An OVA is a special that may or may not follow the timeline of the anime. Or you could have a series based off of an OVA(s). Well that is about as clear as mud. http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/huh.gif

I like to think of it as a mini-series(based off a larger series or whatever) with a huge budget.

Yes. The Kenshin OVAs are a perfect example of that.

a bit late i guess
OAV=Orginal Animated Video &#092; more or less the same just different wording
OVA=Orginal Video Animation /

anyways ova means that video went straight to video in Japan.

Well Ova&#39;s in general don&#39;t have anything to do with the main storyline. Sometimes they don&#39;t fit in with a particular time frame hence the term &quot;original&quot; ie the DBZ movies are ovas and don&#39;t have anything to do with the regular sagas. In this case, I&#39;ve seen the ROD ova and from what i heard there are differences in the series, characterwise as such. I think the original character does make an appearance but i can&#39;t say for sure as i haven&#39;t seen any of the rod series.

My favorite OAV Series is Gundam 0083. It is a great little series that anyone can watch without even having any Gundam knowledge. Some good characters in there too. It doesn&#39;t fit at all into the UC continuity really, but its a good series.
