thread_title:  List of OVAs 

message: This article is almost entirely unreferenced, except for a single source concerning the OVA/OAV difference. The Format section in particular makes a lot of claims about the excellent quality of OVAs, but they are too general. Just like every format, OVAs are a mix of spectacular shows, mediocre shows, and terrible shows (in all aspects, animation, characters, story, etc.). TV series and movies share the same range of quality. I'll try to find some good sources and clean up the original research. Leebo86 16:48, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Unreferenced

message: This edit goes against what I said here. I don't know how to be any clearer on this: there is simply not enough for any reflist yet. Read WP:FN#Resizing references. The rule of thumb is "at least ten". Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 13:46, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: From this and the article as it stands, I'm confused about why there should be a dedicated article for this.  All I get from the article is that '"OVA" is a term for direct-to-video releases that applies only to anime'.  Is there more to it?  If so, that should be added. 71.33.200.10 (talk) 03:33, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: That's pretty much it. The only real difference is that the term "direct-to-video" carries connotations of low-quality work not good enough for broadcast or theatrical release. --Khajidha (talk) 16:25, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  OVAs in the USA 

message: Sorry about not noticing the submit link.  I saw a few anime now using the OAD wording, like this one (on the upper left hand corner), this one (lower right) and this one (title).  Also, ann got the word.   Is the last one reliable enough to source an inclusion of OAD?  —Preceding signed comment added by MythSearchertalk  14:47, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: OAD

message: Looking at the history of the article, it seems the problems have been persisting since the mid-2000s. With all the problems this article has and the few sources provided, I think this entire article should rewritten and moved to a section in Direct-to-video. -- Primium (talk) 20:03, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Move to Direct-to-video 

message: In Japan the Betamax format was more successful than the West, and this may explain why many OVAs clocked in at just under 1 hour, which was as much as a full speed L-500 Betamax tape could hold. 47.213.152.231 (talk) 19:48, 29 March 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Possibly. If you can find reliable sources that discuss this topic, it could be included. -- Primium (talk) 19:03, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
