JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Phantom Blood (partially found anime film based on manga; 2007)
A screenshot from one of the film's trailers.
Status: Lost
Produced and given a limited release in 2007 in Japan was JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Phantom Blood, an 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 released in cinemas, before being promptly shelved; the reason behind this was that Hirohiko was so disappointed that one of his characters (and a favourite one, at that), Speedwagon, had been cut from the story, that he disowned the movie, ordering it to be shelved indefinitely, never to receive another screening or home video release of any kind.
The only visual evidence of the film available today is a leaked clip containing a rough cut of the first 16 minutes (with the film's official soundtrack unofficially dubbed over - no voice audio), and two trailers that showed up online before the movie's release in Japanese theatres.
