Why? Anime just mainly stands for Japanese(-ish) Animation (in fact they call every animated series Anime in Japan, even western ones; whereas western people intentionally use the term Anime to distinguish them from (Western) Animation). OVA just means the Anime is mainly directly to video, as opposed to TV series.Myask wrote: 0a. (p.s. why are we calling it an anime?

A good example: The original Legend of the Galactic Heroes OVA, which is 110 episodes long.Gilbert wrote:No, as I mentioned OVAs are mainly direct to video stuff(sometimes they do get shown on TV though, maybe as TV specials), so the episode counts are usually low but there are exceptions.Myask wrote: Episode counts on OVAs tend to be in the single digits, whereas anime tends to be 13 or 26.
