The passing of Satoshi Kon really hurt the advancement of anime. Both from the fact that it felt like Kon was really becoming a powerhouse as well as the people who were learning from him.
Definitely! What amazing films he could have made in all these years. I'm not really an anime fan, but Miyazaki and Satoshi belong to my all-time favourites.
Just FYI that should be "Miyazaki and Kon", Satoshi is his first name.
D'oh, I meant to write "Satoshi Kon". But thanks for pointing it out.
