Now, this isn’t relevant to Evangelion but I just want to announce my sincere feelings for the death of one of the brilliant anime film directors – Satoshi Kon.

For those of you who doesn’t know him, he’s the director of films such as ‘Perfect Blue,’ ‘Tokyo Godfathers,’ and the movie that influenced ‘Inception’ — ‘Paprika.’ Satoshi Kon has won awards from Fant-Asia Film Festival, Mainichi Film Concours, Sitges – Catalonian International Film Festival, and many more. He’s one of my favorite directors mainly because I’m bias to psychological / philosophical genres, which Hideaki Anno is also great at.

One of the earlier reports of his death came from Takeda Yasuhiro, a founding member of GAINAX, the animation studio most famous for producing Neon Genesis Evangelion. Other source was from Masao Maruyama, president of Madhouse Studios. According to Anime-Gamers’ source, Kon’s cause of death was cancer.

P.S: Sorry If I’ve been inactive for quite a while, it’s because I’m doing some video editing.
