Why isn't there an anime OVA series option? That's what I prefer, since the production values are usually higher than a TV anime, and it doesn't have the limited running time of a movie.
When I created this poll, I was thinking along the lines that an OVA (Original Video Animation) are almost always "new stories" that don't originate elsewhere.
If I added OVA to the poll choices, then I'd have to also add Original Net Anime (ONA) and Original Anime DVD (OAD), etc.
And this whole [ OVA | ONA | OAD ] adaptation idea could be of its own unique poll, if phrased correctly. Plus, I would have added it to the poll choices, like this: OAV ..which would have been worse than adding it at all since Original Animation Video is usually mistaken for Original Adult Video. Plus, only those who are really into the anime/manga culture would know or care what an OVA is.
But as I look back, I should have added it to the poll list. I just never would have guessed my poll would be chosen. If I could have seen into the future, I wouldn't have missed it. If you are into OVAs that are broken down into episodes, then go with an Anime TV show. If you are into OVAs that are just a one film wonder, then go with an Anime movie. Sorry for the inconvenience.
