Think of it as a seven episode trial run for the main series.
When you get the main series you will notice it doesn't carry on but re-starts from scratch as if the ova story never happened. Anime does this occasionally. Tenchi Muyo is the best example though the short ova series that launched that was WAY better than anything that preceded it.
Also, if people here are going to collect the Patlabor series as its released, I highly recommend watching the wicked 13 movie last. It focuses on two peripheral characters from the series the two police detectives.... the labor team only briefly appears.
