[edit] Ova

So is it an OVA, or is it a movie? It isn't both. Snarfies 19:18, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

It is a 50 minute OVA. Collectonian (talk) 01:37, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Not in scope of Anime Wikiproject

This OVA (not a movie) was produced by ADV. It's in English. On the Wikiproject's page, under scope:

Anime, animated stories released into the retail market. Created in Japanese and originally intended for the Japanese audience. This includes Anime produced outside of Japan (for instance by a Korean animation studio) created for the Japanese market

This title does not answer to this criterium, so I've removed the project's templates. The infobox should be replaced with the regular 'movie infobox' as well. Ninja neko 15:56, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

I've put this back in the anime project. All searching I've done shows it to be an anime title. Without actual evidence to state otherwise, that is what it will be listed as. Collectonian (talk) 01:37, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
Actually, this probably was a manga first, and an award-winning one at that. TangentCube, Dialogues 01:40, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
Muchas gracias! I suspect Ninja got confused because the initial article was a blend of this OVA and an English horror film called Bite Me (alas, Amazon.com also suffers from the same mix up in some spots :( ) Collectonian (talk) 01:51, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Further searching on amazon.co.jp actually pulls up six OVA VHS releases from Pack-In-Video and a live-action film from Tokuma Japan Communications, which is what was released on February 23, 1996. No idea which OVA is the one ADV licensed, but it's likely the first by virtue of being first. TangentCube, Dialogues 02:29, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Actually, make that three from Pack-In-Video, three from JVC Entertainment, and one from Victor Entertainment (as Nihonjoe pointed out at WT:ANIME). TangentCube, Dialogues 10:00, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
