Yup... there is no difference. They are the same thing, direct to video animation (never aired on TV or shown in theaters).

if you want a bit more info on OVAs:

the stories in OVAs are usually based on a manga or TV series but the actual episodes are totally original stories with maybe some borrowed elements from the other formats. Visual quality is usually of a higher standard than the TV series, though this is becoming less and less common nowadays as the quality of anime production progresses.

well mustnt forget that the TV series and the OVA have a difference of over 10 years and animation techniques have progressed so much.

actually I prefer the old look (in OVA and Movie) of Bell.....

yes... I like both of the old and new AMG series...but I just like the look of Bell in the OVA and Movie more..... The new one looks a little bit unfamiliar...^^ But I like both of them...they are the one person-Bell with her warm voice and her generous heart...^^

I thought the art was best around the 4th Goddess arc.

so far i think the look is best in the latest translated manga volumes, you know 1 or 2 volumes in front and behind the Phantom Racer volume.
