Description The whole manga & anime community were shocked with the news that emerged yesterday announcing the death of Satoshi Kon, one of the greatest anime directors ever at the early age of 46.

Satoshi Kon is one of my favorite directors ever, and one of very few that I always wait for their next work with huge anticipation. Anime will not be the same with your departure. No more intelligent psychological anime. I was eagerly waiting for updates about his new feature "Yume-Miru Kikai". Hopefully Madhouse will try to finish it so we can all see one last Kon magical movie.

This is a simple stamp to all his fans. I know Magnetic Rose was not directed by Kon, but he was heavily involved in it and it's considered his real start.

Magnetic Rose, 1995.
Perfect Blue, 1998.
Millennium Actress, 2002.
Tokyo Godfathers, 2003.
Paranoia Agent, 2004.
Paprika, 2007.

R.I.P Satoshi Kon. You lived a short successful life. You will be missed.

I feel so sad I just watched Paprika with my sister the other day, and it was a great experience, you could just feel the hard work they put into it emitting from it. His works are always really original, and it's always a treat Next to Miyazaki, he's my favorite animator...He really brought out the Anime genre out there and did things with it other people didn't do.

I was so devastated when I heard the news, he was definitely on my list of People I Want to Live Forever! XD
