During his life, Kon was responsible for a numer of high-profile animated efforts featuring his distinctive themes and styles, not least the movies Perfect Blue and Paprika, as well as the Paranoia Agent television series. I'm sure it goes without saying that Satoshi Kon's influence will be immensely missed by anime fans around the world, and our thoughts go out to his friends and family with this tragic news." |
| I feel such great sadness. So many people have just lost someone they so dearly admired. Satoshi Kon was without a doubt one of the best minds working in the anime and film industry today... this news is just so sudden it's hard to take in. Rest in peace Satoshi Kon. I can't believe this has happened... |
| He was actually 46 (he was born in October), just for correctness. Anyway, an incredibly sad and depressing news. He was the best animation director of his generation, maybe one of the best of all times, and who knows how much he could have still done. Such an injustice. |
 |
| I can't believe it! And he wasn't even that old...and the weird thing is my mom found out before I did! T_T I miss him already... |
 |
| RIP SATOSHI KON- you are an inspiration to all who were blessed enough to view you films. you are my favorite director and i will forever watch your films and thank god that a mind like yours was put on our planet. |
