Satoshi Kon's Farewell

[l33tminion]

Satoshi Kon, an extraordinary surrealist artist and one of the greatest animation directors of our time, died this week at the age of 46 from metastasized pancreatic cancer. The news of his illness was largely kept private until after his death. A final letter was posted to his blog (translated with notes, thanks to blogger Makiko Itoh). NYT obituary here.

Really, I'm at a loss for words.
