Four Ultraman Shows To Leave Crunchyroll

under Ultraman

While Super Sentai fans celebrate VRV’s addition of Zyuranger to its services, we have some unfortunate news for fans of Ultraman; Crunchyroll has announced that several Ultraman shows will be leaving its library citing licensing issues as the main problem.

The four shows are as follows: Ultraman Leo, Ultraman 80, Ultraman Max, and Ultraman Mebius. Ultraman X will remain while nothing has been said about Orb or Geed getting taken down as of this writing.

Fans of these shows will have until October 14th, 2019 at 8 AM PST to finish watching before they get removed from Crunchyroll’s streaming service.

    I think it is more of a mere license expiration rather than issues amongst Tsuburaya and Crunchyroll from the way I see it. Just businesses doin business things.

    Well that's sad news, I quite liked 80 and was planning on checking out Mebius. I suppose that's licensing for you though.

    Damn, I never got around to watching Mebius. I may want to get back to Gaia now before it gets yanked, too.

    AAAAAH! I was gonna watch those... eventually... at some point... I hope they get added back at a later point in time.

    They'll probably all end up on Toku's service eventually. There's already a bunch of Ultraman (and Mirrorman and Gridman) there.

    WATCH MAX AND MEBIUS.

    Probably best to watch it while you can. Just a personal thought but based on the fact that they are not extending the license, I think we can safely assume that they are done with it. Of course, nothing is a guaranteed 100% with these things and maybe it will come back on Crunchyroll, but at the same time we don't know if that will 100% happen. So probably best to plow through it when possible.

    "Toku's service"? I'm lost!

    I've never followed up on Ultraman in the capacity I probably need to, but this might be worth expediting!

    We technically have a year, or so, so some time remains.

    Really wish SHOUT! would regain the license to release Ultraman to disk again! They did for Ultra-Q and Ultra Seven, and they have Ultraman Leo for streaming!

    Right here.

    I just noticed that Max and Leo are listed as coming soon.
