OVA/Drama/Dark Titles

OVA: (Type) OVA = Original Video Animation. These are the direct-to-video anime titles done in Japan. Often, OVAs can start a franchise (Tenchi Muyou! Ryououki), start a TV series (Mahou Tsukai Tai!), be a sequel to a TV series (Love Hina Again), or be a stand-alone title (Aa! Megami-sama! OVA). Sometimes, the OAVs are named the same as the TV series and thus will sometimes have the term OVA listed after the title's name to separate it.

Drama: (Genre) Titles that show a state, situation, or series of events involving interesting or intense conflict of forces. See also: "Action Drama".

Dark: (Style) Titles that are dismal or gloomy in nature qualify for this category.

Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence
Buy A sequel to the famous Puppet Master movie of 1995, Batou and Togusa now investigate the strange rebellious murders of sex robots against their masters. During their investigation, they encounter dangerous hackers, crazy Yakuza, and even bits of the Major materialized from the net. Batou is a living doll. His whole body, even his arms and legs are entirely man-made. What only remains are traces of his brain and memories of a woman named, Motoko. When the boundary between humans and machines has infinitely blurred, Humans have forgotten that they are humans. This is a promiscuous story of a lonesome "ghost" of a man, who nevertheless seeks to retain humanity.
