2020-10-23 07:52:53 +0000 UTCOVAs vary quite a bit, but yes their very definiton means they are essentially usually made specifically and directly for home release and usually with higher budget, but that's not always the case. Lots of studios use OVAs for movies of television series (Re: Zero), some can literally take decades to be made and released, like Tenchi Muyo! Ryo Ohki! who's 1st season was released starting in1992 and is releasing its 5th season to be finished next year (while having spawned a few full tv series, 3 full theatrical movies and it's own OVA series sidestory/spinoff in the meantime); lots of OVAs are just 1 episode (notably old 80's/90's OVAs were basically pilots for full tv series of manga that were never picked up). They can vary in length anywhere from 15 minutes to the rare and very awesome full 45 minutes of Tenchi Muyo's spinoff Isekai no Seikishi Monogatari (Knight from Another World's Story), and can be anything from "extra stories" to complete series themselves. In "mainstream" fanservice TV anime though, OVAs are typically used for stories that aren't necessarily "television friendly" so that there's even more emphasis on the fanservice (queue the Onsen or Beach Episode trope) and are even used as promotional and/or exclusive items for the incredibly lucrative Japanese home market, but sometimes they can just be an episode that was supposed to be made with the series but wasn't able to be adapted for budget/deadline problems. Unfortunately this means that lots of anime fans consider OVAs to be "non canon", and therefore non essential or "skippable" if they are not connected directly to to the linear layout of the time-line of events of the television series they're attached to, but that's not usually why they're made as the Japanese home market heavily revolves around the high demand of anything attached to a popular series being a way to greenlight more of said series. The Konosuba movie being a perfect example of this, as I have heard countless times from people that they were under the impression that it was not a direct continuation of events after S2 and had ignored it entirely until they were informed that it was indeed an adaptation of the chapters post-season 2 (The show subverts again, this time through the 4th wall lol) and is a must watch regardless of it being a continuation or not (The Kimetsu no Yaiba movie is similar unfortunately as the 1st question usually asked after finishing the season is whether or not it was stand alone)

2020-10-22 23:41:29 +0000 UTCOVA = Original Video Animation, so in plain example it's usually/sometimes made with original or different style of animation from the original show. ++++ YOU STILL haven't checked REZERO OVA's ++++
