* ''[[Spider Riders]]'' (2006). An adaptation of children novels, went largely unnoticed by the fandom despite being one of the few Bee Train long-runners.
* ''[[Murder Princess]]'' (2007). A minor manga adaptation. Probably intended as an effort to improve Bee Train's reputation in this field, the OVA remained thoroughly faithful to the original. Going mostly unnoticed, it's still remembered by some fans.
* ''[[El Cazador
* ''[[Spider Riders]]: Yomigaeru Taiyou'' (2007). A sequel to ''Spider Riders'', attracted even less attention.
* ''[[Blade of the Immortal]]'' (2008). The first major manga adaptation since ''Tsubasa''.

A short OVA that focuses on the tragedies involving the SPARTAN-II recruitment in the year 2517, and a particular Spartan, Daisy-023, coming to terms with her origins as she tries to lead a small squad of soldiers to safety. One of the more tragic, emotional stories in the [[Halo Legends]] package, fitting with Bee Train's approach to storytelling.
