After watching both the anime and the ova of Magic Knight Rayearth,
I really didn't like the way the ova was set-up. --It's probably because I watched the anime first before the ova, and that I watched Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle, etc......---
I would like to know from other people's opinion about their preference over the anime or the ova.

The OVA was stupid and pointless if you've seen the series.

Rayearth OAV was a trailblazer. One of the early slickly-produced, confusing, unsatisfying reimaginings of a existing franchise that was perfectly fine beforehand. Ugh. X(

I can not stand this "reimagining". Its a chore to get through every episode because they are so boring. I loved the manga first, and then I loved the original series. But this was just plain terrible! Other then Clef's redesign, everything else in this show was garbage. And I dont say that lightly... I try to give every anime I see a real chance. But this is just too much!

Clearly I'm in the minority ... but I personally liked the OVA series. It's been awhile since I watched the TV series but I remembered things well enough to get the gist of this reimagining. I liked the mecha designs, and the animation was wonderful throughout most of it.

As for whether the series or the OVA is better? Obviously the show will tell a longer and deeper story, because it has 3-4x the running time to show it in. And the second series was getting really good by the time I stopped being able to find episodes. I'll probably go back and re-watch the second series, and if it lived up to how I remember it, then the series was better, yes. Doesn't mean the OVAs were pieces of shit either.
