Haha yeah. It's all in one sitting for a movie
Hmm, you might be right maybe it's pricey due to being GITS. Yeah, OVA length would have made it tough, they were each about 50-60 mins each, and only 4 of them (5 with addition of the later OVA release of eps 9-10 of the TV version to better connect to the latest anime movie) so probably too short to mess with the schedule like that. But with the TV edit it seemed more possible.
