OVA/Modern/Action Drama/Sequel Titles

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.

Modern: (Setting) These are titles which have a modern feel to them; the story takes place in the present day (of the creation of this anime), give or take a few years.

Action Drama: (Genre) Much like "Action" (lots of shooting, explosions, and the like) except it has "Drama" thrown in as well.

Sequel: (Type subgenre) This is a title which continues a series. It may have a different name but is canon material.

Aa! Megami-sama - Sorezore no Tsubasa OVA
Buy

Keiichi, the goddesses, and the Motor Club go on a retreat to Keiichi's grandfather's old place. There, they encounter a beautiful shinentai who is determined to make Keiichi keep the promise his grandfather had made to her. Then into the future, Peorth is wrapping up her current mission on Earth and decides to get Keiichi to say he loves Belldandy (using the Japanese word "suki"). Urd gets involved and with Peorth, the job begins to get K1 to confess, only with humorous results.


Aa! Megami-sama! (2005) OVA
Buy After the attack by the Lord of Terror in episode 24 of Aa! Megami-sama! TV, the goddesses find themselves without their normal power supply from Yggdrasil since the Yggdrasil system is down. The three have to use alternate (and much weaker) means to resupply themselves with energy -- Urd with sake, Belldandy with sleep, and Skuld with ice cream. As such, Urd reverts to grade-school age where she meets a young boy. She teaches him the joys of taking risks and he falls for her. Belldandy sleeps but sends her chibi-form out and about with Keiichi. Skuld turns into a young woman, where she learns that Keiichi isn't all that bad.

Genshiken OVA
Buy

A new school term has started and all of the university clubs are out to recruit new members. Genshiken is no exception to needing new members, should the anti-otaku Saki-san allow it. Genshiken gets two new members, both rejects from other clubs. Kuchiki, having been rejected by Saki-san the previous year, returns after leaving the anime club and everyone is stunned when Saki-san lets him in. The manga club then pawns off one of its troublesome female members, Ogiue-san. She states she hates otaku, especially female otaku with their "homo" obsession for yaoi and shounen ai materials. Despite this, she's there to join their club. Will Genshiken survive its two newest and strangest members?

Hachimitsu to Kuroba Specials
Rent In "Chapter L", Takemoto asks Mayama and Morita about a vacant room in the apartment building, and is told about an amazing senpai named "Lohmeyer". "He was a wonderful person" Mayama explains, "serene as the northern plains... powerful, lustrous, and... juicy"? Likewise, Takemoto later notices a poster advertising a "Legendary Hero Search" and Mayama tells him about a costume-wearing theme park employee who once held that title; a person with "manliness flowing out of him, even when covered with fur". "Chapter F" involves "the story of the Fujiwara Design Office before Mayama-kun began working there". The mischievious Miwako buys a "ridiculous" shirt for fellow worker Yamazaki as a prank--and he is immediately acclaimed "The King of Fashion". Miwako cannot tolerate a failed practical joke, and thus begins a never-ending search for tasteless clothing...
