Video-game inspired: (
Type subgenre) The usual way for an anime to make it to the small screen is from a manga. Sometimes though the anime comes from a video game instead.
Gungrave is a classic example: Take a video game from Sega about a undead who fights with musical instruments and create an Anime about love, friendship, betrayal, and a few demons. See also: "
Dating Sim Spinoff".
OVA: (
Type) OVA = Original Video Animation. These are the direct-to-video anime titles done in Japan. Often, OVAs can start a franchise (
Tenchi Muyou! Ryououki), start a TV series (
Mahou Tsukai Tai!), be a sequel to a TV series (
Love Hina Again), or be a stand-alone title (
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.
