About the LEAKED episode

[drug-holic.livejournal.com]

EDIT AGAIN Cx
So its official that the distribution of episode 3 on the internet was a MISTAKE, and not a crime done by a staff member (from Code Geass site -and many thanks for aoi_rein and akeno_yuki for mentioning it >w<)>

Episode 3 will be aired as planned, with no revision done.

For the Japanese: HERE
For the English: HERE



Edit:
-From Code Geass FIRST SITE-
It's in the "What's New"> box towards the left bottom corner... quite small

Trans:
Just a few minutes ago, one of the staff members was arrested.

At the emergency meeting tomorrow, the stopping of the airing of episode 3 will be determined and announced.
From here, we may air the story planned for episode 4 earlier (skip episode 3), or not air anything for 2 weeks and then air a revised version of the leaked episode 3; we will decide that tomorrow.
This has been informed to all cast and staff, including the director.

-------------


HERE is my translation of the whole clip (excluding the ED of course, but preview included).
AGAIN, this may not become official show, so don't take whatever you see there and write about it as if thats the story for Code Geass.
If you want a brief summary, comment... but the translations I just posted at my dA journal (link up above) should be enough. C:

Ask questions, if any ^^
I'm willing to still do brief explanation translations (since it is my native language...) if you need any, but it wont be for actual subbing cuz I hate people who take my translations from my site and just use it for their fansub D:


ALSO
They're not really punishing us... its just that because it was leaked, they feel like (MAY BE) changing it ... not direct punishment for us. It's just that we take it as some punishment so don't talk too much crap about Sunrise please TwT;; it's not their fault. I mean, even if it was some other company, I'm sure they would consider such actions TwT
Sunrise has all rights to take its actions.

IOW they're gonna postpone the series for 2 weeks to remake or broadcast EP4 first, if the quote from above proves to be valid. They were planning to remake it in the first place, apparently...

I'm not sure... so T__T;;

[drug-holic.livejournal.com]

Un. Ya read that. XDD
It was also on 2ch (I don't go to 4ch... tteka, what is that? ;A;)

But makes me laugh... releasing it and getting arrested XDDD
But they were going to remake it? D: ... >3>;; where was that?

Ah, sunrise, you kill me. XD

[sapphirus.livejournal.com]

So by shortening episode 4...do they mean merge it with the salvageable parts of episode 3?

Either way, there'll probably be continuity problems while they review ep 3.

[drug-holic.livejournal.com]

I'm guessing thats what they mean by shortening it... Eh, Sunrise going crazy. D:

Problem is, the source is 4ch. Not sure how reliable that thing is D:

[pennevodka.livejournal.com]

Will you email me what happened in it? or send me a link to it? (sum would be better, my japanese isnt that great)

YawgysSnicket@gmail.com

[drug-holic.livejournal.com]

nvm, dont need to send me e-mail. I'll send it to you right now. XD

[kadekmoment.livejournal.com]

. . . sigh.

Off to other fandoms for two weeks, it is!

[drug-holic.livejournal.com]

smart ><;;

Then again, I hope for it to be released/aired as normal... so I don't have to leave Code Geass...

[tigtogtag.livejournal.com]

Ooohhh dramaaaa.

[firebird-88.livejournal.com]

Oh wtf Sunrise. Wtf. X____x;;

[sapphynashi.livejournal.com]

Am I missing how this is such a big deal? Don't things get leaked all the time these days? @_@ Sunrise, your ego, it amazes me. Please don't postpone my weekly dose of Geass.

[kadekmoment.livejournal.com]

Agreed.

[ex-duelist.livejournal.com]

D: What the hell, it's just a leak, for god's sake. Don't do this to us, Sunrise! It's hardly fair to punish all the fans waiting patiently, spoiler-free, for a new ep just because one of your staffers was an ass :(

[drug-holic.livejournal.com]

Totally agree!
They better not waste my two weeks. I'm a friggin uni student, living off of weekly shows. I need my usual dose of fun xD;;

[victoripenguin.livejournal.com]

Could I have a summary of the leaked segment as well, please? Spoilers only make me want to see the whole thing more, the pique my interest and then I want to know everything...two weeks... *sob*

[drug-holic.livejournal.com]

Do you have your e-mailed comments on? If so, tell me. I'll reply to your comment and delete my reply.
FYI, I was in a rush so my grammar's not the best TwT;

[zerorevenge.livejournal.com]

If you don't mind, could you reply the spoilers as well? I didn't even know any were leaked, but now my mind's going crazy trying to figure out what was that importance to cause Sunrise to pull this...

[zerorevenge.livejournal.com]

And yes, I have Emailed Comments on.

[rainbow-cnxn.livejournal.com]

It's bizarre that they're freaking out so much. Spoilers and leaks happen all the time, in my experience. They should just be glad that it's the last 6 minutes of Turn 3 instead of the last 6 minutes of Turn 25.

Crazy. Well. I don't care about leaks, so long as they don't butcher the flow of the plot in order to counteract it.

[rainbow-cnxn.livejournal.com]

P.S. Just watched it. It's more like 4 minutes of spoilers. The ED totally doesn't count. It's...pretty much what I expected of this episode. Chill the fuck out, Sunrise.

[powercorrupts.livejournal.com]

I don't know why fans are so upset about this. The ratings aren't even a significant fraction of what they should be! Leaking and streaming are at all-time highs, so far as I know, and I think Sunrise has every right to blame this sort of activity for the ratings drop (though, really, I think the time slot is the main issue).

No doubt they take this very seriously. They no doubt see two culprits here - the employee for leaking it, and the fans for distributing it and keeping it alive online instead of letting it disappear after the employee leaked it. They seek to punish both - the employee by firing, and the fans by editting or delaying the show. I think it's somewhat fitting - if people can't wait half a week for something, perhaps they'll learn the lesson about distributing leaked files by having to wait several.

I doubt fans will change, seeing as everyone seems to think Sunrise is completely unjustified in this, but it makes sense to me where they're coming from.

[sapphynashi.livejournal.com]

If we're going to be picky about leaks and piracy, then all the fansubbers should be shut down too while we wait for the official U.S. releases.

I kind of doubt they're intentionally punishing fans this way. That would be an unbelievably petty move, and it wouldn't work because, as you say, fans won't change.

[rkold.livejournal.com]

I have to admit, it seems a little weird that Sunrise is freaking out about a leak for an episode that was supposed to air in less than 1 week unless they decided they were going to re-edit this episode pre-leak.

Also considering how late in the evening in Japan are we 100% sure the leak and the possible arrest/postponement are all real? ^^;

[stop-blushing.livejournal.com]

i hope they still air ep 3 the way it is. i really don't want to wait for an edit...that could possibly be an inferior ending and throw off the next couple of episodes

[eevaleena.livejournal.com]

Even though I really didn't want them to postpone the next episode, I can actually understand why Sunrise was angry about this matter. Well, I haven't watched the leaked episode and I don't planned to do so either. Not when things has become like this.

[drug-holic.livejournal.com]

Is your e-mail comments on?
If not, please turn it on so I can delete my reply to avoid spoilers and flames~ >w<)>

[kaiserkehl.livejournal.com]

Since it was leaked and they'll probably never air it.. can someone please send links to ep3? PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!

I mean, seriously PORFAVORPLEASEetc.

[tungwene.livejournal.com]

I'd like an e-mail of a translation if that's not too much trouble since they're changing it anyway.

[drug-holic.livejournal.com]

Is your e-mail comments on?

[nachtstar.livejournal.com]

They're really making a big deal out of it. =_=
I just hope whatever edits they do don't completely change the story later on.

....send me what happens please? I'm really curious

[drug-holic.livejournal.com]

is your e-mail comments on?C:

[nekomiao.livejournal.com]

Can I have a summary of what happened in the episode as well? That would be awesome. I have e-mail comments turned on as well.

Though I'm so very surprised to hear about this and actually I'm quite surprised it's such a big deal as well. Leaking and teasers and such seems to spurr on the fandom more and create more money to me and international "piracy" adds international fans to the japanese market when they're importing toys and soundtracks so I don't think they should be worrying and making so much of a big deal. I'm quite confused.

[arence-heart.livejournal.com]

Can I have the summary too? I have e-mail comments turned on. Thanks ^^

[piccu.livejournal.com]

LOL I actually think it's wonderful that they want to avoid spoiling the fans <3

[dark-alone.livejournal.com]

lol, me being me, never knew / saw / heard anything about this.

until now, of course.

[drug-holic.livejournal.com]

dark~~ >w<)>
Haven't seen you for ages D:

[torque2100.livejournal.com]

I hope this announcment is a fake. What's the big deal, Sunrise, entire movies are leaked and the studios don't scrap everything becuase of it. I'm rather angry that you're punishing the fans becuase one of your staffers decided to be an ass.

[lockon-dynames.livejournal.com]

Totally agreed!!! They're going to postpone Code Geass for two weeks just because of a leak?! OH NO WAY!!!!! Someone put a Geass on them to avoid that!!!

[kanae-mizuhito.livejournal.com]

If you don't mind, could you also tell me a basic translation of the first 42 seconds of the episode? I'm just too eager to know what he was thinking to himself while.. well, no spoilers right? xD
I have my e-mail alerts turned on, so that won't be a problem!
Thank you in advance! ♥

[drug-holic.livejournal.com]

Sure thing ^^ But can you wait a bit? I have a psych exam to take in a few >w<;;
