The full saga behind why there are two is a bit convoluted.

The short version is just watch them both, they're not the same.

The medium version is "if you want to, there is a sort of chronological watch order that weaves them together, but it's of debatable importance".

I always assumed they were similar enough that it wasn’t worth watching both. I enjoyed the ova so I’ll give the TV version a shot, thanks!

As someone who just finished the tv version, and started going through the ovas, the tv version is more plot focused with some ecchi, and the ovas are ecchi focused with a little plot

Could you link a post to the long version?

I spent five minutes trying to track down a proper explanation rather than just the various ignorant forum posts I kept finding, but that's as much time as I'm willing to allocate to the endeavor.

There's no real "story" per se, I just watched the TV version and then the OVA version myself.

The first OVA was released on December 22, 2008, with subsequent episodes released with volumes of the manga until April 6, 2015. The anime television series aired on AT-X between April 5, 2010 and June 21, 2010, and was released on DVD from June 23, 2010.

So, it's weird.

  • Dec 2008 - OVAs begin releasing

  • April 2010 - TV starts to air

  • June 2010 - TV finishes airing

  • June 2010 - Uncensored TV episodes now available on DVD

  • April 2015 - OVAs finish releasing

Here's the r/anime watch order: https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/wiki/watch_order#wiki_kiss_x_sis

(unnecessarily complicated imo)

This and also the OVAs up the raunchyness 🫣

One of my first anime. The reason I’m so fucked up today. Legendary

Don't worry about it. Watch them both, tv anime first. 🙏

Or alternatively OVA 0-2, TV 1-9, OVA 3, TV 10-12, OVA 4+.

They had a rv run and released the rest direct to online video, or OVA's. That's the short of it. Enjoy a cultural landmark 😙🤌

So that sounds like it balances out to a decent anime then?

OVA uwu as opposed to made for TV uwu.

One is the stores itself, and one is some extra that didn't occur on source material (OVA)
