Millennium Director

[Wolf Kanno]

Well this was sad news to hear today. (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2010-08-24/award-winning-director-satoshi-kon-passes-away)

Director Satoshi Kon of Perfect Blue, Millennium Actress, and Paprika fame has passed away yesterday. This was one of the few directors in the industry I really loved and its sad to see his talent to suddenly disappear. :(

I found a website that translated a final document Satoshi Kon wrote for his fans and loved ones.

Satoshi Kon's last words | Makiko Itoh : Not a nameless cat. (http://makikoitoh.com/journal/satoshi-kons-last-words)

I am rather sad about his passing but it was nice to learn he was able to sort out a few things before his death, so he was able to leave with little worry.

For those who don't know who he is, I still say you should read his final words, its not often people get a chance to write down their thoughts before passing and Satoshi wrote a rather moving if not personal farewell letter. :cool:
