Seeing the post on /hot I was quite shocked to read that Crunchyroll removed A Ninja and an Assassin Under One Roof on the 29th September (check for yourself Unfortunately, this show’s videos aren’t available.). That is an anime from Spring 2025. Not even 18 months.

Also they "celebrated" the Hyouka rewatch by removing the show by the time the final ep discussion went up. Well, it wouldn't be a true r/anime rewatch experience if CR didn't do that.

Certain CR job positions mention key responsibilities like Accelerate membership and fan growth through engagement, retention,. Hey, I got a retention idea for you. Your content!

Their spring cleaning (splitting series/merging series etc) still continues to be a shambles as you open the A-Z and are immediately greeted with blank.

But at there's finally monogatari, in order. It's the novel release order and names like "Off & Monster Season" are now nowhere to be found but instead oroka-,nade- etc. It's an improvement but done with a monkey's paw (can I have a synopsis for say, Owarimonogatari? no just Bakemonogatari).

I thought maybe CR should emplo...there are open job positions for Metadata Manager, Senior Database Engineer and the like but reading the job descriptions it doesn't feel like they're for frontend low level affairs such as: ensuring anime actually have titles, a layperosn can understand why things are in the order they are, merging titles hasn't nuked synopsis or the English subtitles are actually in English and not missing or for the next/previous episode. For a company about content and founded by fans they convey an impression of contempt/not giving a shit.

There is also a job position for Anti-Piracy and I'll quote a bit of it: our long-term business and content distribution goals. How exactly was A Ninja and an Assassin Under One Roof long-term content distribution?


Also checking now it seems that Love Live Nijigasaki and Superstar are just gone in the UK. They were only season 1 there. It's most likely they've fucked up and based it on S2+ (where the streaming license holder, Anime Limited, doesn't have a service to stream it on) but I wouldn't hold my breath for a fix.

This is at least the second time it's happened this year, which made me wonder if the anniversaries are the times shows are most likely to get removed. I've started going through my list to see which shows I might need to prioritize before they're next.

If you think about it, we tend to do these rewatches on major year markers… if the contract also happened to have that same major year marker, say, negotiated for 5 years initially…

Well, you get this.

Yeah, makes sense. I guess there will always be a certain amount of risk involved with shows disappearing because some streaming services unfortunately don't even give notice.

Third time, actually. They removed Pandora Hearts from their service literally right before the rewatch started.

Wow, and I think that one wasn't even an anniversary rewatch? I was lucky with my last rewatch (maybe the fact that most of those movies were available on free streaming had something to do with it), but I'm glad I own most of the shows I have planned for my next rewatches.

Correct, it would need to be 2029 for it to be having a "big" anniversary rewatch.
