🔥 The Lost Anime That Only Exists on Vinyl – Masked Warrior Lavithunder 🔥
More than ever, lost media anime is being uncovered, but what happens when you find an anime that quite literally doesn’t exist? This is the bizarre story of Masked Warrior Lavithunder (仮面戦士ラヴァサンダー)—a supposed anime from the 1980s that left behind no records, no episodes, and almost no proof it was ever real… except for one vinyl record.
In this video, I (Kenny Lauderdale) dive deep into one of the strangest cases of lost anime ever, tracking down every clue, scouring old Japanese magazines, and even consulting anime vinyl expert Marty McFlys to uncover the truth behind this forgotten series.
💿 What makes Masked Warrior Lavithunder so mysterious?
✔️ A vinyl record soundtrack for an anime that might not exist
✔️ No trace of the show in MyAnimeList, IMDb, or Wikipedia
✔️ A canceled anime with an official theme song?
✔️ A lost anime commercial that aired on TV Tokyo in the 80s?
✔️ Rare magazine scans revealing the only known screenshots
🔎 Lost Anime Investigation
This forgotten anime was supposedly created by Pan Media, a little-known animation studio that went bankrupt in 1987 after working on The Wizard of Oz anime adaptation. The only evidence of Lavithunder comes from an anime vinyl record, a short TV commercial, and a few blurry screenshots from a 1987 anime magazine. Did the full series ever exist? Or was it nothing more than a failed TV pitch?
