| what would you say is best all around, well made OVA for a anime? one that finished the story for you or gave you a better ending. etc. |

| The answer is always Legend of the Galactic Heroes |
 |
| Obviously Hellsing Ultimate. romagia said: You're cheating :(The answer is always Legend of the Galactic Heroes |
| Imawa no Kuni no Alice. A short adaptation of one of my favorite manga. I don't know why there's no proper adaptation for the manga, because the OVA itself is great! |
| hori-san to miyamura-kun F*ck this 30 characters limit. |
| Tenchi no Tamago for me. It's not for everyone but since I like surrealism I couldn't go wrong with it. |
 |
| Black Lagoon Roberta's Blood Trail. Nada como una rica, agresiva y sangrienta soldado colombiana mi parce. Others would be Hellsing Ultimate and detroit metal city. Really good for me. |
| Noragami OVAs and Higurashi Rei are good ones for me |
| My favorite ova anime is Legend of the Galactic Heroes. My favorite ova for a anime is the Yona of the Dawn ova on the backstory on the yellow dragon. |
 |
| Legend of the Galactic Heroes Gundam: War in the Pocket Gundam Unicorn Golden Boy Patlabor: New Files Macross Plus Major: Message Master Keaton OVA Gundam: 8th MS Team Wolf's Rain OVA Detroit Metal City Those are my 9s and 10s that are OVAs. Mostly standalone stuff and full-fledged sequels or spinoffs. The OVAs that are basically just one special episode of a TV Series generally don't make it to that level since I'm pretty exclusive with my 9s and 10s, but I do have a lot of them at 8/10. There's just too many OVA 8s to list them all. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Legend of the Galactic Heroes Saint Seiya Lost Canvas |
 |
| If we're talking about stand-alone, self-contained OVAs, then it's Gunbuster and FLCL for sure. For series-related OVAs, i'd say probably Kill la Kill's Special Ep. 25 and the Levi backstory OVA from Attack on Titan. |

| 1.Tsubasa Cronicle's OVA are brilliant. 2.Roberta's Blood Trail is absolutely not to be missed. 3.Dogs: Bullets & Carnage 4.Black Butler book of murder is very interesting. 5.Cossette no Shouzou. |
 |
| Tsubasa: Tokyo Revelations .......... |
| Noragami, Hori-san and Ookami Shoujo's OVA's I really enjoyed |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| FLCL and Tenshi no Tamago (MyAnimeList considers it an OVA, not a movie) |
| Tsubasa: Tokyo Revelations. Too bad the tv series wasn’t as good. |
Frostbytes said: Honestly surprised no one mentioned Rurouni Kenshin: Tsuiokuhen, so yeah that one. I'm actually in the process of watching RK, but i haven't yet reached the point where i should watch that OVA, so i didn't mention it. I've heard it's a masterpiece, though, so i'm really looking forward to it. |
| Gosenzosama Banbanzai, War in the Pocket, Patlabor New Files, Animation Seisaku Shinkou Kuromi-chan and either FLCL or Gunbuster to close the top5. Only New Files is the sequel of a series and would fall in the "one that finished the story for you or gave you a better ending. etc." category, the rest are self-contained. |

| It has to be Rurouni Kenshin: Trust and Betrayal for me. It was just an amazing addition to the main series. Not to mention that Kenshin's backstory was something I was really curious to know since Shishio's arc. That said, another OVAs I also really enjoyed were: -Hellsing Ultimate -Carnival Phantasm (It's listed as OVAs in MAL so...) -Shingeki no Kyojin: No Regrets -Mahoutsukai no Yome: Hoshi Matsu Hito |
| My fav is Macross Plus, it's even in my top 5. In theory it's a sequel to Macross, but actually it's only loosely connected and also works as a stand alone. Some other ones I gave high scores to: - Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Kenkaku Romantan - Tsuioku-hen (also works as a stand alone, you don't need to watch the series) - Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket (might be confusing if you haven't seen the 1st Gundam series or the compilation movies) - Robot Carnival (a stand alone) - Kasei Yakyoku (also a stand alone, only subbed recently so it's rather unknown) - Major: World Series (a sequel to Major) - Gintama°: Aizome Kaori-hen (Gintama side story) |

| Lolicons are scum. BABYMETAL is more metal than Metallica. Naruto is objectively the best anime ever. HxH 99' is decent. HxH 11' is bad. |

| I will always have a special place in my heart for the 1993 JoJo's Bizarre Adventure OVA. The animation was great. I prefer this version of the Jotaro vs Dio battle even though the newer anime is more accurate to the manga. |
