Why they didn't do this the first time round is beyond me, way to annoy fans by making them double dip just for a 20 minute OVA, which doesn't even come on blu-ray :/

most likely because it wasn't available the first time around otherwise I'm sure they would have.

Already have the BR but I'll most certainly get it again for the OVA, I adore the series.

Considering the OVA hasn't even been licensed in the US, this is a good move from Manga UK.
It revives interest in what I imagine would be a slow seller for them now.
However, they should also be offering this OVA DVD as a standalone for people who have already bought the previous set. Silly expecting them to double-dip for a sub-only 15 minute DVD.

Ummm... nice but no thanks.

After saying in the past it wouldn't happen unless there was a 2nd season - i'm not double dipping.

Looks like a digital only release though, although nice to see it dubbed.
