The OVA market dried up as straight to video releases became a thing of the past, which is unfortunate because a lot of interesting and unique anime were released in this format. The point of the list is to feature worthwhile OVAs that are more than just fanservice or shoddy extras for TV series. Sigh, due to the explicit content warning feature, I've excluded Mezzo Forte, but it would be on here otherwise.

Series which aired on the Sci-fi/Syfy Channel's Ani-Monday block; Ani-Tuesday entries also included. Ordered alphabetically by their English titles.

Every cinema or direct to video anime film that came out in 2001.

Animax was a Spanish subscription television channel of Japanese origin, distributed by Sony Pictures Entertainment under the international Animax brand. It was launched as a channel on April 12, 2008.

On December 4, 2013, it was confirmed that the channel definitively ceased its broadcasts on December 31, 2013, due to its abandonment in recent months.

Animax Spain broadcast popular series and movies and, in some cases, I dare say that it had better programming than the Latin American version.

Historical anime set in the Hein period + a few that feature Abe no Senmei.

The Heian era marked the height of Japan’s initial imperial aristocracy. With a strong focus on the arts, poetry, and literature; it cultivated the rise of samurai skilled in both aesthetics and battle. The Heian period essentially set the stage for the eventual shogunate and feudal period. Although seen as a rather peaceful era, it was actually rife with not all-out battles, but rather intrigue and power grabs behinds the scenes by the country’s most powerful and influential families; namely the Fujiwara, Genji (Minamoto), and Heike (Taira) clans.
