1. Saint Seiya: Hades Sanctuary chapters.
2. Hunter x Hunter: Yorkshin City
3. Ranma 1/2 OVA and Ranma 1/2 Super.

All of them just continuations of their respective TV series, but are technically OVAs anyway, so they count.

Haven't seen much OVAs yet, Hellsing Ultimate is planned to be my next one.

I keep forgetting about outbreak, hahaha
Did it ever get a sequel?

Sadly, Outbreak doesn't have a sequel, but it ends on a cliffhanger. I won't give up hope for it.

@-daijoubu- Legend of the Galactic Heroes has been on my personal watch list since I started watching anime on a regular basis, but I consider it an "aniem" due to it being so fking long (I obv understand it's an OVA, but I am approaching it on the percpective you correctly interpreted xd).

Fortunately enough, it has gotten a big fandom requesting it's sequel. FYI, same fandom has made a lot of Dojinshis and you can find most of them online (and I have to admit they are not half bad especially if you are that immidate with the series ;) no pun intended xd )

Honorable mentions to Birth and Angel's Egg, too. And the Master Keaton (which I could probably put on that list) and Taiho Shichau zo/You're Under Arrest ovas, but I kinda think of them as part of their tv series, rather than full ovas.

I can't really see its fandom big, but it's subjective. For all I know, I see Higurashi being mentioned when talking about good anime, but I can't really see alot of people praising how good the show is. For sure though, I haven't really looked up doujinshi for it (I don't even know where, I don't know much about doujinshis).

Yeah I forgot about Terra Formars: Bugs 2-hen.
It can be regarded as standalone because the TV the followed wasn't that great.
