Guest GrandPopPoplock Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 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 http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2010-08-25/director-satoshi-kon-wife-writes-about-his-passing ...dayum.
