Crunchyroll Quietly Drops Claymore, Death Parade and 91 Days — Fans Outraged as Classics Vanish

Removed titles

Crunchyroll removed Claymore, Death Parade, and 91 Days from its platform recently. Claymore is a 26-episode anime based on Norihiro Yagi’s manga, Death Parade is a single-season psychological series by Yuzuru Tachikawa and produced by Madhouse, and 91 Days is a Prohibition-era revenge drama set in the mafia underworld.

Where you can still find them

For now, some of these series remain available through Crunchyroll’s channels on other services. Specifically, they can still be found via Crunchyroll’s Amazon Video Channel and the Roku Channel. However, beyond those options, there is currently no easy legal way to stream them on Crunchyroll’s main app.

Licenses and expiration notices

Certain titles disappear from streaming libraries when licensing deals expire. If Crunchyroll’s licenses for these shows have lapsed, the titles will remain off the service until new agreements are reached. Previously, Crunchyroll sometimes listed expiration dates for titles, but it no longer does that on a consistent basis.

Additionally, according to posts on Reddit from Crunchyroll users, licensors have allegedly restricted the platform from posting license expiration dates, which has reduced advance notice for streaming removals.

Claymore live-action development

Claymore’s removal is notable because the original manga is in development as a new live-action series. The project involves CBS Studios, Propagate Content, and Shueisha, and was reported to star Masi Oka. Moreover, the new live-action series was teased to “preserve the action and complex moral dilemmas of the original manga and the anime TV series,” which could indicate a move to a different streaming home, such as Paramount Plus, depending on distribution deals.

More details about the live-action project appeared in coverage from Deadline.

Fan reaction and reporting

The removals were first spotted by an X user. Specifically, the change was highlighted by MangaAlerts on X, which drew attention to Claymore’s disappearance and later to Death Parade and 91 Days.

Fans have expressed frustration online because titles sometimes vanish without warning. At the same time, platforms such as Tubi and Netflix do provide leaving notices, making this situation more noticeable to viewers who expect upfront information.

Status and next steps

At the time of writing, Crunchyroll had not publicly explained the removals. Polygon has contacted Crunchyroll for comment and will update the story when the company responds. Meanwhile, viewers who want to watch these series should check the Amazon Video Channel and Roku Channel options, and keep an eye on official announcements in case licenses are renewed or titles move to other services.
