On January 5th, a large amount of the production material of Katanagatari was leaked to the file sharing. The data includes the character designs, the draft storyboards up to episode 8, and the scenarios up to episode 10.

Leaked OP animation (Youtube)

Judging from the ID of the FTP, the source of the leak is probably one of the staff of White Fox, Koresawa Hideyuki's directory.

Source: Gigazine

Story by nextday

Updated on January 7th
White Fox admitted that their FTP server was hacked and concealed data was stolen. They apologized to the companies involved and the fans. They will investigate the case with Tokyo Metropolitan Police.

I stumbled upon a torrent of that earlier on in the day, not knowing what it really was. However, sucks to have all that hard work leaked and basically open to the public.

It's a bummer when all the hard work gets leaked onto the internet:'( It can really affect whether a show can do well or not when it actually airs *Holds thumbs for Katanagatari*

Hey me too. I don't think I'll watch it for that reason. Also because who wants to spoil a 12 episode series?

It mus suck most for the screenwriter, all his work leaked... Anyway, the novel is ,from what I've read, sh!t, so it's most probably a publicity stunt :F

Yeah, I was thinking that too, but who knows, even so it seems an interesting work, so I'll be sure to check it when it comes out (Even if it is just an episode per month).

The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

Well, I may dl this, but just for any potential hires artwork. Even if I was fluent in moon I wouldn't want to be spoiled.

It's 12 50-minute episodes, last it was listed. Maybe that's why.

It's by — surprise — Nishio Ishin, the same one who wrote Bakemonogatari. Shit it is not.
EDIT: You know, I have absolutely no basis for that. But who cares.

I can't help but notice certain words like DRAFT screenplays being used. I would hope that the majority of anime fans would take the high road here and not look at the leaked information and wait for the FINISHED product to be shown on Japanese TV.

Well, tha novel has some flaws, more on than in Animesuki threas about this anime. Regarding Bakemonogatari, it's one of the few recent anime I've dropped =]

yeah, certainly not any kind of publicity stunt... just unfortunate, and will probably result in heads rolling and damages lawsuits against the employee(s) who leaked it.

still kinda disappointed though since I missed it and kinda wanted a preview. :3

never saw any of that, in class I guess.

Still, from outside anime community, simply in context of the art and concept visuals, stunning. Although, I was taken aback by the Lil' Orphan Annie eyes, I realized later that it was an indicator of characters' essential innocence, or rather stunted development- take your pick.

While being short it doesn't give time to becomes bored, it's also bittersweet to see it finish.
