Animation in Japan are classed in three categories :
TV serie : usualy 26 episodes of 28 mins per season.
Broadcasted on TV and usualy of lowest quality.

OAV (or OVA) :  Anime released only for sale. Usualy
of better quality than a TV serie. Less episodes and
the length of an episode can be longer.

Movie : Anime that are shown at theater. Longer than
a TV episode and better quality.

A serie like Tenchi Muyo has 2 TV seasons of 26 episodes,
3 movies (TMiL, Manatsu no Eve, TMiL2) and 2 OAVs series,
one of 6 episodes and the other of 7. There is also a
"special" which is an OAV.

Cheers,
Yann Stettler
