The Rurouni Kenshin OVAs, to name one series, exemplified numerous aspects of OVAs; they were slightly based on chapters of the author Nobuhiro Watsuki's manga that had not been adapted into the anime television series, had higher-quality animation, were much more violent, and were executed in a far more dark and realistic style than the TV episodes or the manga.
Rurouni Kenshin OVAerne er et eksempel på flere aspekter af OVAerne generelt; de var baseret på kapitler fra forfatteren Nobuhiro Watsukis manga, der ikke blev inkluderet i tv-animeen, de havde højere animationskvalitet, var mere voldelige, og var fremvist i en langt mere mørk og realistisk stil end tv-afsnittene.
