Animated shows produced for the [[Direct to Video|direct-to-video]] market, almost universally abbreviated "OVA" or "OAV" (for "original animated video"), and more rarely OAD (same for DVD). The term is almost always associated with [[Anime]]; however, this form of storytelling is beginning to become popular in the anglosphere with recent animation based on comic characters and TV shows. Unfortunately, these still labour under the shadow of the term "[[Direct to Video|Direct-to-Video]]".
