I looked into it, went to wikipedia, then went straight to the "official" website which leads me to believe this should be considered an OAV.

It was originally many 30 seconds clips, but then these clips were thrown together.

The trivium is quite true:
Quote:
These are actually 53 episodes that are 30 seconds each, and collected as one short movie. The DVD was released in Japan on 2004-07-23

Originally as a commercial for InfoSphere (NTT PC Communications), Studio 4°C calls it "short movie 53-eps series" (ショートムービー53本シリーズ) in the product list. That so-called "OVA" in the English Wikipedia was made SEVEN YEARS after the original broadcast.

By the way, apparently the webmaster of Studio 4°C doesn't know the difference between minutes and seconds in English (sigh).
