| According to the web diary of ufotable, two original key animations of Bakemonogatari have been stolen from ufotable cafe. Polices have already been called in to investigate the case. Kondo Hikaru, the president of ufotable, begs the culprit to return the key animations by mail because the loss of the original illustrations could affect the future production of Bakemonogatari-related anime. ufotable has been holding exhibitions of key animations at their cafeteria. However, thefts of key animations have been reported almost every year. In December 2007, numbers of Kara no Kyoukai 1: Fukan Fuukei key animations stored in a folder were stolen. In June 2008, a coaster with Sakamoto Maaya's autograph and an official illustration of Touko and Azaka were stolen by breaking the showcase. Kondo said it's possible to tighten the security of the cafe but he and ufotable staff want to trust the moral of the visitors. In 2009, Tokushima Police arrested four people in their 20 - 60's for stealing three posters of Kara no Kyokai displayed at a CD shop. They deposed that the posters could be sold at high prices at online auctions. Sources: ufotable web diary, 47news |

| Well this sucks. Why must people resort to stealing stuff like this? |
| Tsk tsk, people these days.. *shakes head* |
 love is such a strange thing but with you, it doesn't matter |
| wut What are you gonna do with key animations by themselves? |
 |
| i'd just say those people are lame. |
     ~Nyaaa~   |
| totally fucked up |
| Darn those 11s. j/k |

| Irrational and greedy, that's what those bastards are. Clearly at this point they can't trust the moral of the visitors and should just increase security, maybe threaten to yank the displays entirely. |
 |
| sounds like there is a lot of "pot calling the kettle black in here" how many of you are paying to watch these anime? |

| Wait a second... why does ufotable possess key animations of Bakemonogatari? I mean, it's a SHAFT anime. Have they taken over the production or what? |

Have they taken over the production or what? damn good point Not much anime these days are produced by a company alone. for example Shikabane Hime was produced by Gainax and Feel studios but in case of Bakemonogatari only SHAFT has been mentioned as the makers of it no mentioning of Ufotable |
De-JaY said: Wait a second... why does ufotable possess key animations of Bakemonogatari? I mean, it's a SHAFT anime. Have they taken over the production or what? Outsourcement. SHAFT is severely understaffed. Well, outsourcing has been happening since forever and with pretty much every studio. |
 My kingdom for a bottle of plum juice! |
| oh my those anime haters |
| Not surprising. I'd steal too if I could get away with it.. depending on what anime it is. |
| This is pretty depressing news. I would be really angry if one of the drawings that took hours and hours to make was just made to be 'stolen'. This does influences the future production of Bakemonogatari. Original drawings and stuffs are very important. |

ITT: Piracy is a crime, moralfags Indeed it is. But some of us don't have a choice. I'd buy the DVD's and manga's if I could, but my country doesn't sell any , and mailed stuff is usually 90% damaged when it arrives >_>. |

| Th(d)ickheads better return them >_> |
| I dont see how the 2 key animation drawings can effect the future of the production. Come on, man! It's not like they dont have the copy of those drawings before put it on the showcase. |

| Wow really? This is just sad. I hope they learn their lessons soon. -_- |
| How can the theft of two drawings affect future productions? Surely they could just draw them again. Serves 'em right anyway, everyone knows to trust no one in this day and age. They should have tightened security after the first theft. |
| all those trolls who complain about illegal downloaders: 1. downloading isnt illegal (at least in my country) 2. if germany would actually license good anime i'd buy them and you guys surely wait for the new aired series to come out on dvd do you? i mean come on think before you post please |

| 1) If this keeps happening, why do they put them out in the first place? :/ 2) Not surprising somebody would want to steal them. I remember reading somewhere that cel animations for a series were auctioned off for like a million dollars, lol. |
| I would pay a fortune for some key animations like that, but stealing those are absurd especially since it has an effect on the anime. I hope karma attacks the thieves like a piano falling on their heads from a 3-4 story drop. |

And yes most if not all of us are downloading/stealing or even just streaming from a not licensed site. |

| Amount of trolls and butthurts in this thread highly entertains me. Plus, it's 'original key' animation. It provides basic templates on various character design etc. It isn't something that can be drawn again. |

They're original - key animation - drawings. Animators made hundreds or even thousand of these drawings in an episode of normal TV show. This is what they're look like:   |

I hope karma attacks the thieves like a piano falling on their heads from a 3-4 story drop. Oh, sure, because a couple of shitty drawings = a person's life, right ? If they were stupid enough to leave those key animations out in the open WITHOUT having a backup copy (hard copy or a file on a HDD or whatever), then they deserve to be robbed and maybe next time they'll learn their lesson and not trust creepy otaku. |
anti-waifu said: I know it, and it still affects the future production. I'm pretty sure you know how 'slideshow-tic' bakemonogatari was and obviously, each animations worth more than average animes for bake.They're original - key animation - drawings. Animators made hundreds or even thousand of these drawings in an episode of normal TV show. Not too mention they won't be drawn again, ever. |
