...You have to be kidding. Either they are desperate for PR, or Sunrise needs to take more control over distribution of materials pertaining to the series.

Amother leak? Are they planning on doing this before every episode? Well, I don't read spoilers anymore anyway so this doesn't affect me too much.

I'm just amazed they're making such a big deal over a few measly little screenshots, or a very small video clip. It's one thing if a whole episode was released ahead of time, but this is getting rather silly.

Fuji TV did something similar, by accident. They accidently uploaded the preview to a One Piece episode that wouldn't air for a couple weeks at a time.

Bancolding (Bandai-Namco Holdings, as oppose to just calling it $unrise now) is getting desperate now.

It's not in their head that whatever they make SUCK now.

Or maybe someone at Biglobe was friends with the person who leaked last weeks, and didn't take kindly to the fact of how much trouble he got in(probably) and decided to take his own personal revenge.

Or...

Maybe not..... Wink

This also tells fans that Sunrise either isn't kind to employees or this is someone's personal revenge against this company.

This and the last case could of easily been prevented if Sunrise realized the signs. Kindness would also be able to prevent this as well. But of course, as with most industries, the higher ups only care about one singular issue, money.

Moral of the story; be firm, but not cruel to your employees, otherwise a similar case like this is bound to occur.

Maybe one of their streaming things might be malfunctioning or something.

Haha, the plot thickens. But whatever, at least it's only static images this time. I'll be waiting to watch the full episode thank you very much.

Well, how do you know it was revenge or otherwise? Maybe we've got a hacker on our hands. It could have also been an employee who didn't know what to do. It could have been anything. Let's not go conspiracy crazy here. Wink

MEGA NARUTO SPOILER:

Dunno. If this isn't a PR thing I'm more inclined to believe that the last time really was a mistake on their part (as they announced themselves when the last leak happened) rather than an employee breaking the rules. It seems strange that they'd go to the trouble of covering up incompetence in controlling employees by saying that it was completely the result of their own negligence/incompetence in a different way >.>

Though seeing as a separate company is doing it now I don't think it being a PR stunt is out of the question <.<
