OVA to TV Continuity Roadmap
A source-backed map of the 1988 OVA roots and the 1993-1994 TV-era identity.
Arc shape
AniList identifies an earlier OVA project and notes the relationship between the OVA material and the 1993 TV version. PopRot treats the TV-era category as the main browsing home while acknowledging that the franchise has earlier Third Street Story material.
Why it matters
For PopRot readers, this arc grouping is more useful than forcing a battle-series model onto a cozy episodic anime. It shows where the emotional beats, comedy engines, and recurring neighborhood locations come from.
