At least the first five episodes of the Crunchyroll anime scheduled to air in Spring 2024 have been leaked online. What started as a leak of fans' most anticipated spring 2024 anime — KonoSuba Season 3 — quickly became more disturbing after Sound! Euphonium Season 3, along with three more series, has now been confirmed.
According to information on social networks, the first episodes of KonoSuba Season 3 (scheduled to air on April 10, 2024) and Sound! Euphonium Part 3 (April 7), starring the Banished Former Hero Live As He Pleases (April 2), Astro Note (April 5) and As a Reincarnated Noble, I Will Use using his appraisal skills to rise up in the world (April 7), all five films were leaked online before their scheduled release. Although Crunchyroll currently lists two episodes of The Exed Hero Lives as He Pleases on the site, it is still higher than the Japanese version, the second episode of which will air on April 9. Fans have also reported Report leaks about this movie as early as March 30.

Sound! Euphonium Season 3, Episode 1 is the second spring 2024 anime to leak online ahead of its upcoming Crunchyroll premiere, leaving fans worried.
Crunchyroll's anime leak likely comes from the convention's official pre-screening
While unconfirmed, many believe the leak originated from recent Crunchyroll pre-shows, either from Sakura Con or Puerto Rico Comic Con (PRCC). The schedule above from PRCC shows Crunchyroll's list of premieres at the event, with all leaked titles listed among the screenings. If the event is compromised, it's possible that Chillin' in Another World with Level 2 Super Cheat Power, a main title in Date A Live V, etc., could all appear online before the expected premiere.
Some of the leaked titles are among the most anticipated of the Spring 2024 season. KonoSuba Season 3 ranked No. 1 in the Animate Times poll, while Sound! Euphonium enters its third season with expectations for the emotional storytelling and high-quality visuals often associated with Kyoto Animation. Both will also return after a long absence, with the latter being released more than seven years after Part 2.
