To understand more about what OVA exactly is, let’s first understand all the other existing formats as well and how they differ from OVA: Also when it comes to the production part of things, a lot more time is invested in these to make sure that their quality is above the Television version of the anime.

A vast majority of the hentai anime are released through these formats because they are not suitable for TV or theoretical purposes for obvious reasons. These DVD releases were also referred to as Original Animation DVD (OAD) and were often released along with the manga of that particular anime.

Simpler Way of Looking at OVAsĪ simpler way of looking at OVAs would be that they are nothing but animation series (or parts of them) specially designed for the sole purpose being released in the home format video styles such as VHS (the 70s), Laser Discs (80s) and DVDs ( 90s). So they choose to go for an alternative cheaper version and then once they have enough, they release high-quality OVAs that are based on the original idea. Initially, they may not have been able to afford to stick to their original notions of the show. Once producers have accumulated enough budget for a high quality promotional public release, they go ahead with the release of the OVA. While, there are some OVAs that come out much after the anime has aired on TV.
It is made sure that these are of very high quality. Some anime shows have their OVA come out much before the original TV release because these have a budget high enough to sustain a full-scale promotional public release. There are mainly two types of OVAs if we classify them based on their timing of release. For example, in an Anime known as ‘ Clannad‘, two main characters Tomoyo and Tomoya have been portrayed to have a romantic relationship in the special OVA episode but in the actual series, no such thing ever happens. These can be treated as a form of bonus created by the producers or more like a test run just to see the reaction of the viewers. OVAs, on the other hand, are non-serial or non-canonical in nature and may or may not have any relation with any existing TV anime series.
