He was at the helm of some of my favorite animes: Millenium Actress, Tokyo Godfather, Paprika.
He still had so may stories left to tell. He will be sorely missed.
Addendum: just putting a link to the intro to his great television series Paranoia Agent

So as not to end on a totally dark note, a big thank you to everyone with their DA BDay wishes.
Thank you, it was appreciated. I wish I'd had the time to reply to everyone.

such a sad sad shame..
and paranoia agent!? omg...that anime..man did it ever give me a mind fuck lol but i loved it nonetheless.
Haven't had the chance to see paprika yet, but im hoping to see it soon in memory of him.
I don't know his work as well and am unsure about how I feel about all this. No use repeating I guess.
I really love that movie, it's a sad news.
