ANN's CEO Chris MacDonald apologizes for Oreimo episode leak: OreImo simulcast suspended

The CEO of Anime News Network apologized in the following statement on the Oreimo episode leak that occurred las week, offering a refund for those who paid for the episode:

"On October 9th the second episode of Oreimo was downloaded from Anime News Network's contracted content delivery network when security measures believed to be in place on our video server failed and were unlawfully circumvented. Anime News Network assumes all responsibility for these failures and emphatically confirms that Aniplex and its partners in Japan were in no way responsible for this occurrence.


Anime News Network would like to apologize to all of the fans of Oreimo in North America and Japan for the disappointment caused by this unfortunate situation.


As of this time all simulcasting on Anime News Network Oreimo and togainu no chi ~Bloody Curs~ will be suspended indefinitely while we continue to investigate this breach and correct the security lapses that allowed it to occur. At this time it remains unclear if, or when the simulcasts will resume. Anime News Network will issue a full refund to all our members that purchased a premium streaming account for Oreimo or togainu no chi ~Bloody Curs~."

This also means that both Oreimo and Bloody Curs' simulcast have been suspended indefinitely :-(

There's not word yet over if ANN will simulcast series in the future due to this incident.

The Anime News Network will simulcast OreImo!

The Anime News Network (ANN) has joined forces with Aniplex to simulcast its first series, and it will be none other than OreImo!

OreImo is known by the large name of Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai, meaning Your Little Sister isn't that Cute, and it's a TV comedy on the life of a closet female otaku and her annoying big brother who chases her to expose her for what she truly is!

The anime just premiered on Tokyo MX TV last Sunday.

Notice that Anime News Network (ANN) is not the same as the The Anime Network, which is streaming Hyakka Ryoran Samurai Girls.

More OreImo trailers online!

This is another anime that will premiere on October 3, and meanwhile its official site has uploaded three more trailers that can be seen here.

But there's also HD versions:





The first teaser trailer was released on August, and you can see the original post here  

OreImo stands for Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai!, or My Little Sister can't be that cute!

The original story by authors Tsukasa Fushimi and Hiro Kanzaki revolves around a boy named Kyosuke Kosaka, a high school student that discovers that his sister is secretly a moé otaku, despite her serious and aloof appearance.

As I said before, the art is quite beautiful so it's definitely worth to check it out!
