Mitsubachi Maya no Bouken - unknown OVA? - no AniDB entry

[redrooster]

mostly dedicated to jfgslo and elgringo14...

when trying to find information for the german site I am active in too I ran into a 2 episodes OVA of Mitsubachi Maya no Bouken みつばちマーヤの冒険 released by Pioneer by coincidence. AniDB only is listing the two 52 episodes TV series of

Mitsubachi Maya no Bouken みつばちマーヤの冒険 and
Shin Mitsubachi Maya no Bouken 新みつばちマーヤの冒険.

Episodes are named 上巻 and 下巻, so I think there are two episodes only? Is it an unknown OVA or is the information in AniDB just missing? ANN´s got nothing too...

OVA is named みつばちマーヤの冒険 ゆかいな仲間たち編 mitsubachi maya no bouken yukaina nakama tachi hen.

in case I am correct could jfgslo please add this entry to AniDB - as it is our most preferred database we should try to take part in the completion too...

p.s. wir Deutschen nennen es Biene Maja

I don't think these are OVAs. It's just a clever way of Pioneer to sell the TV anime, like there are "periods" inside.
Maybe this sounds like something "new" then.
I have seen this trick with other TV anime (search for "Dragon Quest: Dai no Daibouken" for example).

This auction has even more volumes:

Many of them were released in 1997. And wikipedia just talks about the regular anime coproduced by Austria (?).

Sorry but I couldn't resists to show this k: :
