Crunchyroll has quietly removed several anime from its library, leaving fans wondering what happened to their watchlists. The delisted titles include Blood Blockade Battlefront, Orange, Grimgar: Ashes and Illusions, Rokka: Braves of the Six Flowers, Barakamon, Black Lagoon, and the live-action adaptation of As the Gods Will.

The removals were first noticed by users and reported by manga alert accounts rather than through any official announcement from Crunchyroll. When Anime News Network reached out to the streaming platform for clarification, the company declined to comment on why the titles were removed or when they might return.

This follows a pattern of Crunchyroll removing content without warning—a frustrating reality for subscribers who've built their queues around titles available on the platform. Licensing agreements often come with expiration dates, meaning streaming rights can shift between services or expire entirely, but transparency from the company about these changes remains inconsistent.

The affected titles represent a mix of beloved series across different genres: the supernatural action of Blood Blockade Battlefront, the time-travel romance of Orange, the dark fantasy adventure of Grimgar, the competitive spirit of Rokka, the slice-of-life charm of Barakamon, and the crime thriller atmosphere of Black Lagoon. For longtime fans of these shows, the sudden delisting means they'll need to find alternative ways to watch—whether through other streaming services, physical media, or simply going without.

Crunchyroll's silence on these removals is particularly notable given that the streaming wars continue to intensify. As licensing costs rise and competition from Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and other platforms grows, streaming services regularly shuffle their catalogs. However, clear communication about removals and advance notice helps fans plan ahead.

If you're looking for any of these titles, check your local streaming options—they may have moved to another service in your region. Keep an eye on your Crunchyroll library for other changes, and consider keeping track of your favorite shows in case they disappear without notice.
