R.I.P. Satoshi Kon (for anime enthusiasts)

[Damphire]

The director of my favorite anime movies. I guess all my hopes for watching some intelligent but entertaining anime are gone now.

Sad indeed, I think I've seen everything he did and really liked all of it; Millenium Actress and Paranoia Agent in particular.

I'm not really anime expert, so I had to check his filmography on wikipedia to see if know any of his movies. Turns out he wrote an directed Paprika, one of my favorite anime. 47 is not alot - he could have lived much longer. Sad.

You totally missed my point though. This is completely offtopic now, but here goes anyway.

What I meant was that I (like many others) don't really enjoy watching anime dubbed in English at all. The voice acting is simply not even comparable to the quality of the originals done by professional seiyu.

Or dubbed in any other language either. Here's some quality Finnish dubbed anime for you:
