Season 1, 2 and 4 of _Maria Watches Over Us_ are just normal seasons, but
season 3 is described as an OVA season.

Like Maria Watches Over Us season 3, _Full Metal Panic_ and _Baka and Test_
both had a season set in between 2 seasons, which was an OVA series (Full
Metal Panic had _Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu_ , Baka and Test had _Baka to Test
to Shoukanjuu: Matsuri_ ). However, in cases of Full Metal Panic and Baka and
Test, neither OVA series was counted as a season.

I am wondering: Why was the OVA season of Maria Watches Over Us named the
third season instead of making the 4th season the 3rd season, like the case
with Baka and Test and Full Metal Panic?
