Satoshi Kon, a renowned anime director whose titles include Perfect Blue, Paprika, and Tokyo Godfathers, lost his battle with pancreatic cancer. He passed away Tuesday, August 24th, 2010. Kon had been working on a feature-length anime film, The Dreaming Machine. The movie's fate is unknown.
Satoshi Kon was told his pancreatic cancer was at Stage 4 in May of this year. He was in great pain and could barely walk. Kon was present enough to write his last thoughts, which journalist, Fernando Ramos, partially translated and posted on his blog.
