As far as I know, the OVA is based on books, which I've never read so I don't know how much is missing.

The first handful of episodes of the TV series covers some of the same story content as the OVA but more in depth, then it switches to a different band of heroes for most of the show.

When comparing the two, I do get the impression the final few episodes of the OVA are heavily truncated and events are mashed together; the TV series purportedly follows the books more closely.

I gotcha. I'm going to watch both regardless, but I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something of the sort. I've put the game on hold to watch these and have some kind of idea of what's going on.

Gotta watch through to the end to get that sweet Deedlit nipple shot.

It's meant to serve as a bridge, which fills in the gaps from the most recent novel in the series released in August 2019. But either way it didn't do a fairly good job on story telling. Instead it was more or less the same as Touhou Luna Nights which just gives you the iconic characters and throws you into the action scene. It works on Touhou Luna Nights since Touhou fandom didn't care about plot in a rather experimental fan game but it didn't work here for the second time.

So, I did see the nip slip. I finished the 13 episode OVA and now a little ways into the Chronicles of a Holy Knight or whatever. I will admit, this game made a lot more sense after knowing who these people were. But as others have said, it also made it a lot sadder because I knew who these people are now.
