How about the rest of Leiji's anime that don't have an active project or the ones that have never had one?
There's quite a few specials and one TV series left. I'll list them with a description of the plot.

Dai Yamato Zero-go

Leiji's first attempt to revive the Yamato franchise featuring gorgeous adaptions of his designs from Masunaga Keisuke (Cosmo Warrior Zero, Queen Emeraldas, and SSM). It's an OVA series based on a pachinko game and it looks insane. Would be willing to buy the DVD box if there's any interest.

Plot:

In the galactic group there are more than 100,000,000,000 galaxies, and the Milky Way galaxy, the one which includes Earth's solar system, is only one of these... one of many in the immensity of outer space.

This story starts in the year 3199, when a mighty enemy attacks the Milky Way from a neighbouring galaxy. The enemy engages the combined forces of the Milky Way, an Alliance of many stellar nations, and defeats them one after another.

The remaining Milky Way Alliance forces are reduced to just six fleets. After the Alliance headquarters is destroyed, and when the collapse of the central Milky Way Alliance is imminent, the Great Yamato "Zero" surprises everyone and embarks on a mission to assist the Milky Way Alliance in one last great battle.

Arei no Kagami

An obscure 25 minute film.

The story follows Daichi Meguru and Mayu, a young boy and a pilot, as they flee their war torn planet and into space. Upon their ship a stowaway android named Zero joins their quest as they travel through Halley's Mirror.

Marine Snow no Densetsu

This is actually being remade, but having the original subbed would be nice. http://www.marinesnow.co.jp/

Saint Elmo: Hikari no Raihousha

Another obscure piece of Leiji Matsumoto. AK has a review which you can find here: http://animekritik.wordpress.com/2010/09/14/electric-power-and-matsumoto-the-case-of-saint-elmo/

Inside Mercury, Japan builds a large-sized solar space power plant. The plant supports Earth with its large solar energy supply but suddenly there is an abnormality at the Saint Elmo plant. To pinpoint the problem, Earth sends several technicians to fix it.

Submarine Super 99

This has actually been licensed but the copyright holders never did anything with it, sadly. It's based on an old manga of Leiji Matsumoto and it would be ashame to have it forgotten. Only three episodes have been subbed and I don't know if they're actually still available.

Dr. Oki , the genius scientist who designed a new type of submarine is missing. His son, Susumu, smells an evil scheme of unknown group. He knows everything of his father's submarine called "Super 99" – equipment, weapons, functions and capacity. Susumu thinks that to find his father is to reveal the secret organization, Helmet Party, and stop their conspiracy. With the help of his friends and Marine Corps, he sets out to an underwater quest, not knowing how dangerous his endeavour is…

Thank you.
