OVA[]
During the late 1980s and on through the mid-1990s, OVAs (Original Video Animation) were a popular medium in the anime industry. Essentially they were straight-to-video releases that had the benefits of a slightly larger budget and lengthier development window. The quality of an OVA was a step up from television, while not quite reaching the expensive heights of an animated theatrical film.
