All that web drama surrounding the Code Geass R2 leak from a few days ago ended with good news, eventually. As you may or may not know, the final 6 minutes of episode 3 were spilled all over the streaming-webs on April 15, though they were quickly removed from YouTube, several times, at the request of Sunrise Inc. The leak, fueled by the delusion of a 2ch poster, has led to the wildest kinds of speculations - from "OH NOES episode 3 won't be airing this Sunday!", to "ZOMG they're remaking episode 3!", and even "WTF they arrested the inside leaker!".

Fortunately, none of those rumours are true, at least according to the statement posted on the Code Geass website. The official story is that the leak was the result of an accident, when a Bandai Channel employee (who may or may not have lost his job in the process) screwed up while implementing a system to prevent unauthorized postings. Leaked by the anti-leaker, the irony... Oh, and by the way, episode 3 of Code Geass R2 will be airing as intended in Japan this Sunday, April 20. So expect a full and properly fansubbed leak soon after.
