ok so i came across black rock shooter its a ova. Does that mean there is only one episode? or are there ova's that have more than one? Thanks in advance.
OVA's are comparable to Direct-to-Video/DVD releases, OVAs can come as a single release (think Dead Leaves) or as multiple installments (Hellsing Ultimate for example). BRS is just one ep, IIRC.
OVA = Original Video Animated or Original Video Animation Either way an OVA can be a series or it can be a singular episode/video. Some shows like Gundam have multiple OVA series, while other OVAs are like BRS.
Ok thanks for the info, just got home from work going to check brs out. Thanks again for the replies very much appreciated.
