Original Adult Video
Neologism. As noted in the talk page, there is at least one person who has lived in Japan and never heard this. Likewise, I was stationed there for a number of years, and I've not heard of this; I've also consulted a few other friends who've lived there (including a couple of Japanese natives) and they profess not to have heard of this either.

 * Strong delete This is an obvious hoax. "AV" does mean adult video but OAV is OAV. Ashibaka tock 23:26, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
 * There seems to be enough general confusion on this that I don't think it is a hoax on the part article author. &mdash;Quarl (talk) 2006-01-15 01:06Z 
 * It's still a hoax on somebody's part. Ashibaka tock 02:46, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Heh, maybe :) The hypothesis in the webpage I linked below says: 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. In response, anime companies adopted OVA as the industry standard acronym instead of OAV (though some places still use OAV, I think).  If that is true then there may have been no bad faith on anybody's part.  Anyway we agree on the deletion of the article so no big deal.  &mdash;Quarl (talk) 2006-01-15 13:39Z 
 * Delete as untrue as explained in this article. Extensive explanation at  . , OVA article could touch on the naming issue.   &mdash;Quarl (talk) 2006-01-15 01:04Z
