The universe remains an unfair ‘verse. We just learned of anime director Satoshi Kon‘s passing via Twitch.
Satoshi Kon worked on several anime classics under Katsuhiro Otomo and Mamoru Oshii, but is most well-known for his own films released by Madhouse: “Perfect Blue”, “Millennium Actress”, “Tokyo Godfathers” and of course “Paprika”. He also made the brilliant 13-episode series “Paranoia Agent”. Currently he was working on his new film “The Dreaming Machine” which was scheduled for release next year.
Kon’s genius will be sorely missed.
We’ve gathered some clips of Kon’s projects because you will be a better person once you’ve experienced his work.
