Fuck Yeah, Satoshi Kon

Official website / Wiki / IMDb Satoshi Kon (今 敏) was a Japanese anime directer, writer, and manga artist. His artistic vision and penchant for blending reality with dreams and the subconscious made him one of the few modern artists pushing anime forward. Mr. Kon is best known for directing Perfect Blue, Millennium Actress, Paprika, and Tokyo Godfathers. He also directed the psychological horror anime series Paranoia Agent. Mr. Kon was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in May of 2010, and passed away at the age of 46 on August 24, 2010. You can read his final words here. Mr. Kon was working on a new film called The Dream Machine at the time of his passing. It has recently been announced that production on the movie will continue, though doubtless the completion of the movie will be bittersweet for both the fans and those at Madhouse Inc. (UPDATE: production has been temporarily halted due to financial difficulties.) Blog run by lelefey. Submissions welcome!

Brief Connections: A Nobumoto Keiko Career Retrospective

Nobumoto Keiko was not a prolific writer. When she passed away on December 1, 2021 at the age of 57 from esophageal cancer, she had only about a dozen live action and anime credits to her name, plus a video game. However, what it lacks in length, it more than makes up in impact. Among those few titles are some of the most influential series of the last few decades of Japanese pop culture: Macross Plus, Cowboy Bebop, Tokyo Godfathers, Wolf’s Rain, and Kingdom Hearts. She has worked alongside industry titans like Watanabe Shinichiro and Kon Satoshi, who similarly left behind a brief but brilliant legacy before passing away too young, but time and again, her own creative voice asserted itself.

One of the benefits to a creator having worked on so few projects is it becomes much simpler to look through their body of work to find common threads, and Nobumoto undeniably returned to the same themes over and over again. She examined the humanity of those who have hit rock bottom or the end of their lives, and the connections they can make even in moments of pain and loss.
