Satoshi Kon, 1963-2010

Satoshi Kon Acclaimed Japanese director Satoshi Kon passed away on Tuesday at the age of 46. He was best known for the anime films Perfect Blue, Paprika, Millennium Actress, and Tokyo Godfathers as well as the TV series Paranoia Agent. You can read Amazon contributor Charles Solomon's remembrance in The Los Angeles Times.  Kon himself wrote a farewell letter in which he discusses his final months of living with pancreatic cancer (English translation here). It's heartbreaking to read, and ends simply:

With my heart full of gratitude for everything good in the world, I'll put down my pen.

Now excuse me, I have to go.

Satoshi Kon

I winced slightly.I was under the impression that owing to the careful
way I brushed my hair across the top of my head the thinness referred to by
Japp was quite unnoticeable.However,Japp had never been remarkable for tact
where I was concerned,so I put a good face upon it and agreed that we were
non of us getting any youger.
