Halo Legends

Much like how the west loves eastern media, the east also loves their share of western media.

For other classic examples, check out the anime made for the World Masterpiece Theater!

Adaptations, sequels, prequels and spin-offs of western films, TV shows and literature in anime format

Standalone OVAs from 2000-2009.
Eve no Jikan is labeled on MAL as an ONA, but won the OVA Category during the 2010 Tokyo Anime Award.
There are potentially other OVAs that are labeled as ONAs that aren't included in this list.

Others notable Non OVAs included:
Halo Legends is an ONA.
Mizu no Kotoba is a special.
Interstella5555: The 5tory of The 5ecret 5tar 5ystem is a music video.

Most of these are narrative shorts with Sci-Fi theme or just a futuristic setting.
Cyberpunk, post-apocalyptic, robots and androids, space opera, time travel, you know the drill.
A few are a bit abstract and surreal, and also some nice fitting music videos in the middle.

anime based on video games that weren't made in asia

MAL for some reason does not list Dante's Inferno. The Dead Space movies, while being made by Western animation studios, are also definitely anime inspired and could be in this list.

Shout! Factory, LLC, trading as Shout! Studios (formerly known as Shout! Factory) is an American home video and music distributor founded in 2002 as Retropolis Entertainment. Its video releases, issued in DVD or Blu-ray format, include previously released feature films, classic and contemporary television series, animation, live music, and comedy specials. Considered a boutique Blu-ray label, Shout! Studios, in addition to its mainline home video releases, also releases films under the sublabels Scream Factory (for horror film releases), Shout!

In its anime catalog, it has interesting titles that could be seen and enjoyed by anyone, although most of them are films distributed by GKIDS.

Anime anthologies may not be as popular as the regular anime films or serialized shows, But they've been in existence for a very long time, Entertaining fans through numerous short stories that feature different characters, Genres and worlds, Often connected by an overarching theme.

Grumpy Jii-san was an anime reviewer and hiking enthusiast. Many of us were fond of him. This is the fourth part of a list of the anime he reviewed in video order from oldest to newest. They are presented without his score as mild encouragement for you to watch his reviews.
