The new OVA series (some alternative universe of the Tenchi Muyou series, I think) is a 13 episode OVA, iIrc.

Each cours tend to have its own OP/ED, so a normal two cours series (26 episodes) would typically have two different OPs/EDs.

Four cours correpsond to 52 weeks, or a year.

Random has advantage of not forcing fillers to fill out a quota of episodes if you lack in story. ^^

Usually, but it doesn't need to be. OVA just means that that originally it didn't air on TV (it was released straight to video). Since that means it's not held to TV seasons, they can be of any length (Legend of the Galactic Heroes is an OVA with 110 episodes).

No kidding?  I thought OVA's got air time, at least not in a season format.
