Fans are concerned as the first episode of the highly anticipated KonoSuba Season 3 leaks online ahead of its scheduled Spring broadcast. Get all the information here.
The hype surrounding KonoSuba: God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World, the widely anticipated isekai anime! The recent unanticipated publication of KonoSuba Season 3 Episode 1 ahead of its planned Spring premiere has dimmed expectations for Season 3. Fans who are worried have revealed that the highly anticipated series’ first episode leaked online before its scheduled April 10, 2024, release date.
A leak of KonoSuba Season 3 Episode 1 causes conjecture.
Long before its scheduled release, the first episode of KonoSuba Season 3 was leaked on a pirate website, according to CBR and other sources on Twitter/X. Though the precise source of the leak is still unknown, there is conjecture that it could be connected to a weakness in Crunchyroll’s ongoing usage of FUNimation servers. “Nyaa leakers supremacy,” an X account tweeted. “Even though I shouldn’t, I’m going to help you a little bit, @Crunchyroll.” Give up utilizing FUNI servers.
Director Studio Drive is in charge of KonoSuba Season 3.
An intense fan base of KonoSuba has been eagerly awaiting the resumption of the series after a seven-year break since Season 2. After DEEN, the studio behind the previous two seasons steps down to lead Season 3, which will be helmed by Studio Drive, known for its work on To Your Eternity Season 2. Drive’s strategy for the show was first demonstrated in the spinoff An Explosion on This Wonderful World!, which centered on the Megumin character.
The leak’s occurrence emphasizes the continuous fight against internet piracy, which presents significant obstacles for reputable streaming services. This and other incidents like it serve as a clear reminder of the ongoing threat that piracy poses to the anime industry, even in the face of aggressive attempts to suppress it both locally and globally. Notably, the prosecution of an anime piracy website by Japan recently marked a significant milestone. Simultaneously, a recent Indian court decision aims to combat piracy by requiring significant offenders to change their brands.
