3 Great Anime Crunchyroll Removed in October & You Can’t Stream Them Anywhere Legally Now

by

Crunchyroll, which started in 2017, has quickly become the world’s leading streaming service for anime. It boasts a huge library of shows, with new episodes added weekly. Every three months, Crunchyroll publishes a schedule of upcoming anime, including when subtitled and dubbed versions will be available. Because so many anime titles land on the platform, fans frequently use it to discover and watch new series. However, this month, Crunchyroll unexpectedly removed three popular anime shows without any prior notice – a common practice for the service.

What’s really frustrating is that these shows aren’t available for legal streaming anywhere else. Crunchyroll hasn’t explained why they removed them, but it’s likely due to problems with licensing or simply not enough people watching. Although these series have received great reviews, they’re not very well known and are a bit older, making it harder to find new fans.

3) Claymore

I was surprised to see Claymore taken off the platform, and then I found out two other series were also going. It’s a real shame, because Claymore is a classic that doesn’t get nearly enough recognition. It has a really interesting story, based on Norihiro Yagi’s 2001 manga, and features strong, complex female characters. The story centers around Clare, who’s a unique being – she was created as a hybrid, half human and half youma, which are basically shapeshifting demons that crave human flesh.

I remember watching this anime about a boy named Raki. He lived a normal life in a quiet village, but everything changed when monsters called youma attacked and killed his family. He ended up being driven out of his home. Lost and with nowhere else to turn, he started traveling with Clare, a woman determined to avenge someone she loved. The anime, made by Madhouse and released back in 2007, was really good, but unfortunately, it never got a satisfying ending or a continuation. It just…stopped.

2) 91 Days

This intense anime thriller, created by Studio Shuka, centers on Angelo Lagusa, a young boy living in the town of Lawless. He experienced a terrible tragedy when he saw his parents and little brother murdered by the notorious Vanetti mafia.

Devastated by a personal tragedy, he abandoned his past and former identity to begin a new life. Seven years later, now calling himself Avilio Bruno, he returns home seeking revenge against the Vanetti family, prompted by a mysterious letter. Along the way, he unexpectedly forms a connection with Nero, the son of the Vanetti family’s leader, and embarks on a dangerous quest for retribution.

1) Death Parade

Originally a popular series in 2015, this show from Madhouse lost momentum over the years. Despite leaving fans with many unresolved questions, there hasn’t been a follow-up story in the form of a sequel or manga. The series takes place in a world where everyone faces either heaven or hell after they die.

After death, some people find themselves in a bar, arriving in pairs but with no recollection of their past lives. The bartender puts them through dangerous games to reveal their true selves. But when a woman arrives at the bar by herself, things start to go wrong.
