad day for anime. Satoshi Kon was a visionary who had so much left to give. Rest in peace. |
| I'm still reeling from this news. I'm so gutted its unbelieveable =[ |
| >_< |
| ANN has a copy of a message titled 'Farewell' that was posted on Kon's official website. In it, Satoshi talks about the day (May 18th) he was told that his cancer was terminal and had spread to his bones. He was also told by doctors that at most, he only had half a year left. Kon also spoke about meeting with MADHOUSE founder Masao Maruyama about the final anime film he was directing, and said: When I conveyed my concerns for Yume-Miru Kikai to Mr. Maruyama, he said, "It's fine. Don't worry, we'll do whatever it takes." I cried. I cried aloud. Suffice to say, they will ensure that his final film is completed. Kon ended his message with: With feelings of gratitude for all that is good in this world, I put down my pen. Well, I'll be leaving now. Satoshi Kon I wanted to cry buckets over this last part... |
| D: Now my only hope for good anime film is Shinkai. I hope he live long. Really bad news. His works is one of the few anime that I really own. R.I.P |
 |
| What a legend. That last message of his makes me very sad, knowing how he bravely accepted his death. Being told you have only 6 months to live- can't even begin to imagine the shock... I've only seen two of Satoshi Kon's films, Millenium Actress and Tokyo Godfathers, but they were two of the deepest films I've ever seen. RIP Satoshi Kon. |
| NOOOOOOOOOOO! D: I can't believe in this TT^TT |
 |
| That last message was really sad to read. Again: he will be missed. |
