Tis the Season for Charity!
| Anime Word of the Day | OVA Original Video Animation (オリジナル・ビデオ・アニメーション orijinaru bideo animēshon), abbreviated OVA (オーブイエー Ōbuiē), is a term used in Japan for anime titles that are released directly to retail sale, without prior showings on TV or in theaters. OVA titles were originally available on VHS, though they later became available on other media such as Laserdisc and DVD. OVA is sometimes used, perhaps inappropriately, to refer to any extremely short anime series or special regardless of its release format. OAV or original animated video is sometimes used in place of OVA, and the meaning is generally accepted to be the same. However the abbreviation OAV was too similar to AV ("Adult Video"), causing OAV to be misinterpreted as original adult video, resulting in a shift towards the OVA abbreviation.

Opening Act:
Hello Everyone! Well this will be a pretty short post. Well at least for me that is! I’m posting for one reason! I want to let everyone know about Child’s Play! A fantastic charity event started by some Seattle gamers. ^^ And to quote Gabe, “For three years now, we’ve set up and organized a charity called Child’s Play. We set it up because we were angry the media decided to blame all the world’s problems on games and gamers. Basically they said that gamers were bad people, and we thought that wasn’t right. Apparently, you guys agreed: through Child’s Play you sent over a million dollars in toys, games, and cash to the sick kids in children’s hospitals around the world.”
This is actually one of the best and most heart felt charities I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. 100% of the profits go to the kids. Nothing is held back. In fact if you chose to send toys/games instead of cash it actually goes straight to the hospital you choose rather to the organizers. Please if you can spare a few minutes to check out the site and read the About page and check out the wish lists from the hospitals involved.
Even the tiniest donation can help and as a kid who spent way too much time in hospitals growing up I know all too well how much joy something as simple as a video game can bring!
Ok enough lecturing…I just hope you can help out and if nothing else please grab a banner to place on your sites and help spread the word!
New Works:
A couple of new works from me. Wallpapers; 1 from D.Gray-man, 1 from DeathNote, 2 from Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion and 1 from Shounen Onmyouji. ^^ I think they’re rather pretty so admire them, ignore them. Whichever makes you happy!
Sorry no question or voice actor this post! I’ll post more of my meaningless chatter next time!
