It goes beyond that. Although it did receive a home video release, the VHS tapes are extremely hard to find and rarely show up for sale since they were rental-exclusives. It's not on any sort of streaming service. I've also been told that Discotek no longer has the license, so having them release the original JPN version is out of the question. One could argue that it's not "lost media" and rather "rare media" since it did receive a home video release, but that's getting into technicalities IMO. The fact is, it's extremely hard to find, and there's no way for the general consumer to watch it in any capacity unless you (somehow) have original TV recordings or the aforementioned rental VHS tapes.

We can find copies of those, that's if they aren't Destroyed or Damaged
