I'm sure Rumbler will chime in but we tend to watch 80s/90s era anime/whatever is available on youtube. Also they tend to be movies or OVAs that only a few episodes. For example: last week we watched Lensman: The Secret of the Lens and an episode from the Dirty Pair OVA's. They've definitely been more "serious" anime played time from time.
I personally recommend this Sunday: Hurricane Polymar Holy Blood(which is an awesome title btw). I recently watched a few days ago and it's a two part OVA, features sweet Umetsu designs(Kite,Mezzo Forte,Wizard Barristers), filled with really high quality action scenes. It does however have goofy-camera-squinteyes and kinda odd humor.
