Omake

[1] In the United States and United Kingdom, anime fans generally use the term in a narrow sense to describe special features on DVD releases: deleted scenes, interviews with the actors, "the making of" documentary clips, outtakes, amusing bloopers, and so forth.

In English, the term is often used with this meaning, although it generally only applies to features included with anime, tokusatsu, and occasionally manga.

One example, included on the Video Girl Ai DVD, replays scenes from the OVA series with new voice-acting in a rural accent.

Omake can also consist of non-canonical, and often comedic crossover clips that sometimes occur at the end of episodes of two shows airing concurrently from the same studio, such as recent Kamen Rider and Super Sentai programs.

For example, the anime OVA Gunbuster features super deformed characters trying to explain what the writers know to be mostly pseudo-science, or talking about their relationships with each other in a way they do not in the series itself.
