Remembering Satoshi Kon

About a year ago, one of the best writers and animators of our era had passed away, proving too good for this sinful Earth. His name was Satoshi Kon, and he was nothing short of fantastic. His works include, but are not limited to:

Paranoia Agent, a 13 episode series that deconstructs Japan's Kawaisa obsession, amongst other things. Highly recommended

Tokyo Godfathers, a film about a trio of homeless people who find an abandoned baby and aspire to return her to her mother, along the way experiencing the miracles of Christmass

Paprika, a film about dreaming...Really nothing more I can say about it that would do it justice...

Satoshi Kon is one of my favorite directors, right up there with Hayao Miyazaki. Too Good for this Earth indeed.

Azumanga Daioh the animation

One of those animes is not like the others, one of those just doesn't belong :O lolrolling on the floor laughing
SCHOOL DAYS!!!!tongue
hey lumi you ever get into naruto[ even the shippunen ones are good] ?ohh and the ansewer to your question is school days ,i win applause
Actually, the one that doesn't belong is Azumanga Daioh, because it's a slice of life commedy, unlike the other ones, which...aren't. lol

Yeah I was into Naruto up until the Sasuke Retrieval Ark. You know, the last good arc up until the Filler Fatigue kicked in.

Dragon Ball Z, now THERE is a great anime. Another great Anime I really loved was original Mobile Suit Gundam. I remember loving it, and Gundam Wing too. After that they I couldn;t keep up with Gundam anymore, lol, though I did try to watch 8th MS Team.
