| According to animator Abe Misao, anime production studio Studio DOVE in Iwaki city has been working normally despite the breakdown of the lifelines due to the earthquake and the nuclear power plant failure. Abe visited Iwaki to supply foods to her parents and dropped by the studio. Studio DOVE is located 42.9 kilometers (26.7 miles) away from the failed power plant and dojin mangaka Morikawa Haru said the offices of DOVE were damaged by the earthquake. The studio is the main subcontractor of SUNRISE and Toei Animation and they are currently involved in the production of Cardfight!! Vanguard and Suite Precure♪. Iwaki city has been in predicament because the supply of necessities of life has been nearly stopped. Transporters refuse to enter the city fearing the radiation. Sources: Abe's twitter.

| Hardcore. Maybe they should try to find other offices for the time being though... |
| Wow, their dedication to their work is something.. |
 |
| The Japanese government expanded the evacuation radius to 30 km yesterday (well...encouraged people to leave voluntarily), but they're still quite close. They really should try to find some other place they can work at for the time being, even if that would delay the anime a bit... |

| impressive dedication |
| Brave souls indeed. I hope there won't be any more damage to the nuclear plant. thats seems to be holding things back. |
| Highest Respect from me !!! |
| If these guys can continue working so close to that mess it makes you wonder why oh why did SHAFT have to postpone Madoka indefinitely... |
| They really love their Job . or they Trying to get attention . Ether way , i respect them =D |
 |
| Noble sacrifice to the anime industry. |

| And people like us still complain about watching crappy pointless show while knowing nothing about the one who makes it. Now I know how unappreciated we are. |

| u got my full respect sensei eventhough i'm not watching any of their anime |
SurferDude said: I really think that Madoka being postponed has nothing to do with the earthquake dilemma. It has to be internal issues and this news was out right after director Shinbo Akiyuki announced a Madoka spin-off.If these guys can continue working so close to that mess it makes you wonder why oh why did SHAFT have to postpone Madoka indefinitely... I do respect their dedication but maybe they should think about safety first. Losing people from the anime industry is something that i don't wanna see. |

| ^After the earthquake, SHAFT announced(it was also in the news sections at MAL) that everything is all right and they just need to gather the equipment so I am also towards the 'internal issues' reason of why Madoka was postponed + the actual content of the last two episodes. Anyway, great guys we have there. As another thing, I don't think they are the only once since Japan has many (of what I know) people like them :) |
Supergrunt8 said: Lol, I don't think it's pure dedication. And do you know SHAFT's exact circumstances? I doubt it.SurferDude said: If these guys can continue working so close to that mess it makes you wonder why oh why did SHAFT have to postpone Madoka indefinitely... ^this |

| Wow thats some dedication they got :O! Props. |

| They are doing Suite Precure and are 28 miles from certain doom, oh god please DOVE evacuate now, radiation is no joke. I'm glad they are dedicated and all but their safety is tops on the priority list and they need not be near the plant, one person from the industry already died, we need no more deaths of people in the industry. |
