CD-ROM. The contents of "OAD" are generally original, and some TV versions are edited and produced. It seems to be the same as the theatrical animation shown on the big screen, but it is not.

It has been 26 years since 1983 introduced the first set of OVA. It occupies a very important position in the history of Japanese animation, and we will see information about it in various animation news.

Generally, it can be used as an OVA work. When it was first released, it was definitely not shown on TV or theater. A work that has been shown on TV or in the theater can't be called OVA if it is replayed with video (or LD/VCD).

The "V" in OVA also refers to all video/LD/VCD/DVD media, not just video. If the TV version and the theatrical version of animation are divided according to the broadcast channel, then OVA is divided according to the distribution channel.
