Animation as an industry is much larger in Japan than it is in North America, being of the same order of magnitude as the 'live-action' film industry there.
In Japan however, animation is not merely viewed as a form of children's entertainment, but as a visual medium and artform that can be used and manipulated to tell stories in a way that could not be possible with live-action.
Originally creators were given the freedom of creating a story that was not constrained by time limits, commercial breaks, sponsors, or specified episode runs.

  Original Video Animation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Original Video Animation (OVA) is an acronym used in Japan for anime titles that are released directly to retail sale, without prior showings on TV or in theaters.
OVA titles were originally available on VHS, though they later became available on newer media such as Laserdisc and DVD.
OVA titles generally have high budgets and therefore the technical quality of animation is almost always superior to TV series and may equal or exceed the quality of movies.

Tokimeki Memorial: Forever With You (aka "Tokimemo") was originally a game developed in 1993 by Konami of Japan for the PC Engine.
The game ushered in the era of the "dating simulation", a type of role-playing game where the player takes on the part of high school student that, while trying to balance studies, athletics, grooming and whatnot, meets some of the girls going to the school.
One thing was missing, however: there was no animated story version of Tokimemo, as is often done with popular games in Japan (just look at Pocket Monsters, for example--originally a Nintendo Gameboy game).

Animation, as an industry, is much bigger in Japan than it is in North America, being of the same order of magnitude as the 'live-action' film industry there.
The animation ranges from adequate to good, but since the series has more time to develop the characters, it is usually more enjoyable (such as the extremely popular series Ranma 1/2 and Sailor Moon).
Their animation are typically better than those on TV, but given the short length of these series (usually from 1-6 episodes, about 30-60 minutes each episode), they tend to be spin offs from the longer TV series.

Original Video Animation (OVA), or Original Animation Video (OAV), is an abbreviation used in Japan for anime series that are released directly to video, without being first broadcast on television or released on theaters.
Unlike telvision series made to fit a 'season', OAVs could theoretically be of any length.
A few OVAs are still made, but they are now far less common, perhaps in part of the recent adapation of many telvision series to a 13 episode format rather than the classic 26 episode runs.

 OAV versus OVA: what's the difference?
Previously, I had always thought that OAV (original animation video) and OVA (original video animation) were interchangable, both referring to direct-to-video anime releases in Japan.
In Japan, OVA is the correct term for anime because OAV refers to "original adult video".
OAV was the original term used by the anime industry, but since it was so similar to "AV", some people in Japan got confused and linked OAVs with adult videos.

 The Critical Eye | Anime: A Guide to Japanese Animation (1958-1988)
Japanese animation, otherwise known as anime, has become impossible to avoid: Pokemon, Digimon, Card Captors, and Dragonball are on every channel, Princess Mononoke and Akira still run in repertory cinemas, and you can't go to a video store without seeing shelves full of anime titles, half of which are rented out at any given time.
Then there's the later mention of a show's use of "step one" animation, which clearly should be "stop motion." That's likely a translation error, but it still points to a lack of understanding on the part of the translator or, less forgivably, the editor.
Of particular interest is the way the OAV (Original Animation Video, or direct-to-video) market exploded in so little time, and the shifts in themes that came about once studios were freed of television's constraints.
