Gonna start with the one that upsets me the most. Did you know there was a Phantom Blood movie? That is, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure's first major arc, Phantom Blood.
It was animated by the same studio that did the Stardust Crusaders OVA, Studio A.P.P.P., and brought the shortest arc in the series to the big screen. You'd think hey, a wide released adaptation of one of the most influential manga of all time. surely it's not that lost.
Nope. It's gone like the wind. Nobody knows entirely why, but people point to the manga's author, Hirohiko Araki, disapproving of it. To paraphrase his words, it sucked shit through a straw.
Not in THOSE words obviously. But he didn't like it.
As of now, all that survives is a few minutes of mute footage given to sound editors for practice and a PS2 adaptation of the movie.
