I can only find the 6-movie collection available for purchase. Is the TV series lost to time or something?

It might be because the TV edition blu-ray box has limited copies. I did find the TV series on [Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/Animation-Broken-Blade-Blu-Ray-BCXA-897/dp/B00IZU75GO), which includes a novel among other things (more info on the [official site](https://breakblade.jp/blu-ray/)).

<p>I've been watching the Broken Blade "films" (as they're referred to on Wikipedia), and they're each about 50 minutes long. I was reading, however, that they are releasing an anime series. I don't really get why they're releasing a series when they already have a series, so I was wondering what the difference is, both in structure (is the difference only length, or is it also methods of video release, etc.) and content between the film series and the anime series.</p>

The TV series is a more faithful adaptation of the manga than the film series with the following non-exhaustive changes:

* **Inclusion of an epic battle from the manga of Girge and the Spartans in episode 10.**
* A short [TV special](https://myanimelist.net/anime/30573/Break_Blade__Virgins_War) (Virgins War) is included in the Blu-ray Box release of the TV series to more closely follow Nike's course of fate in the manga.
  It's supposed to be watched after episode 10.
* The order of some scenes during the negotiation in the first film has been rearranged for a better and more linear flow.
* Background music is added, changed or delayed for the following scenes:
  1. after Cleo shot at Rygart (third film),
  2. when Cleo is changing clothes for the sleeping Sigyn (fourth film), and
  3. when Girge appears on a cliff and smirks before diving off to attack Nike (fourth film).
* A passer-by's remark on Sigyn's blushing face (first film) and the monologues of newly appointed [Mileni Team members](https://breakblade.fandom.com/wiki/Mileni_Team) (fourth film) are omitted.
* The audio tracks are in LPCM (stereo) only rather than DTS-HD MA (5.1) as found in the blu-ray editions of the films.
* New OP and ED songs and animations.
  I much preferred the films' stunning OP sung by KOKIA, though.

Originally, a spinoff OVA centering around the past of the Golem Delphine and its mysterious creation was [planned](https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2014-02-02/broken-blade-films-updated-for-tv-with-spinoff-ova-in-the-works), but sadly it had been [cancelled](https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2016-12-28/broken-blade-robot-original-video-anime-cancelled/.110414).
