Satoshi Kon - director of the brilliantly insane Perfect Blue and the brilliantly... um... also kind of crazy Paprika has supposedly died! :cry: :x Our world has become a more vapid place. Paprika is one of my favorites.

Heard about this from my crew in anime club. Truly the industry has lost a great man. Did you guys know that Paprika is supposedly one of the many inspirations for Christopher Nolan's recent movie, Inception? I wonder if Mr. Satoshi got to see it before he kicked the bucket.

Rest in peace, dude.
