Qrusader Posted June 7, 2004 Posted June 7, 2004 I'm sure there will be many, many busts on me, but I never knew what "OVA" stood for.
NERV Posted June 7, 2004 Posted June 7, 2004 I'm sure there will be many, many busts on me, but I never knew what "OVA" stood for. Original Video Animation, it's basiclly a miniseries, higher quality animation because they dont have stretch their budget for a whole series, not as high quality animation as a movie, i know they tend to be more graphic, i dont know if they even air on japanese tv or if they are straight to DVD, might be late night tv in japan

Case in point Mobile Suit Gundam 0083 The Video Stores would get like a New Episode released on VHS every other month for like a Year untill the series was complete.. I tend to think of OVA as Direct to Video Home Movies not a TV Series not a Theaterical release but something in between Edited June 7, 2004 by Otaku-Smeghead

DVD is no less "video" than VHS was, if anything, its more so (as its a higher quality "video" source). VHS itself stands for "Verticle Helix somethingerother," as the term "video" doesn't lie in its name either. I'm sorry, but this whole trying to distinguish DVD & tape by using the term "video" for tapes exclusively is inane. I know the movie studio's do it too (especially disney), but come on now!
areaseven Posted June 7, 2004 Posted June 7, 2004 I always called VHS, VCR's Yeah, much like Filipinos still refer to Beta tapes as "Betamax."
Cyclone Posted June 7, 2004 Posted June 7, 2004 And IIRC the very first OVA release was....Megazone 23, with Love Live Alive another early release. Cyc
