Streaming services have been great for anime fans, bringing more shows and movies to viewers around the world. But sometimes, even popular series get lost when they’re removed from these platforms. While Crunchyroll is a go-to for many anime fans, some significant titles have disappeared from its library, making them difficult or impossible to find anywhere else. Below is a list of some of those missing shows.
7.) Claymore
I remember when Claymore first came out as an anime back in 2007. It’s a really interesting dark fantasy, with some seriously intense fight scenes. What always struck me, though, was that it was made by Studio Madhouse – the same folks behind popular shows like Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End and Hunter x Hunter! Despite that, it recently disappeared from Crunchyroll due to licensing problems. If you haven’t heard of it, the story follows a creature that’s half-human, half-monster, who’s on a mission to fight the truly evil, full-breed monsters that prey on humans.
6.) Food Wars Seasons 1 And 2
While Food Wars and Food Wars: The Second Plate can currently be streamed on Hulu, it was worth mentioning here on this list considering the bizarre history that the series has had. Currently, Crunchyroll only houses the last three seasons, while the first two branched out to the Disney-owned platform. For some time, however, it was nearly impossible to watch the entirety of the anime adaptation in full, until recent years changed things. If you want to learn more about the series, here’s how Hulu explains the story of Souma and his culinary exploits: “Souma is a teenage chef who is always looking for the perfect flavors and combinations in his art, the art of cooking. So when his father suddenly closes down the family diner, his hopes of someday owning fade away. But his dad has bigger plans for him, enrolling him in a cut throat culinary school so Souma can prove his worth. Will he make the cut, or will his pot boil over? Find out in Food Wars!”
5.) Death Parade
The anime Death Parade, created by Studio Madhouse, disappeared from Crunchyroll last year and hasn’t been available on any other streaming platforms since. Though it doesn’t have as much action as Claymore, this series offers compelling stories with a distinctive concept: a bar where people can earn a second chance at life. Unlike many anime, Death Parade, which originally aired in 2015, wasn’t based on a pre-existing light novel or manga, making it harder for new viewers to find and watch.
4.) 91 Days
Similar to Death Parade, 91 Days was an original anime series not based on a pre-existing manga or light novel. Instead of focusing on supernatural events or global crises, this anime from Studio Shuka offers a unique setting: the Prohibition era, where the mafia controls much of society. The story follows Avilio, who goes undercover within a mob family to get revenge. With its twelve episodes and compelling protagonist, the series has earned a place among anime favorites and deserves to be available for streaming again.
3.) Noragami
I remember when the Noragami anime came out – it wasn’t made by the same studio as popular shows like Death Parade and Claymore (that was Studio Madhouse). Instead, Studio Bones, known for hits like My Hero Academia and Fullmetal Alchemist, took on the project. While it’s not strictly an isekai, the story shares some similarities – it starts with the main character, Hiyori Iki, nearly dying in an accident and finding herself caught between worlds. 2024 marked the tenth anniversary of the anime, and a lot of fans were hoping for a new season or some kind of continuation, but so far, it seems the series is still on hold.
2.) Baccano
Like the popular anime Fullmetal Alchemist, Baccano! features alchemy, but with a darker, more demonic twist and a non-linear timeline. It’s not shocking that this less well-known series disappeared from Crunchyroll, but many fans may not realize just how much source material exists. With plenty of manga yet to be adapted, we hope Baccano! makes a comeback on a streaming platform and gets more anime seasons in the future.
1.) Darker Than Black
Similar to Noragami, Darker Than Black was created by Studio Bones, but it tells a very different story. The anime, which centers around secret agents called “Contractors,” first aired in 2007 with a 25-episode season. It was followed by a sequel, Darker Than Black: Gemini of Meteor, in 2009, which added even more depth to the world. A four-episode spin-off, Darker Than Black: Gaiden, came out in 2010. With its unique approach to storytelling, the series deserves a revival.
