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.
