So i was watching yu-gi-oh season 0 and found out that it never got a DVD release, only VHS and a movie in both VHS and laserdisc. 
I'm curious, what's an anime that never got a DVD release? It can be a series, movie and ovas.
I don't mind if the anime its good or bad, i just want to know what anime stayed in VHS without a rerelease and why.

EDIT: So i found a few series for the people who are curious as me.

Download - Namu Amida Butsu wa Ai no Uta (a cyberpunk movie)

Super Mario Bros: Peach-Hime Kyushutsu Dai Sakusen! (as you can imagine, Its a anime movie based on the mario game)

koni-chan! (uh... random stuff about... koni-chan and his friends...)
fire emblem ova (anime version of fire emblem)

Hey There.... First of all, if you don't mind the 4kids releases, then you may be happy to know that Cinedigm released the YuGiOh initial seasons on DVD, and you can still find them on Amazon.

For the next part of your question, The series I would buy in an instant if they released them to DVD are the Zoids series: Chaotic Century, Guardian Force, New Century Zero.  All of those were aired on Cartoon Network but never had a full North American release.

 

In a more recent series, I keep waiting for Funimation to release "Laughing Under the Clouds", which they've dubbed and streamed. Every month I watch their release schedule, but its not listed yet.

 

This isn't an anime, but I really wish they would have released Aaron Stone on DVD. That was a fun series!

I think you're confusing it for the duel monster series. 4kids wouldn't touch season 0 with a 10 foot pole. Too dark for their taste, just like how they skip a whole season of yugioh GX due to the dark plot.

Zoids... I completely forgot about that series. it was a good series, didn't know they haven't release an american DVD set of it, it came in the start of the 2000's if i remember correctly. odd.

 

But at least the streamed version has a decent resolution. I asked about old anime getting a DVD/BD release because they got stock in old 360p scan lines quality. (watch old vhs movies and commercial and you will see what i mean)

But yeah, i tend to wish they would release a DVD/BD set whenever they make a good dub of a series. sadly, they don't have that as a priority.

 

It was ok, it kept me entertain when it aired on TV, but i have notice that a lot of shows are only being streamed instead of making physical copies. well, you could always download it and burn it into a disc if you wanted a physical copy. (although it won't be official of course)
