Status: Partially found
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 main 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 film, to this day, remains unreleased, 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.
