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

731:
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. --
