OVA: (
Type) OVA = Original Video Animation. These are the direct-to-video anime titles done in Japan. Often, OVAs can start a franchise (

Mahou Tsukai Tai!), be a sequel to a TV series (

Aa! Megami-sama! OVA). Sometimes, the OAVs are named the same as the TV series and thus will sometimes have the term OVA listed after the title's name to separate it.

In the late 20th century, tremendous advances in robotics led to the development of the "Labor". Replacing slower, less versatile industrial equipment, the Labor was also capable of inflicting mass destruction. Virtually unstoppable by conventional police units, the labor quickly became the weapon of choice for terrorists, criminals, and seriously disturbed sociopaths. To fight these criminals, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department established the "Special Vehicles, Section 2," comprised of specially designed Patrol Labors--"Patlabors".
