Regardless of the reason or circumstances surrounding the unauthorised recording of the movie, this incident has serious repercussions on our local anime community.
Movie leaks ranging from 10 seconds to eight minutes may have caused many Japanese licencors to blacklist both Malaysia and Singapore.
ODEX, which distributes the film in Singapore, Malaysia, and the Philippines, has now released a statement regarding this incident.
We work to bring the latest and popular anime movies to the big screens of Singapore and Malaysia, this will not be possible if there are movie leaks damaging the integrity of our local anime community.
