How about you come and find out about the main anime . Well, the number of fans of Japanese culture has been growing a lot in recent years. Mainly in the Geek part of culture – including Animes, Mangas and Games. But, many doubts also arise regarding the works, such as: do you know the difference between OVA, ONA AND OAD ? Therefore, we have compiled the main ones to answer your questions on the subject. Now, without further ado, let’s get to the list:
Check out the meaning of OVA, OAD and ONA in anime
OVA-Original Video Anime: First OVA is characterized by being exclusively from DVDs/Blu-ray, that is, they are not broadcast on TV. In addition to being episodes that are not part of the original anime story, and can deepen in a particular plot of the work or be completely different from the original plot.
OAD – Original Animation DVD: Basically it has the same characteristics as Ova. However, with the addition that when making the purchase, it comes with a Manga or a Game! An example for this would be volume 12 of Manga To Love-Ru: Darkness, which came with a DVD.
ONA – Original Net Animation: Here, they are only released on streaming platforms, such as Crunchyroll or Funimation, which are the official platforms in Brazil. It may happen that the episode appears on TV, if the broadcaster buys it, but generally it is only on the internet.
Main Anime Terms
SPIN-OFF: They are derived from a work. In other words, they basically use traits from a specific Anime such as powers and the characteristics of the world. And because it's like a parallel or alternative universe, it's very common for the Spin-Off characters to not be the usual protagonists of the original work.
PV – Promotional Video: This is just a short video of usually 30 seconds. Often shown on television or at an event, often to inform the New Season of an Anime.
TRAILER: Now you may ask the difference between PV and 'trailer'. But, basically the trailer is about 3 minutes long and shows many scenes from the work, and may even give several spoilers for fans.
TEASER : However, in addition to the PVs and Trailers we have the Teasers which are classified as a middle ground of the two above. This is due to the Teaser being around 30 seconds to 1 minute long. On the other hand, several new scenes are shown, but in an enigmatic way, without delivering anything to the fans, just teasing them.
Anyway guys, this was our special list of the day. I hope you liked it, leave a comment if you knew all these terms and see you next time!
