Just like Uchuu Senkan Yamato 2199, it was first released as a series of movies, but it also has a listing for the transmission as a TV series:

And also, based on the Crunchyroll airing, it doesn't look like this wil be Crunchyroll-only, as the episodes have their own opening and ending, I don't think they would have made those only for international audiences.

Yes, I just saw the release of episodes 1-4 and no listing of anything on MAL other than 1 movie. :(

It was advertised as a movie. It being labeled as an OVA would make more sense than it being labeled as a TV series, but even so, it's a movie regardless of how it's being distributed outside of Japan.

Which makes me curious to know how it was shown in Japan. As Joseph said, I really don't think they would have just made the opening and ending for international audiences.

So this is the movie mentioned on the official site? I guess I don't have to go to the theaters then.

Edit:
Just confirmed that it is.

In Japan it has never been advertised as movies, I haven't see 映画 (Eiga= Movie) anywhere. To me they are simply OVAs released in theaters, which is not odd in Japan.

Theatrical adaptations of TV series are referred to as 劇場版 not 映画, that's why you would not have seen it advertised as such.

Rather then having a separate listing I think they should just change this one to OVA 4 episodes like for monogatari series.
