Ninja Bugei-chou Pilot Film
An animated pilot for Ninja Bugei-chou that sat in a vault for over thirty years before finally seeing the light of day on a DVD release of Ninpuu Kamui Gaiden. Director Nagisa Ooshima created the pilot back in 1969, hoping to adapt it into a TV series that would build on his 1967 film adaptation. But the original manga creator Shirato rejected the pitch outright, so they pivoted to Ninpuu Kamui Gaiden instead—a spinoff of Shirato's Kamui Den manga. With that change of direction, Ooshima stepped away from the project entirely.
