Animators, Fan Communities Bash Netflix Leakers

While many fans of the upcoming titles were excited about the recent leaks, many animators and people involved in the production are coming forward to oppose the Netflix leaks.

Kass Chapa, one of the animators of Science Saru's anime adaptation of "Dandadan," called out against the leaks for being "disrespectful and just straight up annoying" for people's "hard work."

Chapa's sentiments are echoed by other artists urging people to only support official releases if possible.
