Why is there no OVA?
A lot of anime has them; why not Dragonball?

Re: Why is their no OVA?
Probably because there were sometimes two movies a year. I think it's a lot easier (and cheaper!) these days due to the rise of digital animation. Back when they were animating episodes on a weekly basis *and* working on movies at the same time, there just didn't leave a whole lot of room for OVAs.cartoonboy wrote:a lot of anime has them why not Dragonball?

Oh, I noticed. When I correct thread titles, I tend to do a batch all at once. Just haven't done it yet today.Sun_Wukong wrote:EX, I'm suprised you didnt notice he used the wrong word in his thread title.

Unless it was already corrected, maybe they think you should have written "Why was there no OVA?"cartoonboy wrote:Wrong word?

It was written "Why is their no OVA?". It has been correctly changed to "Why is there no OVA?".

OVA = Original Video Animation. Basicly, it's a direct to video animated movie. Since all of DBZs movies were theatrical releases (and the specials were aired on TV) there were no OVAs.

<Kaboom> Neither does Rita
<Xyex> Good point.

An "OVA" (original video animation) or "OAV" (original animation video) [the terms are interchangeable] is best described as something that's *not* produced for television or theaters, but has a high budget.SuperFusion wrote:What the hell is an OAV? I thought OAV was just some japanese word for movie..
The reason these things came into being was due to the onslaught of VCRs, and consumer desire to obtain things directly on video (as opposed to watching on television, or waiting for things in theaters to get their home release).
For an American comparison, think of direct-to-video Disney movies like the 2nd and 3rd Aladdin movies. They have a nice budget, but weren't played in theaters, weren't made for television, and came out right on home video.
