The commonality between the three is Netflix. They haven't officially announced it, but Mononoke showed up on the SAG database under their dubbing contract.

Given the watermarks, I'm guessing this came from one of their production partners. Dubbing, subtitles, audio descriptions, etc.

Looking forward to watching all three of these, especially Mononoke, but I don't mind waiting to watch them officially as long as they release this year or next year.

If anything should get leaked online in 2024 or 2025, it absolutely needs to be Batgirl, Scoob! Holiday Haunt, and Coyote Vs. Acme.

Low-resolution ninth-HD format? Perfect for watching on my smartwatch! (*sarcasm*)

I'm betting somebody at Iyuno (probably one of their non-English subsidiaries) is in for some very difficult conversations. Those proxies are usually provided to subtitlers/captioners.

This was a stupid leak because whoever did it _will_ be found. Blurring out the watermarks isn't gonna do jack to hide their ass. There's logs a-plenty.

So, some thoughts.

Given the resolution, never mind the watermarks, these are certainly Offlines used for captioning, subtitling, dubbing, etc., for production. Offlines tend to be lower quality (and sometimes lower resolution) for the purpose of doing production work without having to use the master files (often encoded in ProRes or similar nearly-limited compressed codecs). For context, a single 25 minute episode at 1080i/p can be about 32GB in size for the original master files.

That said, wild to see these out in the wild, but more shocking there was a data breach at Netflix, as those have been very rare for them.

Hopefully no one working on these get in trouble, but as mentioned before, there'll definitely be some conversations to be had with partners. Doubt it'll be enough for the license to get pulled (as has happened before), but still.

I wouldn't say that there was a breach on Netflix's part per-se. Proxies are given out like candy though. Employees of localization partners are often provided with a Netflix backlot account, and with it one could download a proxy for nearly any show your company is assigned to work on. They're so low-res, low-bitrate, watermarked, and trackable that it's thought that nobody would be stupid enough to leak them. That'll probably get a re-think now.

Licenses certainly won't get pulled, but policies regarding access to those proxies will likely change.

I’m seeing reports that Re:Zero may have leaked too, can anyone confirm? Interesting since I believe only Japan has Re:Zero on Netflix.

Oh crap, I didn't even consider that was part of likely what lead to the leak and I DID know about this. A friend of mine does work for a company, it's set up similarly as well (he works in localization and dubbing). Given how strict these type of things, especially with certain parties involved, I wouldn't have even considered this would've been the root of the problem. Genuinely thought it was a data breach.

EDIT: Looks like more episodes of Dandadan leaked...

If the person behind these leaks works or is partnered with these contracted companies.. you can guarantee that they are going to get in major trouble for breaking NDA... they could even possibly get barred as these are serious breach of contracts... As for how severe... who knows.. we have to wait and see if ANN can get more info and release a follow up article in response to this major breach of contract....

Remember... Japan is NOT friendly to Piracy and they have different laws for Piracy compared to the laws in the USA... It be quite fun to watch this unfold and see if they can catch the person behind the leak quickly as these companies will probably do throughout the next 24 hours after all this.

Grab you Popcorn!

ALSO ANN What the heck is going on with the mobile version of the forums... it is practically almost impossible for me now to make a post via my phone... and It seems that its these Ads that keeps refreshing the webpage while I am typing on my phone or the webpage keeps breaking... one or the other!

Half the season got leaked.

Guess some one is getting axed and not getting any more licensing deals?

Literally half the season of Dandadan has been leaked. I know one or two episodes might get leaked from time to time but has something like this ever happened before?

The entirety of Terminator Zero has also leaked.

This is company reputation damaging-tier.

It's like someone is having a deep-seated grudge toward some companies and intentionally burning the bridge.... and burning themselves in the process.
