Satoshi Kon 1963-2010

Very sad news indeed. The official homepage of his ongoing animated
film, Yumemiru Kikai is
http://yume-robo.com/

Now Kon's official homepage is very difficult to access.
But you can read the full version of his will and NHK 
news report on his death at
http://blog.esuteru.com/archives/803749.html

He was always very positive about everything and
I was encouraged by his messages directly and indirectly.

I hope Madhouse will complete Yumemiru kikai.
