In a better world Satoshi Kon would get the level of praise Miyazaki gets but unfortunately Kon's works don't appeal to the "young witch in the alps solving the mystery of her neighbor's missing cat" crowd so we're fucked I guess

Genuinely I wish film circles discussed his work more and treated his death as the tragedy that it is. Losing him at age 46 was an enormous loss.

A huge reason he isn't is bc the Hollywood vultures he wouldn't bend too started ripping into his carcass the instant he died They do not want to give him any credit for his influence and a big reason Miyazaki doesn't have this issue as much Is bc he was one of the few people with the money and lawyers to threaten the mouse when they tried to fuck around on him Satoshi Kon will have a bigger boom in the west one day. I'm an optimist. His influence is great even though he remains uncredited. I think it's inevitable hacks who don't want him mentioned will fade by compariso A similar thing has happened with many other now critically aclaimed Japanese artists and animators and directors included Tezuka It's not just a genre thing and more of a usamerican hegemony and belief other cultures work exists to be “elevated” thing But western chauvinists will not outlive Satoshi Kon's impact on them
