Crunchyroll announced on Thursday that it will remove 77 anime titles from its service on Saturday, August 1. Sentai Filmworks holds the license to all 77 titles. The titles slated for removal...
They do remove shows from time to time as licenses expire unless they renew them.
All videos will only be available on Crunchyroll for 30 days from the date of its initial airing.
This means all your anime, all on one platform. Starting today, tons of shows and movies from Funimation and Wakanim will begin arriving on Crunchyroll—so you'll get more dubs, more subs, more everything.
Crunchyroll announced the shows leaving its streaming service when March 31, 2022 rolls around. A number of major titles will be gone. Among them is Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? (DanMachi), No Game No Life, To Love Ru, and Food Wars.
Crunchyroll will no longer offer free ad-supported streaming for newly-released episodes, the anime streaming service announced in an update on its site (via Gizmodo). Viewers who want to watch episodes of new or continuing series will have to upgrade to one of Crunchyroll's premium plans, which start at $7.99 / month.
If you prefer subs, Crunchyroll might be better, but if you prefer to watch dubbed anime, go for Funimation. Since the selection of shows you can stream is different as well, check out Funimation to see if it has anything that you like that is not on Crunchyroll.

Licensing and cost mostly. There are many shows that have already been licensed and the owners don't want to work with Crunchyroll (CR) on distribution or they want exclusive rights because they're competitors. It's also a money thing. Probably costs a ton to keep all these shows licensed.

1 weekEpisodes become free exactly 1 week after they come out, so the release time is the same for both premium and free viewers. Ahhh! Another 20 minutes and I'd have been good to go anyways! Thanks for the heads up. Sorry if that was a dumb question.
Issues like this in the past have either been a result of living in a country where streaming rights for series have not been acquired/negotiated for viewing in said country by Crunchyroll. You decide to access the website from another country while traveling and are hit with the previously mentioned restrictions.
Crunchyroll takes down a show because their license expires and they either choose not to renew it or just can't renew it.

I'm seriously deaf and angry. Is Crunchyroll been too lazy (no offense) for not adding Closed Caption on English and other language Dub? I mean Funimation and HiDive have Closed Captions on English Dubs.
Luckily I’m in my account, but I cannot change my password or the email, which both has been changed. In other words, I can’t update my password without access to the hacked email and I can’t change the password without the current (hacked) password. I’ve contacted VRV, but I haven’t heard anything back.
