Produced and given a limited theatrical release in 2007 in Japan was JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Phantom Blood, a 90 minute anime feature film based on the first part of Araki Hirohiko's 1986-present manga series JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. The film, produced by Studio APPP (with Hideko Futamara serving as director) was only ever publicly shown in Japanese cinemas, before being promptly and indefinitely shelved; the reason behind this has never been officially revealed, though it is largely assumed to have been the result of Studio APPP neglecting to give a number of characters enough screen time (with one of the main characters, -and one of Hirohiko's favourites, at that- Speedwagon, only appearing in a single scene) and that the run time didn't do the story justice, leading to a negative response both on the part of fans and of the series' creator.[1]
The film, to this day, remains unavailable, although roughly 18 minutes of footage are currently available, in the form of two trailers released before its theatrical debut, as well as a 16 minute collection of random clips (albeit with the dialogue removed, instead being replaced by tracks from the film's official soundtrack), the latter of which surfaced online in 2012 after being given out to an Academy of Art University student by their professor (as part of a project); the aforementioned 16 minute compilation can be seen below.
