A giant, lost..Satoshi Kon

Discovered the news inocuously via a trusted Twitter source, and within an hour, the confirmation began culminating like the giant wave. It was true, Satoshi Kon, one of the great visionaries of global cinema, with his startling visions of Japan's socio-psycho concerns has passed away to cancer at age 47.



Outside of this deeply saddening news, there are no real words that come properly at the moment, except to say that not only did we lose one of the japanese animation world's true icons, but film as a whole has lost a giant. I sense a podcast in the making. For now, the sadness is far to close. We'll miss you, Kon-sensei, and thank you for such incredible work.

Gaaaaooo!

Foregoing the initial testing to just say that this was perhaps an inevitable move from the bustle of a first website that was in serious danger of an identity crisis. There must be a home for not only the spontaneous reports and thoughts that spur to mind about current pop culture without endangering the flow concerning new, emerging works that deserve more focus.

And while The Cortex was undoubtedly a fun time, it is time to cast aside that baggage, and give the creature his own set of islands to explore. Enter The Wandering Kaijyu, home to news, thoughts, and even the occasional fiction & video. Dare to travel with me?(I even have a few stashed bipeds in my knapsack for some noms later.)

Expect new, and fun posts soon!(damn, these taste awesome)

Cheers,
