In October 2024, Wald accused Crunchyroll of opening his private mail, throwing away letters and distributing included items to staff. A Crunchyroll spokesperson said the company was investigating.[2] Wald said the following month that he would depart his role in Fairy Tail and would not return to Crunchyroll's studio.[3]
