A quick google brings up threads full of them, especially unreleased stuff. E.g. https://www.reddit.com/r/lostmedia/comments/w1ccks/talk_lost_anime/

[Shirahata no Shoujo Ryuuko](https://myanimelist.net/anime/9546/Shirahata_no_Shoujo_Ryuuko) is lost media, I couldn't find it anywhere

Sukeban Deka OVA. I'm not sure about the series or the live action as I never knew those existed until right now. I've got VHS (!?) copies of both OVA episodes but haven't seen it anywhere else. 

I think I actually own one. It's a five minute OVA for a toy line of transforming trains from the 90s sitting at the end of a VHS toy catalogue.

The 2007 JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Phantom Blood movie from APPP is pretty much lost media since it never got released on home video.

[Gothicmade](https://myanimelist.net/anime/7781/Gothicmade__Hana_no_Utame) has never gotten a home release, only runs in theaters. Someday it'll be shown for the last time, if it hasn't already.

Also I think many of the OG Doraemon episodes have been lost

There are a ton of them, especially with older titles. Maybe not as many as other mediums, but they still exist.

naturally there are a lot of them, it's just that most are unknown

i can remember the first doraemon series and mon cheri coco

Kenny Lauderdale is a YouTuber who talks about old, hard to find anime all the time so you should check his stuff out if you want more information but there's definitely lost media like this one
