....I had to post the link to one of my favorite anime themes with the fact that one of the best anime....no....just one of the best directors around has passed away suddenly.


Satoshi Kon, age 46 just died from cancer on Tues. He was definitely one of the best directors around who's done some awesome works, not just from an anime perspective, but from a film perspective. From the haunting/eerie feelings of "Perfect Blue", to the comedic/touching adventure of "Tokyo Godfathers", Kon has had a real good run for his contributions for film. While it does sound a bit stupid for some, it does bring about some strong feelings that now, as I've mentioned for my title, it's gotten a bit quiet in the anime/film community. Instead of going for the typical styles that most anime fans have grown to love and others loathe, Kon has gone in the way of REALLY focusing on the story, while at the same time, work on the art to truly make it all come to a head for it all. With such combinations, Kon had impresssed, not only those in the anime industry, but all around the world with the film industry.

He will definitely be missed, and I for one will definitely take some time to find his other pieces of works while I can.
