* Sadly, despite being the eighth longest-running manga in existence, [=JoJo=] was never properly adapted into an anime series, even though there was an [[{{OVA}} OVA series]] based on Part III and a feature film adaptation of Part I, and ''even then'', the Part III series was yanked from U.S. shelves over some controversy regarding the Qu'ran, and the film was poorly received (even by the author) and was [[NoExportForYou never released on DVD or any other format]].
