NEWS: Last 6 Minutes of Unaired Code Geass R2 Episode Leaked

lol... knowing Taniguchi and what he did with R1 of Geass. I wouldn't be surprised if the last few eps of R2 gets pushed back several months due to lack of dedicated slots for the series because he pushed ep3 back 2 weeks.

R1's series scheduling was horrid. 25 scheduled slots for 25 episodes... and then he had to sneak in 2 unplanned recap episodes and push ep24-25 into the summer. This is likely to happen again with R2, it seems

I think its stupid to change it just because it was leaked ahead of time. They should already have planned out how the series will flow and changing that could have a significant impact.

Have you planned how to distribute your belongings if you die tomorrow? It would be reasonable to do so if you are ailing on a sick bed or about to face a grave danger (going to a battlefield, for example), but it would be rather weird if you are a healthy individual living in a peaceful small town. But who knows? Maybe you can get chocked by a meatball; maybe you can get hit by a bus with its break out of order (like in spoiler[Kimi ga Nozomu Eien]), or step on your shoelace while walking on stairs. It's like preparing food and water for a post-apocalyptic world if a meteor strikes the Earth tomorrow.

Leaking simply should NOT happen. Period. And according to Sanctuary, you have a typical American mind: if your products have a 5% rate of defect you'd produce 105 units in order to get 100 workable ones, but a Japanese would work on eliminating that 5% to 1% or less.

I think the point dormcat was attempting to illustrate is that it is unreasonable to assume Sunrise planned for contingencies in which an unaired episode was leaked, with regards to writing Code Geass' story. This is true, I think, as it doesn't make sense for a studio to write two potential paths for a story to follow simultaneously.

Moral of the story: Sunrise needs to tighten up security. Man, I hope the final episodes don't end up being delayed...

The 2ch news bit doesn't have an official source behind it as far as we can tell, but the part about the employee being arrested rather than sued sounds fishy.

I understand that entertainment companies usually don't plan for 'leaks' of that manner, but the point of the poster he quoted was that re-writing a planned series flow over one early leak would seem to be over-kill, unless they (the creators) were cooking it up on the fly.

Still, I'm surprised this happened, as I don't recall any prior time where a TV anime was leaked before (on VHS or the internet).

like Evangelion.

Leaking the plot even in pure text format is a serious violation of non-disclosure / confidentiality agreements. As for the motives, well, there are always people doing stupid (sometimes even criminal) things and then submit the video to YouTube or whatnot, wishing it becoming the next Jackass movie. Some people are just stupid and want to be famous than anything else.
