A final message was posted to his website on his behalf on Wednesday, after his passing. His website is currently under heavy traffic load, but ANN archived a copy.

 

In the beginning of the message titled "Farewell," Kon recalled:

 

 

May 18 of this year, an unforgettable day.

 

My wife and I received the following prognosis from a cardiologist at the Musashino Red Cross Hospital:

 

"The pancreatic cancer is terminal and has metastasized to the bone. You have at most a half year left."

 

 

Later, he remembered meeting with MADHOUSE founder Masao Maruyama about the final anime film he was directing:

 

 

When I conveyed my concerns for Yume-Miru Kikai to Mr. Maruyama, he said, "It's fine. Don't worry, we'll do whatever it takes."

 

I cried.

 

I cried aloud.

 

 

He concluded his message with the following:

 

 

With feelings of gratitude for all that is good in this world, I put down my pen.

 

Well, I'll be leaving now.

 

Satoshi Kon
