The practice became extremely popular in the 80s and 90s thanks to VHS tapes and in Japan it is still widely done even with the rise of streaming services like Netflix, who acquired the rights to stream Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan. Rather than a full series that is aired on television over the course of many years, like the original JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is, an OVA is more like a miniseries consisting of a handful of episodes meant to stand alone as one complete product. It's a term used for anime specifically made for home video releases.
Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan is an OVA, which stands for Original Video Animation. The reasoning behind this is not only due to the source material, but also due to the unusual production process behind it. The new anime OVA Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan has recently just come to Netflix, but some viewers may be surprised that the JoJo's Bizarre Adventurespin-off doesn't have a proper ending.
