00:00Hey, anime fans, ever wondered what sets ONA, OVA, OAD, OAV, and TV anime apart?

00:06Let's dive in.

00:08TV anime hits your screens on a weekly schedule, think Demon Slayer or Jujutsu Kaisen,

00:13with 12 to 26 episodes per season, crafted for broad, audiences fitting snugly into 20-minute slots.

00:21OVA, or original video animation, skips the broadcast and lands straight on DVD or Blu-ray.

00:27These are juicy side stories or stand-alone gems like Attack on Titan, Lost Girls,

00:34often 1-4 episodes, with slick animation for dedicated fans.

00:39OAV, original animated video, is basically the same as OVA, same direct-to-video deal,

00:44just an older term used for classics like Bubblegum Crisis.

00:49OAD, or original animation disc, is super close to OVA, but bundled with manga volumes as a bonus.

00:55Like my teen romantic comedy Snafu specials tied to its manga releases, usually 1-4 episodes for collectors.

01:03Then there's ONA, original net animation, born for streaming.

01:07Think cyberpunk, Edgerunners on Netflix.

01:10ONAs flex with episode counts and lengths, perfect for binge-watching or niche vibes.

01:15But wait, there's more.

01:16Anime movies like Your Name dazzle in theaters with big budgets and epic stories.

01:22Specials?

01:23Their one-offs or short bonuses may be a one-piece TV special or a DVD extra.

01:28And short anime like Isekai Quartet keep it snappy with 5-15 minute episodes.

01:34So, what's the deal with 1-4 episode anime?

01:36OVAs or OAVs if they're home video exclusives, OADs if tied to manga, specials if they're TV or bonus content.

01:46Each format's got its flavor.

01:47TV for long hauls, OVAs, OAVs, and OADs for fan treats,

01:51ONAs for streaming freedom, movies for spectacle, and specials for quick hits.

01:56Which one's your vibe?
