The so-called ova, that is, Original Video Animation short, to put it bluntly is the video tape! Foreigners don't have vcd's like that!!!! That's why a lot of anime is released on VHS. It's usually not shown through TV or theaters unless it's to expand publicity or the item itself is a hot buy!!!!

2. Theatrical Editions

Literally, anime that is shown in theaters!!!! Theatrical releases come from two sources, one, when a TV production is particularly well received, the production staff starts planning to make an animated movie out of the title. This category is often made from the plot itself, but there is also to "Gundam 08ms Squad Theater Edition" will be the TV version condensed after the screening. Secondly, as with regular movies, there doesn't have to be a TV anime, an original script will do. Like Toshi Miyazaki's anime movie!

Drawing animation is usually a newcomer, but it is the origin of the animation industry, from animation -> original drawing -> drawing supervisor .... The people who work their way up are the strongest. However, because it is the lowest level of work, hard work and little money, people who are willing to do less and less ....

OP: short for OPENING, the opening credits.

ED: short for ENDING, end credits.

Anime Dictionary

Animation Nomenclature--Performance

The Japanese term "performance" is a unique title in Japanese animation production. Simply put, it is a person who assists the director, and plays a different role in the TV series than in the OVA and MOVIE versions.

In the TV series, since the director is too busy to take care of every episode, the "showman" of each episode is the "exclusive director" of that episode, who controls the entire production of that episode in accordance with the intentions of the (chief) director.

In the OVAs and Movies, the position of "showman" is more like an "assistant director" (assistant director), who understands the director's intentions and assists in handling the details of the show (the "showman's job" is to "put the show on the road"). The "performance work" is the process of "transforming the text of the script into camera images", somewhat like the so-called "scene scheduling" in Western movies or stage plays). His job is quite similar to that of a supervisor, who must be quite familiar with the language of animation, but does not necessarily have to be very good at drawing (just as a director does not necessarily have to be very good at drawing .....). Therefore, some people translate it as \"Co-director\". Others translate it as \"Assistant Director\" or \"Executive Director\". (There is also the Japanese word "出演", which usually means "actor" and is only found in live-action movies and TV, but not in the animation community.)

Anime Terms - Theatrical Version

What is a theatrical version (of anime)? Anime that was originally made public to be shown in movie theaters is called that. The production cost, investment, and manpower for this type of work is higher than that of OVA and TV anime, and the artwork is as luxurious as possible, with a clear difference in the fluidity of the action and the number of color separations used. Usually a theatrical anime is 90 minutes long, but there is no certainty, and there is a great deal of variation. Nowadays, whenever a popular TV anime is released, a corresponding theatrical version is usually released, but the theatrical version usually differs from the original TV version in both story and characters. For example, the theatrical releases of both "Girls' Revolution" and "Super Space Fortress" retained only the main lines of the original stories and characters.

Nine Characters of Truth: Often seen in some of the demon collectors and spirit removers of the subject of the nine words of the Tantric truth, so the nine words of the Tantric truth in the end what is the meaning of it? In fact, these nine words originated from the Eastern Jin Dynasty Ge Hong's "Holding Park Zi? Dengshu Chapters", "the soldiers fight, are several groups of front line, always look at it, nothing can not be avoided," meaning that, always read these nine words, you can avoid all evil. In the transcription of these nine words, the words "number, group, front, line" were mistakenly copied as "array, column, in, front" and have not been used so far. The meanings of each of these nine characters are: Lin, for physical and mental stability; Bing, for energy; Dou, for cosmic ****ing; Shi, for recovery; Kai, for crisis response; Jinyu, for sensing or invisibility; Lian, for temporal and spatial control; Jie, for control of the five elements; and Qian, for light

Otaku Otaku is a pure Japanese word, which is written in kanji as "Otaku?" It was originally used to mean "your home" or "your house," and was a term of respect. However, like the Chinese word "兄台", it has gradually become a term of contempt like "贵样"(きさま). It also has an extended meaning of a group of people who are particularly obsessed or even fanatical about a certain matter or field to the point of closing themselves off.

But there are various versions of the term, with the most authoritative definition coming from "Otaku-ology for Beginners," a book by the famous critic Dojio Okada (one of the oldest members of Gainax, who worked on the plans and scripts for "King's Cosmic Army" and "Leap to the Upside") - "Otaku-ology for Beginners. Otaku is a new type of human being that emerged in the 20th century, which has been called the "century of the image," in other words, a new breed of people who have evolved in the sea of information and have become extremely sensitive to the sensation of images.

It is said that a true Otaku has to meet the following requirements:

First, he or she must have an absolute passion for Anime and Comic (Japanese animation and manga), and must not be a professional, but must only take up anime as a hobby.

Secondly, one must be an archaeologist and have a great ability to search for references. The backgrounds and details built into anime stories have become increasingly cross-disciplinary and cross-cultural. An Otaku must be able to read the world and understand the world, as well as the ancient and modern worlds, and be able to understand both Chinese and foreign cultures.

Thirdly, an Otaku must have an insatiable appetite for self-expression, and must be able to express his love and understanding of anime through clubs and fanzines.

Contrary to the impression of domestic anime fans, Otaku is not a title that will be admired and praised by others. However, it seems that in China, where anime mania is in its infancy, Otaku is most often equated with "mania," and being called an Otaku is a sign of seniority and competence.

It refers to the author of the original manga/novel. For example, COWBOY BEBOP, the original author is 'Hiromu Yagari'.

Sometimes even looking at the name of the animation company can tell you if the movie is worth collecting.

*Circle terminology: (this did not do a careful investigation, it seems to be only domestic enthusiasts in the common word) OTAKU: Japanese, the original meaning is 'otaku'. Currently recognized domestic meaning is: easy to immerse in the fantasy world, lack of normal social life experience of the subculture community, to put it plainly is a group of people with a crazy passion for animation, for example (can only briefly mention): for example, EVA's OTAKU can memorize each of the Apostles of the Chinese, Japanese, English names, detailed study of the "New Testament," the "Old Testament," familiar with the differences between Judaism, Christianity and the Catholic Church. Catholicism. Concerned about all GAINAX activities ...... well versed in the theories of Floyd ...... is a member of a cult organization ......

LOLI (罗丽)：Japanese for 'young girl', referring to little girls under the age of 12. LOLI can also be used as an adjective, and the criteria for LOLI can vary in the eyes of the individual, so if it looks and feels very small and cute, then you can call her a LOLI, the most typical being Kirika.

Shota: a word with the same attributes as Loli, specifically referring to little brothers under the age of 12. PK: Originally 'Puffing', you can see what it means by looking at the words. Originally referring to a triad ritual (pouncing on the street?) , now mostly means fighting.

FF: We are most familiar with FF (FINAL FANTASY) series, FF series is originally a famous game of SQUARE, because it is very popular, so there are a lot of peripheral, such as the game animation, OVA, movies, etc. But recently the abbreviation FF is used to represent their own familiar works, usually understandable, but also some for the newcomers are not familiar with the abbreviation. But the recent use of the abbreviation FF need to identify a little, because the Matrix series also produced an animated short film called FINAL FLIGHT OF THE OSIRIS (OSIRIS the last flight), the abbreviation is also FF. The director of the film and the film version of the "FINAL FANTASY" is the same person (Andy * Jones), so it is no wonder that even the name is the same! .

Their abbreviation is ROD

*OVA

First of all, let's explain what OVA is

OVA=ORIGINAL VIDEO ANIMATION=original video animation

OVA occupies a very important position in the history of Japanese animation, and is often seen in various animation information journals. An OVA can only be called an OVA if it has never been shown on TV or in a theater before, and it can't be called an OVA if it has been shown on TV or in a theater before it was released on video, LD, VCD, etc. The 'OVA' in OVA is a video that has been shown on TV or in a theater before it was released. The 'V' in OVA also refers to all video/LD/VCD/DVD media, not just video.

Cartoons, Anime and Anime

Anime is the Japanese word for anime. It is commonly referred to as "Japanese animation".

Japanese animation is quite different from American cartoons, and the term "Anime" is often used to distinguish between Japanese and American "animation". First and foremost, Japanese animation is conceptualized as being aimed at a wide variety of audiences of all ages, and as a means of communicating a story or providing entertainment on the same level as live-action films.

Most anime are based on manga, and as serialized works, they are long, coherent storylines that contain continuity and the development of character relationships, which greatly increases their watchability, and readers have to buy serialized magazines in order to keep up with the story.

Because of Japan's own traditional culture -- no matter good people or bad people, as long as they have a kind of transcendent realm, they can become gods; it doesn't matter if they act good or bad or how they act, what matters is to be outstanding and to transcend the mundane; and the impact of death is honorable, especially if it's for some noble purpose -- many Japanese anime don't have a very clear definition of what is meant by "good" or "bad". Many Japanese animations do not have a clear line between "good" and "bad"; some characters often switch sides, and some characters can be "good and evil" while others are "neither good nor evil". Some characters can be "both good and evil", while others are "neither good nor evil". Sometimes a character switches to the "good camp", but his/her thoughts and character are evil, and vice versa. Similarly, when showing a war, it is possible that neither side is "good" or "evil". That's why Japanese anime often shows death itself directly, whereas in Western society death should be avoided at all costs and has become a taboo in the media.

Another major factor in the fluency of Japanese animation is its wide range of subjects: wandering samurai, space adventures, absurdist comedies, and even soap operas can be turned into animated stories that are not limited to spoofs of everyday life, but rather depict human characters and take the viewer on a journey into the realm of fantasy.

The word "cartoon," which most people are familiar with, comes from the English word "cartoon," which most people understand as "animation" -- actually more of a term. -- which is more of a reference to the American style of cartoons.

American cartoon strength lies in the theatrical version, whether it is Disney, DreamWorks or Warner, the cartoon blockbusters in the mode of inheritance of the Hollywood style of large-scale production style - concise, but with a rich variety of lines, shocking scenes, magnificent audio-visual effects, famous actors and actresses meant to be suitable for the young and old dramatization of the plot. The American style of production is undoubtedly the most important one. Undoubtedly, in the production of the United States cartoon is the world's strongest, especially in the use of stunts is far ahead, which is determined by the United States of America's special film market environment, with a certain degree of local characteristics, the struggle between good and evil is a lot of American cartoon theme, of course, justice will prevail. Another characteristic of American cartoons is the "fragmentation" of the plot, roughly speaking, there is no coherence, separate chapters. So it doesn't matter if you miss a few episodes or start in the middle.

On the whole, American cartoons are geared toward children, promoting the Judeo-Christian idea of absolute good and evil, and the idea that there is only one solution at the end of the day. The fragmented nature of the plot allows children to understand the story without having to worry about missing a word, and they don't have to worry about complicated story lines or character relationships, and many of them intentionally avoid some of the ugliest issues in reality to protect children.

Animation is a big category. "Animation" encompasses all modes of animation. In the case of Japanese animation, which is what we all see every day, "Animation" is not the right word to use, but rather the more correct Japanese word, Anime, which means Japanese-style animation.

In general, American "cartoons" are mostly exported to the world in the form of theatrical releases, while Japan's main source of entry into the international market is television animation, and the difference between the two is still relatively obvious
