I'm guessing because it didn't air on theaters in Japan

While this may not be the answer you seek, OP, here's what Wikipedia has to say about OVAs:

Original video animation, abbreviated as OVA and sometimes as OAV (original animated video), are Japanese animated films and series made especially for release in home video formats without prior showings on television or in theatres, though the first part of an OVA series may be broadcast for promotional purposes.
