Animax Japan will feature a tribute to recently deceased director/producer Satoshi Kon by screening Tokyo Godfathers and his most recent film in Paprika along with running an all day tribute on September 4th, pre-empting the network’s 24 hour schedule.  The director’s last film in The Dream Machine will be completed by the staff that was working under Kon before his death, which is slated for release in 2011.
