Farewell, Kon Satoshi (1963-2010)



Japanese animation director Kon Satoshi, who gave us such unforgettable films as Perfect Blue, Millenium Actress, Tokyo Godfathers and Paprika, passed away on the 24th of August, 2010, from pancreatic cancer. He was only 46.

No doubt the animation world has just lost one of its brightest stars, for he was certainly among one of the greats – Miyazaki, Oshii, and his mentor Otomo.

Farewell, Satoshi. Your spirit will endure in the brilliance and beauty of your wonderful animated films.
