I found this while browsing Mandarake. It seems fake to me, since something like this would have sparked more curiosity from the fandom. But I'm here to get confirmation.

It's probably fake, but it makes me wonder: Are anime scripts written horizontally or vertically?

They are written vertically, so this photographed script is definitely in the right order, at least lol

I can't say whether it is or isn't, but considering how much behind the scenes things we've gotten from this series over the years, it's not out of the realm of possibilities to eventually get something like this.

What I find intriguing is that what's written on that page is a scene that was cut from the theatrical version and is only present in the extended version, which was first shown on Fuji TV in March 2014. However, the auction for this item ended in January 2014, two months earlier.

Those scenes weren't "new", at least not exactly. The "extended" cut we got later was actually the original cut of the movie, but it was shortened last minute before going to theaters for whatever reason.

You didn't understand what I said. Those scenes came later in terms of release, not production. I know they were left in the editing room.
