I just found from a friend on Facebook that Satoshi Kon, creator of such anime movies as Millennium Actress, Tokyo Godfathers, Perfect Blue, and Paprika, as well as having created one of my favorite anime, Paranoia Agent, has just died from Cancer.
I usually don't cry when someone I know dies(go ahead; call me heartless, I really don't care right now) but I have been crying so much for the last hour...This man was a huge inspiration to me. I love his work so much...His abilities as an animator were just flawless. I mean just look at this image http://0.tqn.com/d/worldfilm/1/0/l/s/10.jpg (http://0.tqn.com/d/worldfilm/1/0/l/s/10.jpg)
47 years old that's way too young. I really just don't know what else to say...
:cry Farewell, Mr. Kon...

Jeez...what's with everyone dying this week?! :blink: :slap:
I know death happens a lot but...wow...that's just strange...
Anyway, I unfortunately never heard of him or anything, but it's sad when someone young goes like that. :( :cry

What? Kon??? Dead???? Oh no... No, no, NO! :cry This can't be happening! Paprika and Paranoia Agent are some of my top favorite animes... I can't believe that he is actually gone... I DON'T want to believe it... *sighs* Sorry... I cherished Satoshi Kon's work passionately, putting him up there Hayao Miyazaki as my favorite anime directors and I just cannot believe that he is actually gone... A few days before 47 too... *takes his hat off* I never knew until tonight... Goodbye, Satoshi... I will miss you greatly... :(
