Anime that are partially or fully lost.
Notes: I’m not including series that are only missing dubs. I’m not including anime that were previously lost media but have now been found. There are many series that I have been unable to find in the MAL database and therefore have not included. And, lastly, the information in this list is sourced from the Lost Media Wiki.

List of anime that are either partially found/lost, or lost completely. Will not include found anime

At the moment, the info I have isn’t completed, but I’ll still keep this public in case you get interested in searching for these. Will keep updating soon. And if I made any mistakes on here, please let me know so I can fix it. Now then, have fun learning about old lost anime!

A basic recommendation of anime classics starting from the important year 1963 when Astro Boy debuted. Only one anime per franchise allowed, and selection is partly based on watchability, so you can get right into what seems interesting.

This is the first part of five, this part covers 1963–1974

Part 2 (1975–1986): https://myanimelist.net/stacks/57265
Part 3 (1987–1998): https://myanimelist.net/stacks/57268
Part 4 (1999–2010): https://myanimelist.net/stacks/57273
Part 5 (2011–2022): https://myanimelist.net/stacks/57279

In the first years of this part much anime was black and white. During all the years experimental and pioneering anime paved the way for franchises, companies, and the industry as a whole. 1969 was an especially strong year for anime (Sazae-san, Dororo, Tiger Mask, Attack no.1, Puss in Boots, Himitsu no Akko-chan, Moomin, The Flying Ghost Ship, Animerama 1).
