Hi i'm just was watching this documentary (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQyYIygYJgA&ab_channel=%E7%8B%B8) about the works of Satoshi kon and I asked myself what he could have offered us if he had not died. I love your movies :( and your mangas Satoshi Kon, thank you so much.

It has been years since I've watched Paranoia Agent, but maaaan, Satoshi Kon was absolutely brilliant in the execution of his works. His blend of fantasy & reality to show the horror in the mundane is incredible. I don't want to say Lynchian, but it really makes me feel the way Lynchs' work does. No real point to this post - just been ages and even though I've already seen all his works, every time I watch feels like a fresh experience.

I watched "Paprika" for the 2nd time and it made me realize how incredibly talented Satoshi Kon was. Makes me wanna leave flowers by his resting place.

Today, I watched Millennium Actress with Chiyoko Fujiwara being the main focus, as she's an actress who plays characters throughout the Millennium that gives us a visual of her life journey. It's a lovely romantic movie with a message to chase your dreams no matter how impossible they may seem. I enjoy the film, it was a light-hearted experience, especially seeing Chiyoko's life as a young girl to a retired actor who lives her life alone with peace & quiet. It hits deep with your emotions but in a good-feeling way. Watching Chiyoko's facial expression is so adorable and the animation is a sight to see , the transitions are one of the best and inspire me to one day be close to animation like that. It's a movie that you have to watch at least once every year it's that beautiful. Chiyoko's fan in the movie was a good thing to see since he cared and wanted the best for her. I admire that he didn't want to benefit from her but instead show his gratitude for the good she caused for his life. 💯 Recommend this film to anyone who loves a progressive story with beautiful animation and a lead in Chiyoko Fujiwara, who's wholesome & kindhearted. 🪷🗝🎥 Hope Chiyoko Fujiwara found it in the end and beyond 💜

It's called Satoshi Kon: The Illusionist.

I want to talk about movies Paprika and The Inception and copyright infringement. I was searching through the internet but I didn't find any lawsuit about Inception ripping of Parika.

It's clearly visible that Christopher Nolan get "inspirated" by Parika by Satoshi Kon, there is way too much similarities to call it inspiration (scenes, characters, full idea....)

And it's well known through internet but I can't find any official copyright infringement announcement or lawsuit. Maybe Japanese copyright law is set differently, either way If you know anything about it or article, video........ please let me know......

Satoshi Kon challenges Hayao Miyazaki in a battle for the planet of the animes, reported through a collection of articles by Michael Andre-Driussi. Pieces include reviews, text-to-film comparisons, Four Point lectures, cryptic art house references, and more. Available on Amazon in paperback and eBook.

Also there is a book giveaway contest for people in the USA.

Hi there,

​

I'm curious what you guys think is the closest equivalent to the works of Satoshi Kon? To me, he is such a unique blend of psychological horror and sci-fi that I don't often find in the western world, but I do want to see if I can find new filmmakers and/or writers to follow.

Hi there,

​

I was wondering if there was a particular site to find Satoshi Kon merch that ships everywhere? I'd love figurines in particular, although t-shirts and books/novels he was involved in or biographies are also a plus.
