To Nippon Animation: Please let your wonderful anime series live for eternity

Dear Motohashi-san,

we are all big fans of the fantastic and wonderful anime series that was produced by Nippon Animation. This anime series are belong to the best anime that were ever made.
They touches us in many ways:


-We watched Anne's exciting life at Green Gables.

-We suffered when we saw Sara's hard work at the boarding school of Mrs. Minchin.

-We were desperated when we heard that Pollyanna will not be able to walk anymore.

-We become fond of the little, cute Rascal.

-And we cried together with Nanami when Tico died.


We also became fascinated about all your other anime series.
The anime series of Nippon Animation inspired us.
We create anime music videos that emphasize the atmosphere of this beautiful anime series, we collect the openings, endings and songs of them and we watch them online, when they are not available to buy anymore.
Most of this videos where uploaded by us on www.youtube.com to share it with other fans and to call the attention of people, that still not know this wonderful anime series, to them.
We did the same also on other video sites throughout the web.
As we saw some days ago that Nippon Animation opened his own YouTube Channel we were very happy.
But the joy of this event turned quick into disappointment and despair when we discovered that you were starting order YouTube to delete popular videos of your anime series "Nanatsu no Umi no Tico".
We know that this are only a few videos, but we are very concerned, because that shows us that you don't agree with that fans like us upload videos of your anime series on video sites.
The thought that all of this videos would become deleted by the time frightens us very much.
Anything that could be found about your anime series in the web is the legacy of them and a very important piece of anime history.
Almost all of your anime series will not aired anymore in european, U.S. or german TV and only a few of them were released on DVD outside of Japan.
Also the japanese DVD's of this anime series are almost not available anymore.
But even when there would be new released DVD's of your anime series or with the way to watch them online on your channel, this fan videos are the only legacy of your beautiful anime series that is available for eternity, because the web forgets nothing.
DVD's of your anime series will be outsold at some day and even Nippon Animation could close it's doors on a day that is far, far away and then also your channel is never existing anymore. The DVD's of them could get lost or broken and at one day they will be all in the hands of a few collectors that will not give them away anymore for all people to see.
When this happens and when all videos from fans of your anime series were deleted because of your order, the legacy of your beautiful anime series is gone forever. When this is happening your wonderful anime series will become completely forgotten over the time.
There are not very much videos of your great anime series that could be found in the web, everyone that will be deleted is one too much.
On the official english homepage of Nippon Animation could be found a beautiful text that is written by you:


"In our long experience with animation production, we have always kept in mind the fact that we are in a position to influence the moral values and character development of children. By maintaining a particularly high standard of production, we have received strong support both in Japan and overseas.

We believe animation can be a tool to deepen mutual understanding and friendship among children all over the world. It is our sincere wish to be a bridge between different cultures and contribute to awareness and appreciation among mankind. It is always a great pleasure to learn how readily our programs are accepted by children around the globe, regardless of nationality or cultural differences.

We are constantly working to improve our production ability and train highly competent staff so that we can continue to produce high-quality animated series which are acceptable to all people.

For us, animation production is not only a business but also a tremendous joy."

President


These are very warmhearted words, and the warm-heartedness in this words can also be felt when watching your anime masterpieces.
This warm-heartedness in these words and in your anime series shows us that Nippon Animation is not acting like an ordinary company and that it is not producing anime generally for money, but for joy.
When there are no new anime of Nippon Animation anymore at a time that is very far away and when there is no legacy of them, your beautiful anime series can not be a tool to deepen mutual understanding and friendship among children all over the world anymore, because no child that is born after them can find a legacy that would lead it's attention to them.
But when the only eternal legacy of your anime series can still be found in the web when these childs are live, the message of your warmhearted and moral anime series will live for eternity in the hearts and minds of the childs.
The most of us that will sign this petition, are no child's anymore, because much of your anime series are old, but we really loved your beautiful anime series when we were childs - and we still love them. We, the former childs and fans of your anime series, pray to you:

Don't destroy this eternal legacy of your beautiful anime series anymore.
Give those fan videos of your anime series a future on video sites like YouTube, so that also our children and even grandchildren and great-grandchildren can discover and watch this beautiful animeseries.

Please, let them live for eternity.


Sincerely,

the former childs and fans of all of your wonderful animeseries:
