Lost media/unavailable anime
AnimeUnlisted
Anime that are either lost or just unavailable for public distribution. I tried to go really obscure in here, but it also has mainstream entries.
Not in the list:
-Naruto Shounen-hen: reairings of old Naruto episodes with fixed VFX and added CGI. While I don't think any of the episodes are "lost", it turns out that the opening theme song is.
-Tsubu Doll: OVAs centered on a group of idols from Sagamihara. The OVAs were meant to promote tourism in Sagamihara. Cancelled.
-Sailor Moon The Miracle 4D: a 4D movie that's been briefly aired on Universal Studios Japan, but hasn't received a home release of any kind.
