This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

It’s because OVA doesn’t exist anymore. Like all the interesting niche anime were almost always OVA.

Adaptations can be niche, weird and interesting too, but original anime just tend to utilize the medium more fully and even push the boundaries occasionally. It really is a shame that almost no studios are willing to take the perceived risk of original concepts without an established following.
