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.
Vulgar: (
Objectionable Content) Titles that feature offensive language and are lewdly or profanely indecent. Most times this will refer to coarse characters who behave or talk in a lewd or offensive manner, but it can also include situations or dialogue seemly intent on trying to offend the viewer with its socially inappropriate and outrageous content. The heavy metal series
Detroit Metal City (TV) easily qualifies for this keyword.

↗ecchi (
エッチ) = "indecent", "lewd", "sexy", "lascivious", or "naughty") These are non-pornographic anime titles which have a high amount of fanservice, nudity, or other sexual content. See also:
