10 Crunchyroll Series You Probably Shouldn’t Watch on Delta

by

Recently, Crunchyroll took the anime community to unprecedented heights, figuratively speaking. By the end of 2025, their streaming service intends to offer more than 2,000 titles and 50,000 episodes for viewing on Delta flights. For enthusiastic anime fans, having the chance to watch some beloved series during your air travel is a delightful advantage. However, there are certain shows that you may prefer saving for home viewing, and fortunately, we’ve compiled a list of such titles for your convenience.

In relation to the collaboration between Crunchyroll and Delta, Rahul Purini, President of Crunchyroll, expressed his enthusiasm about the partnership: “During a long flight, there’s no better escape than diving into the captivating narratives and intricate universes of anime. Fans can delve into a single series or sample an episode from various series – ranging from action to adventure, romance, and beyond. Once they’re hooked, they can continue their journey on the Crunchyroll app. We’re thrilled to introduce our passion for anime to Delta passengers and soar to new heights together.”

It’s worth noting that while many anime available on Crunchyroll are suitable for work environments, some may raise eyebrows if viewed on the in-flight screen, so let’s explore those options.

1) Dandadan

Dandadan, one of the most anticipated new entries in the anime scene, lives up to its hype. The tale penned by Science SARU about Okarun and Momo skillfully combines the otherworldly with the unexplained, resulting in a thought-provoking and frequently emotional narrative. Be warned, though, the debut episode packs quite a punch, as Momo gets abducted by Serpoans, stripped naked, and subjected to bizarre experiments. Fortunately, Okarun and his newly acquired Turbo Granny powers manage to rescue her, but it’s not recommended to watch this premiere while flying due to its intense content. Additionally, there are moments outside of the initial episode, such as Momo’s visit to a hot spring, that could potentially raise some eyebrows.

2) Goblin Slayer

I’d be happy to share a rephrased version of your text:

Experience my personal take on diving into the world of Goblin Slayer, unaware of its first episode’s content. On the surface, this anime follows a seasoned warrior who dedicates his life to combating low-level goblins in a realm teeming with supernatural beings and terrifying monsters. The initial episode serves as a stark reminder of goblins’ ruthless nature, showing not only their lethal capabilities but also their chilling habit of tormenting their victims before taking their lives. Similarly to Dandadan, the debut episode is incredibly shocking and may warrant a home viewing, especially with your Crunchyroll subscription for privacy.

3) Dragon Ball

In a twist you might not expect, Dragon Ball has solidified its spot on this list. The initial anime adaptation of Akira Toriyama’s legendary shonen series offers an authentic glimpse of its time period, with the youthful Son Goku participating in scenes that some viewers might find questionable, often involving Bulma. Apart from explicit content, there were also sequences that could make one queasy, like Krillin’s battle against Bacterian in the original version. This clash, devoid of nudity, is still remembered for its unpleasant moments within the realm of anime.

4) Berserk: The Golden Age Arc – Memorial Edition

The animated series “Berserk” is renowned for its graphic, adult themes, largely due to Kentaro Miura’s uncompromising portrayal of the Band of the Hawk. As a whole, this franchise doesn’t shy away from darker content, and we will predominantly discuss “Berserk: The Golden Age Arc – Memorial Edition.” This adaptation maintains many disturbing elements from the 1997 version, such as the ominous “Eclipse.” Consistently uncensored in its depiction of blood, violence, and nudity, “Berserk” has solidified itself as a franchise that carries an “adult content” warning.

5) Prison School

Prison School, though less popular, stands out due to its explicit content and might not be suitable for viewing on a commercial flight like Delta, even in its censored version on Crunchyroll. With just one season produced by J.C. Staff, it has made a significant impact on fans with its suggestive dialogue and compromising situations.

6) Hellsing Ultimate

Although the live-action version of Alucard’s anime journey in Hollywood seems to be on hold, fans can still catch up on the original series on Crunchyroll. The anime, titled Hellsing Ultimate, is known for its excessive violence and scenes that will make your skin crawl, which is why it carries a mature rating. Hellsing is a beloved series among many, often hailed as one of the best, with its focus on supernatural entities. However, due to its graphic content, it might not be suitable for viewing during flights.

7) Chainsaw Man

In his role as the Chainsaw Devil, Denji battles many enemies, and some scenes in Chainsaw Man are very violent or disturbing. These might make viewers uncomfortable during a flight, especially since one intimate scene was censored. It could be difficult to explain what happened if someone sits next to you on the plane. Furthermore, there are many grotesque creatures in the series that may appear suddenly. Therefore, it’s recommended to watch Chainsaw Man at home until the movie comes out this fall.

The original text uses more technical language and focuses on the potential discomfort for viewers during a flight, while the paraphrased version provides a clearer explanation of why one might want to watch the series at home and highlights some of the elements that could make certain scenes uncomfortable or confusing.

8) The Island of Giant Insects

Regarding films that may induce nightmares and are arguably inappropriate for viewing on an airplane, “The Island of Colossal Bugs” certainly meets these criteria. Not only does its title match its content, but it showcases some of the most gruesome death scenes ever depicted in anime, coupled with a plane crash incident. This particular anime is undeniably one of the most disturbing and uncomfortable to watch, and perhaps it’s best not viewed under any circumstances, including air travel. Writing about this movie even now gives me the chills.

9) Inuyashiki

Although Inuashiki may not match the graphical violence found in series like Hellsing Ultimate or Berserk, its narrative contains a unique form of intense violence during certain battle sequences. The primary adversary, Shishigami Hiro, employs his most destructive move against our hero, Inuyashiki Ichiro, by launching numerous planes at him and the surrounding city. Though the content might sometimes be disturbing, this particular scene could potentially provoke discomfort among air travelers.

10) Parasyte -The Maxim–

Parasyte stands out in the genre of body horror with its enduring popularity within anime enthusiasts. The series, produced by Madhouse, showcases an unsettling level of violence that can be incredibly intense and sometimes difficult to comprehend. Most battles involve the use of human limbs and organs, making it a visually gory experience. This might leave fellow travelers questioning what they’ve witnessed. To cap off this disquieting list, Parasyte -The Maxim- is an excellent addition that truly amplifies the disturbance.
