Line 2:
* The original ''[[Suzumiya Haruhi]]'' manga, based on the light novels and written before the highly successful anime, was disowned by its publisher. Most records of its existence were erased. They didn't even try to capitalize on the series' newfound immense popularity from 2006 on by bringing it back; instead, another manga by another author was commissioned in order to capitalize on the phenomenon. One possible reason for this is that the first author did some [[Hentai]] [[Doujinshi]] about the very same series he was drawing, and firing him and disowning his work was the only way the publishers got to manage the affair. Another likely reason is that the artwork for the first manga was ''terrible''.

** Given that [[Rei Hiroe]] [[Pen Name|almost openly]] draws H-doujinshis to ''[[Black Lagoon|his own manga]]'', it's probably the latter. The art there was an utter crap.

* The [[Beach Episode]] of ''[[Sailor Moon]] R'' seems to have been disowned, not even appearing on the "uncut" English boxset. Their excuse was that [[Naoko Takeuchi]] hadn't liked the episode anyway. Then again, who did? ''Dinosaurs'', people...
* ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam]]'' has "[[Missing Episode|Episode 15:]] Kukurus Doan's Island", which wasn't featured on the US broadcast or DVD boxset at the request of [[Yoshiyuki Tomino]], who felt it wasn't up to the standard of the rest of the series thanks to horrendously [[Off-Model]] moments. Ironically, some fans would have preferred that they kept "Doan" and instead removed the previous episode "Time, Be Still", which covers the same concept but not as well and also has tortuously slow pacing. The episode is also still present on the Japanese set, released much later.

** Another set of strips titled "Italy Scribbles" were purged from the site in 2008 for containing sexual content involving France, Spain, and the child version of Italy. Though France and Spain back down before they cross the [[Moral Event Horizon]], their overall behavior in the comic shocked some fans when these strips were also recovered and scanlated.
* ''[[Strike Witches]]'', despite its current successful anime, light novels, and manga series, had a very rocky start that's been quietly ignored by the writers. For the first manga, "Maidens of the Blue Sky," the artist was originally told to make it a bit [[Ecchi]]. It was then canceled because it was ''too'' ecchi and focused too much on [[Fan Service]] at the expense of everything else (which, believe it or not, is still true, even compared to the current anime). The second manga, "Maidens in the Sky," wasn't much better. The problem this time was just that it wasn't very good, and contradicted the anime in quite a few ways. Although the actual events in these manga have since been ignored, the characters in them have actually reappeared in newer material.

* Robotech: The majority of the surviving voice actors who worked on the show seem to be enjoying their belated fame. Kerrigan Mahan (Sean Phillips and Bron) seems to be an exception to this. He appears to just have selective amnesia concerning the show.
* According with [http://pastebin.com/nv6PJYQA this interview], [[Shuichi Ikeda]]'s biggest shame was making [[Mobile Suit Gundam|Char Aznable]] going out of character in the ''SD Gundam'' shorts and OVAs.
