The TV series was okay, but was a lot more scattered than the OAVs. Mostly because the story was divided into two halves, with the second taking place several years later and having different protagonists. I found it pretty unexceptional, to the point that it’s one of the few series I didn’t rebuy in DVD or blu-ray after jettisoning my VHS tapes.
The OAVs have a more coherent plot, better music overall (the TV series’ only memorable song was Kiseki no Umi, the OP), and (IMHO) better artwork (although not necessarily better animation). Classic, as you say.

Agreed, although I enjoyed the TV one also.
