It sure does. 
It takes a different kind of bravery that very few have, to be able to face your own death like that, knowing there's nothing you can do. Especially at such a young age. I don't think I could do it. And yet, he left this world holding his head high. This is something that even non-fans should read, just that little quote, because I for one find it inspirational beyond words. |

WAIT, SATOSHI KON IS DEAD???
He was never my favorite of anime's arthouse directors, but my god, that's a terrible loss to anime and Japan in general. May he rest in peace, and I hope he at last discovered the lucid dreams that so fascinated him for his entire career. |

Here's just one line from the farewell note, to help dispell some speculations.

I'm crying right now. I just don't know what to say. The man was a genius, gave us so much. His farewell message is very touching. As someone who has watched a loved one suffer with cancer, I can only hope that his passing was painless and peaceful. I wish the best for his wife and other loved ones.

His message was very touching. He will surely be missed. He made a huge impact on anime and his work won't be forgotten. My thoughts are with his family and friends.

I cried again after reading this post. He's truly one of my favorite directors and I wish this was all a big joke.

I am very saddened (like everyone else here) by Kon's early death - some of my favourite films were from this amazing director. The cinematic world lost a genius.

It just wasn't his time to go. My heart goes out to Kon's family member and his wife and the people working with him at Madhouse.

Mrs. Kon-
In the unlikely event that you ever read this, I know that this is not what you or most of your compatriots are used to hearing in your circumstances, but it is traditional in my culture: המקום ינחם אתכם בתוך שאר אבלי ציון וירושלים And in katakana, as best as I could render it: ハマッコム・イェナッヘム・エットヘム・ベトッホゥ・シャアー・アヴェレイ・ツィヨン・ヴィイェルシャライィム。 |

 I want a hug...someone.
I don't think I could get through Paranoid Agent that well, and Perfect Blue gets props for being scary. I guess Kon is known to directing shows with unique animation and freaky ascestics (sp?_.
Darn right! |
