Netflix Cracks Down on Anime Leaks, Crunchyroll in Trouble Too

Netflix is currently taking vigorous steps to address major leaks that have affected several of its upcoming animated series, including the highly anticipated second season of Arcane, as well as Terminator Zero and Dandadan. The leaks, which showed unfinished episodes, reportedly originated from a compromised post-production partner and quickly spread on platforms like X/Twitter and 4Chan. In a recent statement, Netflix expressed the gravity of the situation, highlighting the disrespect it poses to the artists and animators who eagerly await the official release of their work. Fans are advised to be cautious about spoilers and support artists by reporting leak accounts.

The leaked shows include Arcane, Terminator Zero, Dandadan, Ranma ½, and Re: Zero Season 3. Among these, Arcane Season 2 is set to release in November, while Terminator Zero premieres on August 29. Fans are encouraged to avoid spoilers and support the artists until their official release dates.

Arcane, based on the popular League of Legends universe, debuted in November 2021 and was praised for its stunning animation and storytelling. The series has quickly gained a dedicated fanbase, making the anticipation for its second season even greater. With its themes of rivalry, friendship, and the struggle for power, Arcane continues to be a standout in animated television, setting high expectations for future episodes.
