posted on by Lynzee Loveridge
French anime streaming site Anime Digital Network (ADN) announced on Twitter that "Due to episodes leaked by another distributor, the production has decided to delay the video on demand distribution of Chunibyo 2 worldwide."
ADN did not elaborate on which distributor leaked the episodes. The first episode of Chūnibyō demo Koi ga Shitai! Ren was leaked online at least half a day before its Japanese television premiere.
The first Space Dandy episode leaked on Friday before its worldwide premiere, and Oceania anime distributor Madman Entertainment previously held up its streaming of the Kill la Kill anime series after a similar leak. The second episode of Oreimo was leaked from Anime News Network in 2010 and subsequently pulled before resuming a month later. Funimation's One Piece and Phantom ~Requiem for the Phantom~ streams were compromised and leaked in 2009. Part of a Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2 episode leaked from Bandai Channel five days before its official airing in 2008.
