No the two mean the same thing and are used interchangably.

Correct me if I'm wrong on the above guys. I haven't thought about that OVA/OAV stands for in a while -- I just know what they mean ^^;;;

Little Rock lights the way... or maybe he's just leading us to a firey death. Meh, either way...

No, that's absolutely correct. Also one of the most ridiculously overdebated topics in anime fandom! Not nearly as much as dub vs sub though. ^^;

I originally wrote "OVA" forever, but then "OAV" began to stick for some reason, even though it's harder to say and type... I think.  Somehow O-V-A flows better since it's just right to left on the standard keyboard I guess.  :P  I dunno.  And I'm not sure why I changed to OAV, either.

Dub vs. Sub, let's keep quiet about it.

I used to go with OVA in my "omg omg tenchi" days, but have since switched to OAV because of El-Hazard, and later, Fooly Cooly. Dunno why, just have.

Now I know.  I blame it all on Neil.

Ahaha, yeah. I probably did say "NO" as soon as the word "OVA" came out of your mouth. But think about it... OAV *is* cooler, despite what other people say.

well, just as long as you pronounce it letter by letter. The announcer guy on the International channel said it wrong when he was announcing the fushigi yugi OVA/OAV. He pronounced it "Oh-Vah" as if it were one word.
