An OVA, Original Video Animation, is an anime that is directly released to video withouth being broadcasted anywhere like on tv, and the theathers.


There are a lot of good OVA's out there. Like Samurai X. :)

OVA anime tends to be of higher quality than tv boardcast anime.

Quite a few OVAs are based of games too, and never released outside Japan. Tokimeki Memorial comes to mind.
