I don't know about it being a rip-off...since the story ended up going in an almost opposite direction I guess you could call it an adaptation or a remake.
As for the OVA, yes I've seen the one Solar released. I couldn't make much sense out of it at all, but I do know where it fits into the series. It was a very long winded monologue that really didn't change or enhance what I had gotten out of the series.
As for the movie, I haven't seen it yet. I wonder if I should (or stay away from it)...
