He’s also the man behind the manga, Opus, which according to Madhouse and Mappa co-founder, Masao Maruyama, is being planned to get an anime adaptation.
Brilliant anime director Satoshi Kon (Paprika, Paranoia Agent, Tokyo Godfathers, Millennium Actress, Perfect Blue) died tragically young in 2010 at the age of forty-six.
The Madhouse co-founder worked as a producer for some of Kon’s anime, and is trying to finish Kon’s unfinished final work, Yume Miru Kikai (Dreaming Machine).
The late Satoshi Kon has brought us many great anime, including Paprika.
