Veteran anime writer/director Satoshi Kon has passed away in Tokyo at the age of 47. The news first spread via a Twitter post from industry fellow Yasuhiro Takeda of Studio Gainax, but has since been confirmed by Kon’s co-workers at Studio Madhouse. Details of his death have yet to be made public. Kon helmed half a dozen films, many of which found success at home and abroad. He first gained international recognition for his film Perfect Blue, a taut, psychological thriller released in 1998. Kon followed up this success in 2001 with Millennium Actress — an ode to the Japanese film industry — and Tokyo Godfathers in 2003. Kon next dabbled in television, writing and directing the 26-episode series Paranoia Agent. His most recent film to make waves was 2007’s Paprika, a fantastical, sci-fi journey through the world of dreams bearing striking similarities to Christopher Nolan’s 2010 film Inception. Kon was working on a new sci-fi robot project titled The Dreaming Machine. Early art from the film reveals a much more cartoon-y look, similar to Fox’ 2005 Robots. No word yet on the future of this project. After the jump, check out some of the trailers to his movies.
Kon’s work was characterized by a fascination with the subconscious and the world of dreams. All of his films have a sort of surrealistic quality that is in some ways similar to that of fellow writer/director Mamoru Oshii, though Kon’s work was generally less morose. His realistic, yet stylized characters and artistic design are instantly recognizable. Kon often partnered with composer Susumu Hirosawa, whose distinctive style had come to be an integral part of the overall feel of Kon’s work. His loss at such a young age is a great tragedy and the Japanese film industry will be poorer for his absence. He will be sorely missed.

NO!
Paranoia Agent was only 13 episodes. This is sad news, all the good anime directors are disappearing, whether by retirement or death. x[
When the hell did this happen
We lost one of the greats today. I hope more people will discover his work.
We lost a truly talented and brilliant man today. May you rest in peace, Satoshi Kon, you will be remembered for a long time to come.
My heart is so heavy today.
..and people like Bay and Ratner continue to walk the earth
I am crestfallen. Millennium Actress was groundbreaking cinema. It was a perfect balance of ingenuity and emotion and that was his 2nd movie! What have missed out now that he is gone? Another masterpiece in company of Spirited Away?
He passed away due to pancreatic cancer at 6:20 AM, August 24…Satoshi Kon, you will be greatly missed and your legacy will endure.
