Over the past few days, several Netflix Original anime and animated titles scheduled to release in 2024 and 2025 have leaked online.
Titles currently streaming on Netflix include Enchanted, Terminator Zero, Plankton: The Movie, Gentry Chow vs. Underworld, Ranma 1/2, charity donation, of distinction Season 2, and The Fairly OddParents: A New Wish!
We will update this list if we receive further information.
This leak also extends to other anime titles that are not currently attached to Netflix, including Mononoke the Movie: Phantom in the Rain And Re:ZERO – The beginning of life in another world,
For legal and ethical reasons we will not share any of the assets mentioned in this article.
Leaks aren't entirely new, and these mirror those seen late last year, when two Nickelodeon titles were shared openly online in their entirety. Saving Bikini Bottom: The Sandy Cheeks Movie It was shared freely online and its full episode The Fairly OddParents: A New Wish! was also aired, which let us know that the show would be coming to Netflix in international territories.
TVLantas well as our friends Netflix PortalThe leak has been reported for the past few days.
Some leaks (whether clips, screenshots, or full hosted titles) remain up on X this morning, many of which have been viewed hundreds of thousands of times so far. Several threads hosting full movies/TV series contain external links. Most have visible timestamps and say “Property of Netflix.” Any identifying text on the screen has been blurred out.
We understand these leaks are from an external vendor, not Netflix.
Finally, we urge you to avoid leaks for several reasons.
First, watch these titles the way the creators and actors wanted them to be seen: on the actual day of release, on the big screen, and in high definition, just as intended by the men and women who have put blood, sweat, and tears into bringing it to you. Secondly, let's say you want TV shows to come back for additional seasons. In that case, only viewership on Netflix matters. This also applies if you want sequels.
Kass Chapa put it even more succinctly:
This is our hard work.
It's aiming to release on its scheduled date, which is something we as animators are really looking forward to.It's incredibly disrespectful and just plain annoying. You think you're doing some kind of service to the community, but you're not. https://t.co/UX0lCrZbuZ

In a statement released on August 9, Netflix said of the leak, “One of our post production partners has been compromised and unfortunately footage from a number of our titles has been leaked online. Our team is aggressively taking action to remove it.”
We will keep you updated as soon as we have any progress in this regard.
