Stormfalcon gave a pretty good summary. It's not really my cup of tea (my tastes now lean towards more structures RPGs), but what I always tell people is that OVA is what BESM 1e tried to be and never quite pulled off. It's very much the rules-light, "system doesn't matter" approach of BESM (so you want a group that really brings it for role-playing), but the base rules are put together a little better IMHO. I did use it for an extended campaign, but my players pretty much broke the system, and if I used it again it would be more for shorter stuff.
Incidentally, I wound up talking to Clay the other day on AIM, and he's working on a revised version of OVA, though it's taking time to get the art and such sorted out.
