Netflix Finally Breaks Silence on Recent Anime, Animation Leak: Read

As a seasoned gamer and anime enthusiast with over two decades of experience under my belt, I can’t help but express my dismay at the recent Netflix leak fiasco. Having grown up watching VHS tapes of my favorite shows due to lack of timely releases, it’s heartbreaking to see history repeating itself in this digital age.


In more straightforward terms: Recently, Netflix has faced some troubles, to put it mildly. Shows unique to their platform like “Ranma 1/2”, “Dandadan”, “Terminator Zero”, and even the second season of “Arcane” have been pirated online. This unexpected leak has sparked reactions among both fans and animators. In response, Netflix has issued an official statement about the issue from a spokesperson. This incident is one of the largest leaks in the animation and anime industry for quite some time now.

In a statement given to The Wrap, Netflix confirmed that one of their post-production partners suffered a breach, resulting in unauthorized release of footage from multiple Netflix titles on the internet. The company is actively working to remove these leaks, but the exact scope and details of the security incident are currently undisclosed.

Creators Speak About The Leak

Kass Chapa, an animator who has worked at Studio MAPPA, Science SARU, among others, expressed his thoughts on the leak and its effects on animators: “This is our labor of love, intended to be shared at the right time. It’s something we, as animators, eagerly anticipate. To have it leaked prematurely shows a lack of respect and is simply frustrating. People might think they’re helping the community, but in reality, they are causing harm. Studios may question our integrity and trustworthiness even more than they already do. I hope those responsible for the leak face legal consequences.”

Instead of listening from an animator’s standpoint, anime voice actor Stephanie Sheh (famously recognized for Sailor Moon and Bleach) kindly requested fans refrain from watching the leaks that surface online. She acknowledged the allure but emphasized the effort everyone puts into delivering these shows promptly and of high quality. When leaks occur, it’s not just the studios that suffer; they may face penalties to prevent future incidents. This can result in additional costs and inconveniences for the team.

As a dedicated gamer, I can’t stress enough the importance of patiently awaiting the official release of the anticipated shows. The intricate details and immense effort poured into these productions by talented animators and creators deserve our utmost respect. Supporting them by waiting for the official launch is the right way to show appreciation for their hard work.
