Some people who have watched the Tamayura OVA's have mentioned to me that the characters portrayed there seemed to be somehow "without context" or even without history, and that made it hard to relate to them or to the story.
I think that one of the reasons the series might work for them is that there is more of a context and history that is able to be established over the course of several eps, and it seems that is one of the things ep 1 was doing.
I re-watched the 4 OVA's before watching ep 1 and found myself quickly piecing together the chronological narrative that was haphazardly let out in bits and pieces with what was presented in ep 1, and I found ep 1 all the more interesting because of that.
But it definitely might be a better lead in ... i.e. the series leads in to watching and appreciating the OVA's, whereas the OVA's might make it hard for people to be interested in the series if it did not interest them.
