Whats an OVA ?

Question

Whats an OVA ?

Answer 1

it stands 4 some thing that i can't remember off the top of my head right now, but basically an ova is an extra episode in an anime that is slightly longer than normal and actually has nothing 2 do w/the series. they're kinda like mini movies in a way. often times they're not of high quality work and just mark a speacial event in japan so most don't even make it over 2 america

Answer 2

When having to do with anime an ova is an abbreviation for Original video animation and is basically the parts of a anime dvd that has nothing to do with the story but rather just a short extra.Ova also means "egg" in latin.

Answer 3

Original Video Animation. Usually not as long as an anime TV series. Only come out on DVDs and are never released on television (usually).  They can either be an add on to a TV anime series or a stand alone.  (they follow the same kind run time and layout as TV anime though)

Answer 4

"Original video animation"

"A term originating from Japanese animation (anime) for animated films and series which are made specially to be released on home video formats. The majority are released direct-to-video, without prior showings on TV or in theatres, however, there may be very rare occasions where, for example, the first part of an OVA series is broadcast for promotional purposes. OVA titles were originally made available on VHS, later becoming more popular on LaserDisc and eventually DVD."
