* AdoredByTheNetwork: ''Manga/BlackClover'' quickly became Crunchyroll's favorite series to push when the anime was released, and the site was pushing hard for it to become the next ''Manga/{{Naruto}}''. Unfortunately, the anime's incredibly rough start, paired with the general concensus that ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'' was seen as ''Naruto''[='=]s SpiritualSuccessor lead to them quietly dropping the sheer amount of marketing they had for the series once said marketing backfired and caused many to see the series as a joke, only picking the marketing up again when it came into its own, but never again pushing it as hard as they did initially.

** It's easy to forget nowadays, but Crunchyroll themselves [[https://www.forbes.com/2009/08/04/online-anime-video-technology-e-gang-09-japan.html#2628b7ac576a started out as one of the most well-known pirates in the industry]] before going legitimate, and even during (and before) that process there was quite a few instances of them claiming work done by other fansubbers as their own. Crunchyroll themselves like to distance themselves from these particular roots, barely acknowledging where they came from at surface level, since ironically the very same piracy they engaged in is now their direct competition, one that they're not all too fond of acknowledging.
** Their declaration of ''Manga/BlackClover'' as "[[ThisIsGoingToBeHuge The New King]] of [[ShonenDemographic Shonen]]". To those who were familiar with the series, this was seen as comedic since the manga wasn't as popular as was expected, as it was referred to as "The New ''Manga/{{Bleach}}''". Furthermore, because the anime had such a rough start [[GrowingTheBeard before it grew into its own]] at a much later point, it was heavily mocked; Crunchyroll quietly dropped the declaration as a result.

** Before ''[[Literature/MyYouthRomanticComedyIsWrongAsIExpected Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Come wa Machigatteiru]]'' ("My youth romantic comedy is wrong, as I expected") even started airing, it was re-titled for the English crowd: ''[[https://www.crunchyroll.com/my-teen-romantic-comedy-snafu My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU]]''. It's not clear if this was to avoid naughty interpretations of the word "wrong," shorten the LongTitle, or both.

* KillerApp: While Crunchyroll experienced modest growth over the years, it was really the one-two punch of simulcasting ''LightNovel/SwordArtOnline'' in 2012 and ''Attack on Titan'' in 2013, which caused the service to explode in popularity.
