Sequel First: Difference between revisions

* The FUNimation dub of ''[[One Piece]]'' falls into this trope. When FUNimation picked up the series from 4kids, they also optioned the rights to dub movies. At the request of Toei Animation, FUNimation started on Movie 8, skipping all of the other movies in the One Piece film series. However, the stickers on the DVD identify it as "#8", so they don't appear to be reordering them number-wise.

* ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure|Jojo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' is a good example of this trope. Jojo is split into "Parts", each part including a different main character. When the show was adapted into an Anime, only Part 3 "Stardust Crusaders" was adapted, and they started with the final arc of Part 3, before going back years later and doing the earlier part of the series. This was later released in America, along with a Part 3 Video game by Capcom, and thus Part 3 became the most popular Part of the story in the US. Because of this, when Viz optioned the rights to the Manga, they skipped parts 1 and 2 and went straight to part 3, but removed the "Stardust Crusaders" subtitle, simply showing it as "Jojo's Bizarre Adventure", with no apparent plans to release the first two Parts yet in any form yet.

* In France, the second ''[[Tamagotchi]]'' film came first instead of the first film!
