Tenchi Muyo!, for example, began as an OVA but went on to spawn several TV series, three movies, and numerous other spin-offs. Many popular series first appear animated as an OVA, and later grow to become television series or movies. The longest OVA series ever made, Legend of the Galactic Heroes, spanned 110 main episodes and 52 gaiden episodes. An OVA series can run anywhere from a single episode (essentially a direct-to-video movie) to dozens of episodes in length. In some cases, the length of episodes in a specific OVA may vary greatly, for example in GaoGaiGar FINAL, the first 7 episodes last around 30 minutes, while the last episode lasts 50 minutes the OVA Key the Metal Idol consists of 15 separate episodes, ranging in length from 20 minutes to nearly two hours each The OVA Hellsing Ultimate had released 10 episodes, ranging from 42 minutes to 56 minutes. An episode length of 30 minutes occurs quite commonly, but no standard length exists.

Episode length varies from title to title: each episode may run from a few minutes to two hours or more. OVA media (tapes, laserdiscs or DVDs) usually contain just one episode each. Like anime made for television broadcast, OVAs are sub-divided into episodes. Starting in 2008, the term OAD ( original animation DVD) began to refer to DVD releases published bundled with their source-material manga.

Despite his well-received portrayals by Linden Ashby, Matt Mullins, and Casper Van Dien in 1995's Mortal Kombat and both seasons of Mortal Kombat: Legacy, Johnny is also arguably the toughest Mortal Kombat character to cast. The Mortal Kombat franchise has long since cultivated its image of Johnny Cage as a cocky, dashing Hollywood action hero in the vein of Jean-Claude Van Damme, and Johnny is generally positioned as the most jovial character in the Mortal Kombat roster.

However, Johnny Cage is a somewhat unique character for Mortal Kombat 2, with a number of different factors that make doing him justice in the movie a rather tricky juggling act. Mortal Kombat 2 is poised to deliver on that tease, with Karl Urban to portray Johnny Cage in the sequel. At the end of Mortal Kombat, Cole and his fellow Earthrealm warriors set about recruiting new fighters to stand against the next battle with Outworld, with Cole headed to Los Angeles to recruit action movie star Johnny Cage.
