While I've seen a lot of anime, I only remember the names of two directors: Miyazaki and Satoshi Kon.

Paprika is one of my top-3 favorite anime films of all time and I was thrilled to see it in theaters.

I also enjoyed Tokyo Godfathers, Perfect Blue, and Millenium Actress. I'm starting to watch Paranoia Agent now.

It was always one of my dreams to be able to meet Satoshi Kon. He visited New York a few times too.

RIP :-(
