Gestern ist einer der ganz großen Animeregisseure mit nur 47 Jahren verstorben. Jedes einzelne seiner Werke ist für mich ein absolutes Highlight und daher finde ich es besonders tragisch.
Hier eine Übersicht. Trailer habe ich verlinkt. Alles ist in Deutsch erhältlich. Paprika war meine erste Blu-ray die bei mir noch vor der dazugehörigen PS3 eintraf.
Seine Werke hatten auch Einfluss auf den Westen - Darren Aronofsky baute bspw. einige Elemente aus Perfect Blue in seinen neuen Film 'Black Swan' ein.

Satoshi Kon is a Japanese director, screenwriter, and animator. A key member of the animation studio Madhouse, he is one of the most celebrated anime directors in the world, and one of the few who have had a strong impact outside of Japan. His passing leaves a void in the animation industry which might never be filled again. While there are other talented directors and storytellers, there are none who capture the same dreamlike feeling his films invoked regardless of genre, and it is unlikely that we will see animated films like those he made ever again.
