Perhaps. Still feels obscure though by conventional definitions of the word. I just don’t really expect something like crunchy roll to be carrying titles that are over 30 years old and I think it’s kind of silly to expect them to do otherwise. Not that I really use crunchy roll. I perceive a different vibe of crunchyroll cataloging stuff like that vs Netflix offering things like neon genesis, cowboy bebop, and other impactful old titles. Idk if I can justify that belief. Perhaps it’s just that Netflix’s anime catalog is small and honestly pretty well curated cache for people that probably aren’t anime watchers. I kind of expect crunchyroll to be a service that focuses only on the latest stuff with ads and merch for big anime fans.

It does rather come down to expectations, doesn't it. I (and this is just me) expect my local library to carry 125 year old stage plays such as The Importance of Being Earnest .. and it does. I expect an online libray of AV media to carry copies of material that was influential and popular when I was 30 .. (such as the anime series under discussion). If Crunchyroll is just service that focuses upon trending bleeding edge viral latest fad material then so be it. That by no means makes the plays of Oscar Wilde nor the popular culture of our youth obscure .. it just means that those that don't look outside a particular bubble won't see a bigger landscape.
