Crunchyroll to Delist Over 50 Anime Shows on 1st August 2020
It has been a long while since Crunchyroll had officially revealed there would be adjustments to their catalogue line-up of anime on their service. Today, they have announced that a number of older anime will be removed from their streaming service starting Saturday 1st August 2020 (and potentially even earlier than that as evidently seen in the past with some titles).
This line-up will focus more on the United Kingdom and Ireland, as select titles mentioned by Crunchyroll were region locked or have different licensing involved that will retain them for our territories.
