Obviously I am very saddened by the passing of Satoshi Kon, he was a great director and he will be missed.
Oh gosh, I leave for a few days and look what happened. This is tragic, Kon had an important niche in world cinema, he made anime that was explicitly for adults and really pushed the medium in exciting new directions. With Miyazaki retiring (crossing my fingers for the Porco sequel) we are losing our best traditional animators. Condolences to the family.
RIP mr. Kon.
same sentiments here - i've had my head/face/brain in a book for 2 weeks and when I finally come up for air, I get kicked in the stomach. Huge, huge loss. He made really wonderful films. Definitely will be missed.
Anyone have an inkling if
The Dream Machine is finished and just in post-production, or if it is unfinished in terms of material?
