Anime and Manga Lost Media - A Compilation of Classic Mysteries

While it might seem like lost media from Japanese animation doesn't get talked about as much as American cartoons, there are still a lot of really interesting and unsolved mysteries from many popular franchises.

[@NoelComiX]

Hannah Montana makes perfect sense for an anime. Idol Girl who transforms, plus American stuff is exotic. Last shot in the closing credits must have been a wig and mic under a spotlight.

[@TheCbazza]

Hannah magical girl transformation would have been so cool But would the series be magical girl or stay a little more faithful to the original and be more “Slice of life “ and comedy

[@NoelComiX]

@@TheCbazza could do both. I used to joke with my friend about a hm anime never knowing it was actually being planned lol. Just my random sense of humor.

On one hand, we can only ever appreciate leakers for telling us things we would have never know about without them. On the other hand I really don't feel good about people risking their jobs and livelihoods to give us information that we would have gotten in a month anyway. For cancelled stuff like this? Sure, but actively used DBZ sheets don't seem AS important to get out like two months ahead of time, especially if it risks your job. Probably something I'm missing about this system, but that's my 2 cents.

[@JacobJohnson-lh4gx]

Most probably the guy who leaked the Hannah Montana anime got banned and blacklisted from ever working in any animation studios in the Philippines. The industry there is small and niche, people know other people from other studios. He's most likely working as a customer support representative for an outsourced company from other countries. He/she probably didn't care about his/her life that he's willing to share the info about the anime even with an NDA risking his whole career over it just for the validation and thrills basically committing career suicid3. Gotta admit tho the thing he did was ballsy but a really stupid move in my opinion. It'll be nice if they came back and share what they've been doing nowadays.

I wonder if there was also a Tie-In Manga also planned for the Hannah Montanah anime? It'd only make sense. Id've been down to read it! Also, fun fact: "Castle in the Sky" is infamous among the Spanish speaking community because the name of the eponymous castle (Laputa) is a well known Spanish slang word that means "whore" and as such it became hard to take the Spanish dubs seriously. Hell, you can even hear the VAs struggling not to laugh at various points! Why the translators never bothered to rename the castle during localization is beyond me.

[@lpfan4491]

A piece of Yu-gi-oh lost media that I like because it's just so bizzare is the uncut japanese footage of the capsule monsters-arc. The capsule monsters-arc is a noncanon bonus-arc of the english dub of the Duel Monsters-anime(Just called Yu-gi-oh in the west) that was commissioned and written by 4Kids. Here's the funny part: We know jack all about this, except that it exists because it is listed on Studio Gallop's site and the chance of 4kids using all of the footage that was made is basically 0, they are very cuthappy in their editing. We have no idea if a dub or even a script to go along with the footage even exists, as the only public info on it is that the release was cancelled.(And it indeed was, lol) I know LSuperSonicQ says that non-english localizations aren't that interessting, but I feel like this is the biggest an exception can possible get. Not only are the english and japanese versions of the franchise very diffrent, but we actually have precedent for this type of stuff being potentially relevant, with how the Movie had the same type of case. It's possible that if enough material on this exists, that there is legitimate content that the world simply never saw. And if there is actually nothing, I'd want this mystery to at least be solved already.

The issue with Phantom blood was actually copyright. Back in the day viz media wasn’t around yet and also the company had no idea how to market it outside Japan. No company wanted to take it at all. So the animation company got stuck and held on to the film. Japan tends to lose a lot of older films for some reason but it’s out there somewhere.

[@gerardogarcia8132]

That makes no sense as Viz is an American company that doesn't operate it Japan, so it wouldn't have any bearing to the movie never getting a Japanese home media release

There's one piece of Lost anime media I know of, it's the Powerpuff girls Z pilot made by Toei animation.

[@chocochan013]

I find the Castle in the Sky thing so weird because besides for the third pic... I recognize all of those scenes. They're all scenes from the movie: 1. is the ending, when the credits begin to play, and Pazu and Sheeta are waving goodbye to the pirates, taking off in their own air balloon. 2. is when Sheeta is tellling Pazu how she was taken away by Mooska and his men, and it's a flashback to that happening on her farm. 3. I have no idea what the third pic is, tbh. Definitely looks like one of the ships though, so it could be that or from the opening sequence. 4. is the climatic scene (sorry for the spoilers, but hey it's over 40 years old) , where Pazu hugs Sheeta and tells her to tell him the destruction spell that they then say together which defeats Mooska and in turn destroys a bit of Laputa (although it's presented it's for the floating castle's own good.) It's actually one of my favorite scenes in the whole film.

[@FoxxyRin]

I'm like 90% sure the third frame is from one of the special segments on one of the Blu Rays, which had a steelbook in 2019 or 2020 (around the time of that tweet). I feel like all of the clips are probably just from some of the special features where some cells and sketches and whatnot were shown...

[@cabbusses]

I don't know if this is useful or not, but I remember while in an old IRC anime group, a certain one that ripped Hulu Japan encodes of early Pokemon episodes without paka-paka scene edits, there was some speculation that the Christmas episode "Rujura no Christmas" may have potentially had a version like that; for proper context, this episode was originally set to air after "Dennou Senshi Porygon" and the hiatus the Porygon episode caused effectively canceled it. As such the episode's first proper release was on the Pikachu no Natsuyasumi VHS, where there are some scenes that seem to suggest post-Porygon paka-paka editing (Of course, one of them is a Pikachu thunder attack, but a scene of Charmander using fire is also unusually choppy in framerate). I doubt you'd have any potential leads on if such a thing actually existed, and it's probably not notable to find, but I figured maybe it'd be something to discuss and think about. While technically more "game" than "anime", I think the early prerelease builds of Battle Heat for PC-FX might also be good for this video, as it has many animations not seen in the final game, suggesting a way more ambitious project at first. Also, there's still many Terebikko video tapes that are not documented or ripped, if anyone'd want to potentially dive into silly anime VHS games. I could go for a better rip of Atsumare! Goku World...

[@ggtwinbee8506]

I found out that the Hokuto no Ken didn’t just have a uncensored version but also unused content form an early version of it.

Just wanna add on to the "battle tendency teaser rumour" now we have more information. According to a "Making of Jojos bizarre adventure OVA VHS tape" we actulaly know that APPP Did infact intend on making not just part 3 and 1 but also 2, 4, AND 5! BUT the teaser at the end of the film is very liekly not real itself. so the initial rumour is flase, but coincedentally based in soem sort of reality. -SeriousSeiko, Former JJBA PB Archives Mod.

The anime adaptation of Moomins 1969-1970 has lost episodes due to the creative differences between the studio(s) and the creator so there's a lot of lost eps as Tove Jansson forced them to change producers cuz the first ones made her moomins no longer "her moomins" as the first iteration had added guns, alcohol and fights as well as ruder dialogue.

[@HydraSpectre1138]

Here's another piece of Evangelion-related lost media that was also mentioned in the audio commentary. In the ADV Platinum commentary for Episode 2, Matt Greenfield (English dub director and voice of Makoto Hyuga) mentioned that Spike Spencer (voice of Shinji Ikari) and Amanda Winn-Lee (voice of Rei Ayanami) were in an independent film together. Spencer then mentions that nobody ever saw it, he was not even sure released publicly, and that the film was called Imposters. I posted around for it and it barely got any attention. I even posted on Twitter while @'ing both Winn-Lee and Spencer but Spencer only liked my tweet, and no other info came out. Here's all the info about the film we know: - The film was called Impsoters. - The film had appearances from Evangelion voice actors Spike Spencer and Amanda Winn-Lee. - The film may have never been released. That's it. No info about the plot, the crew, the director, when it was filmed, where it was shot.

"Anime was not very popular in america in the early 2010s..." You're probably quite a bit younger than me, but I don't believe this is true at all. Even in the mid 00's most of the saturday morning cartoon blocks on broadcast TV were dubbed anime, and by the 2010s it was firmly mainstream.

Hey man. I recently found a rare and obscure English dub of the Hokuto No Ken anime called "Ken The Great Bear Fist". It was a test dub produced by Toei in the 1980's for promotional purposes in order to sell the rights of the series to potential foreign licensees. There's no footage of the dub, and the only media that exists is the title card and the English script for Episode 12.

[@ARDIZsq]

It's not anime related, but I very vividly remember once hearing an extended version of the Ben 10 theme song. There was only 1-2 extra lines from what I remember, but it's still extended, and I cannot for the life of me find it. I've looked everywhere online I could imagine, but nothing yet. I only had 1-2 DVDs as a kid, but I doubt it was on there, so it was either on TV (probably for an event), or on an earlier version of KZbin and has since been removed. I'd LOVE to hear that extended version again if it truly exists, but so far no luck in tracking it down.

[@l-eaglestone]

The closest to what you're mentioning is the version of the theme from the live-action movie, Ben 10: Race Against Time. Thing is, it's a more of a rock cover version of the original, but it does have a line or two more, even if it's just counting from 1 to 10. I have doubts regarding the original TV series' intro version having an extended version even by a line, because the highest available quality of the audio ends cleanly. Still, it might be what you're looking for (assuming you haven't checked that one)?

[@rookeealding2803]

it might have played on loop on a neopets advert game. way back in the day they would over neopoints if you played an advertisers flash game. Ben ten had one, it was some sort of puzzle game and it played the theme song as it's background. It might have had the extra lines, might not have. Can't remember.

I think I borrowed a copy of the Dragon Ball Blood Rubies on DVD movie dub from a library in California a while back... but it's been three to four years since I had been to a library in California and I don't know if they still have an intact copy. Anyone in California with a library copy should try looking it up in a California library's catalog, but like I said it's been about three to four years, as I remember it vaguely

The specific dub mentioned in this video never got a home release. That doesn't mean that the library in California couldn't have somehow possibly come across the tape from the airline that supposedly showed the film. It's just very unlikely.

[@royaldayz18]

I'm shocked I hadn't heard of Advent Heroes. Though, its worth noting YGO has a lot more lost media, as long as you're willing to consider scrapped movies and plotlines and episode summaries as lost media (which I do.) Stuff like Ygo Vs GX, a crossover between the original series and GX, or a series of Zexal episodes where the episode summaries originally given do NOT line up with the final episodes at all (with a general summarization being "a different version of the finale would've happened 20+ episodes earlier, but when its over the main character wakes up in a world where their best friend never existed, and fights a mysterious newcomer named Proto.)

[@lpfan4491]

I mean, Lost media is media that was lost. Media that was never produced isn't lost, except maybe in a cultural sort of sense. Because the Yugioh anime like other anime only had a few episodes finished ahead of scedule at a time, it's unlikely that anything of these Zexal-episodes was even started, besides the general plotoutline.

[@ARDIZsq]

Man, my favorite? anime lost media are all of the anime cels that have just been straight up destroyed. Some companies burned cels on purpose, some were destroyed in accidents, but either way, it's sad that so many anime cels just don't exist anymore. Also yeah, that "Evangelion" AIDs PSA thing is just great.

[@hdofu]

Also your pitch pilot theory is spot on, the only possibility this might get leaked is if someone who was there from the beginning left with it and either they are still alive or some descendant who understands of its importance to the lost media community.

The castle of the sky stills are not alternate endings or a pilot. This is from a documentary on Studio Ghibli on its early days. I can faintly recognise kanji for names but I just need a higher quality version to be able to be sure on the Kanjis. They are not subtitles and I'm 100% on that. You do not get subtitles for Japanese shows in Japan especially back in the early days. The stills were production cells that were unused and it is notorious for animations to have unused stills. Hell even some early hentai ones exist. This is not a pilot or a alternate ending.

[@canniballemons6930]

Fun fact: the first 60 episodes of the harmony gold version had scripts in english and were used for the first Latin American Spanish dub made in mexico, but it was a flop. Later, it got re dubbed with new voices and same script in english by Harmony Gold. However, after episode 60 we got it translated directly from Japanese, fixing various terms and making it more consistent, this is the dub everyone in latin america knows today

Speaking of lost anime media, there’s a block or promo that I have been looking for but haven’t been able to find yet. Is there anyone here that could help? I remember watching Cartoon Network one night in 2001 when they transitioned into what looked like a new block. I didn’t recognize it. The bumpers consisted of colorful circles moving across a white screen. It almost looked like a Twister mat. The reason why I remember this is because the show that I watched with those bumpers that night was Yu-Gi-Oh! It went on to become my favorite show as a kid but after that first episode I watched, I never saw those particular bumpers again. It was “not” Cartoon Network’s Prime Time block. Prime Time did have “similar” bumpers but I was a big fan of Prime Time as a kid too. I’m sure it wasn’t that. What I have to go on so far: I’m sure that the year was 2001 because my family had just moved. We were still unpacking boxes. There used to be a website that collected classic TV schedules. Looking through it, I saw that there was something on Cartoon Network’s schedule in 2001 called The WB Showcase or WB Presents or something along those lines. I went back to confirm the name but I guess that the website was taken down. Regardless, the name made it sound like it was a block of shows from The WB that they aired on Cartoon Network. For those that don’t know, The WB would be rebranded to The CW a few years later. It’s a long story. That would make sense to me. The WB did premier new episodes of Yu-Gi-Oh! for years. However, I have not been able to find any clips from “The WB presents” block either… Could anyone help me find… A.) What the bumpers I saw that night were for and… B.) Where I could watch them today? Thanks!

Discotek Media is finally releasing HD remasters of Project A-Ko (one of the most important anime films of all time, which had its original negatives lost until recently, and most releases had to be taken from LaserDisc captures) and Violence Jack (which would also be completely uncensored for the first time, since the uncut Japanese version still blurred out/pixelated the nudity, and the Hong Kong version had some cuts even if it has fully uncensored nudity). The Hong Kong version of Violence Jack was also in very poor quality compared to the LaserDisc and DVD releases as it was a VCD release.

Somewhere around 2013-2015 here in Finland Sub TV showed the whole American dub of Dragonball Z in the course of the summer. I watched every single episode and waited for the final episode like nothing else. When the episode started my jaw dropped. It was the German dub for some reason. I was so disappointed I just turned off the TV. It would be fascinating to know the reason behind that decision. Was it because they didn't have the US. dub? Did someone just screw up and if they did why in the world did they have German dub laying around the studio? Here in Finland I have never ever heard another German dubbed TV program and seriously doubt that anyone else has since the official languages are finnish and swedish and 95% understand english.

Also, little Nemo is absolutely a thing! I remember that movie extremely well.

I really want to see the lost Yugioh Zexal dub, it’s crazy that it’s out there but I’d doubt we’d ever see it

I hope someday LssQ talks about the Halloween Anime mentioned in a Fangoria Article once and then never made...

I wonder if kenshiro's name being shown off as Ken Shiro in the angel comics translation was an error or the translators trying to make it more "accessible" in some way.

RIP Kazuki Takahashi the Yu-Gi-Oh creator, wonder what will happen to his site now, but the chances of recovering Advent Heroes from it are now abysmal

[@dollelectrique8436]

There’s an episode of yugioh GX about a possessed doll who ends up duelling jaden and it’s my favourite episode I’m the Japanese version every episode would tease the following ep and in the teaser for the doll episode (from the episode before) a card is shown and we see the artwork and I think the name but from what I remember we don’t see what the card actually does (it’s an effect monster) I don’t know if it’s considered lost media but it’s weird it appears in the preview but has no relevance in the following episode and never appeared again

[@lpfan4491]

It's unknown if there is lost media associated to this, considering the anime was one of the weekly shows, as in the minimum rate of production was one episode per week. But this type of thing happened a lot. And I mean A LOOOOT. Zexal and 5Ds have entire arcs scrapped due to later rewrites and a decent amount of stuff is still referenced in the released material, just like that one teaser.

[@daseal1479]

We gotta start bugging Discotek for that F-Zero release, I love their output of older, more obscure stuff.

The first time I saw Dragon ball Z was in junior high school. It had been recorded from a Japanese TV channel and sent to a kid in one of my classes. It was the episode when Gohan first went Super Sayian 2. It was fuckin awesome!!!

[@axeoseilez3207]

Its a longshot but heres an idea for the lost dragonball dub. Maybe check with the airlines in the area of japan and see if maybe they have a copy in their warehouse.

[@LazyPirate8]

Can you please cover the lost YUGIOH UNCUT DUB? The Red Eyes Black Dragon SET?

[@hdofu]

If 4kids did the dub... the only reason it'd be worth watching is for the lolz, 4kids was notorious for castrating anime, case and point One Piece

[@SlapstickGenius23]

I thought Toei forced 4Kids to ‘castrate’ One Piece into a piece of crud.

[@lightyagami3492]

4kids is the main reason anime was painted as "children's shows" instead of being something that for all ages. 4kids literally started the stigma that some people still believe today.

[@SlapstickGenius23]

@@lightyagami3492 to make things much worse, the infamous Bobby Kotick was the first CEO of 4Kids Productions. Then he got replaced as the CEO by the longer lasting and just as corrupt (if not more so) Al Kahn.

[@lpfan4491]

Some of the 4kids-dubs are actually pretty decent to good. It's just as possible for FZero to have been one of the good ones as it is for it to have been one of the bad ones. Though I guess people could make rough estimations on the material that did release?

[@gerardogarcia8132]

@@SlapstickGenius23 No, the only thing they did was license it, the censorship was all 4kids

As far as the Frontier DB dub goes, has anyone looked into finding any potential past employees of Japan Airlines? I know its a SUPER long shot, but maybe someone would have kept a copy of it if they were throwing out old videos or something of the like.

Too bad Kazuki Takahashi is dead now. We'll never know. Big RIP!

theres also some marvel anime namely DIsk wars avengers that has a english dub that is technically lost media as it only aired in english speaking parts of asia. some clips prove its existence. but no one has found the full dub

[@gerardogarcia8132]

Isn't that on Disney+ now?

[@nielsen145]

well i did own something you could called lost media, my ex gf stole it, over 10years ago and iam pretty sure she threw out, but i did own a VHS with complication of Fist of The North star for both seasons, i have been trying to track it down since and when i look after it, could not really find any clues about it, not on mal, anidb or any other sites, yes it was subbed and i havent seen rips of it either on different sites, so iam pretty sad about losing it, i bought the vhs when i was 14 for 20$ used, circa 00-01 on a local shop and heck they were even sure what they had, same shop i bought angel cop and 3x3 eyes also on vhs and i have a problem with my dvd boxset of fist of the norst star, first of all, i cant find it online, 2nd it dont seem like a bootleg, the sheir size of it and weight also, says something, 2nd the disc are not burned either and made out thick stock also, its not cheaply made, then again i bought it used

[@nox5555]

Japan airline used VHS? if yes, they maybe make their way to ebay or other sites in the future.
