So as I posted here and which you might know, Satoshi Kon has passed away: http://forum.koohii.com/showthread.php?p...#pid114534

Here's an English translation of a document he left behind, which his family posted (the jp link is contained herein): http://www.makikoitoh.com/journal/satosh...last-words

Thank you for posting that. It was incredibly moving. I think his gratitude towards others and serene acceptance of death were particularly touching.

Thank you nest0r.

It's very sad but it definitely was a moving letter. I somehow consider folks like Satoshi Kon to be immortals ingrained in the social fabric, so it's strange when they're suddenly gone, never to produce again.
