I don't mean to bring such sad news on here, but I feel that it needs to be said.
Satoshi Kon, the renowned director of Paprika, Paranoia Agent, Tokyo Godfathers and Millenium Actress among others, passed away on Tuesday, 24th August.

This alone is devastating news, but what totally tipped me over the edge was reading his last message to everyone.
His family posted this on his website and it's been translated here:
