It's like Funimation all over again, these companies need to be more careful with their product so stuff like this doesn't happen.

Wow, I really hope this doesn't effect how it's going to be released, or worse.
But really they need to figure out a way to stop stuff like this from happening |

No, this is far worse. This will cost White Fox a shit-ton of money. |

Well, to be horribly grizzled about it, I'm not so sure this is such a big deal in the end.
Might even be purposeful as a kind of marketing. This is based off well known light novels so leaking of scripts is no big deal... The production materials like clips from the op and ed animation are nothing much more than what is usually released on purpose for PR in advertisements and PVs anyway... So practically is the anime "ruined" because a bunch of stuff that you would have seen before it aired came out? Hardly. Now if a finished or near finished version of the entire first episode came out, THAT's a big problem. And this might end up costing the studio serious money from their contract, but I don't think it'll cause the show to be cancelled or delayed in anyway. |

Is it just me or does the guy's bangs look like maple leaves...? I'll give them props for bizarro character design, eh!

Wow, they really do look like leaves. The style is strange, but I kind of like it: the simplicity and bright colors remind me of old Saturday morning cartoons, but with a little more sophistication and maturity thrown in. It'll be interesting to see how this series turns out though. Bakemonogatari is now one of my favorite animes, so I wonder if this series can live up to my high expectations. |

Look at the shape of the bottom of his pants too. I'm waiting for this one, looks/sounds good. |

I figured it was intentional because of his pants, but the hair shape threw me for a loop. Also the tree they're standing under is a maple tree as well. Mainly just wondering why the maple leaf is so prominent

Ah yes, its been quite some time, but I now remember Zac likes rabbits. On another point, its like Funimation all over again. Just goes to show people, patience is a virtue that must be taught or learnt. Sadly, too many people are always busy or impatient these days. |

That, I can agree with. Well, we're living in an instant gratification society. We are the product of abundant materialism. We always waste time on demanding frivolous pleasure from anything and everything even though we don't use given productivity on something better. It's better to be busy on something meaningful rather than wasting time scouring internet on some leaked media. Personally I prefer watch my "old" Anime in relaxed pace while discovering something new and unexpected things which I overlooked. |

I actually wondered if it wasn't deliberate. There's been a mildly negative buzz going on this series -- and not once generated by people disappointed with the source novels. Worries about the inexperienced staff, and comments that they'd changed the dialogue -- stuff that these materials would actually do a decent job of refuting. Assuming they look promising. I tend to think the series will be a much better anime than it ever managed to be in novel form. |

- the FTP server is still up with the same login, several hours after the news broke.
- the FTP server contains a small subset of the production material. It is not the main production server. I can't see this is being anything other than intentional. Even if it was some sort of 'press only' server whose login details were leaked by a third party, it would have been shut down by now if the leak were unintentional. |
