The cover of The Heroic Legend of Arslān.
Yoshiki Tanaka's The Heroic Legend of Arslan was adapted into a manga in November 1991. The manga caught up with the novel and received an original ending in September 1996. The manga received a six-part (unfinished) OVA.
The first two OVA episodes were released as "movies", which is why each one is an hour long, rather than the traditional half-hour, and were produced by Kadokawa Shoten and Sony Music Entertainment Japan. A second OVA series that followed up the first OVAs was released in 1995. Both OVAs were licensed by Central Park Media and were released on DVD and VHS.
