24/08/2010:
Director Satoshi Kon passes away
Perfect Blue and Paprika director dies, aged 46 




This is breaking news just coming in as I type this, emanating from the Twitter 
account of GAINAX's Yasuhiro Takeda and later confirmed by Madhouse's Masao 
Maruyama via theOtakon committee, but the renowned and much-admired anime 
director Satoshi Kon passed away from pancreatic cancer yesterday at the age of 
46.

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 theParanoia 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.
