Man I hope this isn't real, he's one of my favorite anime directors. His films are so realistic

Truly an unfortunate loss to the anime community. As a pioneer and leader in psychological anime, he will surely be missed. My sympathies go out to his family and friends.
At least he will be remembered through his works. |

Yasuhiro Takeda posted on his Twitter that Kon apparently died from cancer.

Oh no. A friend just texted me about this. This is horrible news. It's still breaking... so there's hopefully some chance that it's false... but... it's a rare and awful fluke that such news turns out false after such reports.
Forget just the anime film community, this is a sad day for cinema in general. The man has been a visionary genius for film period. |

Today is a sad day for the animes.
Kon only made 5 animes. However, each of them is a solid proof of his great talent. His passing away easily became the biggest tragedy for the anime in this decade. Hope him rest in peace. |

A very sad day. Satoshi Kon was one my favorite directors. I loved Millennium actress and Tokyo Godfathers. I think he could have made many more movies and series. He will truly be missed.

This is terrible, terrible news. He was very young (47) still and had a many more amazing visions he had.
A terrible loss for the film/anime world. You'll be missed Satoshi. 
Paranoia Agent is one of my most beloved anime series. |

He was my favorite director and helped re-ignite my interest in anime when I really didn't care much for it anymore. He will be sorely, sorely missed.

How sad. The man was a giant, and a visionary....Paprika is one of the most wonderfully inventive films I have ever had the pleasure of seeing, anime or otherwise. He'll be missed.
