You all may be interested in this then. It's a translation of his posthumous post on his blog.

You may want to consider having some tissues handy before you read that :(

That was just amazing. I can't imagine how difficult it must have been for the person translating it, as it went along.

Thanks for posting---I'm putting that up on my Facebook. Everybody should read it.

Jesus...He was way too young. I adored Memories/Perfect Blue. Now I feel like crap for skipping out on the other movies he's worked on until now. *feels like punching a puppy*
...Yeah, I know she's a trap.

I was getting watery eyes with millennium actress on last night. I always skipped on seeing it, now I have, and it really hit me, this guy was so talented, the sense of flow in the editing for an anime is amazing.

I was a fan of Satoshi for tens years (ever since I first saw Perfect Blue when living with my best friend's family). He was my favorite director in anime, and I would always eagerly await his next project with impossibly high expectations, and still have them met each time.

Anime just won't be the same for me knowing that he's gone now. :cry:
