This hurt. I have yet to dislike anything I've ever seen from him... Perfect Blue was one of the earliest 'serious' animes I watched, and it was great. Tokyo Godfathers is far and away one of my favorites.

I just had a Satoshi Kon marathon - never watched Millenium Actress before. It's a fantastic piece of work. It's a great shame that he died before he could contribute more to the medium.

Kon's last blog post.

A big rambling, beautiful and very sad piece of writing. This was shite news by all accounts.

Millenium Actress was fantastic. The man definitely left an indelible imprint on anime... and yeah, it is a shame he couldn't stick around longer. Having watched my own dad go through a fight with pancreatic cancer, I can't really blame Kon for not fighting it more aggressively.

As an aside, could a mod please fix or remove the italics tags from the topic description? Thanks.
