- Title
Anime, otaku y cintas de vídeo: el formato OVA como catalizador de la complejidad narrativa en la animación japonesa contemporánea.

- Abstract
The status of OVAs (domestic editions of anime) is explored in this article as a hinge format between the narrative maturity of anime in the 1970s and the complex storytelling from the 1990s onwards. The methodology used is based on a narratological analysis inspired by the historical poetics of cinema carried out by David Bordwell. Thus, taking into account the categories of knowledgeability, self-consciousness and communicativeness, in the results and conclusions it was found that the presumed narrative simplicity attributed to anime is not such, and that the OVAs analyzed --Twilight Q: Meikyū Bukken Fairu Go San Hachi (Mamoru Oshii, 1987), Gunbuster (H. Anno, 1988-89) and Otaku no Video (T. Mori, 1991)-- stand as key milestones in the establishment of another type of storytelling in the contemporary Japanese animation industry, one that, far from being formulaic, corresponds to the stimulating international narrative experimentation of the so-called puzzle films.
