Kon Satoshi

This incredibly sad news draws me out of lurking mode.  Kon was by far my favorite anime director:  Millennium Actress, Perfect Blue, Paprika, Tokyo Godfathers.  These were astonishing films, the kind of works that change how you view the world around you.  Kon's death (brought home by the fact that he sought treatment at a hospital I've used more than once in the past) is a terrible loss. Too much death in the world these days...
